Why? If the Nazi tattoo, sex pesting and slur usage didn't move the needle then nothing will. Dude didn't even run for local office prior to this.

zionist hasbara propagandists…like his stepbrother?

If you find someone saying things like "mental health care is a form of gender affirming care! Trans youth need to understand their transitions." Or "not presenting all options is harmful" when the "options" in question are "mental health care" instead of HRT, you've found a TERF.

I’m so glad you’re getting smoked for this shit. What a repugnant asshole thing to do

Meltdown May never ended

This is fucking cope from someone who absolutely knows the fuck better. Fuck you.

Oh ffs, come on? Why don’t you just start calling folks “smoothgroins” while you’re at it?

This is the exact same shit they do to you. wtf is wrong with you?

I wish academics would stop doing this insipid punditry. If people are acting like Nazis I'm going to call them Nazis! www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

When these people insist the mere presence of people unlike them is an attack on them, their country, or their rights, this is exactly the outcome they are seeking, and disappointment among far right Trumpists is largely that he failed to produce events like this here. www.yahoo.com/news/us/arti...

I may be the one on trial today ... but the real crime is what ICE officers have been doing at 26 Federal Plaza for the last year.

xenophobic mass violence against black residents in Belfast www.bbc.com/news/live/cr...

I get the impression that some people aren't clear what this means. This is the UK state deciding to intervene directly in the healthcare of individual children, depriving them of medicine that their doctors have prescribed for their personal health & wellbeing, in defiance of global best practice.

This is what the republicans in my county are scared of and somehow the democrats can’t come up with a strategy to defeat them. Completely inept

Sick of "legitimate concerns". "I'm scared of black people" isn't a "legitimate," it's just racism. "LGBT people make me irrationally angry" isn't "legitimate," you just fear difference. It's not legitimate to wish you lived in a country with only people who are exactly like you.

it says right on the tin that this is a fucking republic. as a purely technical matter we are supposedly in charge of this fucking thing. we cannot continue to allow the worst elements of human society to turn their worst impulses into global policy. this is a matter of human self preservation

prediction markets doing press and paying people to make society trust they’re accurate, then giving someone the trump admin has hailed as a “journalist” a paid sponsorship post to cast doubt on elections is horrifying. prediction markets need to be made illegal immediately

i have absolutely fucking had it with 100% of all of this shit. gambling websites, lies, cryptocurrency, rampant corruption, lies, deep fakes, lies, plagiarism, devaluation of expertise, lies, bile, abuse, violence, bombs, genocides, lies, plutocrats, oligarchs, and lies. fucking enough. rules time

Refreshing to see a candidate for higher office talk like this

The entire country and the world is being told in order to get along we need to pretend they have a valid point and sacrifice our own freedom, happiness, and lives to appease them. Why would I do that?

It’s genuinely galling to have very savvy people continuously demand we subsume our own thinking these people without a basic grasp of reality. I’m told that I *have* to ignore what I know for a “middle ground” with these people on abortion, immigration, Black people in college, etc. it’s an insult.

not polite to call some people stupid, but it is genuinely a party of stupid people

Statement from @brianstraw.bsky.social attorney Christopher Parente on the grand jury transcripts released today, five weeks after our first motion to compel grand jury transcript disclosure to Judge Perry.

I hate the whole framing of the "putting trans kids on hormones" debate CIS KIDS ARE ON HORMONES TOO. They just came free with their puberty. It's the same hormones, as well. And if the kid is intersex in a way that means their body doesn't make sex hormones, guess what we do? PUT THEM ON HORMONES

In 2024, we passed Amendment 79, putting abortion rights in the Colorado Constitution without gestational limits, and lifted a 40 year ban on public insurance coverage for abortion care. We won with 62% of the vote statewide, including a majority in *all eight Congressional districts.*

NYT opinion editors publish these types of things *because* progs will tweet angrily about it, which they interpret as, "this writer gets the right people angry, this writer is provocative, this writer gets talked about." Angry tweets only confirm/reward their initial instinct to publish this stuff.

one might almost conclude that "conspiracy theories" are intentional distractions from actual conspiracies

"[Most stay-at-home moms aren't the tradwives of social media; they're] just exhausted, low-income moms who can’t afford child care. 'The real path to becoming a tradwife,” Jessica Calarco, a sociologist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, told me, 'is typically through economic precarity.'"

Can you point out any screeching I’ve done or even called you a name, or have I been gently trying to get you to realize you are replying to a gay trans woman doing a silly wordplay joke to an audience of tens of thousands of other leftists who instantly understood it to be a wordplay joke?

Thank you Reps LaMonica Mclver and Jahana Hayes for cosponsoring the Block The Bombs Act! The bipartisan Block The Bombs Act now has 74 supporters in Congress. Israel's genocidal actions in Gaza and Lebanon will only end the United States stands up for human rights and cuts off these weapons.

new type of acquittal just dropped

🤔 Iran held fire against Israel yesterday, after a guarantee from the US that Israel would curb its attacks in Lebanon, and the settlement of Iranian assets worth $3 billion, which were transferred on a flight from Abu Dhabi to Tehran. - Yedioth News Agency affiliated with the Revolutionary Guards.

This is so unbelievably violating that it’s impossible not to draw pretty unsettling conclusions about motivations here. They try to pass it off as just a thorough physical, but exams for athletics are about things like cardio and pulmonary health. This is not that. www2.sos.wa.gov/_assets/elec...

Obviously this is awful and I'm pleased they've got the guy who did it, but would his nationality or race have been in the push notification had he been a white Northern Irish man? In what way is his nationality important enough to the attack to make it into this one sentence summary?

Zack: “we need to end child poverty” Telegraph: “Polanski ok with adult poverty”

We're at the point where the Telegraph are literally making up quotes. I said when veg is sold for pennies in supermarkets, it's a sign someone's not being paid properly. Farmers being paid a pittance for their produce. Workers on less than a living wage in supermarkets.

Harmonie Perrone health and life was devastated by a Catholic hospital in Illinois that refused to treat her for an ectopic pregnancy, resulting in infertility and a real risk of death. Illinois is a pro-choice state but Catholic facilities can enforce shadow bans.

The tyranny of pride is coming to an end says privileged cis hetero white person from the pages of a corporate media outlet.🙄 (don't miss the color paint that is being rolled over the pride flag)

We dug deep into Americas ass hole and you won’t believe the turds we found.

Reminder: CNN hired him back and now CBS' owners the Ellisons are about to purchase CNN. Any comment he has about CBS standards specifically should come with a big disclaimer.

I think conspiracy may be a bad frame for right wing election denial because what they’re really expressing is a belief in is the idea that non-white people shouldn’t be able to vote.

It's actually more -- 1 in 3 Americans have a criminal record. We have no idea the percent arrested because it is so large.

This is an outrageous story. A farmer donated 87 acres to a small Texas city on the condition it be used as a public park. Years later, the farmer has passed away, the city sold the land to a developer, and now it will be the site of a 135,000 square foot data center www.404media.co/a-farmer-don...

It's time to end the almost 30 year Republican rule of our state so we can make healthcare more affordable, protect our communities from ICE, lower utility costs, and stop Republican efforts to suppress our vote.

Obama should have been handing Bush prison blues not candy

Maybe if Democrats weren’t so quick to forgive George W Bush for Iraq we would have been more resilient in preventing Trump from attaining power and involving us in yet another Middle East mess
