I talk about politics, academia, LGBTQ rights and other social justice issues. Occasionally sports. Law student in Wisconsin. I do not have patience for centrists and nihilists. We deserve good things. We don't have to settle.

I feel bad for Freddy 😢 but oh so ecstatic for this Brewers team. Can't believe we might do this. And I get to be at Am Fam tomorrow for the potential sweep!

I had Hong canvasers come to my door twice b4 primaries. I've had like 4 Tiffany canvasers come before the general so far. @davidcrowley4wi.bsky.social? 0. Ever. He told me I and other young people need to do more in politics, but we're out knocking doors and he can't get support to do the minimum

I really don't want Tiffany as Wisconsin governor. But I'm really really worried Crowley's going to lose this because he treats his base with such contempt and smugness. He and the Dems would rather appeal to MAGA & the gop than listen to or deliver for anyone moderately progressive in their base.

He won a primary by .2% after getting dragged over the finish line by tech donors, Governor Evers, and a late blitz of racist ads against Hong. But he acts like he won by 40% plus. We deserve so much better. And if he does lose he'll blame progressives despite telling me he didn't need my vote.

If "allies" who incessantly tell trans people and people of color they're obligated to vote for Dems who toss their rights to the side spent just 5% of that energy on telling the Dems to develop some moral conviction and stop being duplicitous, our country would be a much better place.

David Crowley says he's uninformed about any of the policies that 39% of his base voted for in a primary election he won with just 39% of the vote. He's so bloody smug. And I refuse to believe he knows nothing about Hong's data center stance. I cannot stomach voting for this guy.

@davidcrowley4wi.bsky.social told me last week that young people don't engage in politics enough, so that's why he can do nothing to earn the vote of Hong supporters. Apparently protests, marching an hour to vote, knocking doors and phone banking ain't enough. capitalbnews.org/hbcu-student...

Young people have known nothing but MAGA and Trump their entire lives. When they ask for the Democratic party and people like @davidcrowley4wi.bsky.social to do something, they talk down to us and obfuscate their actual positions and work. They want our votes but won't do anything to earn them.

Look. Replacing a Scaramucci with a Zachariah is good and all, but I just want to state again the underlying misogyny that women are the only people he ever fires and they are held to higher standards (not high, but still) than all of the men i.e. Kegbreath, Patel, Bessent, etc.

The level of hate that David Crowley has for Hong voters and the patronization he just showed in the event he did at Marquette is really stunning to me. I wasn't expecting much, but good grief. You didn't even win 40% of the vote. Why care more about Republicans and Independents than your base??

Jackson and Ossoff really are embarrassing them, aren't they? Is there a reason Dem leadership and the media in general don't do this every single day with all of the maga sycophants?

They told me Yamamoto was unbeatable. They told me Henderson wasn't worth keeping and we should have traded him for Skubal. Well. What are we thinking right now??

I once thought Republicans would never actually overturn Roe because that was their most effective tool to turn out the vote. Never would have thought they'd try to make trans people fill that void.

See. The problem with Democrats who don't actually have their own moral convictions, is that they can't respond to shit like this without looking as duplicitous as their republican counterpart.

I just. The American inability to comprehend socialism/communism is shocking in general. But in what world does gender segregated sports even begin to come to mind wrt socialism?? I'm told the failed drag queen here is smart, but this defies all logic.

Q: How do you define socialism personally? JD VANCE: I think in reality what it actually means in the American context is you want to replace American workers with foreigners workers, and you want boys to play in girls' sports

Okay. I said bad things about Mitchell the last few games. But boy oh boy has he been good tonight. Let's go Brew Crew! 1 more inning!!

The best part is that it never even crossed Schmitt's mind that someone would go to a women's sporting event because they don't view women's sports with any respect whatsoever.

Maybe this is made up in my mind, but I feel like the X guy is responsible for so many people (predominantly men) using the R slur regularly nowadays.

They include English in this, but idk, I made pretty good money as an English grad. Also, earning potential is the worst reason to choose a major. Also, you'd think maga & conservatives would get tired of the nanny state oversight of every choice in their lives, but alas.

Trump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music will be hit the hardest. trib.al/kQdKbY1

In addition to my being upset that we all pay for these completely pointless, onanistic ads, I also find it preposterous to compile all of these sound bites together as if this man could ever string a sentence that long together at any point in his life, let alone now, as a demented duck.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

absolutely demented. like a scene from a horror movie

Ahahaha I love how every company keeps making their own products more and more hideous to use while raising prices. Their whole philosophy is "how bad can we make something and they still will pay us?" Amazing. Yay capitalism. You fucking did it

I feel like everyone has been sufficiently upset with Manning joking about violence against the incomparable Holly Rowe, but we really shouldn't let all the men in the room who laughed off the hook. Holly is an incredible reporter, person, and women's icon. The misogyny all around is disgusting.

I always knew Kash's eyes hid some sort of deep trauma. Turns out he was violated by an animal at some point. Kash has animals. JD has couches. These people, man.

Kash Patel: "Applicants who have engaged in beastiliaty means they were victims of beastility because they were forced to do so. At this FBI we are not going to criminalize and prevent victims from serving."

Or as AOC put it, we are the consequence. Let's make sure they face it.

Ossoff: "We are witnessing people drunk with power who are utterly reckless, utterly corrupt, and obviously believe that they live with impunity. They believe they're untouchable. They believe they're invincible. Let's prove them wrong."

I missed Moms For Liberty endorsing Max Miller, the alleged child and wife abuser, as a representative of their family values. MAGA is an anti-family, death cult, and that's in addition to be unconscionably weird, and chock full of the dumbest people you know.

We're supposed to believe that the only way this national monument can be safe, non-hazardous, and profitable, is if it bears the orange man's name. I don't think we talk enough about how insulting this regime is to the intelligence of all Americans. He likes stupid people, and thinks we all are.
