Completely mad Rob. I remember when in Israel I was lectured about the chosen people, how the land was theirs, "tough shit" I was told, "this is what happens in war". Zero empathy at a demolition of a Palestinian home in which I was horrified The Palestinians have rocks, the Israelis have nukes!

As a born-and-raised Kentuckian, it’s an honor to have accumulated such strong support at home, especially from my former colleagues in the State Legislature. Once I’m elected, I pledge to do everything in my power to make them proud and finally deliver for the people of Kentucky.

what does it say about the national party that there are candidates running on the dem ticket buying ads saying that some people are technically subhuman without reprimand or even comment. would you abide that for any other group or is this one special

this is honestly invigorating—maybe because the US far right has been on the rise most of my life, maybe because it suggests why the far right being unpopular is not enough. mostly: because it gives us something we can do

Tarik Abou-Chadi@tabouchadi.bsky.social

Many comments on the great election victories in Brazil and Serbia state that the authorian right is in decline or that voters have rejected far-right authoritarianism. That is a wrong interpretation of what happened. Progressive movements mobilized and beat the authoritarian right. That's different

@nytimes.com? @nbcnews.com? @washingtonpost.com @cbsnews.com.web.brid.gy (lol, like the POST or CBS would report on their hero, LOL). @postguild.bsky.social @inquirer.com @abcnewsdesk.bsky.social where y'all at? Suddenly presidential rape isn't a story? LOL, wipe the Trump cum off your chins, simps.

1. Not sure when a new, on-the-record rape allegation against a sitting president isn’t considered news — especially considering Trump was found liable by a jury in a similar case — but it was ignored by most mainstream media outlets

Gina Hinojosa entered politic because she saw her son’s school closed & wanted to fight back. I know if she’s elected to the governor’s mansion, she’ll fight to make sure very child in Texas has a strong public school education so they can soar. @ginafortexas.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/aft....

who should be the mayor of LA is not an academic question. it is a real one that will determine the lives of people who will live under the power of that mayor. There are Angelenos who's lives will be literally thrown in a garbage can and burned if karen bass wins.

Look, I know all the reasons we got here, but we really need to start seriously thinking about what we do in a world where The Markets punish whole countries for voting for decency, compassion, and fairness. We must stop pretending the capitalist machine is an objective, value neutral force.

Lewis Wade 🗃️@wadehistory.bsky.social

It's very, very telling, I think, that the markets are so concerned about the pro-democracy incumbent winning

Major press failure: treating Jared Kushner taking foreign bribes and shaping US foreign policy as less relevant than Hunter Biden not taking bribes nor influencing policy. Covering Kushner accurately was considered partisan, biased. Lies about Hunter or his minor actions treated as more important.

Jon Husted voted against the release of the Epstein files just weeks after receiving a maximum campaign contribution from an Epstein co-conspirator. Ohioans deserve strong leaders in Washington, not pedophile protectors.

The vile attacks on Amy Acton need to be seen in the context of a party that *needs* people to believe women fabricating sexual assaults is common as rainwater. Because it’s pretty much the only way to evade the conclusion that the president is a rapist.

Marisa Kabas@marisakabas.bsky.social

Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...
