Happy Trans Day of Visibility #TDOV Here’s a thread of pics of me hanging out, being Trans. We’ll start with me sleeping through a football game w/ my dad and chilling in a kiddie pool. Little country-chunky-monkey James was trans, even then! 🥰

Every f**king time with these people. And watch, they’ll concede on repro, they’ll hold the subsidies vote, which we’ll lose… then Dems will be like, “we’re proud of our hard work and efforts, this is why everyone needs to vote”

Then people will be all, “Why should we vote for you? What about when you caved on a weak deal and I lost my health insurance?” and they’ll be all, “See! This is why we lose!! You’re so busy attacking your own team! You must want fascists to win!”

1. 90% of Americans use the standard deduction and aren't able to deduct charitable contributions So, tax deductions for charitable giving is mostly for the wealthy. And the way that many wealthy people use the deduction has become increasingly divorced from its purpose 🧵

Who needs GOP enemies when you have Dem friends like Kathy Hochul. This is how we build toward losing in 2024.

New York Governor Kathy Hochul is sitting on a pile of bills. She isn’t vetoing them, or signing them, she’s just keeping them in limbo. All of them were passed by the Democratic Assembly and passed by the Democratic Senate. But she simply isn’t making them into law. Thread.

I miss the days when the most serious function of this site would have been to discuss Dolly Parton for the next 48-72 hours.

Wheelchair users have been trying for ages to raise awareness about their wheelchairs being broken so often when they fly, and the devastating impact this has on them. @AmericanAir baggage handlers decided to give a demonstration of how much they enjoy breaking them 😡

Georgia’s infant mortality increase last year was one of the four worst in the nation, with about seven babies dying for every 1,000 births. #gapol ajc.com/news/health-news/cdc…

Vote to Stop Cop City@CopCityVote27 Oct 2023
Before we even begin to comment on how inappropriate and against the City’s OWN published guidelines this would be if true, @DougShipman needs to confirm if the City Council gave permission to a city-hired law firm to begin verification of petitions behind closed doors.

@R_A_Belcher26 Oct 2023
Couple of items of note about the APD training ctr. The law firm the city hired to review the petition has concluded 70,000 of 116k signatures should be tossed. That leaves organizers 12k short. BTW, 11th Circuit not hearing orals until Dec. City just keeps building.

Why is it always "work more and take less" rather than tax the rich?
New York Times opinion piece with the title "for the good of the country, older Americans should work more and take less." The drawing below shows young people carrying a tired old man.

Katie Bernhardt, the Louisiana Democrats state party chair, spent $300k on a statewide TV ad campaign earlier this year featuring….herself. Meanwhile half the legislative seats that were in play yesterday didn’t even have a Democratic candidate running louisianaradionetwork.com/20…

Biden in primary: I can absolutely do the thing you want and I can absolutely stop that thing you hate. In fact, I’m the only one that can. Biden as president: You can’t expect me to accomplish that or stop this, presidents don’t have that power. But also I am your savior.

Hint: If you worry less about what gay and trans people do in public and worry more about what YOU do in public, everyone will be better off, yourself included.

Do not allow the state to hide behind this medical jargon - as an internist who treats all of these conditions every day I can summarize - the Atlanta police killed deacon Hollman. Release the footage as the family requested and end police based traffic enforcement
