Imagine being talented and beautiful and rich and famous and still the most noteworthy thing about you is how good a person you are.

New #Substack post is up! Get ready to dig into #women, the #coolgirl, & #aesthetics vs #female #empowerment with this one. #Media & #influencers rebranded to keep up the same #behaviors The bolts of #feminism are being loosened from the inside & we have to kill variations of this to be liberated!
We were supposed to kill the “cool girl”
instead we revitalized her

If we haven't been reminding you enough, vote because your life depends upon it.
Love these new #ChatGPT commercials emphasizing it can do literally the same as a basic Google search but old af boomers have alienated every person in their life they have to turn to AI machines to teach them basic stuff
Watching #Blanche be confirmed as #AG is a slap in the face. It is MORE proof of how useless our system is. 2 reps got a CYA vote? A representational system like this doesn’t work - not for the people or their wishes. They get $$$ to get in office, turn on their own voters, & bend at every turn.

All it took was a broken collarbone of a 2 year old, a detailed history of extreme violence towards women, multiple restraining orders, & a viral internet scandal to get the House to act. The watering down of already underdressed DV is enraging. To be a woman in the US…

If you have overlooked Kentucky, look again. Mitch isn’t running. Andy Barr is a spineless fraud no one likes. Meanwhile, we have built coalitions from the Hood to the Holler. Lock arms with us. We’re flipping this Senate seat.
Former #governor of #KY once again proves how the #rich, the white, and the #Republican easily flaunt any respect for #authority. The fact there is not a hunt for #Bevin RIGHT NOW with allegations of #abuse & direct #contempt is ridiculous!
Kentucky Lantern@kentuckylantern.com · last mo.UPDATED: Former Gov. Matt Bevin once again a no-show at child support hearing filled with heartbreaking testimony From @dyetter.bsky.social kentuckylantern.com/2026/07/28/f...
Journalists love simultaneously reporting how Trump is idiotic and delusional while acting as mouthpieces to legitimize the GOP. The # of articles framing the new MM pic/statement as fact from him and not the spokespeople (proving nothing) is crazy. Ragebaiting the investigation out of journalism
The secrecy and dishonesty continuing to be fueled by Mitch McConnell and his team is offensive and wrong. There is nothing normal about this, and it strikes at the very chords that cause so many Americans to distrust politics.
Repeated iterations that thousands of voters are ignorant, rather than discussing the growing discontent, is exactly why politicians lose
Kentucky Lantern@kentuckylantern.com · last mo.Despite calls for Beshear to ‘do something’ about Mitch McConnell, the answer isn’t so simple From @mckennahorsley.bsky.social kentuckylantern.com/2026/07/22/d...
The difference between #Mamdani openly discussing if he can arrest #Netanyahu vs. #Beshear (‘s defenders) claiming his hands are tied ab #MitchMcConnell is the literal difference between real & fake #progressive #politicians playing out in real time btw!!
There’s a lot of European hate on here towards everyday Americans ab the World Cup over decisions we have no control over/don’t really care ab?? & it plays into the isolation and “you deserve it” factor that so often coincides with authoritarianism? & normal ppl suffer from your general disdain?
I don’t know who needs to hear this but, if you drive down roads or receive benefits. Attend school or use any aspects of the society you live in. It involves politics. So this assumption one can avoid it is a fallacy in your mind you’ve created to not participate. Your entire life is political!
Dozens of Kentuckians with disabilities and their loved ones and advocates came to Frankfort Friday and pleaded with elected officials to find a way to protect the services they receive through Medicaid waivers. From @sarahelizabethladd.bsky.social: kentuckylantern.com/2026/07/17/k...
Kentuckians with disabilities, advocates say looming 4% Medicaid cut is a ‘threat’ • Kentucky Lantern
Gov. Andy Beshear has blamed the legislature for forcing his hand to the cuts. Lawmakers have said he could better manage the money provided.

AI and gambling companies using the World Cup just like they did the Olympics to define themselves as the great philosophers of our time is about the most idiotic reach one could think of and yet there the commercials are
MLB is like the Democratic Party in that they’re deeply concerned about popularity and all their actions seem to be aimed at capturing some mythical person who has never become a baseball fan and will probably never become a baseball fan meanwhile baseball fans are yelling PLEASE JUST PLAY BASEBALL
Every death that comes from the hands of #ice (murder) is deeply tragic. The fact that people are still going out on the streets to protest against them shows an immense strength of everyday Americans & where their values lay
If we can take all this energy w #MitchMcConnell & throw it into #support for @booker4ky.bsky.social for #Senate, that will help #change #Kentucky. If YOU feel like the #gop is full of #liars, spread the name & message of the #Dem nominee who’s actually #progressive. Now is when momentum is higher
VERY excited to get an update on the #WPBL - especially the #diversity & inclusiveness easily shown in the aftermath of the #SFGiants #pitchers #homophobia during #Pride. Go #women, go #queer #athletes, go #baseball!

You should NEVER have to question if a #senator is even alive. The “proof” shouldn’t come from people proven untrustworthy. If you can’t appear in front of the #people you #represent, esp as #SenateMajorityLeader, you sure as hell shouldn’t be in office

“Relinquish the business of #Kentucky back to the #people” AMEN!! No matter your #party, we need a #rep (most #powerful one at that) who can function. It’s decades past time for #McConnell’s exit. DO NOT normalize incompetent old people as #political #leaders - we’re paying for #trump w that
