A party that couldn't endorse Mamdani. . . has room for Marjorie Taylor Greene The party can burn in hell

Feels like it should be bigger news that a journalist known for being loud about her investigations into banks/payment processors appears to be getting financially stonewalled by the entire industry unaminously right now.

Ana decided to call out payment processors and their unilateral response was attempting to fuck up her life and that should be bigger news than it is as of now

People getting mad here about anyone saying it's good that MTG and Trump are fighting. I teach democratization every semester. The first slide says 'elite fracture.' That's always where it starts. It's good when people with bad politics are fighting one another.

Need an analog to the “police passive” for this kind of description of sexually abusive men “being Me Tooed”—as if they were merely caught in a storm, their own actions and behavior irrelevant to their outcomes. Call it the predator passive.

they can come into the tent when they admit they were wrong and change their views we all joke about Woke Bill Kristol but he is for the most part the perfect example - he has, legitimately, become much more progressive you can’t bring in people who are mad he’s not delivering on horrible shit

I’m going to be honest with you: The headline is appalling, but the piece, which indeed has an absolutely bizarre tone of nostalgia, is worse.

Jeffrey Epstein doesn’t exist in a vacuum. He implicates the ruling class, the way they do business, and the whole capitalist system. www.jphilll.com/p/epstein-im...

Rodney King Riot Videos Reveal a Lost Los Angeles

So they want the government to force Christianity on us,but not feed poor people. It's about control, not Christianity. They just use it because its the dominant religion in America, and it gets those idiots to vote for them.

this line from cloud is in my head at least once a day

When the US liberated Nazi concentration camps, many queer people stayed in prison because they were seen as having broken the law. Indeed, Paragraph 175, which criminalized gay intercourse in Weimar Germany & had been expanded to include intent by the Nazis, was not abolished by the US after WWII.

Agree. Summers engaging in friendly gossipy 100% sexist emails with underage-girls-sex-trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, long *after* Epstein had been indicted, shows remarkably poor judgement and hubris. Professional economists should openly question people and institutions that honor Summers.

not feeling the direction of this reboot of my old work frankly

Rudy Bridges is younger than the Sitting President of the United States and 29 sitting United States Senators

Buttigieg polled an impressive 0% with Black voters. Zero. Percent. Do you know how kind and friendly Black voters are? Everyone gets like 3%, just for showing up! You have to work to go down from there! It's 2025, And I still run into people that don't know why Black voters don't like Buttigieg.

When you got caught sucking off bill clinton and need to get back on your wife’s good side

Just how morally, ethically, intellectually bankrupt do you have to be to argue that 15-year-olds can sell sex but can’t affirm gender

Move SCOTUS out of DC, and you take away the parties, the operas, easy access to fancy black-tie dinners funded by right wing institutions w ready access to cheap RVs. I bet Kav’s desire to hurt Latinos can’t stand up to Chilis being the high-end restaurant.

What I first said in sarcasm I increasingly think is a real thing to consider: Move SCOTUS to a strip mall in rural Kansas. We can’t fire them. Impeachment* is functionally dead. The 18-yr term thing is a fantasy. But we can kill a lot of their perks. Bet Kav would retire fast.

Sick to my stomach that the President being mixed up with a horrifying global network of pedophiles is considered a 'voter issue' and not something the whole world needs to know about and people need to be prosecuted for. Only reason anyone would want people to ignore Epstein is if you're involved

Not that I believe really anything Nuzzi writes, given her record, but the far bigger scandal here is her claim that RFK Jr. was still actively using psychedelics last year, then became HHS secretary in an admin that is killing people for smuggling recreational drugs.

Before anyone gets too carried away here.

if i gotta see one more lib post going after the republicans for their hypocrisy re: epstein i will go crazy. they're not being hypocritical they're finally being honest. the sexualisation and exploitation of young women and girls is absolutely accepted as normal in our culture

The owner of this business is a old, wonderful friend & a former employer of mine, so please, I need all of my Pacific Northwest followers keeping an eye out for this stuff, especially if you run in nerd circles, so that his dream business, built via decades of grinding, can keep running.

As a child, scriptural condemnations of false teachers, idols, demons, illusory paths to eternal life, had always struck me as the most provincial and historically contingent part of religion, of little value to people as modern and wise and free as I thought we were. Can see now that I was wrong.

So… A BP agent filmed in LA in June kidnapping someone from a Walmart got arrested by Long Beach cops after drunkenly flashing his service pistol in a women’s restroom. He demanded they call BP Commander Bovino. After making bail he died of a drug OD at his parents house. lbpost.com/news/isaiah-...

hey guys check this out

I do not want to “Do my own research.” I want to pay trained accredited experts to do the research, trained accredited experts to report on findings, and trained accredited experts to make policy based on them. I am busy af with my own job, I don’t need to do eight zillion more.

too much of the economy now is not built around solving a problem or meeting a need

Here an underage girl testifies that Epstein vaginally and anally raped her before beating her in fury because Trump had taken her virginity before he could.

Whether it’s Barack Obama, appearing in a tan suit or Donald Trump appearing 1700 times in Jeffrey Epstein‘s emails, both presidents made some highly controversial appearances.

it's so funny how trump keeps keeps threatening to go after bill clinton if this epstein stuff doesn't go away but no one cares

There is a new Google ad depicting a world where everyone is carrying around a soft-serve ice cream cone. At the end, they show someone talking to their Pixel phone, and end with “everything else is vanilla.” I… I want to live in the ice cream universe 🥲

those of us laid off from Teen Vogue were really fortunate to complete our fundraising goal — the laid-off staffers at VIBE deserve the same support, as Black media outlets and journalists continue to be targeted and discriminated against in “austerity” measures

Why isn’t Pennywise at GamemasterAnthony’s Birthday? The answer is more complicated than you think.

WE WON. I am *begging* you to take note of who did this. *Not* UCLA admin—they’re still scuttling around behind closed doors, attempting to appease—but FACULTY AND STAFF, led by AAUP.

I am begging America to not be stupid enough to embrace a racist and an antisemite because Donald Trump thinks she's a meanie. Just grab some popcorn and watch the Nazis fight.

It’s been a year to the day we bought (and then didn’t, for reasons we still don’t fully know) InfoWars. We’re still trying. In the year since, we built The Onion into one of the biggest newspapers in the United States. I’m so proud of this place. I’m proud we do hard stuff. Thank you for caring.

This is why I am so vehemently down on people scaremongering the trans community. The assault on the trans community is one on our dignity, trying to drive us to suicide. Scaremongering does their work for them. Repeat after me: I am too punk to kill myself when my government wants me to.

my favorite part of the deal is how not only did the democrats get shivved by their own for not even what they originally demanded, but they walked away with losses on even more things

Congressional republicans have been spewing racist attacks on Mamdani for weeks and it’s almost never mentioned in our media. Not only that, the person leading the hate campaign—Randy Fine—is treated by the same media as a good faith expert on antisemitism. I wrote about this obscene double standard

I have no words for the incandescent rage at the casual erasure of disabled folks, because this shit happens far too often. @sfdirewolf.bsky.social was fierce about living life & speaking truth in ways we can all learn from. Honour her memory by masking up & protecting public health.

this story was sort of lost in the last few days of the epstein news but it’s wild how many republicans appear to be pedophiles or okay with pedophilia

What an asshole

This is your reminder that Pete was mayor when two historic Black firsts took their positions (fire chief, police chief) and both had resigned under pressure from racists before the end of his tenure. Pete did nothing to protect them. He’s been shit for a very long time!
