Proud to join @PhillyAFLCIO to talk about how I'll fight for working families in Congress:

$25/hour #MinimumWage

#UniversalHealthcare
#FreeChildcare

Affordable #HousingforAll

Stronger unions

We live in the richest country in the world. It’s time we step up for all of Philly's working families!

I continue to be gobsmacked at 1) how common this formulation is 2) how antisemitic and generally bigoted it is 3) and how for all the talk of anti-semitism this is never cited as an example even though it’s quite literally the original incarnation.

Rahm Emanuel's coverup of Laquan McDonald's death can't be forgotten Democrats can embrace police reform or Rahm Emanuel as ambassador to Japan β€” but not both.

And, fuck Rahm.

Iran is a Porn War, evidenced by the US burning millions of dollars in munitions to get and air footage of blowing up Shahed-136s and the occasional girl’s school without any actual geopolitical objective beyond the transgressions themselves

Democrats may not be able to prevent Mullin's confirmation, but they can certainly turn his track record of offense and stupidity into two days of televised humiliation so spectacular that he is wounded in Trump's eyes from day 1. That is the job.

During the Biden interregnum, Trump’s yearning for a Porn War grew, and he openly mused about engaging in them against Venezuela and Iran

He first opened up a domestic Porn War in our cities, wherein the objective was to procure images of Operators brutalizing immigrants to pleasure his Nazi base

No. He was a horrible mayor and he's barely a decent politician.

It’s the 20th Anniversary of the Pentagon’s Cover-Up of How Pat Tillman Died - WhoWhatWhy The attempt to hide how Pat Tillman died began right after he was killed by friendly fire 20 years ago today.

Oh, and here's a rare piece of honest reporting about Pat Tillman's murder

There used to be more stuff like this easy to search up

Twenty years ago

ICE detains reporter Estefany RodrΓ­guez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany RodrΓ­guez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.

They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

ICE Barbie's Replacement Accused of Weird Attacks on Women Bizarre tales about Markwayne Mullin are resurfacing after he landed a high-profile gig.

The senator set to replace Kristi Noem as Homeland Security secretary was once accused of β€œmiddle school” behavior on a trip with fellow lawmakers.

Trans Porn Is Booming. Trans Rights Are Fading We asked trans adult creators about the complicated link between desire and politics, as trans porn is booming while rights fade.

Interesting interview in Playboy with transgender adult content creators. People often point to Pornhub stats showing trans content is more popular than ever as a contradiction, as if political and sexual objectification were ever mutually exclusive

Trump's War If Trump campaigned as a President of peace, he has governed as the opposite

What does this imply for those of us who are not Christian, and who labor under the assumption that we're protected by the First Amendment?

First reported by @decaturish.bsky.social, GA State Sen. Elena Parent will not seek reelection.

In 2025, Parent, who represents one of the most progressive districts in the South, east of Atlanta, dared a trans parent to find someone to challenge her for reelection in a recorded anti-trans screed:

Fetterman is basically a reactionary now: there is no real effort to explain why Mullin - a buffoon who spent the week insisting we are not at war with Iran - is qualified. Trump nominated Mullin, and that’s good enough for him.

This lawyer dangled a baggie of cannabis in front of the NC Supreme Court and dared the cops to arrest him A story about the smell of weed, the state of pot in North Carolina, and why so many products somehow are able to hint that they'll get you high, legally.
