Ilhan Omar spent four years in a refugee camp and ended up becoming a Congresswoman. She represents the best of America, while Donald Trump represents the worst.

A recent survey found that 92% of U.S. adults have delayed or avoided medical care due to high costs. Meanwhile, a new study from Yale estimates that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and $1 trillion a year. If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have universal healthcare.

And for this complaint to come from Bret Stephens -- who only has a cushy columnist gig at the New York Times because of their desire to be politically diverse and inclusive -- is fucking hilarious. You're the DEI hire, my man. You.

If I were emperor for a day, one change I'd make: In every political race, at every level, at least the *first* debate would be replaced by a simple test of knowledge. How do taxes work? What agency is responsible for what? Is your area growing or shrinking in population? Just basic stuff.

This is not a 'masculinity crisis', it's a misogyny crisis. This is not a problem with 'masculinity'-- millions of men model positive masculinity every day. This is a problem of male violence. Stop calling it 'masculinity'. www.theguardian.com/education/20...

The right-wing organizing around the Lindsay Clancy trial is growing and it’s frightening. A lot of people overlook these culture wars revolving around women’s issues, because, well, they’re women’s issues. But the right doesn’t. It’s how they regained such a massive cultural foothold.

If you still support Trump and his administration, we don’t have political differences — we have moral ones. Because racism, hatred, and incitement are not opinions. They are a character test. And you are failing it.

I will go door to door to get out the vote for Gavin Newsom if he’s the nominee, a man I have hated since he hit on my girlfriend while he was running for mayor of San Francisco. Nothing matters more than keeping Republicans out of power.

The excesses of the left lead to performativity. The excesses of the right lead to death.

Michael Hobbes@michaelhobbes.bsky.social

“Silly” is a good way to put it! There were excesses in 2020 but they were mostly low-stakes efforts by well-intentioned people to address real injustices. The excesses of the right during the same era were far more harmful. The reckoning we need now is about how elites lost sight of that.

Nobody understands Trump better than women who have been trapped in abusive relationships with narcissistic men. Too bad political & media elites are overwhelmingly composed of men who admire and/or share these characteristics & thus can not see them for what they are.

Officers shooting a man, running away from law enforcement, who is not a target of law enforcement, and who poses no threat to law enforcement, is murder. Federal officers do not have the power to commit summary executions because they are aggrieved.

I’ll write more later, but this is the defining Lindsey Graham moment for me. Screaming into a mic to defend a Republican Supreme Court nominee against allegations of sexual assault, all in the hopes that Mister Trump would watch on TV and tweet something nice about him. That’s Graham’s legacy.

Cristian Farias@cristianfarias.com

I don’t remember if Lindsey Graham or Brett Kavanaugh melted down first, but their back-to-back, angry outbursts are part of the reason Donald Trump didn’t pull the nomination after Christine Blasey Ford came forward.

bobbin.bsky.social reposted

The NYT obituary of Lindsey Graham makes no mention of his effort to overturn the 2020 election by calling Georgia’s secretary of state to intimidate him into manufacturing votes for Trump. The Times, like all news media, is GOP propaganda erasing Republicans’ history as election deniers

How fortunate for him that he had weeks-months-of paid leave-along with deluxe healthcare coverage-provided to him by the taxpayers. Wouldn’t it be great if everyone suffering from depression had these luxuries?
