One way you can tell trans women are really women is that Stephen A Smith treats them like shit

This is why I think it’s so weird that people are acting like AES’s win was some kind of loss. I get that the polling didn’t bear out, but two month ago I thought he was a huge underdog.
Patrick Gaertner @puzzledpagan.bsky.social · 2h agoAmerican politics is so healthy.
You can say "what they call 'socialism' is really just asking corporations and billionaires to pay their fair share, instead of looting our communities without compensating or investing in them. How much did (person X) pay in taxes last year?" Person X should be someone very wealthy w low taxes.
Mainstream media is tossing “socialist” around left and right - Dems need to get a jump on defining that word and taking it back tout de suite. “Socialism just means that the government uses your tax dollars to provide you services, instead of giving it to the billionaire class.” Or something.
Yes, the guy whose office tried to railroad six people (and God knows how many others) should definitely weigh in on what penalties are appropriate. 🙄
Ben Collins@bencollins.bsky.social · 4h agoYour little oopsie "mistakes" had me worrying for a year of my life about my partner going to jail for up to a decade based on lies likely fed to you by the top of the federal government. Show everyone what you're covering up in these emails and texts. There's a reason you don't want them released.
Anyone have a link to a good primer on the Lindsey Clancy trial? Trying to get caught up quickly and striking out on good recaps.

1. Now-deleted audio shows that Acting AG Todd Blanche privately told faith leaders the DOJ is working to make the 2022 Dobbs decision, which revoked federal abortion protections, “permanent in every single state.” Blanche also suggested a crackdown on the mailing of abortion pills.🧵
I’d love to believe this, but I thought it was over for Donald Trump when he said that E. Jean Carroll was too ugly to sexually assault.
Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 19h agoIt was over for Max Miller politically when he said his wife couldn’t have been abused because she offered to make him dinner 6 days later. He may not have known it when he said it, but that was the end. You have to be a sick bastard to come up with that as your defense.
This is another way we live in rape culture; we live in a culture where we have to hear about monstrosity all the time. Sometimes I look at those top stories lists and wonder if I'm the only one who notices that two or three or four of the ten are about violence against women.
Bernie Sanders making a great point on MS Now: Establishment Dems won't go further than tinkering and making minor fixes to health insurance and labor laws, when people want universal healthcare and a living wage. They aren't understanding that the voters want big swings.
Todd Blanche is telling religious activists that Dobbs was not enough. Ending the constitutional right to abortion was merely the warm up act. Now the Justice Department wants to make the ruling “permanent in every single state” including states where voters, lawmakers,
Blanche pledges to make Dobbs decision ‘permanent’ in every state
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche told faith leaders he is planning to roll back abortion access even in states that have laws protecting it. On a private call last week hosted by the Whit…

Julius Kim@juliuskim.bsky.social · 18h agoAaron Rogers is going to be insufferable this year. The Steelers should never given him a platform, and Mike McCarthy is going to hate coaching this D-bag again.

Jake really lit him up. Any woman who votes for this asshole ought to be fired into the sun.

A system that protected Hastert and Jordan and Trump etc etc (feel free to add your fave) is not going to be even the slightest bit worried abbot a man who beats women and breaks a two year old's collarbone
Just walked by the National Night Out celebration in my neighborhood. There are pony rides! Many different bounce houses! The bookmobile is there! Splash pads! Parents at parks in the 80s: oh look, there’s a fenced-off we fountain. Why don’t you go jump in it? 
watching people you love and respect cutting corners to keep creative pace with an idiot machine, starve themselves to keep pace with a new, more impossible ideal, it is overwhelmingly sad some days and no one is truly immune to it
LOL @ thinking anyone would abide by a verbal agreement..
Nathan Kalman-Lamb@nkalamb.bsky.social · yesterdayThe US host cities for the 2026 men's World Cup claim that they were *verbally* promised $1 million each by Gianni Infantino and that FIFA hasn't paid up. Truly incredible stuff. www.nytimes.com/athletic/749...

Imagine someone saying that, to win, the party must "moderate" on women's rights or BIPOC rights.....
Bruce Mirken@brucemirken.mas.to.ap.brid.gy · 2d agoMaddow asked #JamesTalarico about attacks on #trans people and those who think that to win, Dems must "moderate" on trans rights. Talarico answered, "I don't believe we win by selling people out." #Texas
It’s August 2026 and Aaron Rodgers is having a full blown meltdown about Anthony Fauci.
Just another one of those guys who wants to "protect" women's sports by alleging a women's pro team can't beat high school boys. I am so sick of these asshats.

It’s so obnoxious to me that so many of today’s current media got their start in fringe outlets, like Breitbart, The Federalist, etc, and are now considered “mainstream.”

As opposed to the taxes that are collected that go to pay for wars, Trump’s slush funds, gilding everything, and his golf trips. I don’t live in NYC, but I would never complain about paying taxes to subsidize food for those in need.
USA TODAY Opinion@usatodayopinion.usatoday.com · 2d agoOpinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.
None of this is surprising if you understand, even the slightest little bit about the dynamics of domestic abuse. Constantly attempting to keep the abuser play and happy is incredibly common.
