The most important tasks before us are to reduce suffering and to encourage thriving

It will require @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social to do more than wag fingers, write strongly worded letters, and shrug shoulders
If Brazil can reject Trump, the Broligarchs and right-wing authoritarianism, so can we.

Christianity is nothing more than an excuse to sexually assault children
Allow me to illustrate Once you rhetorically concede that the Republicans are right that this is a legitimate problem that needed legislative action to solve, you have conceded the frame and when you do that...you are on a direct, icy, downhill course to this: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
Don't fluff this asshole Let's take note of the rest of what he said; that he wants us identified and prevented from participating fully in society Christianity is one of the worst things to ever happen to humanity. It's a perversion and a celebration of evil.
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 will never see justice for what the Catholic Church did to me for decades. It is the world's largest and oldest continuously operated criminal enterprise. And I will never see justice
The Archdiocese of New York and attorneys for about 1,300 parishioners who say they were sexually abused by clergy have agreed to an $800 million settlement of their legal claims.
This is a stupid take If Turek wins, the party Henry is hoping to scrub will argue that the only reason why he won was because he was the kind of fascist that people like. No. Every last Vichy Democrat must be removed and denied any fertile ground. They want to be child-abusing Republicans? GTFO
I'm just gonna chime in and say it's notable that his opponent is a rape apologist, and a pedophile supporter. Turek is trash, but certainly make clear that as we fight fascists, some choices may not be perfect. Turek is a piece of shit, ashley hinson is far worse. Scrub nation, then party. ✌🏼

How will @schumer.senate.gov thread the needle? On the one hand, he has no control of his caucus and they will want blood. On the other hand, he is incapable of criticizing Likud. On the third hand, his personal economic model requires him to be useful to the Republicans. Tough spot, lol
This is one of the most holy sh*t stories I’ve ever read in my life. www.vanityfair.com/story/jared-...

One does not "give up principles"- they weren't principles for him to begin with, they were talking points that were easily tossed aside. Is he better than Paxton? Yes. Is he a garbage human being? Also yes Talarico is going to become another sinema-fetterman chimera
James Talarico gave up his principles to make Elon Musk happy. Not for conservative voters—polls are generally showing trans issues are not high priority to anyone this cycle. Dem reversals on trans rights are *only* to assuage Musk & his one-man nationwide ad campaign. This is how Elon Musk reacts

Jesus does a sick kick-flip every time one of his besties kills a pregnant woman
A woman in Arkansas was seeking care for a life-threatening miscarriage. Under the state’s strict abortion ban, no doctor would treat her. “Our hands are tied behind our backs,” one doctor told her. “Tell your friends to vote differently.” (Published May)
Unnecessary suffering is a Christian Virtue, and the root cause of why cruelty fascinates Christians. They are not interested in other frameworks. It is why Christians struggle with easy moral questions like, "Should I rape this child?" or, "Should I turn away the immigrant?"
his virtue is cruelty these are people who are only interested in Christianity, or any other moral, political, or social framework for that matter, as an excuse to do evil things and be called good for doing them

If you would try to win by abandoning trans people (or any targeted group) you can save this “we need to win” talk; there is no “we.” I am about solidarity, and you have chosen anti-solidarity. You are not any “we” I recognize. You are the enemy I’m trying to defeat. Beating you is how my “we” wins.

It’s come to something when a photographer has to get legal advice, before displaying this photo in an exhibition, due to the risk of being prosecuted as a terrorist, but that’s exactly what I had to do yesterday. What a state this country is in.
A woman weeps over the genocide in Gaza as she waits to be arrested as a terrorist for holding up a piece of cardboard. Parliament Square today.
It's the Constitutional definition of treason
Russia gave Iran the coordinates of American troops. Seven died. Trump never raised it. Taliban bounties on Americans. Never raised. This month: sanctions waived, a diesel deal, Ukraine's Starlink cut on a White House order. Ten years, no harsh word for Putin. What would an asset do differently?

Again, this is mostly an attack on Black women.🤷🏿♂️ Because a disproportionate amount of student loan debt is held by Black women. Because: 1) Their families aren't rich 2) But they study hard and get into college 3) So they need much more in student loans 4) But they're paid less / hired less
The Trump admin is moving forward on plans to impose financial penalties on Americans in default on their federal student loans and hire private debt collectors to go after them. The plans are unlikely to be announced until after the midterms.
We must address the quasi governmental power of social media Let's turn them all into PBS
NEW: META comms guy claims the takedown of the No Kings Instagram account during the largest early vote action in history was a simple error. I call BS. I’ll be speaking with @ezralevin.bsky.social at 4:20 PT (in 20 minutes) on Substack. Join the conversation: muellershewrote.com

I'm sure @schumer.senate.gov recognizes the seriousness, considering how effective he's been at getting Trump's nominees through
I am hair-on-fire alarmed. Particularly as a Jew. We’ve been in that place…

This is terribly frustrating to listen to. Healey is the worst kind of apologist Instead of saying the thing - "Trump raped girls," he defends, "The President appreciates the beauty and vivacity of young adults" and then gaslights by arguing that it's more measured and accurate Fuck the NYT
🧵🧵🧵 The NY Times posted a 15-minute video today in which I got to tell NYT what’s wrong with its coverage. They said they saw my critical posts on Bluesky and invited me to do a video with them to air my grievances. Weird, right? I didn’t hold back. I blasted their sanewashing of MAGA extremism.
