weird uncle yankovich

it's so funny that Greenblatt bent over backwards to these people and annihilated his organization's credibility with anyone left of center to get absolutely nothing from the right

Everyone bends the knee eventually

People have begun to discuss things loloverruled/alex, my former cohost on WK is alleged to have done. We believe them. Prior to all of this, a few women unrelated to the discussions we've seen online, but who were nonetheless impacted by his actions, reached out to us about their experiences. After those conversations, we immediately parted ways with him. We didn't initially say anything when this started in order to preserve the anonymity and safety of those who came to us, as they have plans to tell their stories on their own terms. But in light of everything, we're sharing this with their permission: We stand with everybody who's told their story and those who came forward to us. That they reached out to begin with is brave and an important part of keeping our spaces safe for everyone.

In discussing this, we hope you keep all those impacted front and center. We also ask to not let your affinity for any specific creator or political leaning mpact your willingness to listen to those who've spoken up. -June, Alex Goldman, and Caleb

Turns out, you can in fact run a values forward, energizing Democratic campaign against a known corrupted, billionaire-backed sexual predator born into privilege. The trick is you have to actually have a concrete populist agenda.

Prophylactically pissed about tomorrow's inevitable "yes but that was just because it's NYC" spin.

Reminder: NYC is the city where the greatest amount of Americans live. It's as "real" as America gets.

A man in glasses wearing an all tan outfit with a water backpack and black and tan tactical vest with a bunch of useless shit in it and an American flag patch on the front. He's wearing an all black gaiter mask covering the majority of his face. His shoes are also black. He appears to be communicating with someone else either with a walkie talkie or phone. He's walking through the crowd along the sidewalk.

Also, if anyone has any additional information/footage on the guy in the shitty getup and sporting a patch reading "Totenkopf SS Jew Hunter" who wandered through the No Kings rally at the Phoenix Capitol on Saturday and gave a Nazi salute, please hit me up thanks.

I want every gay person that doesn't realize that transgender rights and gay rights are interconnected to read this story.

A far-right judge just erased your rights against harassment in the workplace along with ours.

We are in this together and there's only one way out.

Stopped clock.

Now bring them back.

How Star Wars reveals conservatives’ authoritarian fantasies Republicans are gunning for their own Galactic Empire.

It turns out former Mitch McConnell adviser Scott Jennings isn’t the only right-winger to defend the Empire’s actions—and specifically the destruction of an entire planet. For decades, the GOP and its allies have played with defending the Empire’s violence for the sake of order.

[“Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. If a soldier is imprisoned by the enemy, don’t we consider it his duty to escape? The moneylenders, the know-nothings, the authoritarians have us all in prison; if we value the freedom of the mind and soul, if we’re partisans of liberty, then it’s our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can.”]

Again, there are 40 men currently on federal death row, a number of whom will certainly be executed under Trump, whose sentences Biden has the power to commute.

Make sure he knows they're waiting to hear from him, too.
