Apparently Tumblr is having a meltdown because a pedophile got banned, but said pedophile was a trans woman, so now we have to make this about transmisogyny when it has absolutely nothing to do w that.

I get sad when I see sun dried tomatoes on examples of cringe "dated" food trends because it's got to be one of the best tomato innovations in tomato history.

"If one of the most anti-abortion states in America can muster only a sliver of support for total bans, what does that tell you about how popular abortion rights really are? Just as important: if deep red states don’t want abortion banned, who does?" jessica.substack.com/p/abortion-b...

Funny how Bernie Sanders is allowed to praise Donald Trump but Hakeem Jeffries is not 😗 komonews.com/news/nation-...

Every day I look around and in every way it seems to me that people in general are just getting more and more stupider.

Immigration is the one issue that always trips me up because I just cannot imagine caring as much as the rest of the electorate seems to. "They're entering the country without papers!!" Ok. "They could be violent!!" Ok so arrest them if they hurt people?

So we can have a meltdown and primary Hakeem Jefferies for voicing support for Trump's immigration policy, but with Bernie we just have to ignore it?

TN07 is a story about gerrymandering: the GOP cracked Nashville into 3 districts when it redrew the 2022 map, destroying the Dem seat there. Fast-forward: a section of Nashville, which just 5 years ago had a Dem representative, is now voting Dem by huge margins but it's been designed to not matter.

They gave you the playbook.. they even put it online… and you still lost

I wish all figures of authority cared about moms and babies. But some don’t. Some even want you to hurt. And those are the people who cast doubt on the vaccination miracle that has allowed so many of us to live longer and better. kentuckylantern.com/2025/11/25/t...

Mine include this and also “I will never forgive most of you.”

Libbing out is such a fun term. Love to lib out. "That was made to make fun of you" don't care, I like it, it's mine now.

My thanksgiving contributions this year: Mac n cheese and roasted mixed veggies. Mac was a blend of sharp cheddar, gruyère, and white cheddar. Veggies were brussels, carrot, sweet potato, and red onion. Smoked paprika & garlic forward spice blend.

I've said this before but it bears repetition: the consequence of allowing bigotry & other cruelty into your coalition is that everyone starts to stand up for one another a lot less. That's one reason why tolerance of bigotry &/or cruelty is the antithesis of good antifascism.

After Tierra Walker died, her family was confused by her medical care. “They didn’t want to offer to end the pregnancy, because the government or someone says you can’t?” her aunt said. “So you’d rather let somebody die?”

The fact doomers have gone from "America is over" to "Dems won't hold anyone responsible when this is over" can actually be read as an optimistic signal imo.

For those LGBTQ+ people disowned by their birth families, I hope you've managed to find a chosen family to spend the Holidays with... people who are supportive and like and love you for YOU, being exactly who you are. You are not defined by the ignorant & hateful bigotry of others. Ever.

When free Palestine/Hamas supporters say it’s a resistance and they’re freedom fighters. Ask them what part of raping dead corpses is resistance and how exactly does that Free Palestine?

We used to just have finstas for this.

Happy #caturday from the snuggliest little girl this side of the Mississippi.

This is what pisses me off so much. Harris-Cheney was a war crime. Mamdani-trump is awesome.

Watch our reporter Lizzie Presser discuss Tierra Walker's story on @msnowreports.bsky.social: “What I want to be clear about is that this isn’t a bug in these [abortion ban] laws, this is a feature ... Anti-abortion activists have fought hard to keep health exceptions outside of these laws.”

Reminder I stopped calling myself anyone's "ally" years ago when I realized it's not my place to declare myself one. It is on my actions to be seen as one.

Thinking about doing a thread of book recommendations for some mutuals on here. I've picked up a few here and there that people have referenced, but I'd love to put together a little "library" of sorts w useful books and information about our current political reality.

Tierra Walker should still be alive. I can't stop feeling so angry and sick. This didn't have to happen. She should be alive. She should be with her son.

