Dear #MAGA,

Keep telling us that #walz put free tampons in school bathrooms.

Keep telling us that he gave all children free school breakfast/lunch.

Keep bleating about how he mentored his school's gay/straight alliance.

How he was "just a school teacher" and never went to law school.

We know these things. What's more, we like them. Many of us want MORE progressive candidates - many more of us than you can possibly imagine.

We love our children and we love other people's children (scandalous, I know!)

What you call #socialism we call #humanity. We are happy to help feed children - and we think you are weird that you think that's wrong.

So keep telling us how #progressive he is. We like his brand of progress. We'd like even more of it.

To borrow a phrase from our cousins in #Britain (and I really hope they don't mind):

We are many. You are few.
We are #America. Who are you?

Dear liberals,

Both

“Donald Trump will enable genocide in Gaza for corrupt, venal, and racist reasons,”

and

“Joe Biden is enabling genocide in Gaza for structural, political reasons,”

result in genocide in Gaza.

Love,

Possum

On Monday, the Scottish NHS are going to revoke the right of trans people in Scotland to self-refer to their gender identity service. They will have to convince a GP to refer them.

No clinical reason has been given. No trans people have apparently been consulted. We only know because this information was leaked ahead of time.

If you’re thinking of a referral to a Scottish GIC, do so TODAY.

What a nice kid.

This seems important to share.

Reminder - cancer charity - yes, a cancer charity...

Liberals: we have no idea why the plebs are voting for the fascists… Maybe it’s our messaging. Darling, pass the Dom Perignon, won’t you… I must write a social-media treatise on this post-haste.

“Nazism was a movement built on its ability to bring together the forces of the right. The party had achieved this remarkable balancing act by appealing to as many prejudices and obsessions as possible; they embraced antisemitism, anti-Marxism, Völkisch romanticism, Nordic mysticism, atheism, anti-capitalism, eugenics, and colonial imperialism. The result was a wild and at times unstable mix of traditionalism, conservatism, and radicalism. Colonial imperialism was one of the more important of these political strands, and while campaigning at the ballot box, the Nazis skillfully exploited the nostalgic longing for the lost colonies to great effect.

Even after coming to power in 1933 and dismantling the democratic apparatus of the Weimar state, it is remarkable how acutely sensitive to public opinion the party remained. Despite the totalitarian nature of Nazi rule, the party machine, oiled from a decade of electioneering, was primed to keep its disparate support blocks moving in the same direction, constantly assuring each of them that their particular concerns and preoccupations were at the core of the party’s programme and in the forefront of the Fuhrer’s mind.”

Remember, if a boxer ‘hitting too hard’ was wild we’ve yet to get to the track and field events where lots of non-white non-stereotypical competitors maybe seen running too fast and jumping or throwing too far. Wild!
