Young ‘uns: this stuff happened once a week during Obama’s presidency. Dijon mustard. Moving a bust of Churchill. Inviting a rapper to the White House. Putting his feet up on his desk. They’d scream and cry for days about how effete and snobby and Black he was and how misinderstood they were.

The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.
Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

@johnlegend.bsky.social: "When Vivek Ramaswamy hears of an indicted child abuser who fled the state rather than face charges instead of siding with the victim. He takes the side of the abuser…Do we want a man with this sort of depraved moral compass to lead our state?"

More the fool I, but I really didn't imagine the current regime not simply leaning in to racism but braying it from every rooftop. Fuck RFK Jr., fuck his wife, and fuck anyone—anyone—who thinks that the Republican party deserves anything short of oblivion.
RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

Weird that the focus is fighting Democrats, not fighting Republicans, the actual party trying to make things worse for all these constituencies.
Now, look, on a certain level there's a likelihood to this, right? We're probably going to have to spend 20 years fighting Democrats to restore what we've lost, whether that's trans rights, immigrant rights, voting rights for Southern Black communities.

fuck you. trans people come to Minnesota from neighboring states to get lifesaving care that they’re only able to safely get here because of a set of party line Dem votes.
Because Democrats are nothing but controlled opposition paid by the same people as Republicans to give us the appearance of choice

The best Reddit comment I've seen on Marissa Mayer needing AI to find 3 adjectives to describe her 10-year-old: "Someday in the years to come, Marissa Mayer’s daughter will go no contact with her mother. And Marissa Mayer will ponder this and ask AI why."
Marissa Mayer: "I'm a terrible, lazy parent who doesn't want to spend a moment's though on my child (self-congratulatory)"

Anyways I saw him acting like a fool on college game day and everyone looks so thoroughly sick of him. Gonna pull out the Roy Kent meme!
May I express a spicy take? I do not like the tank-top wearing loser that ESPN fired all their good journalists to pay for his thoroughly mid podcast and the fact that he's a thin-skinned toddler who keeps losing his shit and costing them money sparks joy. Imagine being cleared by the Mannings.

Two types of response to Musk raising the stakes and issuing threats: 1) Oh no! Who wants all that noise? Better avoid this fight, let his malfeasance slide, maybe it’ll just work out. 2) Good, makes this easier. The problem’s unavoidable. We’re not starting a fight, we’re responding. Go with 2

Thousands of Ohioans showed up today ready to make their voices heard and show their support for @amyactonoh.bsky.social. The energy was incredible, and we’re carrying that momentum all the way to November. 10 days.

Matt Yglesias has never held a real job in his entire life.
A helpfully clear exchange here Hasan: "So your argument is that [Minnesota ICE protesters] should stay at home because immigration is a salient issue for Donald Trump. Opposing ICE is only going to help Trump. Wait until we win the election in 2028." Yglesias: "Yes that is what I would have said"
