WHY AM I VOTING STRAIGHT DEMOCRAT? Not because I'm a Democrat. Not because I'm a liberal. Because every Republican on my ballot, and your ballot, is a Trump enabler. Trump can't exist without these guys. They make Trump who he is. They have to go. All of them. Clean sweep. VOTE THEM ALL OUT!

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.

Do you want to see the most cursed photo of all time?

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.

That’s also why Vivek isn’t exactly lying when he says he didn’t mean to say Acton lied about being raped as a child. He doesn’t think she lied; he thinks that being raped disqualifies her from office, because she belongs to the class of people power is wielded against, not the class that wields it.

Whether it's Republicans not being allowed within 200 feet of a Chuck E. Cheese or Democrats making jokes about a Cheesecake Factory, both side have a fraught relationship with chain restaurants.

Wanna know why the youth movement in Serbia won when they were supposed to be behind? Bc they literally went door knocking at every single home in Serbia, speaking to folks, changing hearts and minds. Also helps: they’re a big tent, largely decentralized and not united around 1 charismatic leader.

NEW: A Florida cybersecurity company promised to help clients recover data from ransomware attackers. In a 2019 story, we found the company was making secret payments to hackers and pocketing hefty fees from clients. The CEO was just indicted for fraud.

That this is in THE WASHINGTON POST is almost too much irony to bear.

The Ramaswamy ad has pushed the largest newspaper in Ohio, the Cleveland Plain Dealer, to reverse its position on endorsements. "A candidate who uses childhood sexual abuse as a weapon against the person who endured it has crossed a line that Ohioans should defend, whatever their party."

Meta's $10 Billion data center in Indiana produced 300 permanent jobs That's $33 million per job In a typical manufacturing plant, a similar investment would create at least 300,000 jobs Data centers benefit wealthy investors, not communities

Wonder if there's something to look into here with the NYU of it all. His gigantic son goes to that school, which doesn't make much sense, considering what NYU is and what he is. Why?

Jon Husted voted against the release of the Epstein files just weeks after receiving a maximum campaign contribution from an Epstein co-conspirator. Ohioans deserve strong leaders in Washington, not pedophile protectors.

Trans people are fighting to keep rights they had ten years ago—in 2016. It is not the same as fighting for rights in the first instance. So please I beg of you, knock it off with this “purity test” horseshit.

For those of you who have never heard of Shiva Ayyadurai, this lawsuit is the just the tip of the iceberg. Dude is definitely in the running for the most unhinged guy on the far right.

After several years of calling anyone they dislike a pedophile or a groomer, the GOP has discovered that it can be done to them too, and the chairman of the Ohio Republican party is not happy about it

NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report. Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.

the contrast between seeing US democrats fall over themselves to embrace idiot transphobia all year and tonight seeing footage of the president embracing my (trans) congresswoman, Erika Hilton, at the election night party

Trump Asks Nicki Minaj To Explain Eating Ass https://theonion.com/trump-asks-nicki-minaj-to-explain-eating-ass/

This was published in the Beaumont Journal (Texas) on 27 October 1978, reporting on an incident which had taken place the day before, so happy impolite cat causes death day to all who celebrate

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Bolsonaro had corrupt media on his side, Meta interference on his side, US propaganda operations, and his party's officials actively sabotaging public transport in Lula strongholds to prevent turnout. Yet he was still beaten by the power of voter turnout.

A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

Becca Lewis' thesis "Tech's right turn : the rise of reactionary politics in Silicon Valley and online" is our of embargo today! purl.stanford.edu/mn544hj9083

yup.

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.

This is garbage. It's very easy to say: "My opponent is a creep who wants to inspect your children's genitalia. I think government should mind its own fucking business." Makes me sick that Turek doesn't have the guts or the interest in fighting for the underdogs here.

An email I just sent @joshturek4iowa.bsky.social, asking for a refund of the money I donated. If you've donated money to Turek and want it back, feel free to swipe my (admittedly very boring) wording.

When Democrats do well this fall, we’re going to see a lot of “strategists” trying to take credit for their approach. The trans panic people have been nothing but a drag on Democratic momentum and they need to fuck off into the sun

Well, that was certainly something. #AngieForFlorida

Trump is straight up saying during speeches that he wants white people coming to the country but not black. I don’t know what else people need to see.

Trump admin arrests Colorado priest. Incarcerates him for over a year. Judge orders him released without charges. They release him without the wheelchair he needs -- other prisoners have to bodily carry him out. He's now being tested for latent TB: www.newsfromthestates.com/article/colo...

"Trans people are a tiny group with no power" This isn't true, and I hope my trans readers can internalize this. You are more powerful than you think. Trans and gender expansive people are 2.34% of the US population in the latest survey. That is more than enough to swing a race.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was driving his construction crew to work when an ICE officer shot and killed him in Houston. He wasn’t even the person ICE was looking for. Now Texas voters are leaving their “I Voted” stickers at his memorial. #BlueWaveIn10Days

They called the cops on this 3-year-old Black boy because he was kickin the white kids' ass on the soccer field.

In all the liberal handwringing about harm reduction and the march toward equality taking a long time, never once is it acknowledged that Dems running on "no biological men" messaging is everything the anti-trans right has been working toward for years. It's adding to their big tent.

Karma found a fitting punishment (marriage to Stephen Miller) for this person who drives a car despite knowing she's not competent to do so. Let it be a warning to others.

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.

Apparently, some Houston voters are putting their I Voted stickers on the Lorenzo Salgado Araujo memorial. Stephen Miller is ALREADY trying to scapegoat others for losing whatever races they lose in Texas and elsewhere. This is a vivid testament that for some voters, his murder squad is the reason.
