the handful of die-hard anti-trans voters that exist are going to vote GOP no matter what. so this ad will not pick up a single new voter. all it does is further disenfranchise trans ppl – a marginalized group MAGA hates. this is a pro-MAGA ad & Turek is furthering MAGA's cause by airing it
Josh Turek of Iowa, Democrat, comes out with one of the worst anti-trans ads yet. Not only is it an anti-sports ad, it proposes a ban on federal funding for gender affirming care. That would hit all medicaid and medicare patients, and any ACA federally-subsidized plans as well. Horrific.

What other culture war topics does @joshturek4iowa.bsky.social agree with maga about? If he’s this virulently anti-trans, what other topics does he align with Trump world about

This is straight Klan stuff. He's talking like a badly xeroxed neo-Nazi flyer someone stuffed in your mailbox back in 1975.
Trump: "Somalia -- 98% of the people here now from Somalia don't work. They don't have to work because they steal so much. They all have a Mercedes Benz. Low IQ and they live better than you do."

The level of hatred and harassment that Trump is directing at Ilhan Omar is appalling. He's inciting some disturbed person to commit violence against her. The entire Republican Party already has blood on its hands, and it's eager for more.
a spectacle of fascism as Trump demands Ilhan Omar resign and says Democrats have conceded her seat, and the 20-something dude bros behind him leap up and start cheering

It continues to be insane that the mainstream Liberal Zionist definition of apartheid in the US is one that wouldn't apply to South Africa.
By this logic, Jim Crow in the American South was no big deal, because in other parts of the US at the time, Black Americans could vote. I don’t think someone this well educated and intelligent really believes that.

Vance says he's "disgusted" with the Ohio race. To be clear, he's not "disgusted" Ramaswamy is siding with a woman who let her husband rape her 12-year-old daughter and pushing a lie so bad even National Review called him out. No, no. He's "disgusted" that some Republicans objected to the ad.
WOW -- Vance *defends* Vivek's reprehensible ad 👇 Q: Ramaswamy's campaign put out a controversial ad featuring his opponent's mother. Some Republicans are backing away. Do you think it was appropriate? JD VANCE: Well, I'll be honest. Whether the ad was appropriate or not is not really my concern.

like vance, ramaswamy is a hateful, resentful orc of a human being, and the reason i think this will hurt him politically — where this stuff didn’t hurt trump — is that ramaswamy, like vance, is also profoundly unlikeable. he has no charm or charisma or anything. just a dipshit.
Unearthed footage of Vivek Ramaswamy mocking Amy Acton for being a survivor of childhood abuse: "She has no vision other than to complain about what someone else did to her"

How did you find out the young man’s identity, @wsj.com? hmm?
A young man asked Abdul-El Sayed if he would disavow the Muslim Brotherhood. The tense exchange has turned into a highlight for the Democratic Senate candidate in Michigan. Here’s what happened.

Trump-friendly oligarchs are buying up major media with the regime's help. They control CNN, CBS, Fox, TikTok, Meta, X and major local TV chains. Yet Mike Johnson is still claiming liberal bias. The real media conspiracy is the corporate consensus to normalize Johnson and other right-wing radicals.
Mike Johnson offers a conspiracy theory to explain away his party's dire polling: "I believe there's a concerted effort between Democrats and the mainstream media that's openly biased in their favor to discourage the Republican side"

No, she’ll comment on it to boost the Screams Without Words bullshit her employer was pushing. Also a fun thing you can do is go to twitter and put “from:janecoaston @jessesingal” into the search bar. Enjoy years of playful banter with one of the weirdest transphobic shitheads of all time!
coaston has always been a favorite of mine for the last few years because she has this compulsion to comment on literally every news story unless it involves a certain conflict in the middle east

Dems volunteer to go on defense - not offense - then refuse to defend human rights, humans and even themselves!!! They're counseled to shit talk their own party while they know most voters are low info & thus vote on...hatred of status quo, which they blame on party in power.

I don’t have any idea what the solution to the bigger problem for literature is, but it strikes me as completely outrageous that the Atlantic would level such a serious charge against an author without an iota of actual evidence. And no, a black box analysis by another AI program is not evidence.
