CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@PallasRiot I’m quite excited. Their protests were widely displayed here on the media. Bravo! To better days.

@PallasRiot Hegseth is a drunk. You should see what he has tattooed on his ass! It's gotten him free beer at the bars for the last 10 years ...

Also worth pointing out that Jeffries and Schumer just successfully beat Republicans over DHS funding, with Republicans having to go through a whole second funding attempt grinder after Democrats refused to budge. Again, here we see signs of Trump buckling from positions that he was holding for more than a year, in this case his previous unwillingness to ever negotiate with Dems on funding.(This is also a lesson in why things like mass protest movements do actually make a difference by changing political gravity. Schumer and Jeffries didn't chabge their strategy for no reason)

@cmdr_nova This won't tear down all of therapy's norms and regulations overnight, this is more like something that will be the source of major scandals that get uncovered in 10 to 20 years probably, if it holds. The near-term thing is that conversion therapists are going to be able to enter the market as if they were real medical professionals, like how chiropractors currently do.

So they kicked all the trannies out of the military and then immediately start losing a war? Do I have that right?

Hey unfriendly reminder but if someone describes American Jews as "Israeli Zionists" they're doing nazi shit. And if someone accuses random Jewish folks in the US of being Israeli Zionists you shouldn't just take their word for it?

Warren is part of the senate "fight club", the group of senators trying to oust Schumer and orchestrate a more progressive senate Dem leadership. Her endorsement of Platner is part of their strategy: they're trying to beat as many of Schumer's hand picked candidates as possible, and Mills is a major Schumer ally. Mills is also a really weak candidate (Schumer and the DSCC have really picked some real loser candidates for some very important races because they are staunch Schumer allies) and Platner is a very strong candidate that looks like he's got pretty good odds, especially in a strong Dem election year. I'd also suspect that Warren appreciates that Platner is a little wonky and surprisingly good at the inside-outside game, similar to Warren herself.Warren stans have spent years willfully ignoring that Warren is a snake who wields power pretty ruthlessly and plays politics hard. She made the CFPB happen by being ruthless, she got a seat at the table with the Biden administration by being ruthless, etc. Her image as a smart, well meaning, nerdy wonk who always tries to do things the right way is her marketing. She's definitely smart and wonky, but she's also a pretty skilled hardened political player. For Warren stans who have desperately wanted to ignore that because it tarnishes their image of her, now is maybe a moment to reflect on how much they bought the mythology. Maybe especially how she got them to turn on Sanders.
