ngl it's going to be so funny if the Plätnerdämmerung ends with Collins unceremoniously losing by 4 to some rando they pulled off the bench

more and more people are saying

Asking people to understand that American dominance in women's soccer is a byproduct of Title IX, which helped foster high-level women's sports in this coontry, in stark contrast to most of the reat of the world. It's a systemic, structural thing we should be proud of.

the thing is right. £5m is _so much money_

A critical piece of context about Matt Stoller is that he used to work for Alan Grayson and Russell Brand, both of whom have been credibly accused of abusing women.

“Nice” in an intentionally condescending way for them to post that here. But also a little testament to how correct we were. I dunno how to drag the rest of the country to where we are.

It’s a criminal case! And the US is conceding legal fees!! I am indeed losing my shit!!!

this man's life was a dark warning written by Homer

Hello, Jimmy. I just wanted to stop by and let you know we won, and it was worth it. W/O James Hyde 1917-1944, 132 Squadron RAF. Shot down north of Nijmegen, 25 September 1944.

Actual leftists tend to have a zero-tolerance policy for nazis and a zero-tolerance policy for nazis means you're not on twitter.

That WSJ reporting was worth reading

I could feel it physically melting my own brain before the 2024 election. I can’t believe people are still there

i believe whatever woman has something to say about ken klippenstein.

Sick. Awesome. Thanks for that. Really preferred this to funding a Blade game by the Dishonored people or people at Obsidian having jobs.

i don't care who you are, getting dragged on bluesky and then running to twitter to post about it is bitchmade behavior

still extremely weird that putting hands on women wasn't disqualifying, it took PiV rape for the zeitgeist to shift

100% sure Ken Klippenstein has raped someone based solely on this post.

*looking at Beau and Hunter's careers* "we can recreate him in the aggregate"

This is a good point. But when it was how Biden treated the whole media, it was a strategy on top of a tactical error and a disastrous one

Shamelessly having an open affair when you’re in the middle of a Senate race is absolutely crazy lol these people think they are just completely above any consequences and accountability

Got caught for corruption. That’s gotta be a hard no.

But really what he is doing is collecting grievances for his memoir. Ofc he is cooked, ofc he is going to claim “they” ruined his life. Every hour until then is about this guy stockpiling grievances against specific dems for “betraying him” so he can talk longer on podcasts

Cannot stress enough that Platner got his career because he was a bartender at a place a lot of political journos went and they just decided to like him

NEWS OVERLOAD

Absolutely gone laughing at 'I had the equivalent of a lottery win'.

The US is not the only country capable of flubbing accountability for people like this.

none of them will realistically face career consequences since "fragile nepobaby" is a protected class these days, of course, but it'd be nice if this was the last time any of us had to hear about ryan grim or yggy or the pod save guys

god i hate this so much and it would almost certainly be the right choice

with your help, i believe we can send morris katz to the unemployment line

you just know right now some collins staffer is looking at a file on his laptop called "Platner-nword--SEND-2026-09-15.mp4" and shaking his head sadly

I assume he’s said too much anti Trump shit to do a full maga turn, but a subsequent right wing reemergence on the victimhood circuit feels preordained

he sure blew something up all right

The single most predictable course of events in human history.

Ugh, there's entirely too much rape apologetics going on right now... fuck this noise. Being drunk or having a mental illness are not excuses to commit rape. Ever. Point fucking blank. There's absolutely no excuse. Men, this test is not that fucking hard. No means fucking no.

Ruben’s not ever gonna be president

It is surreal--borderline unbelievable--to see all of these supposedly left-of-center commentators acting like this allegation suddenly changes everything. HE'S AN EX-MERCENARY WITH A NAZI TATTOO WHO POSTED MISOGYNISTIC RANTS ON REDDIT. WHAT PART OF THIS IS SURPRISING TO YOU?

Fuck all of these fucking fucks.

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

That’s pathetic.

Has anyone made a bsky apology form yet?

U didn’t believe the first accuser solely bc she was a republican. That makes you the asshole.

Re: Graham Platner, I felt like I was being punked when people acted like he wasn’t obviously dishonest and untrustworthy this entire time. Starting with the unbelievable defense of his tattoo, which I was shocked to see people fall for

The one's who propped up Graham Platner were: The Pod Save bros, Morris Katz, Ryan Grim, David Hogg, the Bernie wing, Warren, and Gallego

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

We deserve a victory lap for recognizing that pieces of shit tend to be consistently pieces of shit. You don’t get to be a tiny bit of a Nazi. You can’t be sort of a rapist. Platner was both

8 months. We’ve known the is was going to happen for 8 months.

AOC not getting behind Graham Platner looks like a chess move now.

Never support rapists.
