Finally an article calling it what it is. Racism and misogyny .

Or they recognize that a lot of their neighbors are both misogynist and racist. Democrats should have run a primary.

I guess people who live internationally are unaware but, there's a lot of racism and misogyny in the U.S. The democrats should have run a primary and Biden should never have been in the race.

Judith Butler's books.

Their latest one is very accessible, who's afraid of gender. Their other stuff is more aimed at other philosophers who work in critical gender theory and can be a lot more difficult to read, but still rewarding.

Racists, misogynists, homophobes, billionaires.

Oh and Russia and Israel.

I'm scared too. I just started hormone replacement therapy a few months ago, and found self-acceptance for the first time in my life. And also have a child, who's a very sweet boy that will become a young man with misogynist assholes in power. That's not the example I want for him.

I've been crying this morning. And I'm crying now.

I'm also blaming propaganda from billionaires and Russia.

As well as the White House. Biden should have stepped down so we could have ran an actual primary.

And the White House sat on Trump's insurrection for four fucking years.

No it means because the inflation happened on the watch of the Democrats that the Democrats are getting blamed for it even though a lot of it was caused by how Trump handled COVID.

But US voters have a very short memory. And Trump is a very good liar.

Also I forgot to mention gender played a huge role in this. A lot of this is about misogyny and racism underneath the surface.

Unfortunately, the Democrats should have ran a white man. Because that's the state of this country really.

Inflation.

But I think racism and homophobia as well as religion is another big reason. It just was articulated a lot less by people.

Turnout in my swing state district was high today when I went to the polls.

But we're a pretty liberal district.

Still left me feeling cautiously optimistic.

This case was for the emergency order, to shut it down yesterday instead of today when it ends anyway.

There is a criminal cases well.

At least, according to an article that was posted yesterday when this happened

This was the emergency order to shut it down. Which would have just ended it yesterday, instead of today when it would end anyway.

There's still a criminal case proceeding.

Hopefully with a different judge.
