Well, I mean his racism, his sexism, his hypocrisy, the way he actively helped Trump win, the fact that he's constantly whining and pointing fingers without doing a damn thing to actually make any progress (and in fact, he scuttles more progress than any Dem... he killed UHC in 1993!)

An immigrant from Poland, Eve Adams came to America seeking freedom, not just from poverty but from silence. She opened a tearoom in Greenwich Village—a modest, cozy place filled with radical thinkers, queers, artists, and dreamers. It wasn’t just a place to get a cup of tea. It was a haven. And Eve, fiercely independent and openly lesbian, stood at the heart of it. But Eve did more than serve tea. She wrote a book. Lesbian Love was a slim volume of short stories that dared to speak truthfully and without apology about the lives of women who loved women. It wasn’t pornography. It wasn’t exploitative. It was intimate, honest, and deeply human. That alone was enough to make her dangerous. In 1927, she was arrested and labeled a “degenerate” and “menace to society.” She was imprisoned for obscenity and disorderly conduct, and when she was released, she was deported. Back in Europe, she wandered—Paris, Nice, the underground circles of queer and Jewish intellectuals. The freedom she’d once tasted in New York had vanished. When the Nazis swept through France, Eve’s name was already marked. She was Jewish. She was lesbian. She was outspoken. That trifecta sealed her fate. In 1943, she was arrested by the Gestapo and deported to Auschwitz. She was murdered shortly after her arrival. Eve Adams lived her truth in a time when doing so came at a terrible cost. But she never recanted. She never pretended. Her life was brief, but bold—unapologetically so. And though the world tried to erase her, her story endures as a testament to the quiet, radical courage of women who refuse to live in hiding.

In the 1920s, Eve Adams carved out a small, defiant space in a world that had little patience for women like her.

See the full, brave, tragic story in the alt-text:

She's absolutely a progressive. And she ran as one.

When she was in the Senate, she was routinely rated by a progressive organization as the top #1 or #2 most progressive person in the Senate. Bernie ranked #10 or #11 during that same time.

You don't know what you're talking about. Sit down.

This is exactly my point.

Pretending like people's words and permission structures didn't break containment and leak into the mainstream is absurd

Biden was not unwell. He had a cold during a debate after an aggressive traveling schedule. And he had a solid VP who could step in at any time. This is a red-herring and a stupid claim.

There is nothing 'neoliberal' about a progressive like Harris. That's just an ignorant, bald-faced lie.

We are being government by tin-hat conspiracy morons.

Dean Cain should be banned from all comicons from now on. His role as SuperMan should be erased and forgotten. He has spit on that legacy. He is the villain now... the very thing Superman would fight against and find abhorrent. Fuck Dean Cain.

Dean Cain is a miserable piece of shit.

For the record, Superman fought the Nazis and the KKK. He didn’t join them, you has been cunt.

Dean Cain turned hard right. Teri Hatcher didn't.

Kevin Sorbo turned hard right. Lucy Lawless didn't.

Lee Majors turned hard right. Lindsay Wagner didn't.

Tim Allen turned hard right. Patricia Richardson didn't.

Jerry Seinfeld turned right. Julia Louis-Dreyfus didn't.

I refuse to watch anything with Ice Cube in it at this point, and that's been true for the last decade.

The only people who fucked around and found out are those on the extremist Left who refused to vote for Dems (and who actively advocated for everyone to NOT vote for Harris), thus resulting in all progress made over the last 100 years being destroyed... and those who stayed home & refused to choose.

Voters are to blame. Not sure how you can pretend that isn't the case. Voters cast their votes (or refused to) and this was the result.

The choice was as stark and as obvious as it could have been. Anyone who refused to vote Harris, effectively endorsed everything that is happening now.

Nothing— and I mean nothing— about this decision is more than the bare desire to harm.

I can't believe Alysson managed to sit through that.
I saw one clip and noped out.

I'm still laughing at the people who found an ounce of prevention too much to ask in November that are now having the nerve to demand a pound of cure 😗

Virginia Democrat under fire for calling Zionism ‘evil’ while leading Education Committee Former Virginia House Speaker Eileen Filler-Corn said Del. Sam Rasoul’s rhetoric is ‘fueling one of the oldest forms of hatred in the world, repackaged in the language of activism’

Zionism represents the right of Jewish people to self-determination in our ancestral homeland.

We're proud pro-Israel Dems, who are also concerned about the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. All of these things are compatible.

The hate expressed by Del. Rasoul doesn't belong in the Democratic Party.

Powerful message from one of the heroic Texas Democrats (who have been fighting on the front lines for many years).

They’ve been living with this longer than you have. They’ve been trying to warn you.

Please listen.

Spain shuns US F-35 jets as tensions grow with Washington Madrid to purchase European military aircraft in sign of deepening rift with Trump over defence and foreign policy

Spain decides not to buy US F-35 jets because of fears of US political reliability. There will be more of this on.ft.com/41tL4zH via @FT

Just had an account with zero posts, a default profile pic, and ... eight thousand followers?!? ... try and follow me.

I just blocked it. WTF is up with those accounts, and who are these idiots who don't vet their follows such that they would actually follow back a zero-post, default pfp account??

I fear it's being overlooked that next term, the Supreme Court will likely strike down:

•what's left of the Voting Rights Act
•all bans on LGBTQ conversion therapy for minors
•the last remaining pillar of McCain–Feingold's campaign finance reform

... while upholding bans on trans student athletes.

What a delusional troll.

If you're worried about the world or frightened for the future, here’s my message for you:

Don’t just sit idly by and wring your hands.

Roll up your sleeves, channel that anxiety into productivity, and join us at this year's @clintonglobal.bsky.social.

Oh look, another one:

It's the broccoli cut, and it irrationally annoys me.
But I'm old and dismissable, so it doesn't really matter to me, but ugh.

It seems that Tim Apple is taking the company in a different direction.
