what giving up on fighting for an issue does to a mf'er

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Women know that men don’t scheme to “dress like girls” to assault them.

They do it every day in broad daylight. And the ones in power protect each other to keep it quiet.

Just ask the House Ethics Committee. Or the President-elect of the United States.

Leave women alone.

Governor Andy Beshear, in a Trump +30 state, gives advice to Democrats: Do not throw LGBTQ+ people under the bus, it will not work.

His advice to dems: Lead on your values.

This man ran on a fully inclusive campaign in 2023 and won. He received the same kind of ads Harris did.

[Ryan O'Donnell @ryanodonnellpa]

Walz: So if you are feeling deflated, discouraged today, I get it. Take some time. Take care of yourselves. And get back in this fight when you are ready. And know that whenever you are ready to get back in that fight, I will be standing right here, ready to fight with you.

[Dean Baker @DeanBaker13]

people who had a clue about what is actually going on in the country voted for Harris by huge margins.

The Trump administration interviewing cabinet appointees

[Alex גדעון בן װעלװל @JewishWonk]

If your media consumption is a Fox morning show, Joe Rogan, Lex Fridman, Jordan Peterson, Prager, Ben Shapiro, Steven Crowder, right wing memes on reddit, Twitter, and Instagram, and your nightly consumption is Fox, you will have no way of knowing anything good Dems do.

@Taniel Very helpful

@lxeagle17 What about the House overall?

[Everything Price Sufferer (but especially eggs) @agraybee]

I will say this: I'm old enough to have voted in 2004, and I can't describe how hard I would have laughed if you told me that America was four years from electing a Black guy named Hussein in a landslide.

@madwonk @alanthefisher The latter parts are both going to need to change. At least we’ll all be able to unite again against these freaks

The 18-34 demographic shift to me is the most startling. At the risk of painting with a far-too broad brush, it's an entire generation that's trending toward post-literacy — that doesn't read full articles, doesn't read books, gets its information from bits and bobs of video while scrolling. This is true not just of young people, of course, but it's reshaping the political landscape.

[lee @leleleanna]

nobody ACTUALLY understands basic sociology, psychology, biology, or even economics. media literacy is so fucking low and horrendous. nobody knows how to even research properly anymore. everybody is referencing google AI and chat gpt for facts. i’m going to fucking cry bro

[Lindsay Beyerstein @beyerstein]

It all comes down to the information environment. Inflation is down, growth is up, border interceptions are down, crime is down, vaccines work great--and none of it matters. Trump created a conspiracist permission structure to ignore or deny all the facts and focus on hate.

[@shuabragg.bsky.social @shua_bragg]

@Ian_Gay_briel @whstancil I'm guessing that's only a fraction of the huge increase though

[Dylan Byers @DylanByers]

Nevada’s secretary of state, seeing high number of rejected ballots in Clark and Washoe, says one of the biggest issues is that the signatures of younger voters don’t always match what’s on their driver’s licenses:

“It’s mostly the fact that young people don’t have signatures these days. And when they did register to vote through the automatic voter registration process, they signed a digital pad at D.M.V., and that became their license signature.”
