Personally, I think the idea that all women should be measured by the failures of Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris is actually a sort of sexist doomerism.

It’s wild that you can just openly bribe the President of the United States with chunks of gold to get whatever you want, it’s fine, you don’t have to hide it, just say “I am bribing the President with gold,” zero consequences.

If I had to predict a high-impact story that is flying under the radar now but will play a big role in next year's major federal and state elections in the U.S., it'll be electricity prices and data centers. Easy-to-understand affordability and corruption story.

The attorney general and the FBI director, a manosphere podcaster bro, pulled into the situation room a member of Congress best known for getting kicked out of a Beetlejuice musical for drunkenly giving her date a handy, in order to pressure her about the president's child sex trafficking scandal.

The “winners” of capitalism are lonely, unhappy, and destructive. They can’t even perform faux-happiness. That’s what fascism brings to the forefront. Capitalism is annihilation and it steals everything human and good and juices it of all its worth. These assholes are instructive, cautionary tales.

People fucking hate this guy. They fucking hate ICE. They fucking hate how much power he has. He is at 63% overall disapproval to 37% approval. That's lower than their poll after January 6th. And this poll was done before he started intentionally starving people. I wish our media would reflect this.

Hi, I'm a freelance Democratic party strategist in your mentions. After we protect trans rights by banning them from sports, we should move on to protecting abortion rights by restricting bodily autonomy. Next, we'll reign in ICE by getting tough on the border.
