Red state trending blue rural progressive - I've heard all the stories. Anti-war, anti-bigotry, anti-ecocide, anti-oligarch, pro-evidence-based-reality, exvangelical Christian apologist waxing unitarian.
it’s actually crazy how every Republican who claims they will stand up to Trump is just a total cuck with a humiliation fetish
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdayTillis admits Trump is weaponizing the DOJ during his speech announcing he'll vote for Todd Blanche: "Maybe it's a little bit more intense in this administration than the last one ... I'm going to support Mr Blanche's nomination"

Whitehouse on Blanche and Ghislaine Maxwell: "It was to get exculpatory information about Donald Trump and then reward her ... How often does a prisoner allegedly facing threats or danger get moved to a less secure facility? Think about it. It doesn't pass the test of common sense."
I went down a random wikipedia rabbithole and ended up on Tallulah Bankhead. Turns out, she's a bad-ass bitch, maybe the most interesting woman in the world. She's just the hero I need. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tallula...
![Bankhead's father had warned her to avoid alcohol and men when she got to New York; Bankhead later quipped "He didn't say anything about women and cocaine."[9] The Algonquin's wild parties introduced Bankhead to marijuana and cocaine, of which she later remarked "Cocaine isn't habit-forming and I know because I've been taking it for years."[10] Bankhead did abstain from drinking, keeping half of her promise to her father.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:kajxcalbwdwjed7ghs4crog4/bafkreihpogxb43txrouzw5gmgrlzokotamw4znu6d2n5cc5n5acgwegnfa)
![In 1934, Bankhead had an affair with the artist Rex Whistler who, according to his biographer Anna Thomasson, lost his virginity to her at the age of 29. Offering him what Thomasson calls "an uncomplicated crash-course in sex", Bankhead's glamour and charisma appealed to the "instinctively submissive Rex".[58] One afternoon in early 1934, Bankhead's friend David Herbert called at her suite at the Hotel Splendide in Piccadilly, only to be informed by her maid that "Miss Bankhead is in the bath with Mr Rex Whistler". Hearing Herbert's voice down the hall, Bankhead reportedly shouted, "I'm just trying to show Rex I'm definitely a blonde!"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:kajxcalbwdwjed7ghs4crog4/bafkreic2h2s4damnlzah4jwtlqfq5hduvibt252ocvo6w6l2rhj5epjuhu)

Good-faith concern on this issue would be going, "hmm, professional sports leagues should probably have some standards in place to ensure trans competitors aren't getting an unfair advantage," googling for 5 minutes, realizing every sports league already has those standards and dropping it.
Rodger Sherman@rodger.bsky.social · 6d agoi don't believe anyone has "good-faith" concerns about trans women in sports in 2026. there's been too much time to hear the actual evidence, the actual people affected, and the role the debate plays in attempts to purge trans people from American life. anybody picking that side has made a choice

I’ve reported at length about abuses of foreign farmworkers who come to the U.S. on H-2A visas: stolen wages, guns pointed in their faces. One woman I met was kidnapped, raped and nearly killed. I wanted to know: How do I tell if the produce I buy is part of the problem? 👇
