Trans rights are not optional. If we’re trading people for power then burn this place down. Don't be boring if other options are on the table.

Israel votes today with polls showing it neck-and-neck between Netanyahu’s Far Right bloc and the mainly Hard Right opposition bloc. All but one of the leading Jewish parties have ruled out working with the Arab blocs.

bbc.co.ukIsrael heads to polls for pivotal election defined by security and democracyMany fear neither of the leading political blocs will win enough seats for a majority - meaning weeks or months of political wrangling may lie ahead.

CBS deleted this post and reposted it admitting that their original one was misleading. And the misleading post from CBS was intentionally misleading, not an innocent mistake. CBS continues to lose credibility.

Mike Rogers did the meme

Interesting approach by Mike Rogers to make his loyalty to Elon Musk & the oligarchy an explicit part of his campaign earlier this year. “When you stand with my Senate campaign today, you are directly shielding Elon Musk,” Rogers wrote. www.metrotimes.com/news/mike-ro...

Here's a direct link to House Dem's Judiciary Cmte report. The executive summary begins: "A growing body of evidence demonstrates that Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s." democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Per a new report from House Democrats, Trump's DOJ is withholding evidence of his ties to Epstein and slow-walking the complete release of the Epstein files. It's time to end the cover-up and expose the truth. Remember this when you cast your ballot. www.ms.now/news/house-j...

I don't care for how this has become almost a joke people throw in along with how he's old and fat and orange rather than a stomach-churning, existentially horrifying thing for a nation to know about its head of state.

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

Friends, I'm going to say this as gently as I can. This is not moral or ethical advice. That should be the priority but let's put it aside for a second. This is financial advice. Listen closely. If you buy stock in an AI company, you're a clown and a mark and you will lose your money. Don't do it.

This report is genuinely overwhelming, in terms of the evidence both against Trump and of a ham-fisted cover-up. Including one instance in which Ghislaine Maxwell was actually about to mention one of Trump's young accusers and Todd Blanche told her to stop talking. The media response is "yawn."

there are a ton of hilarious examples of this but none will ever top the participant in the NYT's recurring 2024 "focus group" who worked for one of the largest Republican political consulting firms in America.

Kevin M. Kruse@kevinmkruse.bsky.social

There are only two explanations for the NYT's habit of presenting GOP operatives and donors as true swing voters: 1. Their reporters and editors are somehow incapable of running a simple Google searches, showing just a staggering level of journalistic incompetence 2. They want to the GOP to win

The caucus also accused the Trump administration of a broad cover-up, designed to shield the president from blowback as it tried to roll out the release of the Epstein files to the general public.

Lord Sparkinari reposted

It's really damning. The accusations are numerous and well-supported. But I was really struck by the descriptions of Trump's behavior -- the name dropping, strong-arming, and attempts to buy off silence. His gross rivalry with Epstein. It's all so familiar. It's shit he's been doing his entire life.

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...

Conservatives: the cheesecake factory is like dining with Roman Emperors to most Americans. Trump/Nero: fuck that guy Cheesecake Factory is a shithole. Cons: *nodnodwagtail*

Trump is BIG MAD about Obama saying the White House now looks like Saddam opened a Cheesecake Factory: "He's not a smart guy. He's not smart at all ... for you to say it's a Cheesecake Factory, that just shows why you were a lousy president"

I just think Matt's wrong about this. We're at a point in our technological development where a ton of problems spill over national borders--if Flavio Bolsonaro burns down the Amazon, that will flood houses in Miami.

I'm going to try to do this cleanly. Today's right wing governments are networked to each other. Those networks are well-documented. You can read about them in books. Following the elections in one node of that network is good practice for understanding the U.S. node.

I fucking hate that I have to vote for judges. How the fuck should I know whether or not these THIRTEEN PEOPLE are good at their jobs? Did they fill out a performance review? Do I look them each up on LinkedIn and reach out to their coworkers? Even the ones w Wikipedia pages give me no information.🤷‍♀️

This is why your government is in debt. We did not tax them and they lobbied our congressmen to give them money, which we pay interest on to them, because we also borrow that money back from them.

benefits us, it's a robust citizenry for capricious, violent, oligarchy. They murder more people than guns, they just do it with forclosures, bankruptcies, healthcare denials and deportation. They hate what America was at its greatest, want us to return to chattel slavery.

Its why they go to the mat for pedophiles/rapists. Its why they howl when pedophile and rapists get their names taken off of buildings. "He was a great American, look at this document he wrote! (while he was raping people he claimed to own)." They're violent motherfuckers and we need to stop them.

This has happened repeatedly since Reagan. When things crash, they are fine. They keep their homes, their money/retirment/golden parachute, and their healthcare. We lose pensions, property and jobs. The Great Replacement is not a bunch of immigrants coming to America, something that always
