To be honest, we're all still learning, even those of us who have moved a long way from our more patriarchal upbringing. We haven't cleared every hurdle. We STILL have to LISTEN.
Nefarious Newt @NefariousNewtAs a cisgendered, middle-aged White male, I have no dog in the "butch" kerfuffle. Some are offended, some are not, and we each will have to find our own level with it. We will also each have to learn to be more sensitive to the use of words like it, where we might not have considered them offensive.01:50 PM - May 18, 2024

I once went to a political fundraiser where the headliner was the great comic Barry Crimmins. He did an unforgettable long-form set about the difference between liberals & the Right.
Why do liberals so often devolve into circular firing squads while R's grin & vote in a bloc?
Trauma.

"In a move [she] described as 'highly unusual and still unclear to me how legitimate it was,' the GOP-led committee vacated both the typical amendment process and legislative debate that follows, moving directly to vote on their own text without allowing for amendments or objections to be heard."

Did you stretch before that reach? The word "butch" did not attach to "women" or the LGBTQ movement until the 1940s. The word was used amongst Black Americans long before then to describe the physique of those who were sharecroppers in the field. "Butch" workers presented as strong and dominant.

The difference between Biden and trump.
1. Biden's position is the Presidents job is to protect the USA.
2. Trump's position is to use the USA as HIS property.
Everything makes perfect sense after that.

"The U.S. State Department issued a "Worldwide Caution" alert on Friday, warning U.S. citizens overseas to exercise increased caution due to "the increased potential for foreign terrorist organization-inspired violence against LGBTQI+ persons & events.""

The Russians intervened to help Trump in 2016 and 2020. They're back again for 2024—with insufficient attention paid to this threat to US democracy. Check out the latest in my OUR LAND newsletter.

Samuel Alito supported Trump’s coup and now is trying to make sure he’s immune from being prosecuted for it.

Women have been through too much in the fight for basic autonomy, we're never going back. I'll take inspiration for this election where I can get it: my maternal grandmother was a 'Rosie the Riveter' during WWII. I won't forget her struggles on days I feel tired. Who empowers you when you're weary?

To clarify:
Last night Trump demanded that BIDEN be drug tested before the 6/27 debate
In about 10 seconds Biden will say something like, "Happy to Donald, but only if you do it too"
And Donald can't do that
Because ... adderall
And god knows what else
So we all know where this is going ..

He's again demanding pre-debate drug testing
-which we KNOW he can't pass
He's looking for a way out:

Some of our LGBTQ+ users say it isn't derogatory, while others say it is. Others believe context matters.
TriXteR Phillips @TriXteRPhillipsAt first I thought so so I consulted online dictionaries. The general consensus is seen in the screenshot below is that it it not derogatory.11:29 AM - May 18, 2024
That said, while I'm glad the Rep is sticking up for herself, I'm still not sure that it isn't possibly homophobic.

That is how I took it as well. That said, I also want to make sure anything I share isn't insensitive to our LGBTQ+ community. I was accused of being homophobic for sharing Rep. Crockett's tweet about her new clapback collection.
Nikki Barnes @NikkiBarnesFLNo, nothing about the exchange between Crockett and MTG had anything to do with the LGBTQ community. MTG talked about Crockett's lashes and Crockett fired back about her being built like a side-x-side refrigerator, a stackable washer & dryer, bad body Buick.11:36 AM - May 18, 2024

Mark Jacob wrote: “When I was an editor at the Chicago Tribune, I would’ve been in trouble if I’d let my wife put a political bumper sticker on our car. But a Supreme Court justice’s home can fly a flag of insurrection and he’s still allowed to rule on whether the head insurrectionist has immunity.”

How about removing a Supreme Court justice or two who sympathize with insurrectionists and enemies of the constitution? What if they were also undermining public faith in our country and its institutions? Any of that worthy of consideration?

It's bad enough we don't technically elect justices, but we get their instigating relatives starting shit from behind the safety lines, too? The GOP SCOTUS practically marries into a democracy-squashing tag-team. Wild that liberal justices have partners who don't meddle in their professional lives.

Donna Rostant: "As a lawyer, it pains me to agree with you. I always had such high regard for the Supreme Court. But, the Court became illegitimate when Mitch McConnell denied Obama his rightful candidate, and then lied about letting the “people decide” when he rammed through ACB’s confirmation."

Update: Rudy Giuliani was at a top Kari Lake advisor’s house in Palm Beach for his 80th birthday party when he was served w/ Arizona AG indictment papers. The process server waited until they finished singing Happy Birthday, asked his name & served him during the live-streamed party.
