"In the meantime, I urge Democrats to reject the tired, bad-faith narrative of “losing to wokeism” and stand firm as champions for the marginalized. If Democrats falter, abandoning their role as allies, those without a voice will be left utterly defenseless—and that’s exactly what the haters want.

Once all Hispanics are deported or killed, they—Christian Right— will come for the blacks and the Jews. Remember that the Black Panthers started in Oakland only to help and protect their own. So, the white government gunned them all down using the FBI.
Then, all the nice white liberals sitting on the sidelines talking peace and love will be next.
Reminds me of the scene in Bachelor Party "She-Tim" flipped the toilet seat up, hiked up his dress, and took a leak standing up. I'm sure MAGA Mike's gonna get a chubby and his porn alert on his phone will go off.
You would kind of think that even dumb f**ks like Mace would find something better to do with her time than rage post time after time after time about one TS person. I suppose it's a little odd that a man thinks he's a woman, although a biologically female brain in a male body IS possible. But in any case, what's the big deal? he/she is going to go into a stall, sit down, and relieve herself/himself. So maybe she has a willy instead of a kitty. So freaking what? And it isn't TS people who rape kids its REPUBLICANS - may they be buggered by buffalo!
Some trans people, like the beautiful and famous James Bond girl, Caroline Cossey, have a chromosomal condition "Through puberty, Cossey was distinctly feminine in appearance due to an intersex variation of XXXY syndrome (which she was unaware of until adulthood)"
That said, there are a number of valid reasons why an individual may be trans that are deeply personal and private. The Mace's of the world just need to back to fuck up and mind their own business. As you said--it doesn't even matter--how about working on the economy, Mace?
I adore Jasmine Crockett, she's brilliant!! I admire her wit and sense of humor.....
Back in the day, when I was in undergrad, I worked part time for a urologist (my mom was his scrub nurse) and he did the first stages of the trans surgeries. I met a lot of trans people. They were from all walks of life, every job you can imagine and were some of the most caring and compassionate people I'd ever met. I'll never forget how two of the patients were carpenters and when we couldn't find anyone to do some work on the house, they came over and did the work for us, selflessly helping us, we couldn't believe how generous they were. We all had a great dinner together and remained friends.
I also managed a hair salon during grad school, again, more trans clients. Again, the nicest people you could ever meet.
I'll never ever understand the depth of ignorance some people have toward others who might be different than them. What is it to THEM what path anyone is traveling on in this life???? Why do they hate someone they don't even KNOW????? How can some people be like this??? It's heartbreaking, it truly is.
Ignorance is one of the biggest cancers on societies. It is born in narrow, ill informed minds and metastasizes, slowly throughout a community. Unless those with courage stand up and fight it, it will never be eradicated, it will always be simmering in the background. Knowledge is POWER, we have to inform others constantly, give them the TRUTH about the situation. Otherwise, we're going to be hearing "they're eating the public bathrooms !! " "They're eating the pets in the public bathrooms!". .....😞
Being "woke" is not a negative thing, it's being sensitive and mindful of the rights of others. It's about leveling the playing field and lifting everyone up. It's compassion and understanding that some of us need extra help sometimes. So let's rise up, embrace the concept. As Reverend Al Sharpton said "the opposite of woke is asleep!" .....
Remember, a candle that lights other candles is never diminished, it shares the light to make a brighter world.
Powerfully said, Alicia. Joy, ignoring and Mocking them are all effective tools. McBride had to chose ignoring — but that doesn’t mean the rest of us can’t mock the shit out of Mace.
McBride has my undying admiration for choosing to bypass the bathroom brouhaha controversy by her statement. She’s there to work not be caught up in Mace’s petty bullshit wars.
Nancy Mace and Margie Three-Toes are the most disgusting of humanoids. Jasmine Crockett has a fine idea about the port-a-potty. One big enough to drown her disgusting ass in! Those two nasty harpies need to learn to mind their own fucking business.
Just had an image of the white women of the Christian Right.
As those that do not support racism, bigotry, greed fight against the evil white men using their false beliefs of hate, just like Taliban women, the white women of their tribe come from behind and shoot or knife you in the back.
You have to be getting so tired of all the people who want to make a hole so they can say that they are so wonderfully gifted and super professional about filling it.
There is no “hole” here except the one that Mace is digging.
(Ok. Well there is but we won’t talk about that one.)
Everyone on earth grew up surrounded by LGBT+++ people and never knew it until someone being cute pointed it all out to them. And then, someone at church told them that they should be offended. And here we go making a problem where there never was one and will never be one except for all those people who have never, NEVER, seen a naked body or heard about sex.
Poor Mace who apparently is very very bad at making friends should join the Military where people focus on their jobs and defending their nation instead of being paranoid about what sexual preference their bunk mates have.
In the military, it is all about maintaining professional behavior. No one cares what toilet you use, just use it and move on so someone else can. All the rest is nonsense.
Amen, sis.

To avoid the prophesy, wake up, unite, resist.
"Fiery, outspoken Democrats like Jasmine Crockett and AOC"... and Alicia Norman!
Good to have you back - your words are sanity in a crazy time.
Good to be back, Steve--the insanity is overwhelming right now, so I just gotta write. And thank you *hugs*
Will Mike Johnson enjoy having a woman there while he uses the urinal? He claims she's a man so he can't object to that.
Good question.
Reminds me of the scene in Bachelor Party "She-Tim" flipped the toilet seat up, hiked up his dress, and took a leak standing up. I'm sure MAGA Mike's gonna get a chubby and his porn alert on his phone will go off.
Pardon me but doesn’t Mike Johnson use a little girl’s room?
Do not mean to insult little girls.

‘ Being "woke" is not a negative thing, it's being sensitive and mindful of the rights of others.’
And being aware of the true history of this country and not the fictional, glorious bullshit and lies.

Thank you for such a humane post. We will need every voice we can get in the coming years.
McBride has my undying admiration for choosing to bypass the bathroom brouhaha controversy by her statement. She’s there to work not be caught up in Mace’s petty bullshit wars.

Agree. I was surprised to see she was taking some heat for that.
Indeed--it took a lot of strength for her to do that.
As do i. Mrs. McBride's gonna do amazing things.
I agree--she will show them up, and that is what they fear most.
they're all right in being afraid because they deserve everything coming to them. xenophobia has no place in ANY society whatsoever.
100 percent!
Consider me an ally and know that I will put myself in harms way to defend you any way I can. F those effen bullies! Xoxo 💋
Thinking of Abraham Lincoln with a prodding poem by Lisa Jensen:
Did he love with longing
Trying to consume his darkness
With a light of compassion
A light for most
That brightens one’s space
But often seems devoid
Of any warming heat
Interesting choice--thanks, Jim.
I’m done licking my wounds
As the salty blood of grievance
Provides little nourishment
I just realized that Nancy Mace reminds me of Anita Bryant. Someone should chuck a cream pie in her face too.
LOL!
