“Prices will come down,” Trump told voters during a speech last week laying out his vision for a return to the White House. “You just watch: They’ll come down, and they’ll come down fast, not only with insurance, with everything.” https://t.co/QVLdw1vKN1

It's struck a nerve because it's incredibly shitty. AOC was a phenomenal team player all through the cycle and anyone who's launching attacks on her right now is just trying to settle their own personal scores.
We are already seeing the rationalizing of how we got here and the blaming of the political party that, though flawed, actually reflects multiracial democracy. We must resist this. Voters knew exactly who Trump was and chose him anyway. This is not about the so-called excesses of the left. As the NYT editorial board writes, Trump ran the "most racist, sexist, and xenophobic campaign in modern history." As NYT reporter Lisa Lerer wrote today, "This was a conquering of the nation not by force but with a permission slip. Now, America stands on the precipice of an authoritarian style of governance never before seen in its 248-year history." This is the unsparing truth that we must confront.
I am seeing more and more opinions bubbling up about how throwing trans people to the wolves would be a winning strategy for Democrats, and I just want to quickly say: Fuck off with that absolute dog shit.
@CT_Ford It's so gross! I don't have trans kids (that I know of) and yet I'm far more concerned that they and their classmates are safe from bullying and harassment because of who they are than that somewhere, somehow, a trans kid might participate in sports.
Just interviewed RFK Jr., who said he spent two days last week with Trump and, now that the election is won, RFK repeats that the new administration will recommend getting flouride out of drinking water on Jan. 20. Adds the administration will give "information" on vaccines.
@chelsareno I trust you to do what's right, but a walk and some fresh air feels like a good antidote to....everything. (I'm mostly trying to convince myself of this)
