how about you just be a decent fucking person and pay back into a system you exploited without begging for cookies on social in a country where the affluent extraction class already pays disastrously low taxes

I love watching Family Feud the show where the most beautiful family you’ve ever seen in your life faces off against the Golf Course Ogres every single night

I'm not sure it has registered widely and deeply enough that the FBI director—along with the director of national intelligence—is making up lies to create predicates for sham DOJ investigations and perhaps prosecutions of Trump's critics and foes. This is what happens in an authoritarian state.

AP The Associated Press @AP BREAKING: The Trump administration is pushing an initiative for millions of Americans to upload personal health data to new apps run by private tech companies. Gabrielle A. Perry, MPH @GeauxGabrielle Hi! Epidemiologist here! Don't do this. In the 80s and 90s this was done by Depts. of Health during the HIV/AIDS epidemic. "Somehow" the lists they created found their way into the hands of cops, landlords, & job sites to deny people human rights. It's partly WHY the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act exists

On Promising Young Women (and the Nameless Men Who Get in Their Way) “The woman is a footnote in the man’s history.” –Rebecca Hazelton * There’s this photo of Lana Clarkson that I think about often. She’s outside, backed by a blue sky, the green and brown spotted hi…

My essay is up at @literaryhub.bsky.social about the late, great Lana Clarkson and other promising young women whose lives have been derailed or destroyed by men. It’s also about my childhood sexual abuse and how I have tried, and failed, to reckon with it.

President Trump is stealing our money. One thing I'm looking for in a future candidate - how far will they go to try and get it back from him, his company, his "organization," his family.

I wish a very happy “fuck you” to everyone who thought throwing trans people under the bus was going to stop these lunatics

Their goal has *always* been the eradication of the entire LGBTQ+ community, and they’re not gonna stop at Obergefell either

This is why we fight for *everyone*

@petebuttigieg.bsky.social There are more sex offenders in the Trump Administration than trans athletes competing in college sports. When you include high school sports, there are fewer than 200 transgender athletes in the US.

What are those "valid parental concerns" you mention based on?

Big Tech Asked for Looser Clean Water Act Permitting. Trump Wants to Give It to Them New AI regulations suggested by the White House mirror changes to environmental permitting suggested by Meta and a lobbying group representing firms like Google and Amazon Web Services.

SCOOP from me: Trump's AI action plan released last week makes a specific set of recommendations around loosening Clean Water Act permits for data centers — recommendations mirrored in letters sent to the administration by Big Tech lobbyists earlier this year:

Motherfucking wind farms…

That’s fucking bananas.

Just biding your time in the lucrative world of independent journalism until that indie music career delivers its inevitable fame and fortune - that old tried-and-true path

NPR doing its own Democracy Dies In Darkness banner while its Morning Edition team continues to, in effect, re-run fascist press releases. “We need money, so here’s Eleanor Beardsley doing a ride-along with the IDF…”

The only way we're going to get out of this fascist moment is by building a progressive politics that looks very different from standard-issue 21st century Democratic liberalism OR standard-issue 21st century American leftism.

I believe that Mamdani's cosmopolitanism is a piece of the puzzle.

Look at what we allow This piece appears in my forthcoming book We Had It Coming. Here's a nice new plug for it from a smart and talented guy. Look at what we allow They said he threw his jacket. Kept saying that over ...

I know it can be uncomfortable to encounter an unhoused person in distress but that is because it is an up close and personal look at How It Actually Is. A peek under the hood of this country.

They aren't a threat so much as they are an indictment.

Look at what we allow.

A borrowed screenshot showing a news article screenshot of Hillary Clinton criticizing student protesters of the Israeli occupation and starvation of Gaza

This you? The “some day everyone will have been against this” pivot begins

Families in Gaza are *being starved* to death. In case it's not clear why these families are starving.

The world is always going to have hellish things in it. And people need to be made aware of that so they can help if they have the ability. But they also need to be aware of the good things so that they don't lose hope. Sometimes that good thing is a video of a baby elephant eating bananas.

Real discussion:
CNN: Hey Dave it's CNN. Could you come on to talk about the death of Hulk Hogan

Me: Hulk Hogan was a racist scab and a liar. He hated unions, Black people, and the truth and that's why he loved Donald Trump. What time do you want me?

CNN: Great! Well.... so we'll keep looking
