when your ideas are that toxic, you need to rebrand yourself every time people figure out who you are.

picture them as the ol’ timey snake oil salesmen peddling bullshit. except these people want power over you, not [just] your money.

“We basically tried to communicate to officials that there were educational nonprofits and shelters that were immediately willing to bring trucks and save all of the books … and officials refused,” said Zander Moricz, executive director at SEE.

Moricz continued, “​​There were Bibles, there were stories of Black authors, of Latin authors, female stories, there were LGBTQ+ and queer stories, or trans stories, all thrown into a dumpster. It sends the message that New College of Florida wants to send stories of gender and diversity to the dump, and it was so heartbreaking and also very frustrating.”

Cruelty’s the point.

Mostly at his own private + expensive golf courses, where he was billing the secret service at exorbitant rates, which we all paid for in our taxes. That’s fucking bullshit, and reason #27564 that you shouldn’t vote for the guy.

Nepotism is flourishing!

Better than Chris Christie who really thought he did something when he called him Donald Duck

Mitt stored his women in binders. Very weird

Over the past couple of years, Jane had all but stopped posting conspiracies about Trump and the deep state, instead sharing photos and missives about her pets. Then the shooting happened.

“Full-on unhinged posting hour after hour,” says Amy, describing Jane’s social media content. “She fully and publicly supported Trump. She blamed the shooting on a liberal in an alt-right shirt. She definitely believes Joe Biden or the Democrats arranged it.“

I just end up feeling badly for these people, it seems like they’re plagued with something. From her friend’s description, Jane was doing so much better when she stepped away from the deep state stuff, just to fall back into it again.

This man has so many opinions about women and their required roles in society, it’s so strange. With most candidates, we’re talking about a mixture of their issues and their life experiences, but with this guy it’s just all of his weird takes on women.

If there’s one place I don’t want to be, it’s inside JD Vance’s couch cushions. If you could even separate them at this point, they’ve got to be crusted together.

Hey! I’ll have you know that I saved the same forest in Cameroon twelve times last year. Maybe you should try doing something for a change. /s

Yes, I remain a bit worried. Today the WHO declared mpox a global health emergency

Just continuing to prove that Lettuce beats Truss

Ambassador to the Moon

“But think of all the money to be made! Say, how would you like a funded vacation to somewhere nice that we haven’t polluted yet?”

While MeToo and BLM were fairly short-lived political movements, they had an incredibly large and positive impact on the culture.

I remember a time just before covid when saying “black lives matter” was a controversial phrase. Now, not being able to say it is fairly scandalous. But for gay marriage, I can’t think of many things which were as widely accepted as the fight for racial equality (in slogan, at least).

I’m not excited for the pendulum to swing back, led by corporate america, joy.

I can’t imagine Trump lasting a full day in any customer-facing jobs, especially not retail or food service. It’s amazing people think he’s qualified for any job, much less the top job in the nation.

Omar avoided the fate of two fellow Squad members. Rep. Cori Bush lost the Democratic nomination in her Missouri district last week, and Rep. Jamaal Bowman of New York lost his primary in June. Both faced well-funded challengers and millions of dollars in spending by the United Democracy Project, a super political action committee affiliated with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, which appeared to sit out the Minnesota race.

Omar reported raising about $6.2 million. Samuels raised about $1.4 million.

While I’m happy that Omar won reelection, I really wish we could get money out of politics so that this wasn’t about who can raise more funds.

Would you like to travel in the advance party to Mars, aboard the space rocket of a man who can’t sort a livestream?

No, and there’s not a shot in hell he’s putting a chip in my brain either.

When conservatives said they cared about women’s sports, this is what they meant. They want to accost more butch women about not being “women enough”, and generally make women’s lives miserable.

I hope Trump gets some punishment here, though I’m not foolish enough to seriously believe that. He’s been trying this shit since the Central Park 5 in the 80s, and I’m so tired of him needing to involve himself in every hot-button / cultural / racial issue.
