honestly really disappointed and disgusted in Sanders/Warren/Khanna for backing Platner so long, even after the initial credible allegations against him y'all are supposed to be better than this

here's a wild idea for the Vote Blue No Matter Who crowd we actually *do* have purity tests, such as if you have a nazi tattoo you're not allowed in the fucking party

Graham Platner has been accused of sexual assault. He needs to drop out. www.politico.com/news/2026/07...

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

Thinking machines are so forbidden in Warhammer 40k that the most common kind of personal computer is a lobotomized cyborg prisoner

i find it very funny that, canonically, the last character in this comic strip would be required by his belief system to murder you the instant you admitted to having used any kind of AI for any purpose

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

is Mitch McConnell even like, *alive?*

I kinda wish we'd retire this talking point tbh. They're coming for everyone. They hate everyone. They specifically hate trans people tho, more and above everything else. They're not a stepping stone to more oppression, and they're not pawns in your political chess games, they're people.

this disgusts me almost past my ability for words, the fact they can acknowledge he's fought for and expanded trans rights LGBT rights and still throw him out for what? he has every progressive position on Israel! throw him out because he is a Jew...

This is genuinely evil. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/26/u...

turns out mobilizing and actually campaigning is more effective than hand-wringing

It looks like all three congressional candidates endorsed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani will win their primaries. A major political victory for Mamdani. Claire Valdez — NY-7 Brad Lander — NY-10 Darializa Avila Chevalier — NY-13

okay so I made an instagram account to share my art it has been banned by instagram with no reason beyond generic "rules violation" cited given they asked me *twice* to verify my identity, I suspect I got mistakenly flagged as a bot I do not see a route to even talking to a human about it

The Venn diagram of “air conditioning is inherently evil” weirdos and ecofascist “let the excess population die to save the earth” weirdos is basically a circle, as I’ve had reiterated to me many times over the last few years.

Humans are pretty good at finding solutions to problems when the will is there, and I do in fact believe we can find ways to counter climate change while also using air conditioning technologies to ensure millions don’t cook to death in the process.

Obviously I am very much on board with using sustainable solutions paired WITH air conditioning to both slow climate change and save lives - but if you believe that *not* widening access to air conditioning is worth the price of millions of horrible deaths, you’re a fucking ghoul.

The main reason I’ve become such a “air conditioning is an essential life saving technology” advocate is because I was horrified to find out how many people seem to think that letting millions die during heat waves without it is better “for the greater good” of slowing climate change.

why does bluesky have garbage kerning when I use system fonts

Working class service worker Democrats are out of touch elite While wealthy car dealership owners, nepo OK politicians with (luxury) pickup trucks, gangs of corrupt $500,000 year police officers, white farmer millionaires (and not actual indigenous farmers) are true "heartland" American herrenvolk

Buttigieg: We sit in a in a country that's got the wrong number of people on the Supreme Court, possibly the wrong number of representatives in the House of Representatives. And by the way, when you consider the disenfranchisement of the people of DC, we have the wrong number of states in the US

Talarico saying he's against "gender reassignment surgery for minors" to lots of nodding and impressed gestures from the Barro/Yglesias crowd and a lot of the politics press is, I think, a great example of how much the well has been poisoned on trans healthcare

Do I need mastercard to be my friend? No Do I need them to fear what will happen to their revenue stream if they are homophobic? Yes.

I've mostly come around to "it was probably good that they pretended to care and it's a bad sign that they don't because they don't think they'll lose money"

I mean no disrespect but I can't believe we're still pretending "corporations never cared about Pride" is an interesting thing to say. even during peak corp Pride I think you had to be exceptionally dim to not get what was going on lol like yeah I think I know Chipotle would kill me for a nickel

“Corporations don’t care about pride” Corporations don’t care about the things they sell lol. Do you think chipotle is like a guy who loves burritos

Platner’s sexting scandal has been a bat-signal for misogyny among certain “progressive” men. Ken Kippenstein called his critics and other mainstream Democrats “smoothgroins.” Kyle Kulinski said Platner could sext his mother. I wrote about it all here: www.liberalcurrents.com/the-men-defe...

assaulting a woman is a minor vice, scolding a man is unforgivable

i know it's been said before but it really hurts to hear things like "they won't stop at trans people" "this will hurt more than just trans people" "trans people were just the beginning" like ok thanks for reminding me that we are the acceptable sacrifices and that the REAL people will be harmed too

Jesus Christ. Apparently in the new Scary Movie, the Black non-binary character is stabbed to death on a train after saying “my pronouns are they/them” and a crowd stab them saying “fuck your pronouns!” Legit a hate crime against the most vulnerable minority in real life for fucking “comedy”.

Racists can still be the victims of intimate-partner violence corroborated by their own records and barely denied by the alleged perpetrator.

the accusations pretty plainly include assault, champ

*taps earpiece* I'm told that giving a shit about violence against women is a psyop and bourgeois

Physically forcing your partner into a room and then physically preventing them from leaving for the night is a crime and intentional tort called false imprisonment, the article here includes a very classical description of an occurrence of domestic violence

I think a lot of people decided early on that supporting Graham Platner was cool and not liking him was cringe. So now whenever new bad behavior of his gets exposed, people are going to reframe that bad behavior as cool and people arguing against it as cringe. Because everyone is, of course, 12

well I'm sure *this* latest news is the last bad thing that will come out about the rape enthusiastic serial liar SS tattoo-having failson cheat.

Oh my god...

I now have an estimate for how every single dissemination block in BC voted in the 2025 federal election

(Reposting this from Twitter :p) Hey! Wanted everyone to know that I've a stroke and that I'm well on my way to recovery Thanks y'all ❤️

I now have an estimate for how every single dissemination block in BC voted in the 2025 federal election

A limerick. Based on a true story.

I ranked Heather McPherson first however I have a lot of respect for Lewis for bringing attention to the struggles that people with disabilities face in Canada, how inadequate government support is, and how hostile the government is to those seeking said support.

bluesky staff trying to block gAI-haters because they're so salty and embarrassed at being yelled at for using Claude to break their own website only to be found out because the users who were blocked couldn't access their TL feeds is funnier than anything I can come up with and that annoys me

mapped out the swing implied by the by-elections

please Terrebonne do it again it would be so funny

oh the Tories just all their votes gone
