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...

This one's up there but speaking from experience, the LP gets a few hundred or so people on the ballot nationwide every cycle, and one or more of them doing something bizarrely insane and/or tragic and/or criminal happens at... a higher rate than the general population, I'll put it that way.
"libertarian candidate for state senate in north carolina is currently in a shootout with the cops and live-tweeting his planned suicide", while not exactly surprising, is still a weird thing to read

And having said (& meant) that, I'm tired of framing the protection & defense of any vulnerable group (trans ppl, immigrants, Muslims) as "the moment you compromise the rights of [GROUP], you compromise the rights of every citizen" because damn can we value & defend their humanity for its own sake?
Nevermind, I was correct. Bourne definitely IS a trilogy and those other two films are merely bad dreams that surely don’t exist in the real world.
Do you ever find out something that alters your perception of reality? Today it was discovering there are FIVE Bourne movies when I could have sworn it was only a trilogy.

There's nuance here about "how do we use platforms owned by the fascists". You *have to understand the political purpose of the platforms* in order to use them to subvert authoritarians. For the most part, Americans simply do not. Centrists (including DNC consultants) do not. Major media does not.
Key lessons from Brazil Amplify our people. Ignore the opposition. Use the tools owned by fascists to defeat the fascists? Meet the people where they are. May need to reconsider my staunch position of boycotting Meta for the reason. Thoughts?
This is why Bluesky is GOOD and perhaps even necessary (at least in terms of online mobilization/information sharing) and more Democratic/anti-fascist politicians should embrace the platform as is.
I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

I know bascially nothing about NFL stats but I’ve become such an aware Butker hater and am exposed to enough football games each season that I guessed this was the case and declared it to be true BEFORE seeing this official confirmation lmao
Harrison Butker's 15 missed kicks (10 FGs, 5 PATs) since start of last season are the most in NFL.
