The only responsible attitude for liberals and progressives to align on is that all right-wing grievances, claims and believes are not only false, but malicious lies. Nothing passes the mouth of an American conservative in public life that is not meant to harm and destroy the lives of millions.

And the “worst dots ever” award goes to…

wow, Cuba might have 300 drones. that's enough to sustain a war of aggression for multiple seconds, perhaps even tens of them. Florida is in terrible danger.

Over the past week, a flurry of speculation and criticism has surrounded DART's choice for its new CEO.

LA's new proposed "objective design standards" for historic districts are horrific. They're going to result in it essentially being illegal for new buildings to match the historic character of these districts.

calling this holiday "fourth of july" kind of undermines the whole "july the fourth be with you" thing

In my experience, one of the reasons "brain gender" is such a persistent gremlin even in ostensibly progressive spaces is many folks REALLY wish there was bioessentialist framework of gender that's compatible with the reality of trans people existing, and that falls apart if brain gender isn't real.

i’m sorry but farming is cheating. you didn’t scavenge those cucumbers, you grew them in your field on purpose and “found” them later. and that’s bullshit

tired of the "#1 dad" nonsense. if you're a dad, stop treating it like a joke and post your actual national dad ranking. i'm # 492,018, which is actually really high up there, but more importantly it lets me enter ranked dad lobbies where i can get matched up for fistfights with dads of my caliber
