Whatever you may think of The Lincoln Project and their effectiveness, the simple fact remains that if the Democratic Party and progressive movement invested more in grassroots organizations already doing the work, no one would ever even perceive a need for TLP. Invest locally.

Maybe they work. Maybe they don't. I think that's even more moot than it was last week. You know what does work? The progressive grassroots organizations already doing the labor and moving the needle, even in spaces in our country that are conservative. Support them.

I think, too, that so many Democrats have this internal fear that Republicans are better at making ads. That's not true. They're better at pandering shamelessly in one of two directions: saturated patriotism or saturated racism (sometimes both). And there's no counterpoint.

This.... doesn't make sense. If they're not the fastest or best because of a young trans woman, then it would follow that the scholarship had been offered to the young trans woman. Do you have any examples of this?

Like... if your answer is that "well, they didn't recruit a young trans woman because she's trans, obviously", wouldn't that mean these experienced and obsessed recruiters would move on to the hypothetical second place cis woman?

Again: this is completely illogical.

I mean, really think this through for all of ten seconds. College recruiters know every competitor at the top level in high school. If the young woman is openly trans, they'd know that. If she beat a cis woman, they'd know that. Yet, somehow... no scholarships for anyone? C'mon.

@Netflix

I would 100% watch a @Netflix show in which Big Bird travels the world to visit all his cousins.

If Big Bird had a cousin in Texas, that anthropomorphic canary would be named Garland. I don't make the rules.

Wow, so many edibles accusations.

@Catholic4Choice

Some personal news: I'll be joining @Catholic4Choice as their Director of Communications and Strategy on February 1st. As a Christian and someone deeply committed to pro-choice policies and reproductive health, it's a dream to join this team of brilliant advocates. (1/2)

@jamielmanson

Catholics for Choice is a pro-choice, pro-LGBTQ, pro-equality org that centers marginalized voices. Our new president @jamielmanson doesn't shy away from tough fights, and I feel grateful to be working for her. I'd like to ask folks for two favors in this next chapter...

@Catholic4Choice

1. I would love if you could all follow @Catholic4Choice to keep up with our work.

2. Please consider making a donation to the org through this announcement link. These next few years will be especially tough for repro rights, and we could use your help: catholicsforchoice.salsalabs.org/comms
