Proud Kentuckian, fervent leftie, Xennial raising 2 girls with less rights than I grew up with and mad about it.

My life is amazing mostly because I have (somehow?) a whole freaking squad of ride or die bitches by my side who are insanely smart, capable, and kinder than any man I've ever met. Women will make a better future if you would just kindly get the fuck out of our way.

Doctors, lawyers, librarians, teachers, psychologists, more. That's what they're scared of. WE'RE what they're scared of. They think we're after them and they're right.

This is so sick. So a Russian blood diesel vessel is on its way to NC set to arrive tomorrow. It left St Petersburg on Sept 22nd. This Trump-Putin plan has been in the works for weeks can’t picture what allies America will have left after this

Grand Theft Auto is a problem. Also was a problem. Funneled boys into deeper and deeper misogyny. I should have spoken up. It always made me deeply uncomfortable. But who wants to say that to their crush in the dorm room? It's STILL being celebrated. I failed. My daughters will not.

MAHA is a project built on vanity, grifting, racism & survival of the fittest A colleague of mine has a friend in Los Angeles who went to the gym, &, um, RFK Jr was there, working out, surrounded by a HUGE ENTOURAGE of security dudes & snipers Black infants *MUST* suffer so RFK can get big pecs!

"RKF took money earmarked to provide health care for Black infants and spent it on his personal security detail" is a ludicrous headline. Comic book villainy.

Bloomberg reports that officials directly involved in an internal Pentagon investigation found that Peter Thiel’s Palantir Maven Smart System played a significant role in the February 28 U.S. strike on the Shajareh Tayyebeh Elementary School in Minab, Iran.

A Democrat should file a bill on Monday for everyone to get $5,000 checks right now to see if Mike Johnson, John Thune and congressional Republicans will advance and pass it. Call their bluff. Pass the bill.

From a post by Tony Pentimalli: CBS did not just lose its courage. It sold it, wrapped it in corporate language, and handed it to the same rich and powerful people 60 Minutes was supposed to expose. The show was not canceled because canceling it would have been too obvious.

NEW: I've filed a claim with Todd Blanche for compensation from the $1.776B slush fund for the unlawful investigation by the government into my podcast in August 2019. I'm seeking $8.647 million in compensation for weaponized lawfare - the equivalent of punitive damages, lost pay and retirement.

The people I love the most in the world just barely tolerate me. I'm not going to lie, it hurts. They don't try to hide it. I know they're my kids and they are adolescents and this is normal and fine. It still hurts.

I’ve been checking out Xavier Becerra… and I like what I’m hearing. Serious experience. Solid on the issues. Not just talk. And he’s hitting the issues the right way. Feels like someone who actually understands what California needs. Let’s keep eyes on him together.

Speaker Johnson, we are calling on you to bring the House back to DC IMMEDIATELY! The Cabinet needs to invoke the 25th Amendment. But Congress can’t just sit on its hands and wait for that to happen when the President is threatening to commit war crimes TONIGHT.

Anyone else have amazing, likeminded friends who aren't showing up? I'm a marshal on Saturday and I have a tight knit group of friends who support me in all things, and are as furious as I am. And they just don't come. I can't explain it and it hurts.

Some may have reasons. But they don't vocalize them. The whole group just ignores me when I mention rallys. We're 40ish. We've been angry a long time and I get that too. But this is different. Talk to me if you don't want to. I feel powerless and sad. If I can't rally like minded folks, are we done?

I love Steve Carell. But my appetite for a "rich middle aged white dude finds himself on the campus of a leafy elite university" story is pretty much zero. Rooster feels like it's really missing the zeitgeist.

The thing about Hakeem Jeffries is that I keep demanding that dems are more vocal. That they go on the shows. Make the argument to the American people. But every time I see him on TV, more and more, I hate him. Maybe he's effective. But that's hard to imagine

Is there really backlash against the men's Olympic hockey team that they are aware of? Super curious. I live in a bubble and everyone is popping off but I have no idea if they're even aware. Or America in general. MSM doesn't cover anything

A MOTHER JONES SCOOP! New details from Epstein files reveal Lutnick had a years-long business tie with the sex offender. This challenges his claim he had minimal contact with Epstein. The two were involved in a deal for six years, and an email shows they discussed it. @nlanard.bsky.social

motherjones.comNew details from Epstein files reveal Lutnick had years-long business tie with sex offenderThe commerce secretary apparently still hasn't come clean on his connection with Epstein.

Y'all I've been following the Epstein saga through Instagram reels a bit and everything changed in the last 5 hours. Everyone I'm following is GONE. ALL OF THEM. GONE. My feed is cats and dumb hot takes. THIS IS BAD
