I'm a writer who is also a big fan of storytelling in all its forms. Bisexual lady who can't drive and finds chairs awkward so sorry about the stereotype.

A serial rapist was elected twice as President, a fact we don't reckon with nearly enough. Now one of two major political parties has been molded in his image, run for and by violent sexual abusers who hate women.

Trump: "Ramaswamy put up a very powerful Ad about a mother saying that her daughter, Acton, is a liar, and much worse. The Press is trying to get him to 'take down the Ad.' Frankly, anybody whose mother spoke about daughter that way would normally lead to the daughter being precluded from serving"

This is a big reason why I don't like going out late. Maybe you get home and go to bed. I get home and still have to do all my unwinding, be alone, read or watch tv or whatever, for like two hours before I can go to sleep.

AOC: "As AI begins to encroach in our society, their goal is to take your cognition away from you. AI's goal is to take your thoughts away from you, your ability to think away from you, so that you become dependent on a machine ... reading books is active resistance"

I'm not sure how much more blatant it can get that these guys are looting the federal government and then pointing over there and saying "look what THOSE BLACK PEOPLE ARE GETTING AWAY WITH!!!" bsky.app/profile/atru...

Stephen Miller claims Somali-Americans in Minnesota are "buying Mercedes, buying BMWs, they buy a nice house, all their kids fly first class all over the world" (This is a lie!)

Pat Fitzgerald was accused of allowing the sexual, racial, and emotional abuse of his players at Northwestern, but the guys on FOX are still calling him “Coach Fitzy.”

Americans, please don’t worry about your child coming home from school a different sex. Worry about your child not coming home from school because they were shot to death.

BUT THE DANGEROUS LEFTIST RHETORIC, GUYS! Such as repeating words people actually said or describing their actions or reading their policies. Very heated, very dangerous. This, however, totally fucking fine

Trump on El-Sayed: "His name is actually Abduladadalalalala. It's Adulbabababababa Mohammed Al-Sayed. So his middle name is Mohammed. So I was right. He's a jihadist."

What is happening right now? This can't be real life. Did we all die during Covid and this is hell?

Cannot wait to hear Republicans who have completely reversed their entire belief system for this chud try to explain why, no, that actually didn't happen and now that a democrat is in the White House we are very concerned about the Constitution again.

Elon cut off Starlink to Ukraine because they blew up his Russian bots and so now his posts don’t get enough likes? Do I have that right?

First, Rudy Giuliani booked Four Seasons Total Landscaping. Then Senator Schmitt confused the Atlanta Hawks with the Iowa Hawkeyes. Now a GOP super PAC spent $25,000 campaigning in the wrong Portland. These people want to redraw America's borders but can't find the places on a map.

The whole Shane Gillis SNL thing is just another reminder that it's so easy to be a shitty, lazy comedian if you're just willing to expose the fact that you a) hate women and b) haven't had an original joke idea since the Reagan administration

It feels like one of the tenets of the MAGA movement is you always have to act like you're the dumbest motherfucker alive. JD Vance has a degree in political science and philosophy from Ohio State. He has a law degree from Yale. He absolutely knows what socialism is, but he has to do this act.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Q: How do you define socialism personally? JD VANCE: I think in reality what it actually means in the American context is you want to replace American workers with foreigners workers, and you want boys to play in girls' sports

The fraternity brothers in the group chat who cheer violence? That behavior is being modeled by the president of this country. I cannot stress this enough — Trump is teaching young men how to be abusive every time he opens his mouth.

Trump: "We've gonna shove it up their ass ... They are a bunch of dumb son of a bitches" Remember when presidents had dignity? Here's a lowlight supercut from Trump's rally tonight in Ohio:

Trump and Ronny Jackson have a chuckle about the botched execution in Tennessee: "The medication didn't exactly work. He [Jackson] would answer it better than anybody. How does that happen? It shouldn't be very difficult."

Gobsmacked by the elite levels of not knowing ball in the Senate today, thinking an NBA team is called the Hawkeyes then, refusing to Google it, then accusing a guy of treason because you didn’t know the Iowa Lady Hawkeyes aren’t in the NBA. Somehow I don’t trust these people to Save Girls Sports.

Our system of governance derives its legitimacy from the consent of the governed. When public servants use propaganda to manipulate the people they are supposed to serve in order to MANUFACTURE that consent, our SERVANTS soon become our MASTERS. Your tax dollars paid for this ad.

I am a 911 dispatcher in Canada and we are going through the exact same problems. Especially in government centres, pay is not keeping up, retention is low, centres are critically short staffed. Burnout, PTSD, depression, anxiety. And they refuse to classify us a first responders.

Mother Jones@motherjones.com

People often dial 911 in dire situations, fearing for their own lives or someone else's. Being quickly connected to a dispatcher can be a matter of life or death. But across the country, callers are being placed on hold. Why? @byardduncan.bsky.social and @typeinvestigations.org investigated.

You don't want to know the things I and my colleagues have had to listen to, talk through, manage, direct, and solve through the years. The ones we hear die in our ears. The splitting agonized screams of a mother finding her child hanging. The aftermath of a SA. Years of it. Day after day.

And this doesn't touch on the other thing: we regularly get abused by callers. Being called a cunt, bitch, piece of shit, yelling and berating and belittling. Death threats SA threats. I'm just trying to help you, friend. We deal with it, it's part of the job. But it sure isn't helping.

It would provide us with better and badly needed mental health supports, better pay for improved hiring and retention. We are categorized in my organization with secretaries and other admin workers. Secretaries are great! We need them, they do good work. But I'm not a secretary, I am front line.

"White men aren't winning awards and when they are it's specifically because they're putting aside their whiteness for wokeness." Must be so tiring to view the entire world through this lens. There's also no arguing with someone that thinks this way because they have an out no matter what.

Nothing makes more crazy than "we all have the same 24 hours." No. We do not. People with money have childcare, accountants, landscapers, house keepers, cars, personal trainers, then maybe personal shoppers, chefs, drivers. All things that give you time in exchange for money.

Not only did I meet Robert Kraft, I worked for him. His kid Jonathan asked me to “remove the black music” from my gameday playlist in ‘94 & I refused so they fired me. I was the cheerleader director at the time.  I sued them for wrongful termination and won. So yes, I know that motherfucker.
