HRC cooked the Republicans in their deposition of her.
Of serious interest was when she pointed out that republicans, in all the people they deposed NEVER asked questions about Epstein or Maxwell or the Victims.

If he doesn't "answer to special interests," why TF is he holding a fundraiser for lobbyists for industries he's criticized?
We can't afford to blow Maine again by nominating this Blackwater Nazi who's been voting for the GOP senator he wants to run against.

Help us understand why you would voluntarily hitch your horse to his nazi tattoo wagon, because shutting up & saying nothing was an option! Logically, you're either finally announcing your nazi symapthies OR you're an irredeemably stupid son of a bitch being advised by other stupids & likely nazis.

So again, youโ€™re playing by the old rules. Thereโ€™ll be no voting our way out is this. If you read Project 2025, youโ€™d know that future elections of consequence will skew toward MAGA victory.

Your quarterly scheduled โ€œNo Kingsโ€ gatherings are not doing a damn thing to stop Project 2025. 52% now..

They never tire of using Black and Brown folks to show how not-racist and "woke" they are, while doing harm to those same Black and Brown folks.

Wow. The U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem tells Americans theyโ€™re on their own.

But are we really in need of more lies from the psychopath beyond the distorted menu heโ€™s already tossed out? Maybe we need emphasize the fact that heโ€™s just plainly in over his head and surrounds himself with idiots. That he and Hegseth have fired every single military leader in their midst.

Now U.S. has closed two embassies in Mideast & told Americans in 14 countries to leave. But most airspace is shut down, there are no flights. Reading about people from around the world stranded.

Why are they only now telling Americans to leave? No planning, they werenโ€™t expecting it to spiral.

Fair. But some of the later episodes are really good and really audacious and over-all I loved it. But admittedly I saw it all before the Jonathan Majors stuff hit.

Racism should be enough, but I wish the people that gloss over racism would learn that it is the canary in the coal mineโ€”the litmus testโ€”that tells us who these people are, they *always* wind up deeply, deeply problematic and thwart real
progress down the road. Or maybe thatโ€™s what the glossers want

The entire focus and budget of this half demolished White House is unbridled domestic terror upon Americans and war crimes in every hemisphere.

I am on a โ€œTransmisogynyโ€ list specifically because I said that trying to harass Black people out of their jobs and driving them off this website is racist behavior. The person who put me on it even explicitly said they were doing it as an act of revenge for that.

Target Sales Just Fell Again. Now Its New CEO Plans for Turnaround. Michael Fiddelke will present his proposal to fix things at Tuesdayโ€™s investor meeting

The new CEO is probably being paid a lot of money to miss the very simple answer: get woke again.

Reminder: It is profoundly immoral for anyone to subscribe to the Washington Post. If you have a subscription, you should cancel it immediately. You can easily do that with just a few clicks.

This isn't "cogent debate" or "contrasting opinions." This is just deranged fascist nonsense.

And things like the scene where Shane watches Ilya win the cup. It hits totally different the second time, when he yells "for you mama!" (in Russian). There are so many moments like that, where a moment is recontextualized on a subsequent viewing because of what you know now.

Iโ€™m running for the U.S. Senate because Iโ€™ve got the experience it takes to beat Susan Collins, and the backbone to stand up to the President.

Thank you for being in this fight with me โ€” together, we will give Maine the leadership it deserves.

Alright white people, if you didnโ€™t get out to vote early in Texas, tomorrow is your chance to prove to Black & Brown people that you are the progressive allies you claim to be. Tomorrow will probably be riddled with long voting lines. Prepare ahead of time. Have an ID & VOTE for JASMINE CROCKETT.

Sometimes, palling around with self-professed rac*sts because youโ€™re just *that* edgy makes you a piece of human garbage.

Sometimes, defending human garbage makes you trash by association.

Episode five is ranked among the top three all time best TV show episodes in history, and deservedly so. And episode six is just a perfect capstone to the season (it has both the most laughs, and the most tears).

A lot of straight guys won't even consider watching it, and that's such a huge loss.

In 1948, James Peterson was lobotomized for being gay. His parents committed him after discovering his love for another man. The asylum labeled it โ€œsexual perversionโ€ and โ€œtreatedโ€ him with a transorbital lobotomyโ€”ice picks hammered above his eye sockets into his frontal lobe. 

It took just 15 minutes, but it erased his vibrant, artistic spirit forever. The doctor assured his parents: โ€œYour sonโ€™s perversion is corrected.โ€ 

What returned was an empty shellโ€”no desires, no passions, not even for life.

Entry wounds above his eyes, a vacant stare where intelligence once shone. The doctor notes: โ€œPatient calm, no deviant interests. Success.โ€
But that โ€œcalmโ€ was brain damage; the โ€œsuccessโ€ was personality murder. James never painted, laughed, or loved again. He lived 46 more years in a group home, a hollow routine without preferences or joy, dying in 1994 at 74. His parents visited once, saw the void theyโ€™d created, and never came back. To them, a son who was nothing beat one who was gay.

This event wasnโ€™t isolated. Churches offered their own brutal โ€œtreatmentsโ€ to โ€œfixโ€ homosexuality. In the 1970โ€™s, Brigham Young University (BYU), tied to the Mormon Church, subjected gay students to electroshock aversion therapyโ€”zapping them while showing same-sex images, conditioning pain with desire. Other faiths pushed exorcisms to cast out โ€œdemons,โ€ or intense prayer sessions claiming to pray away the gay, often leading to self-harm or suicide. These werenโ€™t cures; they were trauma disguised as salvation.

Weโ€™ve come farโ€”conversion therapy is banned in many places, and love is increasingly celebrated. But remember James and countless others: their stories fuel our fight for dignity. 

No one should be โ€œtreatedโ€ for being themselves.
