Under Martin, the DNC has BEEN investing in the South, and that effort was LED by Ken. As Ken says: people love to shit on the DNC but I’m not going to take it anymore. ❤️

FTR? The “professional cut” for the Bichon Frisé? Absolute garbage. Absolute trash. Completely ruins the dog & you don’t get as much personality in the face. It’s a dog. You people are unserious.

Most of us agree on this

Also I’m looking at the actors who are apparently the finalists to be the next James Bond and god damn the decision not to go with Idris Elba some years ago was just a massive fuck up.

Think of all the time people like Schumer and Jeffries wasted insisting the real problem was the “super MAGA extra MAGA deluxe MAGA Republicans” because they were fucking so afraid of offending their Republican buddies on the Hill

I just want dems to stop messing around and finally call republicans evil and disgusting. Not trump. Not "maga." republicans and republican voters. By name.

I think Clinton, Obama and Biden did good things when they had Democratic majorities but if you compare it to what Reagan, Bush and Trump have done you can comprehend why we need to change this culture where we simply dont demand enough of the Democratic Party.

you guys need to do a much better job of calling out the media for carrying gop water on racism, bigotry and disinfo. just because "a republican said it" does not make an issue a legitimate issue.

I’ve done a lot of cable news interviews over the years, but I still get questions that shock me.

Jared Kushner’s hacked iPhone revealed he promised MBS and MBZ he would push their agenda with Trump if they participated in a secret fund, with the two royals initially discussing over $10B before ultimately placing at least $2B into his accounts. Paywalled, use archive. archive.ph/FHGAt

I will say there was a funny zoom call early on where she'd asked for a meeting with various industry / SW groups and someone distributed it widely and so they were expecting like three people on a zoom call and got like 75 all of whom were like "uh, you're approach is way off base and this is only

Let me just say that I participated in Baroness Bertin's infamous porn review. It was clear from the beginning that it was pretext for censorship. The questions were like "Please provide detailed evidence as to how porn harms women."

Oh wait, a whole government department set up to watch porn and report the kinky bits. Comparing sex online to pollution? This gets more British by the minute.

And, of course, the good Baroness has a "grey area" of material that's NOT illegal but COULD BE if she could get the government to declare it so. You know, things like facesitting and caning. Like, there's a list of what's up next.

"This is about regulating against illegal content, it's not about regulating sexual kinks," Baroness Bertin told Sky News. Um, when the British government declares certain consensual sexual behavior between adults "illegal," that is pretty much the definition of regulating sexual kinks.

very odd to me that a lot of these guys think that because they got some numbers right they have therefore unlocked the door to understanding all political outcomes

Murbs’ Sox reposted

yep, a very good illustration of the analytical risk of this kind of arrogance

Great reminder you should be way less careful and confident with predictions on what the environment will look like and how races will develop

This is why I love sex work & sex workers. The radicals are the good people.

Pornographers were — and are — sexual radicals on the front lines of liberation. The sex industry is a much a bigger part of our history and our political power is generally recognized. We should be proud to be part of it.

Not to mention the legal battles that were fought by pornographers that helped clear the way for gay media, nor the way LGBTQ+ media was (and is) labeled porn, nor the mainstream LGBTQ media was supported by porn (and sex club!) ads, nor the the funding donated to the movement.

They also quite literally helped build and fund the “gay rights” movement. Years ago I spoke with Steven Toushin of Bijou Video, who told me how early gay rights activists came to him for his mailing lists. How Steve Endean, one of the founders of the Human Rights Campaign Fund.

To those in the closet, they were the original “It gets better” videos. For many, it was the only avenue they had for sexual expression. Porn told an alternate narrative. And because they were commercially viable in a way other material wasn’t, they were critical in reaching community.

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

Warnock: "I worry that Democrats are missing a real opportunity to invest in a serious & sustained way in the South. If we would just lean in and stay in through the election & after the election, the kind of victory you saw us achieve here in Georgia, it is achievable in a place like Mississippi."

Because porn is a critical part of queer history. It was some of the only queer-owned media and a radical and positive documentation of sexuality at a time when it was being violently suppressed elsewhere.

I spent an afternoon with Loyd Powell and Robert Conn, who run the Heart of Leather Foundation in Houston. Their dream is to open a museum of LGBTQ history. Until then, they have over 35,000 artifacts sitting in storage, and they let me see them: www.chron.com/culture/arti...

Figuring out why Ossoff is so effective is an interesting task. I think he's mastering a kind of stern dignity that is uniquely compelling in contrast to the clownish cruelty of the other side. I think the other person who's kind of hit on the same thing is AOC, though in a different register

Ossoff: "I think Pete Hegseth is frankly a deeply unwell person who seems to relish this kind of brutality all the while he's running a department that is falling into chaos. The guy cannot run the military competently and is spending his time with this kind of obscene medieval spectacle."

it's a bit concerning that instead of responding to obvious political incentives and moderating on some of their worst and most unpopular policies, the Trump administration is getting more and more extreme
