Every day is a battle between: Be kind and compassionate, have empathy for others, give them the benefit of the doubt or Fuck you for being so fucking stupid, mean, & shitty Like if you're a former Republican/MAGA, man I really want you on our side and thanks for waking up but also FUUUUCK...

Beyond a new rape allegation, the @democrats-judiciary.house.gov report implicates current Attorney General Todd Blanche, stating he "may have engaged in criminal obstruction of justice while acting on a mission to protect Trump," referring to an interview with Ghislaine Maxwell. Seems like news!

Will anyone—anyone at all—ask Trump about the rape allegations published in an official report by the House Judiciary Democrats? Or will he continue to escape accountability for his violence?

"You're fucking stupid" is the MOST GENEROUS reading of anyone who says something gross like "men in women's sports" That's us being kind. Assuming you have pudding where your brain should be. "You're dumb as a box of rocks for saying that dumb shit" is us giving you the benefit of the doubt here

When democrats do this it - depresses the base vote - doesn’t attract a single gop/swing vote - validates gop hate rhetoric - pushes young kids towards suicide - is immoral Otherwise it’s a great strategy for lining the politics of shit consultants

Politician:"I'm running on a platform of killing your friends by stripping them of their rights and healthcare and demonizing them in our society with the goal of forcing them out of public forever" Me:"This guy sucks and we shouldn't vote for him" Lib:"You cant be a single issue voter right now!"

im over trans genocide being described as a ‘single issue’ like we’re jus talking about tax rises or something.

This is where "it's just trans sports bans" leads you, Democrats supporting overtly genocidal policies that would kill tens of thousands of trans people. But at least we'll be marched into the camps by someone in blue, right?

Erin Reed@erininthemorning.com

Josh Turek of Iowa, Democrat, comes out with one of the worst anti-trans ads yet. Not only is it an anti-sports ad, it proposes a ban on federal funding for gender affirming care. That would hit all medicaid and medicare patients, and any ACA federally-subsidized plans as well. Horrific.

Voting for candidates like this means supporting someone who falls for far right lies, has no moral compass, doesn't understand science, is bad at politics, wants to interfere in your medical decisions, doesn't value privacy, and has no problem working with bigots Walking red flags in every way

รℓσαɳε ℓყรɓεƭɦ@sloanelysbeth.northsky.social

transphobia is rooted in far right conspiracies, medical disinformation, and science denialism. even if you don’t care about trans ppl you are causing wider problems if you elect those candidates.

@fpwellman.bsky.social I appreciate that you can run a good campaign and take on a long time incumbent in a red state and not have to resort to throwing trans people or immigrants under the bus to It's nice to have someone who wants to fight the fascists without compromising his moral compass

@repdelbene.bsky.social literally what the fuck is wrong with you? Please, tell us the name of the consultant or dogshit agency telling you that this is a way to win. We're trying to fight fascism and you guys are acting like absolute fucking clowns.

The DCCC funding this means that the Democratic party itself, not individual politicians, is endorsing anti-trans policies as an electoral talking point

In a major escalation in Dems embracing anti-trans positions, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the official campaign arm of House Democrats, released its first anti-trans ad supporting Nancy Lacore in SC-01. Transphobia is spreading among dems. Subscribe to support our journalism.

I don't think we as a society talk enough about the fact that they made a Child's Play movie where the plot was Chucky jerking off into a cup and trying to impregnate a woman with his doll jizz to make a new body for his doll son (a nonbinary British school boy) while attempting to possess Redman

His campaign strategy right now:

Raider@iwillnotbesilenced.bsky.social

Vivek Ramaswamy mocks Amy Acton for being raped by her stepfather and abused by her biological mother, saying she "complains about what someone else did to her."

Genuinely conflicted about whether or not I should allow the new Harry Potter show to be requested on my Plex server On the one hand, I am not watching that shit and don't want it on my server So clearly my first instinct is to just block that transphobe trash and be done with it

But on the other hand, I know plenty of people in my family who will look there first to watch it If it's not on there, they will take the time to sign into HBO and stream from the place that actually profits and gives ratings to keep making it, which generates money that will do real harm

Are we gonna do this, Bluesky? Are we all just gonna not understand accounting? 72B$ of the 80B$ is convertible notes. They became greater liabilities because the company's valuation skyrocketed. They don't have an 80B$ loss in the sense that almost everyone here is imagining.

