somebody just needs to tell them a Black Harvard professor was involved

Homepage of the @miamiherald.com with story by @jkbjournalist.bsky.social that mentions rape in the first paragraph. See, it's not so fucking hard. www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-...

I think we underestimate the appeal of antigambling politics because every problem gambler is surrounded by 3-10 people who are absolutely sick of their shit.

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

It’s just so appalling and enraging how casual and commonplace this has become. I’m out of words.

i know legacy media people follow me.

you can msg me on signal or email if you don’t want to hash it out here. but i need to know.

i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.

I've already seen some effort to bury this as "there's not a lot new here." As if, "What's one more rape victim?" is sound editorial judgment. Republicans kept the Benghazi story going for years on nothing new, but that didn't stop to press from covering every nothing burger they served up.

I keep hoping that we’ve finally reached Peak motherfuckers trying to ice skate uphill, but we never do

Zionism 101: Nazism makes Jews safe

i wonder if these two things are connected.

House Judiciary Democrats have just released a 50-page report that pulls together years of assault allegations against Trump and his reported connections to Jeffrey Epstein. The report calls for a special counsel to investigate Trump's ties to Epstein.

Please stop sharing Kalshi and Polymarket shit.

Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights: “I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself”

I’m second to none in backing Obama but I’ll never understand how one of the politicians who has provoked the most emotion in American history always goes into a “let’s be logical” mode. No. Let people have their feelings and let it motivate them to action.

No, Freedom Summer volunteers didn't take selfies or post tweets -- because that technology hadn't been invented yet. But when they were getting trained in Ohio before going down, they were *all over* the media of their day. Here's a paragraph on it (since cut from my book for space constraints)

I can’t imagine being this kind of loser, on purpose and in full view of others.

🚨 WILLIAMSON COUNTY: Reports of Tennessee voting machines flipping Democratic/ @jerrigreen4tn.bsky.social votes to Republicans/@marshablackburn votes 🤔 (Folks in Memphis have said the same)

Not ideal when you can crack open the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders and find that every member of the administration is in there somewhere.

the love and the support for the handbasket this week has lifted me up so much, but today something triggered me and i was reminded i’m still working with a broken heart. it’s very hard to balance the satisfaction of being back in the work game while still feeling really sad.

Lake Superior Academy is a beautiful school that had offered an incredible outdoor learning experience — that is until this Bitcoin mining farm moved in…

You know, Elon, if you just paid your taxes, we could give those kids food and healthcare, things far more valuable than stock in a government-welfare-dependent company that is bound to go bankrupt eventually.

How did you find out the young man’s identity, @wsj.com? hmm?

“i pay tax before, but still pay tax now?” We spoke with dozens of half-literate morons about the machinations of local governance. Here’s what they’re saying.

it is the same exact thing as demanding that black candidates for office “disavow farrakhan,” which happened quite a bit in the 90s and 2000s

I’m really fortunate that despite a lot of economic headwinds, The Handbasket paid subscriptions have remained steady. But in order to grow and take on more ambitious projects, I need to keep growing. Help me fight billionaire-backed media with a paid subscription: www.thehandbasket.co/upgrade

He had me until the last sentence. One of the reasons we're in this mess is because Dems didn't push for warranted investigations of actual crimes during Biden's administration. The idea a Dem president would do anything approaching what's happening to Omar is laughable.

the people responding to this defensively are nuts. i’m talking about a critical mass of democrats to make it clear that they’ll put themselves on the line to protect congresswoman omar. im glad there have been some strongly worded statements but there needs to be action.

Sorry but Gluesenkamp sucks. She’s basically a maga vote at this point.

I have never seen coverage of a live trial, one involving allegations of multiple sex attacks on multiple women, framed in a more distasteful way. It's not 'Fame under fire' it's a rape trial. And it involves actual women. And this from the *checks notes* BBC

BRETT KAVANAUGH: "Can you explain exactly how the consent would work?" Just saying... if *I* were Brett Kavanaugh, *I* WOULDN'T ASK A QUESTION SHOWING THAT I WAS CONFUSED HOW CONSENT WORKS! But maybe that's just me.

the belief among a wide swath of politicians and commentators that trump’s “they/them” ad won him the election has resulted in a bunch of people making very stupid choices about how to spend money and win support

Hard not to notice that Democrats who are doing the best are the ones who are leaving this whole civility-and-norms, we-go-high, we-need-a-strong-Republican-Party bullshit behind and are simply giving Republicans exactly what they all ought to get at all times, which is undisguised contempt.

Absolutely stunning that in the NYT’s latest major story on Elon Musk single-handedly trying to save the GOP there is NOT ONE WORD about how he is the world’s most vocal white supremacist and advocate of ethnic cleansing.

statler and waldorf but it’s al-sayed and ossoff heckling republicans

The Guardian is now a microcosm of Britain itself: a tiny clique of utterly repellent elite class freaks who hate and fear their employees, resorting to ever dirtier tactics to retain their status and clout.

This is Nazi rhetoric, full stop. It's not only a call to instigate a race war in the United States, but it's reminiscent of historic European justifications used to incite pogroms against Jews. People who say things like this are incredibly dangerous, as there is nothing they won't eventually do.

Oh fuck yes

“If you don’t like public executions just don’t watch it” says the crowd trying to ban drag shows and books

EVERY BATHROOM IN YOUR HOUSE IS UNISEX YOU FUCKING WEIRDOS

honestly (and i know this is tmi but im hot under the collar): im not even this level of obsessed about my own genitals unless there was something medically wrong. these ppl spend every waking moment of their lives thinking about penises and vaginas in a way that would have the porn industry puzzled

Here we go. This is the mild, cutesy stuff where we introduce this guy as a quirky wacko. We’ll now go up through the gears to maximum intensity, however long it takes to get the job done.

the democrats, especially senate democrats, are really just the dumbest republicans are trying to preside over the end of america and you're like "we can still work with them" shut the fuck up