I wrote something about ProPublica's latest devastating report jessica.substack.com/p/propublica...

Republicans might not care about their own hypocrisy, but they sure do care about being publicly humiliated. Weaponize it.

While I'm endlessly grateful for their reporting, I can't help but be furious that only @jessicavalenti.bsky.social & @propublica.org seem to be taking abortion rights coverage seriously.

Texas' abortion ban has killed yet another woman. Here's exactly what the anti-abortion response will be: They’ll claim doctors were legally allowed to “intervene” or “treat” Tierra Walker with "care." They won't say she could have had an abortion because they don’t believe in life-saving abortions

NEW: ProPublica has found multiple cases of women with underlying health conditions who died when they couldn’t access abortions. Tierra Walker, a 37-year-old mother, was told by doctors there was no emergency before preeclampsia killed her.

i am going to continue to maintain that normal people hate this shit, and people will *especially* hate *this* shit

I don’t care what happens with the Texas legislative maps. Democrats should still gerrymander the shit out of blue states.

This all-male panel is deciding whether South Carolina women can be charged with murder for their pregnancies — and whether birth control and pro-choice websites stay legal. This a real thing happening today. Don't look away.

Republicans doing something abhorrent Blue sky leftists trying to connect it to the democrats somehow:

A South Carolina woman who police say tried to end her pregnancy with medication has been arrested and charged with attempted murder and child neglect. Don't miss this story from @kylietcheung.bsky.social jessica.substack.com/p/south-caro...

I'm old enough to remember when the Biden Administration and Democrats were moving forward to reschedule cannabis to Schedule III. But both sides are the same, amirite? www.cnbc.com/2025/11/13/c...

Idk man, sure it's great that the pope hates Trump's immigration policy, but I don't think it's good to put him on a pedestal when we're seeing a huge rollback of women's rights and heightened maternal mortality.

For going on 2 years people said loudly, you are being fed information from a terrorist organization. A lot of you decided to negate the truth and lean into your antisemitism.

And the white people who stayed home and rolled over for Trump? They're blameless, suddenly?

Nothing angers people more than a single and childfree woman who has no regrets about being single and childfree. We get called bitter, masculine and everything but children of God. The concept of a woman being happy with herself is a concept so foreign to people (men and women alike).

An anti-abortion protester has shot someone outside of a South Carolina Planned Parenthood. My source says one person was injured and taken to the hospital—and that the protester was arrested. More soon.

Leftists have a lot of opinions on who the Dem nominee in 2028 should be for a group of people who don't show up to vote.

How easily the comfortable spend the lives of the vulnerable.

I can't help but notice those accounts whining loudest about "DEMS CAVING AGAIN AS USUAL" are mostly privileged white men, backed up by a bunch of privileged white women. You know, the people least likely to be affected either way. Curious.

also, like, the die for pain was cast a year ago. the pain will continue for, at minimum, another three years. every choice now is between only bad options, and people will suffer no matter what choice is made, and senators cannot and should not be immune to that.

Once again…too many people thought that what’s happening in this country could never happen here. If folks would have voted accordingly in November of 2024 we wouldn’t be here. IDGAF who this statement pisses of either. THEY TOLD Y’ALL THEY WOULD DO ALL OF THIS BUT Y’ALL STILL GAVE THEM POWER🤷🏾‍♀️

what he actually said was that mamdani doesn’t need his help and that he doesn’t live in new york but that he thought the race was very exciting and that cuomo disqualified himself, but, you know, hey, go ahead and make up people to get mad at if that makes your sunday morning more exciting

FUN FACT: That full refund that Delta will immediately give you, that's because of the Biden administration. They put that rule in place. Not Trump. bsky.app/profile/ones...

Regular reminder that Axios stories saying Dems are about to cave are likely sourced from GOP staffers trying to make it happen. Doesn't mean it definitely won't happen. But it's like those NYT stories that Harvard is considering caving (they haven't). The anonymous source was trying to manifest it.
