Ten years ago, a trans woman was in a supporting role in the most popular television show of the era, and people loved her. She was on the cover of magazines, and now we have weak centrists saying it’s impossible to change public opinion. The right already changed public opinion!
they shamelessly called this hero a terrorist as well. we have to stop letting these cynical monsters exploit the trauma of 9/11 25 years later, to once again justify waging wars in the middle east and denying americans their civil liberties
FACT CHECK: Mike Rogers' pledge to "put a shop class back in every high school" is not only bogus, but Rogers actually voted for legislation that drove schools to abandon shop class in the first place. #MISen https://t.co/THYAcdMFAL
A 23-year-old mom spent a month in jail, lost her job, and missed her kid’s birthday because a $2 police test kit mistook leftover SpaghettiOs for crystal meth.
Ashley Huff told cops the dried sauce on a spoon was pasta. The cheap chemical pouch said otherwise, and the system took a plastic vial over common sense.
The Quattrone Center found these kits trigger 30,000 wrongful arrests a year with up to a 38% failure rate to this day.
it’s negligence to keep using this kind of test.
The center-left clearly wants to throw trans people under the bus and the only thing holding them back is a moral taboo carefully constructed by activists over the last few decades. If we fail to enforce that taboo, the whole house of cards will collapse in seconds.
Why is Ramaswamy flailing?
Because Ohioans are figuring out that he’s a creep who made his millions scamming Alzheimer's patients in a now-infamous "pump and dump" scheme.
He wants more data centers in Ohio because he's invested in them, calls Ohioans lazy, mediocre, and jealous, wants to close our colleges and universities. Called affordability a "buzzword." His net worth has doubled to $2B since announcing his run for governor.
He will never, ever understand what Ohioans are going through.
And they know it.

"we must capitulate on trans rights to win votes" rings pretty hollow from democrats when you consider how the party refuses to budge even a little on its support for israel
so many billionaires wanted trump to become president was so that his administration would enable them to completely enshittify every aspect of our lives at 100 times the rate
It’s pretty funny how quickly we came full circle to the big tent stuff being used to directly justify not taking wildly popular economic positions that would offend elites.
He's also accused of drugging and raping a woman. He settled for an undisclosed sum to make it go away. It was a staffer with the Federation of Republican women who had been trying to get him to stop being creepy while he was drunk at a bar harassing other attendees
this is false btw. initial covid response completely disproved that the state has to move as slowly or "carefully" (eg afraid of upsetting private sector interests and austerity ghouls) as we're led to believe
