it is genuinely fascinating to see a man who is simply blind to everything other than exploitation and brutality. he has Steppe Warlord Brain
It's genuinely fascinating that the US president keeps announcing that he just flat out doesn't know what trade is, he legit doesn't appreciate the concept of exchange and instead views economic activity through the lens of a dragon attempting to maximise its gold hoard to sit upon.
Well, that took longer than I thought, but he hath spoken:

The dumbest asshole in the country and the President need to be two different people moving forward
Trump: "If we lose $50 billion a year with a country, and we say 'we're not going to trade with you anymore,' we don't lose $50 billion a year. It's very simple. Right?"

this is probably the worst language i've seen a democrat use. saying "transgender ideology" is straight out of the right wing playbook. this is looking more and more like Labour, so I don't want to hear any more shit about how even the transphobic democrats broadly support our rights.
Holy shit.

Marcy Kaptur becomes the latest Dem to release an anti-trans ad, and its worse than all the rest combined.

"I voted WITH Republicans to keep transgender ideology out of schools, and let me be clear, boys should NOT play in girls sports."

This is getting out of control.

Weird, she ‘moderated’ on trans rights and yet her opponent is still calling her a deranged leftist SJW. If only there was some kind of precedent for this so it could have been predicted in advance.
Marcy Kaptur is the incumbent with a 5 point polling lead so I must assume she put out this ad because this is what she believes.

...Assumption #2 is "Trans people are a brand-new minority group, so you just need to be patient until the rest of society is finally ready to accept you." even though this is completely untrue, many cis ppl sadly seem to believe it... juliaserano.medium.com/on-democrats...

This is a wild misapplication of the test for a stay, sure, but it’s also just disconnected from how the real world works. In Alito’s mind, the only factor for determining whether something is legal is “Does Mister Trump want it.” A little bobblehead for fascism. Vile, stupid, get out of my face.

But far more importantly, the voters make no appearance whatsoever in Justice Alito’s reasoning. He, like the government, does not dispute that using the rule in 2026 would disenfranchise millions of our most vulnerable people. He doesn’t care. It’s despicable and antidemocratic.

the truly crazy making part of all of this is that voter fraud EFFECTIVELY DOES NOT EXIST. you have a better chance of finding an actual leprechaun at the end of the rainbow than of finding evidence of voter fraud that influences an election
Genuinely an insane paragraph from Sam Alito. “Voter fraud is real and scary and we have to stop it, so the fact that implementing Trump’s mail ballot rule will disenfranchise millions is legally irrelevant.” Brain melted. A right-wing podcaster in a robe. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

ah working class is when you are a contractor pulling six figures from a business that earns seven, professional is when you pull $40K doing office work
i like that their methodology would classify someone making $150k as working class if they don't have a college degree, but someone making 50k who has a college degree isn't.

It's clear that the Trump regime is committing an armed robbery in Venezuela, and they won't tell the public who's getting the loot.
CASTEN: Trump said 'we're taking in billions and billions from Venezuela.' Who is the 'we'? That suggests flows to US persons

BESSENT: Again, this is one of the largest assets ever to go on the US balance sheets

CASTEN: You can't testify whether or not they're flowing to US persons?

HRT should be available over the counter, legal documents should not have gender markers, name changes should be a matter of filling out an online form, and being bigotry should be a cause for deep public shame and mockery

quote this with your maximalist approach to trans rights

Trans people should have right of first refusal for every punishment given to the perpetrators; WE get to set the floor.

I want the right of recompense. The families who erased their trans children should themselves be erased.
One of the more insidious phrasings I've seen with the Dems/trans rights discourse lately is the idea that trans people are being greedy and demanding a "maximalist" approach to trans rights.

No, you cannot call the state of rights American trans people had as recently as 2023 "maximalist," sorry.
