“I’m voting for the party in power because I’m frustrated about where things are headed” is wild stuff.

Fusion power has overtaken fission power!

I don’t think this is exactly what’s going on, or all that’s going on. It’s not that Republicans are constructing an elaborate psychological defense against evidence that Trump is a rapist. It’s that they like that he’s a rapist, and they like rape: it enacts the power of the strong over the weak.

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...

there are people serving life sentences right now on thinner evidence than we have for "donald trump was jeffrey epstein's partner in serial rape" democrats-judiciary.house.gov/media-center...

The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.

i'd love to know what was going on at the biden department of justice for four years

Kind of funny, in an Ancient Greek Hell kind of way, that this guy handed Trump the presidency in 2016, and as a reward Trump is kicking him in the teeth forever. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

the biggest presidential scandal in history but the political media largely acts as if it's not happening. hasan piker has received more mainstream political media coverage over the last 6 months than trump's connections with epstein has

Brazil going the way of South Korea. Basically around the world women are desperately trying to keep power out of the hands of incredibly stupid fascistic grifters while men keep trying to hand it over. Men are an embarrassing cringe gender.

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

ICE VIOLENTLY BEAT A FATHER IN FRONT OF HIS 1 YEAR OLD CHILD. Please repost this every 🔊 bsky.app/profile/resi...

holy crap

“The internet is a store but it used to be a library” hits me like a slug to the chest

Today is Sextidi the 26th of Vendémiaire in the year 235. Vendémiaire is the month of vintage. Today we celebrate eggplants. #JacobinDay See today's page

Not that it really matters but lol at the final 3 MLB teams being Milwaukee, Cleveland and Tampa Bay going into an off-season where the corporate media will deluge fans with "the owners have to do a lockout so small markets can compete!" propaganda.

If there’s one photo to sum up the Trump era, this is it.

One more interesting point: this spring I sat down with Sharyn Alfonsi of 60 Minutes for an extensive interview about my Epstein investigation. Subsequently, CBS pulled the segment and fired the reporter. The MAGA buyout of media has unquestionably aided the Trump administration’s cover up here.

“If this was true, I would be in jail” is not a real profession of innocence; it is a brag about how strenuously the state protects the male right of private sphere violence against women and children.

This photo of Gretchen Whitmer is one of the single most powerful symbolic depictions of the contemporary Democratic Party leadership. Decking yourself out in blue as if you're different, while cooperating with Trump and pretending not to, says it all.

It's literally incredible that no one talks about the Democratic Party being so broke that they're asking for bills to be sent after the Midterms and no one wants to connect the dots and talk about why the base isn't donating and the correlation to the consultant class feeding like ticks.

10) If you're a guy I can almost all-but-guarantee you don't say "I love you" to the close family members in your life enough. I didn't! Started doing it without warning a few years ago and now all my family ends our calls that way and it just feels better in a way I never expected.

the centrist wing of the democratic party tied shallow identity politics - purely in symbolism not material concerns for marginalized groups - to the most toxic brand of milquetoast politics. then, their consultants tried to blame "activist groups" for ruining their image by "making demands"

I took a hard look at the financial donors to ICE’s biggest supporters in Congress. These are people who want to significantly expand ICE’s power and have sponsored or co-sponsored legislation to do so. Here are the top 25 consumer brands bankrolling the biggest ICE supporters in Congress:

Beautiful woman just told me the only podcast she listens to is Joe Rogan :/

Like, thematically, Nolan is using the Odyssey to almost speak *as* 'western civilization' and then what he says is, "you men (very much *men*), with your violent inhospitality, your greed and appetites are what has destroyed civilization by breaking the bonds between people."

This Day in Labor History: July 16, 1931. A white mob murdered the black sharecropper organizer Ralph Gray in Tallapoosa County, Alabama. Let's talk about communist organizing in rural Alabama and the white violence used to crush it!

Will any of the obituaries mention that he was obviously closeted?

Monday ice update - #Arctic sea ice extent is currently the 4th lowest on record (JAXA data) • about 270,000 km² below the 2010s mean • about 1,080,000 km² below the 2000s mean • about 1,820,000 km² below the 1990s mean • about 2,520,000 km² below the 1980s mean More: zacklabe.com/arctic-sea-i...

DC's exhibit looks like it was done under duress. Like the National Guard trained their guns on the designers and were like "MAKE SOMETHING" And the designers were like "um....DC's original music is Go-Go! Let them scribble on the walls! Oh God, please don't hurt me I have kids!!" 6/10

I saw 'Supergirl' this week. A couple of minor issues for me but all in all I very much enjoyed it. All the hate directed at it is definitely rooted in misogyny. I recommend this movie.

Feeling for him right now

First I’m hearing that the DNC has resources, volunteers, and infrastructure

Conservatism has defined itself in such a way that if a conservative were truly to become an artist they would of necessity no longer be conservative; it's an ideology opposed to humanity itself so it is disengaged from human art. This is why even to the degree they enjoy art they misunderstand it.

Wait, it’s all gender? ^ 🌎👨‍🚀🔫👩‍🚀>Always has been.

u never see this on a tradlife mood board

If they’re “_supposed_ to operate without outside political pressure” then it seems to me that the public has an extra big interest in knowing that they’re not!

The choice to pick on university students is pathetic and laughable for many reasons but not least because they weren't even alive when the people behind the Bulwark were arguing that 9-11 required a vast expansion of executive power and curbs on civil liberties

SNL UK is absolutely putting its American counterpart to shame dear lord

15% of Texas Democrats say they would sit out the Senate race if the Democratic candidate is just as supportive of Israel as the Republican is.