I don't want to pay you to shut up about Dems being cowards and terrible at their jobs listening to this tool, but how much would it cost to get you to find Matt Yglesias and take a big shit right in his mouth so he shuts the fuck up? That's something I could definitely figure out how to crowdfund.

jenny tightpants@jtp.bsky.social

just the thought that anyone in the democratic party is listening to this guy as he complains about how the concessions the democrats have made to the right are too "half-hearted" is all i need to keep spreading the message not to vote for these candidates if you are trans or have trans loved ones

This is the response that these weirdo genocide supporters think makes Abdul a terrorist and makes racist questions about him relevant instead of just pure bigotry. Go ahead and judge for yourself.

Hen Mazzig@henmazzig.bsky.social

This is how CNN covered Abdul El-Sayed berating a young voter who asked him a relevant question about terrorism. El-Sayed in the past said that a Hezbollah-inspired attack on a Michigan Jewish preschool was a response to Israel’s actions.

Does anyone know if Abdul El-Sayed has disavowed the Evil League of Evil run by the notorious terrorist mastermind Bad Horse?

"I see what you're saying about us all pooping our pants. I see him criticizing the decisions I made and the president has made about shitting ourselves. But fundamentally, we have shit in our pants. I'd like to know his solution for the problem we have right now of the shit we took in our pants."

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

JD Vance: "I see what Abdul El-Sayed says about the war in Iran. I see him criticizing decisions the president has made, the military has made. But fundamentally we are where we are.I'd like to know what's Abdul El-Sayed's solution for the problem we have right now? It's easy to criticize"

So anti-trans democrats alienated progressive voters and LGBTQ people and their allies for no benefit? And those of us sounding the alarm on how terrible an idea selling out trans people was were entirely correct? But who could have known?!

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.

The problem is that the only solution in our current system to this is voting with our wallets and people aren't willing to do that They won't leave X, they won't leave Twitter, they won't leave TikTok, they won't stop seeing Paramount shit, they won't stop consuming media from awful people at all

It’s taking a long time for people to wake up to the fact that these platforms are not public forums but privately owned companies with terrible agendas and total control. If you lay down with these dogs…

Now more than ever, we need to support things like @bsky.app trying to decentralize social media and take it out of the hands of billionaire corporations with ATProto We need to financially support things like @dropout.tv or @nebula.tv to fund creators outside the gross billionaire fascist weirdos

But most importantly, we need to start voting with our wallets and stop funneling money to the horrible right wing monsters that are controlling these things And that means not using stuff like X, Instagram, Facebook, etc. We all have to draw our own lines, it won't be perfect, but we have to try

There's no future where we will see, in our lifetimes, the nationalizing of the arts. It just won't happen that the government will take over any platforms, and while we should push for trustbusting legislation to break up some of these things it probably won't happen and won't really fix things.

Knowing that, it means that for the rest of your life the people who own things like television channels, YouTube, social media, & film studios will be private companies These private companies have shown that they can be wildly, openly fascist and racist and homophobic and bigoted w/no consequence

Y'all should know the play by now. They start off with whatever seems the most socially acceptable kink to cry bloody murder over, then it's just a hop and a skip and a jump to everything suddenly being criminalized. Kink content is important. Even the kinks you don't like. Remember that.

Roleplaying incest scenarios in porn will be criminalized in the UK as of next month, 2 years in prison for possession and 5 years for publishing I don’t know what to say that I haven’t said, this is bleak as fuck Any UK ABDL furries should also be extremely weary as this law targets you too

Warframe is a lot of fun, but it should take a lesson from POE and develop an actual in-game marketplace system Having to rely on out-of-game 3rd party websites to trade items is just a big barrier that stops a lot of new players POE fixed it, Warframe should too #Warframe

Abortion is so popular that my backward ass state of Missouri gave Republicans a super majority in our state government on the same ballot that passed the most comprehensive pro-choice abortion protection in the nation as a permanent constitutional amendment

🎃 Imani Gandy Corn 🎃@angryblacklady.blacksky.app

Nope. Abortion rights are in danger because we don't have many leaders willing to stand up and say it's a social good. Instead they talk about "women's repro healthcare." Abortion is so popular that Colorado's repro health amendment with no fetal viability ban passed in Lauren Boebert's district.

"normal people don't give a shit about children suffering and dying" is exactly what I would expect from someone trying to defend Israel's actions tbh

Hen Mazzig@henmazzig.bsky.social

No, normal people don't make their whole life about a single cause that they're misinformed on, while ignoring other serious causes that can't be blamed on the Jews.
