Anyway, I just want to hurl the rebel crew from the land I love the best. I don’t see why that should be controversial.

There’s some set of overlapping sexist and racist filters that seem to cause some people to be unable to hear or remember a single thing Kamala Harris has said.

Black voters, especially Black women, are the backbone of the Democrats. If this election goes how it looks it may in the south, it will be due in no small part to their efforts and their votes. I hope people start to give them the respect they’re due.

I should never be president because I would start WW3 by telling Putin "Sir, this is an Arby's" after the fifteenth time he started rambling about Borislav the Jew Slayer's 1346 claims to lower Ruthenia means the war in Ukraine is completely justified somehow.

“I mean, they came out with guns drawn for a shoplifting misdemeanor? I mean guns drawn," said Ben Crump, attorney for Kohen Wiley's family. "You will see the videos for yourself. The officers came out as if they were responding to a bank robbery or a hostage situation.” buff.ly/wJ6Jlqq

Cenk Uygur trashes Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as being friendly to the establishment and corporate Democrats, and he's basing that on AOC being the biggest donor in the party to other Democrats. He calls it "funneling" to make it sound corrupt.

I think as a society people just don't want to face what it means about us that Trump is a rapist and even though that was public information he was still elected President

Remember the early days of Covid when people were speculating on N95 masks and hand sanitizer by buying up the scarce supply and selling it for inflated prices; but then we made so many masks and so much hand sanitizer that you could get them super cheap? We could do that for housing if we wanted.

American institutions (and individuals) have more often than not punished Indigenous children and Black and Brown children— actual children— as adults, while excusing the behavior of white men. But hearing a white man calling his actions at 53 a "youthful indiscretion" really takes the cake.

Kamala Harris knows this and she is telling people that in advance so they won't get their hopes up thinking the newly seated Democratic Senate will be able to *literally* remove Trump from office and toss him in jail. She is smarter than you because she knows this and you should shut up.

These folks will see a clear pattern where almost all the queer people who reach national politics are relatively moderate-coded normies and declare that they aren't out of touch, it's the people winning elections who are wrong

It's amazing how editors will say "we can't see inside this public figure's mind," "we can't assume their intentions" — and then write stuff like this.

Your daily reminder that progressive Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny is an American citizen and MAGA lunatic Nicki Minaj is not.

Reminder that Litman was big on Platner

The fact there is even a debate over why Putin invaded Ukraine is kind of remarkable.

This makes me think of a conversation I had with a then-friend in 2016 who intended to vote third party Him: I guess the difference between us is, you accept this system, and I don’t Me: yeah, you’re a cishetwhiteman. You GET to pretend the system is optional. You’re showing your massive privilege

A month ago I watched witness video of ICE agents tearing a man out of a car in Chicago. There was a child in the back seat and the woman in the passenger seat was crying and praying to God for mercy

Essentially every corner of the Democratic Party except for mainstream liberals started smoking meth after Harris lost and believed the only way to win after this was to nominate and appeal to their fellow ideological tweakers. Liberals just kept doing the work though. And we're seeing the results.

It is genuinely funny that on the eve of the biggest Democratic midterm victory in 20 years they announce they are no longer covering the midterms because it's simply too depressing and they no longer believe in the federal government.

Does he mean the metal detectors MAGAts congressman wanted removed from the Capitol so they could walk around with concealed weapons and allow an insurrection against the United States? Those metal detectors?

Michigan’s Red Flag Law has saved lives. Doug Lloyd’s plan to get rid of it is unconscionable. I am proud to support @esavit.bsky.social to be our next Attorney General. Eli is someone who understands the impact of these laws and knows that there is still so much more work to do.

Today marks 8 years since the Tree of Life Massacre in Pittsburgh. May their memories be a blessing.

Much easier for the media to lock in on faux Cheesecake Factory outrage than a House Dem report indicating Todd Blanche basically told Ghislaine Maxwell "stop talking" when she was about to discuss a girl that could more closely tie Trump to Epstein

They literally filled in their own public pools so as not to be forced to swim with Black folks. White people have been fucking this country up in ways large and small because they’d rather hate Black people than love themselves.

Thank you, President Joe Biden and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. www.governor.ny.gov/news/governo...

691 words about Cheesecake. 434 words about rape.

Trump is a violent rapist pedophile felon and the American media along with his voters don't give a shit.

"How are we gonna achieve true political power if we keep setting ourselves back by winning all these elections?" she pleaded as everyone stared awkwardly

As a southerner, it's immensely weird how many people are in denial about southern white people deciding after 1964 they liked racism more than money. Like...I'm not sure how you look at the counties that flipped from being Dem in 1960 to being Goldwater and Wallace and conclude anything else

I’m almost 40 and have lived in Oklahoma my whole life. The amount of people (family or not) I’ve heard say “I may be poor but at least I’m not a (you know what word they said)” or some version of that over my lifetime makes it obvious why they vote the way they do

Wasn't the while point of Obama's thing to call for bottom up organizing and people just...didnt do it? They wanted him to just wave a magic wand.

These people don’t want to win; they don’t even want to persuade. They want a world where they are a pure and rarified elite, with none of the responsibilities of actual power, only the smug gratification of being right.

White voters remain the problem.

Again. Show me the Republicans making these posts.

Between 2015 and 2025, at least 15 children in an Idaho faith-healing sect died of treatable conditions. State law allows that to happen: Parents who say their faith prohibits giving their children lifesaving medical care can’t be prosecuted.

Excited to find out why this is bad

except for all of those legacy admissions right
