Democrats did not succeed in communicating some of their wins to low-info voters. It’s a major point to Stancil’s theory of media ecosystems.

A party headed by lawyers and that courts disaffected Republicans is never going to be a revolutionary party. Or, from all available data, a winning party.

Took a long walk with Kira Dault (she/her) this morning. We talked a lot about democracies — those that have existed, and those yet to come. I find my mind returns again and again today to the matter of status confessionis, and what it means to claim (or reject) the name “Christian” now.

Jill Stein has been radio silent. I guess she’s done fighting for Palestine now. Shock surprise.

Donald Trump’s winning message was: - level Gaza - the 2020 election was rigged - they’re eating the dogs and cats - kids go to school for gender reassignment surgery - deport immigrants I think it would be cool to talk about why people voted FOR that instead of shaming us.

FWIW here is my take on the Dems (a minority of them thank God) who seem to be so ready to throw trans folks under the bus: 1. This is classic scapegoating. The Dems decided over the last 4 months that their path to victory required saying nothing on "identity issues". 1/

Nevermind that queer people voted as a lock for Democrats (83% in the exit polling I saw). Because that is how scapegoating works: you feel safe when you have an enemy and blaming the innocent for something you are guilty for is a great way to feel safe and righteous. 7/

The fact that 60,000,000 people voted for rapist is precisely why women would rather be in the woods with a bear.

Since the election, some have noticed a change in the tone of my posts—perhaps one of anger or bitterness. There are so many reasons for this righteous anger, but I want to share the most personal. Those who voted a known rapist into power need to understand the pain and damage

Okay so, I was walking home from work, and if someone puts a microphone in my face, I’m going to talk about abortion. If I ever get pregnant and can’t get an abortion, I will die. Birth control can fail. Disabled people have sex, and disabled people sometimes need abortions.

Disabled pregnant people broadly have an *11 times* greater risk of death from pregnancy complications than the non-disabled population. nih.gov/news-events/ne…

Because they prioritize teachers. It really is that simple. The history of Kentucky is not hard to understand. It’s also why they shot down the abortion ban and public funds for private schools.

Cís friends, I need you to hear this: Putting trans people in camps won't look like putting trans people in camps. It'll look like banning HRT (just like mifepristone), then criminalizing possession of estradiol or testosterone w/o a prescription (just like marijuana). 1/7

Like many of you, I was gutted by many of the results across the country on Tuesday night. As we look at the results though, we also see that the work we did here in Wisconsin made a real difference. 1/

this an essential tradeoff I don't see people wrestling with: the cessation of COVID relief absolutely hurt people AND ALSO it's extension almost certainly would have exacerbated precisely the problem (inflation) that people hated the most.

Fantastic comments from Pete Buttiegeig today. Highlights: 1) Healthy introspection is starting to happen on how Dems get in our own way, especially on housing (& clean energy, transit, etc.) 2) In trying to prevent bad things, Dems have made it harder to deliver good things

TOMORROW: We're looking forward to seeing you all at our monthly call. Please invite your friends and family that would be interested in exploring this important topic. 🩶🗻 Here is the RSVP link: bit.ly/monthly-call-n…

Trump pardoned his criminal co conspirators. I’m 100% behind Biden pardoning his son.
