I do think a big part of the “working class man” narrative IS that the working class doesn’t actually look like blue collar white men. It looks like immigrant nurse aids in nursing homes and bookkeepers like my grandma and every other area dominated by women, often women of color.

Crazy how People is the remaining publication that just goes for the jugular.

This shit is about to get Streisand Effected into the stratosphere.

It was a profitable business in which one could *accidentally* make one million dollars. But so many of our problems now are because, while good business allowed a lot of people to get paid, focus on “growth” allowed a few people to get crazy, crazy rich. And they are in it for the plunder.

along with the huge corruption investigations, democrats need to do a million little things like this AND THEN BRAG ABOUT IT

These kinds of laws have an invisible ripple effect across the country. A good number of corporations will just change their policies instead of making a NYC-specific protocol. A lot of the consumer protections we have started in one state or big city.

there is infinite money for weapons, non-educator vice chancellors of nothingness, and tech-grift corporate welfare but zero money for teachers, libraries, tuition

Amen from all of us tired of talking about the “bad behavior by another dude” And that’s all they are, in the end. Just some other dude. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/08/u...

I want our next Dem president to bring back the WPA and just build infrastructure all across this country again. Build green energy, trains, housing, etc. We can have nice things (and nice bathrooms), but we have to invest in ourselves!

We should invent a kind of canceling where the guy goes away

I think it’s exactly this, but what’s amazing is they don’t realize that their contestation comes off to *everyone else* as a confession of a guilty conscience. Shut the fuck up — for our sake, but also yours!

A lot of men like to contest what actually counts as rape because they remember incidents in their own sex lives and they're very sure they're not rapists so clearly it's the definition of rape that is wrong

the biggest positive story on climate is that it doesn’t seem to matter how much of the world is run by reactionary fascists: the rise of solar is unstoppable

Where have all the good men gone and where are all the gods

Care to give your Appalachian friends a stroke?

Always always always always read @rtraister.bsky.social -- and especially on Graham Platner, women, and what comes next. nymag.com/intelligence...

Misogyny. This specific political tendency is called misogyny.

That is not how "law" works. A thing is lawful or not; "voters" come into the picture elsewhere, by voting for people to change the law. And this extra-judicial "voters" argument fails on its own logic: what power do voters have over a second-term President? Or have we just abandoned that law too?

"…as of July 2025, the CDC made tracking cyclospora optional, as part of scaling back its Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network. At the time, food safety experts worried that it could make it harder to identify and respond to outbreaks."

the basic humanity and safety and rights of women. And it's endemic in our culture and society. And it has to be men holding other men accountable, and we don't, not as a group, nation, society, gender, so none of us can ever be truly trusted until that changes.

This is a good moment for every man to realize why women have to be scared of every man, why it's always safer to be in the woods with a bear, why we can never, ever, ever expect people to believe "we're one of the good ones." Between the perpetrator and the apologists it's systemic disregard for

This is human trafficking not deportation

Yet another Flock mistake: a typo by LAPD flagged potentially *dozens* of new Range Rovers nationwide as stolen, in this case a MA car journalist caught up. Only originating PD can fix but they won't always bother. Cop's recommendation: don't drive this vehicle anymore 🤷‍♂️. @riaclu.bsky.social

I feel like ”he just says shit and sometimes it’s an order with the weight of the presidency and sometimes it’s not and there’s no way to know 100% until it happens for anyone including him” is not a sustainable state of affairs.

American reporters watching this, shaking their heads in horror, no, no, you can’t ask this, no

the man with the nuclear football doesn't even know what country we are purportedly at war with. the mainstream media is asleep at the wheel and the democrats are not hammering it enough. meanwhile the republicans are complicit in the ongoing degradation of america. it is tuesday.

cannot wait for the resulting memes to end up on Last Week Tonight

Weird that Elon Musk is so worried about wokeness and diversity in new movies when there's alreast a classic action/sci-fi movie with an all white cast available to watch instead

What we already know is horrific. Imagine how bad discovery would be if the government is willing to pay our fees (something the government doesn’t readily do) just to avoid it.

Mitch McConnell was in Congress during the Terri Schiavo case, so in a way it does feel like an act of delayed karmic justice if it turns out that it is in fact his turn to have the GOP puppet his corpse around to score political points rather than allowing him a peaceful exit with some dignity

This. I've been very candid about sharing my own experiences, so I will say this: Some of the harshest responses I have received after sharing my experiences have been from women, including professional colleagues. There is a real risk for coming forward. The backlash is real.

When I tear the bag where it says tear here and the bag doesn’t open

I whipped up a handy indicator.

"Don't forget about us, we're totally morally bankrupt too! Even more than FIFA actually! They're pathetically corrupt in only one sport but we're corrupt in ALL of them!"

Vile: Mike Johnson just said GOP might try to undo birthright citizenship with legislation, which is unconstitutional. I've noticed a pattern: He and Vance are using sleazy new language to sell this as a trivial reform. The threat is very much alive. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2127...

will someone please primary this fool

I will never watch soccer in the English language. Telemundo announcer is currently losing his shit and all of his voice in this Argentina-Egypt game and I can't love it more

God DAMN lmao. Feminism most vindicated social movement in history?

In better news, John Oliver's three-day stint/stunt as a corporate villain on legendary soap opera "General Hospital" appears to be going... fucking brilliantly?? I have watched this clip on a loop for like 20 mins I really, truly need to see the full episodes NOW

White men are very bad judges of character. They don’t have to be wary of anyone, so they don’t develop any instincts.

It is wild how often AI boosters are like, "well, this technology will make millions unemployed and that transformation will simply have no ramifications for class and property relations, I'll just get to keep my big bag of money."

One of the most infuriating things about this is it isn’t even the team’s FAULT—and also that doesn’t matter, everyone is totally right to be pissed at us, it is completely appropriate to want us to eat shit The worst people on Earth will deny us all joy and pleasure unless they are overthrown

i’m no expert, but the u.s. goalie was rather far from the goal, no?

This feels like a good time to note that, indeed, USWNT is the winningest team in international sports history (win percentage: 84) the18.com/en/soccer-en...

ETTD, World Cup Edition

If the bad ones got actual consequences for bad behavior we wouldn’t have to suspect every single guy we meet is going to be a bad one. It would really be a better situation for most guys, I promise.

Yes, and, the work of establishing democratic freedom on earth will not be done until rape culture lies in ashes

How can one be a scientist in this world and not be an activist?

This alone should be a decade-defining political scandal resulting in prison sentences.
