I grew up before Title IX. It passed while I was in high school, and has made an enormous difference to millions of women. Shame on them.

Jess Piper@piperformissouri.bsky.social · 7h ago

The Heritage Foundation asserts that women never needed sports in the first place. To prove that Title IX has become a tool of “feminist social engineering.” To demonstrate that women don’t need sports and that “clubs, intramurals, and exercise classes” is enough. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

I'd love to hear why my book White Flight -- which won prizes from the Southern Historical Association and the American Political Science Association -- was deemed not good enough for students at Texas A&M.

When Felon47’s power is used to defend the accused instead of supporting the alleged victims, it speaks volumes about him! Am I surprised. Hell no! It’s a betrayal of every survivor who fought to be heard! #SheShed #ViVaHerAlliance POTUS #PedophileOfTheUnitedStates

You know you’re a pathetic worthless loser when Adam Schiff is able to toy with you like a cat batting around a mouse before tearing its head clean off

SCHIFF: When Trump ran against Hillary Clinton, who won? CANDEUB: Um. Trump was certified as winner S: Did he in fact win? C: He was certified S: Do you have some doubt about if he won? C: I have no doubt he was certified S: When did it become so difficult to answer such a simple question?

CEOs are raking in $17 million a year, 300 times what their own workers make, and John Husted’s answer is “learn to budget.” Sherrod Brown wrote the law that got over 100,000 Ohioans their stolen pensions back. Vote for who fights for you, not who lectures you. #BlueWaveIn90Days

The New Republic’s Matt Ford on Trump selling early looks at his social posts, which often move markets: “The scheme is functionally no different than if he asked for giant burlap sacks of cash from Wall Street executives in exchange for reading his executive orders the day before they are issued.”

Is Trump the GOAT of Presidential Corruption?

The president’s gluttony for graft is the only truly remarkable thing about his political career.

SHOUT OUT to Mike Luckovich: one of the all-time great political cartoonists. 🏆 With corporate media doing such a poor job in these most perilous of times, his work is more vital than ever! THANK YOU @mluckovich.bsky.social!!! 🙏

This is a man who has a hard time looking in the mirror

Did you see how Apple, Amazon Walmart and other big companies are refunding the billions of dollars they got back from the federal tariff settlement to their customers, who ultimately bore the cost of higher prices? Yea, me neither.

📌Susan Collins is voting "no" on the repulsive Blanche because she has been given political cover by Thune. Her vote doesn't matter. This isn't a heroic decision, it is pure politics, and whether anybody wants to admit it or not it's how she has survived like a parasite in that chamber for 30 years.

BREAKING: Republicans are no longer worried about deficits and debt Bessent: "I'm not as bothered by it ... if '26 is flat to slightly up, this isn't wasteful social spending "

Liberation Day for MyPillow employees.

Facts suck, if you're delusional and in a cult.

If only it hadn’t been illegal. 😞

Bessent: "Here at the Treasury, I had $168 billion of tariff revenues that we're gonna have to refund. So when the Democrats scream, "Oh, the refunds should go back to the American people!', well, the American people had it, it was in the Treasury and it was paying down the debt."

Whoever advised Max Miller to go on to Jake Tapper’s show secretly hates him. What a catastrophic interview

First it was Iran to push the Epstein files off the front page. Then, when the Iran war turned into a fiasco, it was back to the 2020 election and Covid. Every crisis needs a new distraction.

It sounds like a horror story: a pregnant 10-year-old Texan girl escapes after being raped. A bounty hunter captures her and turns her over to authorities. Even though it's medically unsafe, traumatic & abusive, they can legally force her to carry the fetus to term. #Vote #SheShed

Minnesota Republicans are trying to oust Trump’s awful governor pick

Poor, poor Minnesota Republicans. All they want to do is install a hardliner MAGA chud like their endorsed candidate for governor, Kendall Qualls, atop a blue state that has vexed President Donald…

This is who the Repub led Senate wants to confirm as the US AG in the next couple days. It’s not about following laws—it’s about controlling women and girls with no regard to health outcomes. WE ARE NOT OUTRAGED ENOUGH! We need to flip 4 Senate seats. Please help get out the VOTE in NOV!

July was a busy month as we’ve hit the ground running to win big in November - all of it is captured in this graphic. We have a lot of work to do, join us!

You’ll hear about my legal background, but what you may not know is I co-founded Startup CO, helping small businesses thrive. As governor, I’ll make it easier to start & grow a business, strengthen our economy & create opportunities for hardworking Coloradans. #Philforgovernor #COpolitics

“Why did Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell make Trump’s club one of the spots where they hunted for victims? Even the club knew what Epstein was doing. A Mar-a-Lago source in 2007 told the New York Post that Epstein ‘would use the spa to try to procure girls.’” @meidastouch.com #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

Trump's Mar-a-Lago Spa Was Tailor-Made for Epstein

The Trump Spa sought "young, attractive" college students to wear mini-skirts and "skin-tight" tops

🚨Unearthed footage shows Trump bragging about hiring a teenage girl because she was “so pretty.” When a woman asks to be a flight attendant on his jet, he says, “You can work on my plane anytime,” then calls it a “death wish”—comparing himself to an alcoholic around Scotch.

70% felt he should be tarred and feathered

Depicting Jewish people with horns is a centuries-old, dehumanizing, antisemitic trope. Democratic Gov nominee Phil Weiser is outspoken about his mother’s birth in a Nazi concentration camp, his family members killed in the Holocaust, and the threat posed by antisemitism today.

Sean Pond Scum. Fucking Nazi. His defense is he did not know. (a) bullshit (b) Nazi
