of course if you drop two out of the three arguments we’re winning the backlash wouldn’t have been nearly as momentous, people would still have those excuses to ignore the corruption/abuse of power red flags. that’s no failure except theirs though
not a failure. people ignored trump’s blaring red flags because he successfully framed the election around reversing biden/harris admin inflation and border chaos. vibes turned against him bc he failed: prices stuck/rose, way more immigration policy chaos, even louder red flags
Ultimately no matter how much we win by in 2026 I consider this year kinda a failure.
Voters don’t hate trump for his attacks on democracy or rampant corruption, but for high gas prices and lack of deflation, the same thing that got us into this mess
As Yom Kippur approaches, to everyone I’ve wronged, been mean to or been rude to this year, please take some time to reflect on what you did to make me act that way.
“im not blue tribe! im not blue tribe!!”,i continue to insist as i slowly shrink and transform into an ordinary strongly Democratic-aligned political constituency

@siobh_99@LilithLovett we should be ten times as condescending. if you’d throw away our rights over sports restrictions, you can fuck all the way off out of our movement
@jakeformers@radiowavemoth@AriDrennen if you thought it was so obvious dems would do the same, you wouldn’t have to lie about what talarico said to make him sound bad
@radiowavemoth@AriDrennen a national ban on surgeries for minors (that almost never happen to begin with)
it’s so mild that you have to contort it into a ban on all trans healthcare for everyone to even argue that it’s not mild
thank god for bleeding heart liberals. advocating for us is the most thankless job ever, dems would have been so much better off right now if they never bothered with us, and yet talarico will keep giving sermons calling for acceptance even as we berate him for trying to win
well it turns out give democrats a choice of "capitulate to fascism" or "support minority groups" they'll always end up capitulating to fascism. a shame they don't stand with the trans community, can't blame trans people that can't bring themselves to support democrats
Stuyvesant High School was ranked #2,561 in this year’s @USNewsEducation National Rankings; last year, it was #33. Other top NY schools also fell in the rankings. What caused the precipitous drop?
@NYSED would not permit College Board to release the aggregate AP (Advanced Placement) scores used in the ranking calculations. Why? Commissioner Betty Rosa has not provided a reason, but insinuated that it was to protect student privacy.
Such a bold-faced lie that @USNews issued a statement: “NYSED has characterized U.S. News’ request as an attempt to obtain protected, individual student-level data. This is categorically false. No individual student data was requested.”
Why does the NYS Education Department want New York schools to look bad? We deserve an answer.
