proud democrat - in victory and in defeat. we remain the party of the working class and normal people, even as we have become the party that champions civil rights for a wide range of americans. we don't need to surrender one for the other - the two depend on each other, and they always have. geared towards those in the majority who already largely (if not exactly) share my values and bridging the communication gaps amongst ourselves - since we already speak so much of the same language - as well as remembering who we are really up against in the battle for the very core of our country.

Republicans melt down over Cracker Barrel while shrugging off a church shooting, spreading lies about the shooter, and escalating election rigging.

In 2016, friends assured me marriage equality was safe — “they’ll never come for it, and if they do, it has to go through the courts.” Here we are, Shelby. Another swore she’d fight if Republicans attacked fundamental rights — then voted for Trump three times. Where are you now, Taylor?
Marriage equality has 70% support, yet the damage from 2016 is still unfolding. Democrats warned us then, and again in 2024. We were mocked, ignored...

it’s been a very depressing few months for those of us who are any combination of smart or empathetic. it’s bad news all the time from every angle. it feels like the bad people are winning (and they are, right now, because the country let them) and there is no way back. it doesn’t help to see what feels like everyone gleefully taking a blowtorch to the only political party in the country that forewarned of all of this and took en...
