It’s kind of crazy that this is going to be revelatory for a lot of people while idiots who post online have known this incredibly important information for years and years at this point

The 3-hour-and-45-minute “Musk” (plus a 10-minute intermission) hits theaters on Oct. 16, but it’s already causing a stir. The documentary paints Elon Musk as an emotionally unstable grifter with more power and influence than perhaps any other human. https://wapo.st/4ydlXzL

it’s even worse than this. Roberts cut a deal *with the liberals* to trade the exchanges for the mandatory Medicaid expansion, and they agreed to it because judges don’t know shit about policy or have any policy staff

probably the most heavily debated "policy" in my lifetime was Obamacare and the result of it was not that any of the debates got resolved, John Roberts just randomly took a meat clever and excised like half the stuff in it on a whim. Who cares if that's how actual policy gets made.

This is (a) easy (b) the principled position and (c) also the pure strategy play. Nobody switches their vote R->D because a Dem dipped their toe in the cesspool of transphobia. But it can contribute towards sporadic lean-D voters not bothering to vote, and no amount of lecturing will prevent that.

Erin Reed@erininthemorning.com · 13h ago

Some Dems are running away from trans people. Abdul El-Sayed, Dem Senate Candidate in Michigan, is running towards them. When asked, he fully and unequivocally support trans youth care as a matter between parents, patients, and doctors. Subscribe to support our journalism.

something that really came out of this discussion: labour's anti-trans lurch was so shocking & horrific that it's costing the *democrats* votes

Toby Buckle@polphilpod.bsky.social · 20h ago

it's worth separating 3 things: 1. i couldn't personally vote for a dem who "moderated" on trans rights 2. i want to persuade other social media users to oppose dems going this 3. i want to pressure party leadership not to "moderate" through a strategy of mass abstention

Attempting to frame these bigots like they’re brave pragmatists breaking from some kind of stalwart trans-affirming norm is the type of enormous lie where the ground should open up to pneumatic-tube you directly to hell.

An increasing number of Democratic leaders have begun to push back against their party’s unflinching support for the transgender community this midterm season. The shift comes after years of Republican-backed attacks against Democrats on the issue of transgender athletes.

For these guys, it was never about illegal immigration, it was never about cultural assimilation. You can be born in America, drinking beer as you cheer on the Longhorns, but its not enough if you are not white.

Benny Johnson and Jack Posobiec defended Bo French’s racist post, saying that “there’s nothing wrong with wanting Texas to stay Texas” and “I don't see anything hateful about it” www.mediamatters.org/benny-johnso...

what's crazy to me about this is that there are Indian and Asian students at every flagship university in Texas because that's who lives here and gets into our top colleges. It was like this a decade ago!!!

tree, in pain 🏕️@treepaineburner.bsky.social · 11h ago

my only thoughts on the Ed thing - not shocking or surprising from Mr. Neutrality but you’re kinda a goofball for picking Macklemore in the first place and thinking it wouldn’t be political? That’s kind of on you bro! poor planning/foresight & got yourself into a PR mess that could have been avoided

Pam Keith@pamkeithdc.bsky.social · 11h ago

The stadium owners who have no pro al with avowed antisemite Kanye West performing on their stages, have a problem with Macklemore? This isn’t about antisemitism. This is about Israel. Just like EVERYTHING these days. Funny how the “anti-cancel culture” folks are oddly silent.

War-Bird: CEO of Freedom@warbirdactual.bsky.social · 12h ago

Gets even better, Robert Kraft the guy who cancelled Mackelmore not only loves Kanye "heil hitler" West but he is also a huge zionists and also a prolific pedophile in the epstein files as well as being a convicted sex trafficker.

Can’t make this up, the people calling Macklemore an “anti-Semite” for saying free Palestine have no problem with “heil Hitler” kenye west lol

Eric Blair@protecttruth.bsky.social · 13h ago

There’s a famous pic of Robert Kraft giving a Super Bowl ring to Putin. There is probably not a better single example of “worldwide group of billionaire oligarchs aiming to destroy democracy so they can rule us” than Robert Kraft.

New: Macklemore says Robert Kraft — who owns Gillette Stadium, where Macklemore & Ed Sheeran were to perform later this month — called Sheeran. Kraft rallied other owners together behind an ultimatum for Sheeran: if Macklemore stays on the tour, you won't be allowed in our venues.

I'm not sure how to start this. So I'm going to speak from the heart and share the truth. Ed Sheeran and his team have made the decision to remove me from The Loop tour. But before I get into it, I want to say something that should be obvious. In this moment I think it matters. I am not a victim. Ed Sheeran is not a victim. Pink is not a victim. We have careers, money, opportunities, safety and audiences around the world. Whatever consequences any of us face for what we say, we get to go home to our families. The victims are the Palestinian people. The men, women and children who have been killed, starved, displaced and forced to live through unimaginable violence. More than 20,000 children have been killed in Gaza alone. People are being killed today, and people will be killed tomorrow. I want to make sure that as I tell this story, we don't lose sight of that. Ed is my friend. I've known him for 13 years. We've shared late nights, studio sessions and stages. He has this infectious magic about him that I've grown to love. I consider him a brother. And because of that, we've had some difficult conversations this past week. The type of talks rooted in love and respect for one another that still end in a place of fundamental disagreement. Nothing I'm writing here is out of spite or because I want to tear down his character. But as I told Ed multiple times on the phone, our friendship can't change my responsibility to tell the truth about what happened. Last Monday, in the middle of all the media attention surrounding Pink and what I said at MetLife, Ed told me that Robert Kraft called him. We were scheduled to play Gillette Stadium later this month, which is owned by the Kraft Group. Ed told me that Kraft said I would not be allowed to perform in his stadium. Ed also told me that Kraft had rallied some of the other stadium owners and collectively they gave him an ultimatum: if Macklemore stays on the tour, you will not be allowed to play in our venues. Ed was in …
