Good news for the Dems. It's too bad Don Davis is MAGA on social issues. He can't be trusted to vote with the party.

It's so funny watching former GOP war hawks who thought they were in charge of the GOP bemoan that the racist, sexist, xenophobic trash party they gave legitimacy to is throwing away everything they thought they were fighting for.

This is fucking fire. I love it.

People in NC complain about limited mental health resources, underfunded education, inadequate infrastructure, but it's all hot air because they have no interest in paying for those things to get better.

the world will know peace when they finally make a vegan version of these

MLB is like the Democratic Party in that they’re deeply concerned about popularity and all their actions seem to be aimed at capturing some mythical person who has never become a baseball fan and will probably never become a baseball fan meanwhile baseball fans are yelling PLEASE JUST PLAY BASEBALL

I wish this was everyone's idea of heaven, but I know lots of people who's idea of heaven is having power over others and someone to look down on.

I would rather have an inefficient space program than a trillonaire nazi

Having a British soccer broadcaster do a game with a bunch of Spanish names in it is like asking a vegan to run a steakhouse. How is it that British people seem completely incapable of pronouncing Spanish words?

I don't think Qatar would have won this game even if they had enslaved more Indian soccer players.

I always enjoyed NYC. I hope it can be rebuilt after tonight.

For damn sure. The "dad" coded party gets away with shit because "boys will be boys," but the "mom" coded party is expected to take shit seriously. Not to say that everything is gender, but damn near everything is gender.

People who didn't vote in the last election because they thought their vote wouldn't matter and because they don't like politics are not people you can incentivize to vote in any kind of predictable way imo.

I don't know man. When AI chatbots are convincing people to commit suicide and that they have terminal illnesses that they don't really have, maybe that shit should be reigned in a bit.

The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

We're either seeing the end of America, or we're seeing the last dying breaths of white supremacy before the next generation rebuilds America better. I really want to believe it's the latter, but it's probably the former and America is just going to become another Russia, ruled by oligarchs.

If you see this, repost with your model of positive masculinity.

It doesn't actually matter if Chuck Schumer votes for this or not. If he can't keep his caucus unified to protect healthcare for over 10 million Americans, he should resign as leader.

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

Dam been writing a book about this and she just TikToked it in 90 seconds.

last night as i was trying to wind down for bed i had a unified theory of what the fuck just happened, and i wrote it down, and filed it under "well, i can't talk about this on main without sounding insane until and unless the perp gets caught and is provably a groyper" anyways, great news! (1/X)

Journalism is RIPE for "pick me" types who desperately want to feel powerful by proximity.

The American constitution is mostly the story of an aspiring democracy trying to be as free as it can get away with without the South rising up and murdering everyone. The notable exceptions are the Reconstruction Amendments, which stemmed from President Lincoln saying “You know what? Bet.”

A good read. We gotta have a plan, and this provides some good ones.

These guys are describing a real thing but it’s not the thing they think it is: they’re actually describing the absolutely enormous right-wing media ecosystem’s ability to blow up huge cultural outrages out of absolutely nothing, milking them to radicalize young men into racial and gender extremism

"The most popular Democratic figures among this group of voters were Barack Obama... and Bernie Sanders, because they think he would have had a positive impact on the country as president and would have kept young people and low-income communities’ best interests at heart."

Ending partisan gerrymandering would go a long way to solving this problem, particularly in states like NC where gerrymandering allows a stacked conservative legislature to take over the university system and impose its will.

It's like Trump making false accusations that Obama committed "sedition." He thinks it's fine when he does it. He just likes using big, scary words to throw at his enemies, and doesn't care if they're true. That's how MAGA sees pedophilia: Only a crime if someone you already hate does it.

Most politicians from North Carolina are going to reference their faith and if that's something you -- someone who is not from North Carolina -- do not like, you are perfectly welcome to shut the fuck up.

Anyway, I just blocked a few dozen people in the replies there. If you’re outraged that a NC Dem would mention prayer and think it’s a bad move, I probably don’t need to hear additional political insights from you

This is huge news. There's not another Dem in NC with the name recognition and respect that Cooper has. He's the only one who could beat Lara Trump if she decides to run.

Given that NC has been ruled by a gerrymandered, authoritarian NC legislature since 2010, I'd say he was right.

If you don't already, watch Colbert. He is a man with no more f*cks left to give. And it's glorious. Check out this song parody from last night's show: Mike Johnson Delays House Epstein Vote Until September
