Bethany wore a “Protect The Dolls” t-shirt during rehearsals. The BBC posted it on their socials then quietly deleted and reposted it without showing her from the front. On TV last night they actually blurred the message #Strictly
It would be extremely un-French to deface the (checking notes)… Bastille.
Jody Rosen@jodyrosen.bsky.social · 17h agoIt's true, there's no precedent in French history (nor, uh, at the Bastille) for popular protest or property destruction. Great point. No one tell history-buff & self-styled francophile Thomas about Gustave Courbet & the Vendôme Column. He might short-circuit & issue another Open Letter
no one reads the articles. all of the quotes assume this is because the party is broke because of (spins wheel) whatever that person is mad about today, but the reason they’re scrambling is because they’re trying to run moonshot campaigns in deep red districts they ordinarily would never attempt

The only way to defeat Republicans extremism is to punch back hard. Not agree with them. It’s a loser strategy, politically and morally

it's fun to fantasize about Zohran firing Tisch and arresting ICE but he's a fucking Muslim mayor and Donald Trump is president and I don't think enough people are using their brains here
Emma the Sewer Socialist@mayorseidel.bsky.social · 3d agoSeeing Zohran next to his police commissioner he didn’t pick and couldn’t afford to fire, following his righteous outrage with bloodless cop speak, and followed by the state AG declining to comment at all, shows how precarious his position is.
It’s “I believe that material conditions shape people’s actions” right up until it is time to put any of that talk into action

oh they circulated this as fast as they could the second their senate candidate started getting bad press for letting the president call her a slur and then double down on saying "i'm not like them trans people"
