My heart hurts too much to even say something ironic about this. What if we just fucking start fighting for every single precious human life before they’re under attack. What if we treat now like it matters as much as it does.

the thing I hate most about being a democrat is watching people who agree with each other on 80% of things go full nuclear on things while the Republicans just roll into power and the only things they agree on are we like money and hate gay people black people foreigners and needles
This is deadass every republican campaign ad here in the south. I'm not even REMOTELY JOKING.
The only responsible attitude for liberals and progressives to align on is that all right-wing grievances, claims and believes are not only false, but malicious lies. Nothing passes the mouth of an American conservative in public life that is not meant to harm and destroy the lives of millions.

See, when Hunter Biden consorted with prostitutes, that was everybody's business, but Barron Trump palling around with accused sex traffickers is a private matter.
nobody is giving fox news more headlines about how democrats can't win general elections than moderate candidates and their supporters in the media
G Elliott Morris@gelliottmorris.com · 2w agoWhat 'moderation' really means is adopting the views of a very small group of loud, centrist writers and their big business backers, and is increasingly out of step with (a) the big problems in the US and (b) the polling on what Americans say are the biggest problems they want government to fix.

No amount of ranting about an election that happened six years ago can overcome the sheer math of what Trump & Republicans are facing this fall.

To say that European Jewish culture failed because it did not stop Nazism is to say it is the sole obligation of the marginalized community to win their own rights. It’s like arguing trans culture has failed because of US politics today. It’s placing a failure of all of humanity onto one group.
Joel S.@joelhs.bsky.social · 4w agoDeborah Lipstadt, scholar of antisemitism and former Biden admin official, is agreeing with a post arguing the German 19th century Wissenschaft des Judentums field failed because it did not stop Nazism. We've moved from "the Bund failed because of Nazism" to "all of European Jewish history failed."
Can the GOP recruit a single dude who doesn't look softer than baby shit to say this stuff?

I was a lifelong liberal Democrat. Then I watched Graham Platner's 11 minute monologue about how the party pushed him out just for being a rapist.
I will grant you the courtesy of assuming you have not seen the number of people who are clearly using "AIPAC" as a synecdoche for "the global conspiracy of Jewish money and the secret Jewish cabal that controls the world", but it is the overwhelming majority of uses.

As I’ve been saying, he’s been an extraordinarily weak general election candidate since the general election started. And in this political environment, when Texas, Ohio, Iowa, and Alaska are freaking tossups, the Democrat in Maine should be running circles around Susan Collins. This is no loss
G Elliott Morris@gelliottmorris.com · 4w agoHere's the definitive numbers take on Graham Platner: He's bad.

Since the nation’s independence, male sex workers have been intertwined with America’s history. Their existence has been reviled, criminalized, and scapegoated, but rarely acknowledged openly. From @rewirenewsgroup.com:
America’s 250th anniversary marks 250 years of male sex work
From “gigolos” to Chippendales dancers, men have been selling sex since colonial days. Their history illustrates how sexual behavior and gender norms have changed over the past 250 years.

Nowhere Men Mean Mr. Trump thought he could get by with a little help from his friends, and his Fab Four agreed we should strip immigrants of citizenship so they have to work in strawberry fields forever. We're so sorry Uncle Donald, but two of your piggies don't want a revolution. by Maureen Dowd
