listen--the internet is absolute hell for survivors of sexual assault right now. but use this opportunity to shut people out of your lives that would post things like the statements in the screenshot.

emmanuel is so ruthlessly cynical that this is basically telling you where the typical democratic voter is on american aid to israel

anyway solidarity with all the laid off programmers and designers who make games people love. you are valuable and valued. fuck these bosses.

a rebuttal to ken’s bullshit:

what a fucking asshole

looks like ken's being a little bitch on twitter

what a fucking asshole

all right now i’m cheering for belgium to win it all

donald trump is literally a court proven rapist

Those of us who don’t spend 8 hours a day bathing in Elon Musk’s subconscious were better equipped to recognize a Nazi tattoo as a bit of red flag.

Among other things, the latest turn in the Platner story is a good example of why journalists need to get off X for professional and personal reasons, not just ethical ones. The writers who gassed his campaign up and now need to walk it back are mostly people who cooked their brains on X.

look, bluesky isn't the maine electorate, and maybe we aren't representative of the general democratic electorate but we sure were right about this guy, so

I am so fucking tired of woman having to stand on a national stage and tear their hearts open and pour their trauma out in front of the entire country. And still not be believed. Or be told it doesn’t matter because we need her assaulter. I’m so tired of it.

“he worked for Blackwater” was the most information anyone ever needed to know what that dude was about

The next time you feel the imposter syndrome creeping in, just channel the confidence of medicore white dudes who decide to run for public office!

Man got Chotiner’d without even agreeing to an interview. Astounding

Before the whitewash comes in, a reminder that because of Mitch Mconnell American women are dying and bleeding out because they were denied abortion care. Because of McConnell the Russians were free to interfere in our elections. Because of Mitch billionaires are coddled while kids get screwed over.

Uh, they were wildly successful at stealing our social security numbers

Oh wow that is genuinely upsetting

SOMEONE MENTIONED IT. You know the rules. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPCJ...

cis society is more or less incapable of acknowledging us as people and instead can only treat us as representations of something else. every discussion about us involves a desire to supposedly decode us and the violence against us to figure out what it all Actually Means

We cis people really need to learn when to shut the fuck up, and resist the urge to debate in Trans folks’ replies.

She just voted 9-0 that trans people aren't due Constitutional rights last week.

I would kill or die for Larry

I don’t think we appreciate Zendaya & Tom Holland enough for slipping off quietly, getting married in front of close friends & family, and keeping it to themselves, keeping the media from turning it into an unavoidable circus of a media holiday. This post is unrelated to anything else. Swear.

I have made it an annual tradition to document Mark Twain’s hatred of July 4th celebrations, but I saved something special for America 250. Twain was part of the centennial celebration in Philadelphia in 1876. He was part of what the dubbed the “Congress of Authors”…

Southland Tales (Kelly, 2006)

I still think about her

Just play this clip on repeat. That's your messaging. The Trump Admin fucked all of us and they're trying to get away with it. It's that easy!

excuse me but a guy named markwayne shouldn’t be GRIPPING A STRESS BALL when he’s pissed off like some kind of candy-ass liberal. a guy named markwayne should be getting all hopped up on mountain dew and firing six bullets into the air. and it should be an accident that they only fire into the air

*banging clipboard on table* CHOT-I-NER! CHOT-I-NER!

'testosterone and the bible are the new punk rock' kinda shit your youth pastor tells you while sitting backwards on a folding chair two weeks before getting shuffled off to another ministry because a 16 year old girl tempted him into the sin of lust

It really is wild that literally every single FBI Director has been a Republican.

Gonna think about this post every time a European looks down their nose at average Americans for not simply forcing our politicians to pass gun control.

It would be cool if they applied this same energy to winning elections against Republicans.

Yeah man, being a bit out of pocket on the internet because the world is so rage-inducingly unjust is the same 'performative cruelty' as kidnapping people on the street and locking them in dog cages. You can tell what *really* bothers these guys is just the anti-imperliasm and anti-zionism.

I'm sorry, but the Democratic establishment doesn't get to say "these are low turnout primaries, they don't mean anything." Ritchie Torres, who unlike Espaillat and Goldman, *trounced* his primary challenger got a *total* of 24k votes. Chevalier got 33k Valdez got 38k Lander got 55k

they keep comparing what the dsa is doing to strategies that worked and gave the party everything they wanted which should tell you what the real objection here is

This was James Carville's advice to Democrats one month into Trump's second term:

No, there is no "nuance" about the Prairieland defendants. Anything less than total condemnation of these prosecutions and sentences is capitulation to fascism. The leopards will eat your face too

A little piece of my soul shrivels up every time I get a message laying out how another company plans to use personal data in ever encroaching ways for AI training. I got one of those emails recently from Google and blogged about it for @wired.com: www.wired.com/story/how-to...

this is more effective than any consultant driven ad campaign the jeffries wing of the party will ever create

At least this time it's usual liberal anti-socialist angst and not the gutter racism like when he won. They kept saying he still had 'a lot of work to do' to repair his relationship with the Jewish community for winning while Muslim, and never you mind how actual Jewish people voted.

Every time the establishment in NY loses they say Mamdani is going to have to "smooth things over" for ruffling feathers. Or what? You'll use the full weight of the party (lol) to undermine him and not endorse him?

I don’t know man, who is “the Democratic Party” if it’s not the voters?Democratic voters choose candidates, not party leaders. And party leaders need to listen to what voters are telling us - and right now they are demanding our party be bolder.

black and latino new yorkers are the ones who delivered tuesday’s victories and to treat them as a monolith is both condescending and extremely fucking racist!!!!

it really pisses me off when people use neurodivergence to excuse bad behavior. i understand struggling with things like boundaries but when someone does assert their boundary (and this is the most common example) the correct answer is not to treat that as some kind of ableism

Pretty telling this isn’t him saying congressional democrats have to patch things up with primary voters
