I don’t think we should get used to a man this wealthy, this full of hate and this willing to demonize a small minority having so much power in our economy and in our politics.
To defend democracy, we must defeat the oligarchs.
Sure. Nothing other than algebra, trigonometry, our fucking numbers, and keeping the Western philosophical traditions alive.
JFC, this is a trash person. What an absolutely gross and cringy idiot. This is exactly why MAGA identifies with him.
RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."
Politico wrote up Zohran playing basketball with the uncovering-a-big-scandal tone the same day the NYTimes wrote up "credible allegation that The President of the United States raped a woman" as a political strategy story. Broken media in a nutshell
New: Mayor Zohran Mamdani and a group of his friends have been secretly using the NYPD Police Academy’s gymnasium in Queens to play pickup basketball — scrambling some operations at the facility.

I've already seen some effort to bury this as "there's not a lot new here." As if, "What's one more rape victim?" is sound editorial judgment. Republicans kept the Benghazi story going for years on nothing new, but that didn't stop to press from covering every nothing burger they served up.
Look, when quislings get exactly what they worked for, it's perfectly okay to mock them.
When people work this hard to be treated the way they wanted others to be treated, they and their supporters SHOULD feel foolish. They ARE fools, behaved stupidly, and helped hurt 1000s of people.
I want to ask reporters what else exactly they want from Beth Upton. They wanted her booted out of female changing rooms, they got it. They wanted her on trial for misconduct, they got it, she was found totally blameless. They wanted her publicly named and shamed in the media, they got it…
Tiffany Perkinz, who is running for the District 7 Texas State Board of Education is reporting that the fake trans fliers were orchestrated by a Dallas-area MAGA businessman.
The hoax pretends to be TENT, a real Texas trans group, reaching out to recruit Texas children.
This guy spitn fire!
So, Centrists can't understand how the Left can't just have a little grace for rural folk who voted Trump and now regret it. This is why these people don't deserve it.

So here we have far-right militia attacking protestors and when the protestors defend themselves, the police charges them...
Montpellier. These images are crazy and show where France is at regarding its fascist turn.
Les militants fascistes ont attaqués des manifestants rue de la Loge sous les yeux de la police, quand les manifestants ont répliqués, la police a chargé pour les protéger et les miliciens ont frappés les gens à terre !

A more honest @variety.com headline: “writing from her mega-yacht, the billionaire J.K. Rowling says trans activism is “Elitist,” defending her views: “I have see mean tweets. I’m the victim. Trans must be eradicated from society! As the civil rights leader Anita Bryant said, Save Our Children!!!”
Folks who are surprised liberal institutions were happy to go full-fascism on the trans question, until 2015, Oxford formals featured ceremonially drinking from a fascist’s cup, fashioned from an enslaved Caribbean woman’s skull.
Culturally, we're talking about an institution where until 2015, academics were still drinking from a cup made from a skull that was rumoured to belong to an enslaved Caribbean woman.
Interestingly, the moral voice here is the same MP that’s stood firm against the billionaire-fueled expansion and institutionalization of transphobia in the UK.
Tokens get spent. Every quisling believes they have a seat at the table and are the last to figure out they were always on the menu.
Worse, fascism can’t happen without quislings. Quisling psychology is as gross as it is pathetic.
Pro-ICE conservative blogger Samuel Sey, a prominent figure on the evangelical right, has himself been arrested and held for potential ICE deportation.
NEW: Shortly after the DOJ filed a dangerous lawsuit preemptively challenging the results of Alaska's U.S. Senate race if the Republican loses, Trump had something to say.
"I'm the one that said 'do it,'" he told journalists. https://demdock.com/47DOkLC
Trump and Ramaswamy attack Ohio gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton. Acton’s mother calls her a liar, but the court documents provide evidence that she’s telling the truth. www.news5cleveland.com/news/politic...
There was never a Leftist media. Arguably, there was 1 or 2 Centrist media platforms that were swamped by right wing propaganda. The goal hear is total right wing info curation, while never hysterically crying about Leftist bias.
News just broke that Elon Musk made a $1 billion investment in the Ellison family's Skydance, which owns CBS and CNN. Anoher step toward right-wing "media capture," as I wrote about recently in my Stop the Presses newsletter.
Here is an article I wrote last year about the tragic death of Joelle.
I didn't publish it as I didn't want to impede Trans Legal Clinic. But now that they have made the story public, here is the article.
I'm in tears 😥😥😥😥😥😥
Stop killing us!!!

What happened to Scientific American? When the Trump administration threatened to end federal subscriptions to scientific journals that expressed political opinions, its corporate owners chose profit over free speech. @woolsox.bsky.social reports:
Ramaswamy is doubling down on the ad starring Amy Acton's abusive mother defending Acton's rapist and calling her a liar about it at age 12 because Republican politicians and voters ideologically support the physical and sexual abuse of women and children by men, whom they see as their owners.
QueerAF can reveal figures that show 618 people have died while under the care of an NHS gender clinic, at least 21 by suicide.

This is nonsense word salad. If it's a classification, it’s a thought or system, not a body. If it's an immutable classification, it certainly has zero to do w/biological science. Some treatments will change a body from having XY to XX. None of these clowns can even list the attributes of sex.
No neoliberal has the capsity to grasp that their supply-side cost cutting breaks social systems and when those social systems breaks, fascism rises.
Fascism always follows neoliberals. Fascism cannot rise without it.
Republicans could be solving real problems. But they’d rather villainize trans people, who are already 4x more likely to be victims of violence.
It is so wrong.
#MAGAInYourBathroom
If you’d like to own nothing and know you can never stop grinding just to keep your nose above water, keep voting GOP. Oh, and donn’t primary centrist neoliberals.
That way, all of this will get worse and when the billionaires crash the economy again, you’ll have the privilege of bailing them out.
Key findings: this is what @lucympowell.bsky.social is doing to trans children.
She is a bully who is deliberately and needlessly harming CHILDREN.
She should be removed, she is unfit to be Education Secretary or to work with any children.
Not Safe To Be Me.
Horrific reading. @prideineducation.bsky.social & C2BT analyses social media responses to the video made by Katie Neeves about the harm & distress @lucympowell.bsky.social’s anti-trans schools “guidance” has caused to a 13-year old trans girl.

“Trust me bro. Supply-side economics doesn’t produce Hoovervilles and Keynesian economics totally didn’t build the post war middle class. If billionairs own everything, you won’t have to worry about resource scarcity. If you can just own nothing, YOU WILL LOVE IT!”
Most billionaire wealth isn't in yachts or jewelry — that's just a few percent of it. Most is productive business capital: companies that employ people, build things, and fund research.
Tax that wealth and you're taxing the businesses that employ us all. Cato's Adam Michel explains.
There is no reforming this system in the same way that there’s no reforming ICE. It must be destroyed as an institution. The entire city PD should be shuttered and replaced.
No quisling is special. Tokens get spent. That's their function.
You don't have a seat at the table; you're on the menu.
EVERY quisling faces this material reality at some point. Unfortunately, it's usually far after they've helped usher in fascism.
