Feminist, relentless abortion rights advocate, foodie, world traveller, music lover, childless cat lady, proud Coloradan with Texas roots. Molly Ivins & Diane Nash are my heroes. The Chicks song "The Long Away Around" pretty well covers it.

Every one of these m*therf*ckers should be personally forced to listen to what a focus group of menopausal GenX women thinks of them.

The real irony here is that this guy is exactly why DEI was important.
A mediocre dude, promoted far beyond his capabilities, based exclusively on who he knows and the fact he’s white and has a penis.
Preventing unmerited propagation of him, was the whole point.

Palantir CEO Makes Shocking Confession on Disrupting Democratic Power They’re saying the quiet part out loud now.

"Palantir CEO Alex Karp says his AI technology will lessen the power of “highly educated, often female voters, who vote mostly Democrat” while increasing the power of working-class men."

Just saying it right out loud now.

This is Nathan Cavanaugh, another DOGE staffer explaining how he flagged grants at NEH for "DEI" which would be reviewed for termination. 404 Media has reviewed hours of this footage and we'll have more soon.

I don't care how much room it takes up or if it ruins the lyricism of the lede, newsrooms should require this the first time any article mentions executive orders:

"—which are directives that only apply to executive branch employees, and may only be in regard to how they carry out existing law—"

I Will Never Forgive Trae Young For Surpassing Kobe Bryant's Career High For Assists In A Game Eight Times | Defector Kobe Bryant was not just some normal NBA player. No indeed: He was the second-best shooting guard in the history of the Los Angeles Lakers franchise, and something like the 11th-best Laker overall, an...

One of my friends was the lobbyist for a Colorado anti-sexual assault organization at the time and can confirm. Their rape crisis hotline number stopped ringing for six months. When it did start ringing again, callers were afraid their name would be said in open court like hers was.

Records are made to be broken but, I can't stress this enough, this was not the record. Wilt Chamberlain still holds that by a lot.

Sportswriters complaining that Kobe got knocked down to third sound like MAGA idiots arguing that Riley Gaines really deserves the honor of fourth place. Grow up.

$11.3 billion in a week.

That would have paid the enhanced ACA subsidies for a year for ~8 million Americans.

I mean, I appreciate what they’re doing to promote Talarico? But it’s unusual to get a cross-party assist like this. Thought Senate Rs were supporting Cornyn.

If you don’t think Kamala Harris would have been better for every one of us you are delusional. Nuts.

Subservience markers.

apparently he's got this thing for these shoes and he guesses people's size and orders them and none of them have the balls to say, Oh sorry these don't fit me!

The idea that America isn’t for everyone who wants to be an American is something that makes my blood boil. Posting a photo of yourself as a Congressman smiling next to these words is wicked. It’s antithetical to the concept of America.
