At about a week out, I start thinking about all the things that can go wrong. My brain is broken.

You: Liberals need a positive vision for masculinity to compete with the dark version propagated by the likes of Jordan Peterson and Andrew Tate. Me:

Whenever the latest moral panic has conservatives ganging up on some vulnerable out group, you inevitably get the story of the one conservative who knows & cares for a member of the out group & thus has opted out of the moral panic. washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/2023…

For some reason these stories are always framed as, "gosh, look, what a nice conservative" instead of "gosh, look, conservatives are moral cretins incapable of basic empathy unless they are directly involved."

I hope Defector re-ups this post daily until the WYTS series is done.

🚨 RED ALERT: Republicans in the Wisconsin State Legislature are threatening to impeach Justice Janet Protasiewicz—before she’s even heard a single case. A desperate, unconstitutional, and obscene threat to democracy… and 2024. Here’s what’s happening & how to fight back:🧵

H.Res. 590 (116th) condemns an impeachment inquiry without a House vote as an "abuse of power" that "brings discredit to the House" and "undermines the voting privileges afforded to each Member and the constituents they represent" congress.gov/bill/116th-con… Kevin McCarthy wrote it.

Contemplating the latest Trump revelations, the chaos in the US House, the bullshit hearings, the servicing of Putin ... it just makes me feel genuinely crazy that anyone is voting for a Republican for anything. I barely even know how to argue. I just wanna say: LOOK AROUND.

To the woman in the green jacket: I think you dropped this 👑

Weird thing for a non-union organization to tweet while they layoff their own workers.🧐

Japan has discovered the proper use of golf courses: cover them with solar panels! asahi.com/ajw/articles/1…

Has Hannity met the Speaker of the House?

Plus: Glen Hansard and Lisa O’Neill perform ‘Fairytale of New York’ as a reflection after Communion. Can honestly say this is the first time I’ve ever seen dancing in the aisles at a funeral…

Show this to a Republican who cares about the border.

Spread this far and wide (and watch until the end, trust me)

Read this, then throw some money to Ben Wikler and the Wisconsin Democrats.

Now would be a good time to make sure that you’re registered to vote—and to make a plan (and not just “concepts of a plan”) for how you’re going to cast your ballot.
