  • Yeah, this seems right. I had an easier time going through Brussels Zaventem during the September 2025 airport cyberattacks than I did Dallas-Fort Worth first week of this past January (before the TSA strike started). Even my straightest, cis-est, whitest, most American coworker (this is how he describes himself) got stopped and taken to a separate room for 40 minutes, and then we got rebooked to a flight two days later with no hotel accommodations, and no car. The cherry on top was having to do the whole security dance in full all over again.

    Fun.




  • That’s nice, but that doesn’t help us prevent our current predicament, or stop the alienation of disenfranchised voters in the future. Hispanics by and large also voted for Trump, and those were not “protest votes”. That does not mean they deserve the inhumane treatment ICE is perpetuating towards them.

    There are 89 million untapped voters, Democrats should be salivating over that. Instead they are pairing with the Cheneys and moving farther right.

    Harris broke fundraising records with her candidacy with 64% of those donations being first time donors. They actually could have had the momentum to mobilize non-voters. Instead they capitulated to corporate interests as usual.

    Again, the problem isn’t “protest voters”, they are such a small percentage. People focusing on this are ignoring a lot of other factors, and honestly it seems like another way to scapegoat a DNC systemic problem.
