Mordaunt gone, Shapps gone, Fabricant & the hair he stole from Boris Johnson gone, Rees-Mogg & his phony posh accent GONE, Jeremy keeps his seat, the Greens take Bristol Central, Davey's Lib Dems bungee-jump into a solid 3rd position -- it's not all perfect (Clacton, ugh), but GOOD MORNING!!!

Aside from the problem of the Heritage Foundation planning to sue to keep a replacement nominee off the ballot in several states, when was the last time you saw the Dems have a "clean and bloodless" nominating process outside of incumbency?

Not the most terrifying thing but perhaps the most infuriating: every single thing we said about these fascist Republican fucks has been proved out and all the people who assured us that what is happening would never happen smoothly pivoted to yes it's happening but it will be fine.

"Amidst all the tearing of garments and vultures circling, the fact is that we’re still pretty much where we were pre-debate. There are two questions: Is Biden fit to serve? And, would Democrats benefit by forcing him off the ticket? The answers remain 'he is' and 'probably not.'"

A damning joint report by Yale Law School and Yale Medicine finds the UK's Cass Review "levies unsupported assertions about gender identity, gender dysphoria, standard practices, and safety of gender-affirming medical treatments, and it repeats claims that have been disproved by sound evidence.”

Pride BEGAN during a time of anti-sodomy laws. The first Pride was a riot against those laws. Pride is celebrated around the world in places where it is much more dangerous to be queer than here. Pride is not dependent on being ALLOWED to be who we are, it’s a promise that we WILL be no matter what

My own fear is that an open convention would pass over Harris in favor of a White savior, which loses much of the black vote and loses us the election for certain.

The stakes are huge, but we've always known that. Decision-making under pressure means taking a step back and thinking carefully through all the possibilities, not immediately jumping off the cliff and hoping you'll figure out a way to knit a parachute before you hit the ground.

Don't fall for the trap. If Democrats listen to the New York Times and try to replace Biden, the New York Times will have a new narrative: Democrats in chaos. And they will then have 347 stories a week about whoever is the candidate, all focused on how inexperienced and unprepared that person is.

Notice this isn't even about what most of us would call "porn," it's about "transgender ideology." They're talking about imprisoning drag queens & therapists who do trans-affirmative therapy, putting librarians on the sex offender registry for stocking any book w/ trans content, etc.

PERFORMATIVE DESPAIR IS NOT A POLITICAL STRATEGY. Do not conjure your own imagined demise. In particular, don't do it collectively, on a communication system meant to amplify emotional contagion. (simpler/more esoteric: don't do death magic at collective scale on your own minds, for fuck's sake)
