An actually underrated potential positive for Dems in light of Abdul’s victory is that it gives traditionally centrist or otherwise poor Dems on Palestine on an easy out for polarizing against AIPAC and pro-Israel politics— they’re trying to cost Dems the Senate.

Robert Francis Kennedy, Jr., is a mass murderer who was hired to be Health and Human Services Secretary specifically to kill as many Americans as possible by maximizing the spread of disease. The Republican Party is actively trying to murder you and your family. Defend yourselves accordingly.

for reasons that only make sense if you're insane, a TPUSA kid complaining about burrito costs on xitter has the GOP's biggest divas going for each other's throats.

Whenever one of these freaks goes off on a tangent about their trans conspiracy of the day, the proper response -- from an interviewer or anyone else -- is "well, it seems like you're having some sort of mental breakdown here, so we'll wrap it up"

Royce White is now ranting about "transgender sex dolls" during a forum that is supposed to be about agricultural issues. This guy is a serious Republican in Minnesota who had the party's nomination for a Senate seat two years ago. Insanity.

People are so sick of this bigoted, batshit crankery. Unless you're guzzling lead infused hog water, this sounds like the hateful ramblings of a diseased and diminished mind And the cold, hard truth is that THIS is the median Republican voter now. Republicans are now this dude forever.

watching the candidate forum for the US Senate seat currently held by Tina Smith and it's incredible how Royce White's response to every question is to spout insane conspiracy theories about transgender people and the uniparty. This guy was the GOP's nominee for a Senate seat two years ago!

I recently reported that Bossier Parish, Louisiana, voted for one of the most severe anti-trans bathroom rules I'd ever seen. It begged the question: Why? Enter Aurora + Shae, who were allegedly attacked by an anti-trans mob near a Parish bathroom in May. www.erininthemorning.com/p/trans-coup...

Trans Couple Brutalized At Louisiana Park Bathroom, Then Charged By Police

An angry mob allegedly beat them. The police charged them. The municipality voted for one of the most severe anti-trans bathroom ordinances in the country.

This is worth amplifying (also this podcast is rad), that Roman slavery was, y'know, slavery. In fact, all slavery is horrifying, but the broader 'Mediterranean' slavery tradition (which is also, by the by, the ancestor of Atlantic slavery) is one of the *more extreme* such traditions.

Claire E. Aubin@ceaubin.com · last wk.

Next time someone tries to tell you that Roman slavery was different or better than other forms of slavery, tell them to listen to last week’s episode of @thisguysucked.com and/or buy Emma’s book.

Perhaps powerful men are turning to chatbots because they miss having compliant women they can boss around.

“These ads made no effort to mask the images or hide what they were promoting,” Katie Paul, the director of the TTP, an independent watchdog group, tells WIRED.

It's imperative that the malicious lies and cognitive dissonance which led to millions of marginalized people being vilified and stripped of their rights while those accusing built a literal NEW vector for generating and disseminating CSAM be confronted for it and those responsible for it destroyed.

Over the last nine months, Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta has run dozens of paid ads that include explicit AI-generated child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and images of minors alongside sexually suggestive statements, according to details of the ads shared with WIRED.

Meta has made it repeatedly clear that one of their growth strategies is sexualizing kids. Mark Zuckerberg and his leadership team deserve to face personal liability for this, and the company deserves sanctions up to and including corporate dissolution

Not being funny but if you can’t connect our current moment of resurgent and revanchist violent misogyny driven in part by a deeply embittered Silicon Valley oligarchy to even a ‘well-intentioned’ filmmaker just casually saying, “Imagine, you could fuck an infamously objectified dead woman,” then,

There are more pressing points to take umbrage with in this (maybe bait?) article but... We had an entire week of discourse over the new Star Fox character designs! I talked about it with the normies in my office!! In what world is the art style of the new Star Fox game a "safe bet"!!???

This highlights a profound impact of Trump — the further normalization of violence against women. Trump got elected in spite of his long history of violence against women. He is not held accountable when he continues to abuse women. 1/2

One of the most obvious, odious and obnoxious signs someone has been completely captured and addicted to posting on "X" is the nonstop bigoted discussion of trans people. Twitter artificially boosts the reach of transphobia, reinforces the poster with higher metrics, and the cycle continues forever.
