White, cis, het, GenX male (hence: he/him). Not unaware of my privilege, didn't choose it, don't always know what to do with it, but willing to harness it in furtherance of the fight to dismantle it--just may need to be shown how.

Honestly, I don't recall--he blocked me back in March, evidently (and it must've been in the midst of some exchange, because there's a few folks he blocked all at once on that day). But looking over his blocklist, he's evidently been antagonistic with a number of good people, going back over a year

We need more, but credit where due: both The Nation (June 2024 issue) and Boston Review have run a breakdown of the Project 2025 “Mandate for Leadership” document. Media Matters, too. Lots of good work going on digesting this.

I will defend your right to vote your conscience, whatever that conscience tells you. But if you act like the milquetoast Democratic Party is A BIGGER THREAT than the GOP and its openly fascistic aims, you don’t actually give a shit about human suffering. You’re just nursing a grudge.

Per Wikipedia, each UK constituency must have an electorate that is no smaller than 69,724 and no larger than 77,062. If the United States had a similar level of representation, we would have over 2100 members of the House of Representatives. I say bring it on.

This is Stephen Miller's law firm. They're also currently repping a TV reporter suing CBS-LA for being anti-white, which as a former CBS-LA reporter I think is absolutely laughable. But they're trying to create still more legal precedent for a racist takeover, it's clear

CDC: COVID is a health threat that can surge all year round.

NY Democrats: The pandemic is over, let's ban masks!

The mask ban is anti-science, anti-public health, anti-safety.

Even in the scenario where Dems have all of Congress but lose the presidency is utterly devastating. Science agencies (NASA, NSF, NOAA, EPA, etc) will be gutted - they were working on doing this before. We’ll lose cabinet positions like Deb Haaland, the first Native American cabinet secretary.
