Um.

What’s so weird about men in power is how when they face scandal and should step down the world acts like no one else can do their jobs. Bottstein, Wasserman, these aren’t irreplaceable men! Stop with this delusion.

None of this is normal

man ... lying under oath really ought to be a crime, you know?

Give her a medal, immediately if not sooner.

Typical Bibi.

The Israeli government wants you to stop calling Oct. 7 a 'massacre.' Yes, really. Israel's government objected to calling Hamas' Oct. 7 attack a 'massacre' in a new bill, as part of a strategy to alter the tale of that day.

Reminder: The biggest source of disparagement of hostage families and downplaying of Oct 7th has been the Israeli government because anything that makes Bibi look bad is verboten. Let that sink in.

I think we can settle the Cardi B - Nicki Minaj beef once and for all

hello and welcome to the political genius exam. here is question one. which is a more compelling message:

- the president is sending armies to occupy cities and kidnap and kill people and your town could be next
- a meal at the cheesecake factory that previously cost $100 now costs $104.9

Don’t let pea-brained maggots tell you they are going after criminals.

everyone’s saying “people are NIMBYs about concentration camps” and yeah, I don’t want a concentration camp in my neighborhood, or anywhere

you know who I don’t mind in my neighborhood?

On Lynchings in America Support my blog with a Tip Typically when we think about lynching, we rightfully connect the killings to the tremendous numbers of Black men, women and children killed during the Jim Crow Era. They w...

today on my blog, I wrote an op-ed about the history of lynching, and why its extrajudicial nature is so aptly documented by Black journalists like Georgia Fort and Black activists like Nekima Levy-Armstrong the-haters-guide-to-international-politics.ghost.io/on-lynchings...

This is something the Nazis used to do to Jewish children in the camps. It happened to a man I knew when he was a child in Auschwitz. The camp guards thought it was funny as hell.

For any of you wondering why Pamela Jo Bondi is pimping so hard for Donny, he gave it up to Marjorie Taylor "Stopped Clock" Greene… and an office full of staffers.

(Donny omitted one significant perpetrator, of course. Surprised he had the necessary mental capacity.)

ICE 💵 hides behind Black History

Feb 12, 1793 Congress enacted the Fugitive Slave Law to enforce the Constitution’s Fugitive Slave Clause

I'm not a romance reader.

But, as a librarian, I am *definitely* a *fan* of romance readers!

You are completely correct… on both points.

*All* clothing should be comfortable and practical.

One can be a man (for certain notions of manhood) without being a creep.

WATCH: Trump, EPA's Zeldin announce end of scientific basis for U.S. action on climate change The Trump administration on Thursday revoked a scientific finding that long has been the central basis for U.S. action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change, the most aggressiv...

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

Let this serve as a reminder that a tyrant can never be appeased.

Scary, @ladyjustice28.bsky.social, huh?

The 51st has produced so much valuable reporting in just a single year, with only one full-time reporter. Can you imagine what a second year could look like if this newsroom had triple the reporting capacity?

The good news is that we don't have to imagine — we can make it happen. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Interesting and revealing detail.

Bullies are cowards.
