It cannot be remembered enough that these were the same people who got worked up about drag brunches

Megyn Kelly said she thinks “there’s a difference between a 5 year old and a 15 year old” when it comes to sexual abuse. Megyn Kelly has a 14 year old daughter. Megyn Kelly is going to Hell.

At what point does the New York Times get charged as organizationally conspiring to abet human trafficking of minors.

I saw the Northern Light for the first time in my life. So glad the Sun's freaking out.

The thing that's pissing me off the most is that "getting back SNAP" or backpay doesn't constitute a deal because those things were illegal. Making a "deal" about when and for whom laws exist is not it.

The government disables you, culture does the rest.

Democrats in office need to know: all of us with very few exceptions want all of you with very few exception to lose your god damn jobs because you refuse to do them.

Democrats seem to think the pivoting to the center makes them most electable but all it does it piss *everyone* off.

Having beliefs/a backbone and being authentic is the best way to win elections. People are fucking sick of croneyism and corporate suck ups and that is why Zohran cruised to victory

Your new motto should be: if it’s fine for disabled people, it’s fine for me.

Comic. Someone is claiming to predict the exact date of a future earthquake. Should you listen? [flowchart: start] → NO (There are big earthquakes constantly, so if anyone ever *does* figure this out, it will be immediately obvious that their method works and then the world’s seismologists will not shut up about it. You won’t need this flowchart.)

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

If a budget deal goes through without restoring Medicaid & ACA subsidies, they will never be restored.

That's a death sentence for millions of Americans but also to the entire republic and economy: Health care is a for-profit business generating TREMENDOUS economic activity & will grind to a halt.

Starting to suspect anyone vowing to abolish ICE and prosecute these fuckers would win in a historic landslide

hey everybody shut up for a second and listen to Gregory

ICE agents in Chicago violently detain a non verbal autistic man for being “non compliant”

He couldn’t “comply” because of his disability…they don’t care

This is not the first time they’ve gone after a disabled person

They target the most vulnerable because it’s an easy way to meet their quota

The Extraordinary Power of Standing For Something Winning by creating vision in the positive space of shared standards, and expertly negotiating the negative space of shame.

Today I wrote about Zohran Mamdani's historic win, the energizing power of holding to shared principles of decency, and a taxonomy of the endlessly intertwined relationship between shame and vision. www.the-reframe.com/the-extraord...

US Supreme Court allows Trump to limit passport sex markers for trans and nonbinary Americans, ruling that the policy can be enforced while legal challenges continue #NOH8

Since it was taken over by a right-wing billionaire, Tiktok automatically rejects reports about hateful incitement. Livestreams about white genocide and great replacement are not violations of its terms of service.

The guy who dismantled the world’s largest humanitarian aid effort becoming the world’s first trillionaire is all I need to know about the ‘virtues’ of obscene wealth.

I assumed that right wing churches would step up and invest in future tithes and influence by temporarily filling some of the gap left by snap. But they're really not. They're shaming and policing people who need to use food banks instead. I need to stop projecting competence on these people.

An American Tail poster with lil ol mouse immigrant Fievel

It’s hard to believe but there was a cartoon about an immigrant mouse and it was seen as totally fine and not controversial and not woke because it was an aspirational and nice thing about America that people could come here and find a better life

Looking forward to learning all about how the right should move left to win elections tomorrow. They should maybe dye their hair pink, learn to love pronouns.

the fact that USDA tells grocers that they cannot give SNAP recipients discounts in times when people are starving is a whole different kind of cruelty. People will die from this, and none of them had to.

if there were any justice in the world dick cheney would've died by a drone strike that removed his entire family from the map

alas, they always die comfortable, safe, rich, and surrounded by those who love them, and lauded by the new york times.

Hands down my favorite grebe.

In Israel, Leaking Evidence of Rape Is a Bigger Scandal Than Raping a Palestinian According to Israel and its supporters, the scandal is not the vile assault depicted in a leaked video last year – it’s that someone released the tape.

“In Israel, Leaking Evidence of Rape Is a Bigger Scandal Than Raping a Palestinian”

According to Israel and its supporters, the scandal is not the vile sexual assault depicted in a leaked video last year – it’s that someone released the tape, writes Minnah Arshad for Zeteo:

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.

The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.

They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.

Wanna fix fraud and abuse?

Fix that.

A SSRS/CNN poll showing 61% people think Trump has gone too far using the power of the presidency and 57% think he's gone too far deporting immigrants.

People fucking hate this guy. They fucking hate ICE. They fucking hate how much power he has. He is at 63% overall disapproval to 37% approval. That's lower than their poll after January 6th. And this poll was done before he started intentionally starving people. I wish our media would reflect this.

Ok! Educate those young men abt affirmative consent & safer sex. Make abortion & contraception free & available everywhere. Enforce sexual assault laws actually. Create media that cultivates sex positive respect & care for everyone. Get ppl who don’t suck in office.

Culture change is possible!!

The people on the right getting mad at Tucker Carlson for hosting Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes on his podcast don’t seem to have gotten mad at all at Donald Trump for hosting Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes at his home for dinner. Funny that.
