Nick McKim has torched Matt Canavan & Angus Taylor for their misogyny, ‘fueling the toxic manosphere”, ‘blaming women’ & making claims of ‘femisation of schools’ “What does that even mean?” “Real men don’t blame women when life gets tough.”💥💯

Conservatives have a major political interest in rejecting Lindsay Clancy’s legal defense. If they concede postpartum psychosis is real, they’ll also have to admit that pregnancy and childbirth are dangerous for women’s mental health. And that could take down their abortion politics entirely

On Labor Day it is wise to remember that PEOPLE SPILLED BLOOD to gain worker rights. Greedy CEOs & execs are always jonesing for slavery & zero environmental regulation.

It's not enough that they pay half the price that households pay for electricity. Now they're going to get cut price gas too! It's time we stopped pandering to Big Tech and their data centres which create no jobs, and use our electricity, water and gas. No more data centres!

All those online gambling-app commercials inundating our TVs = end-stage #Capitalism The worst: Homeless man w/sign “pls give. Lost $ gambling.” A guy hands him phone & he gets on app & wins $.

On this Labor Day, I recommend ppl who attack labor unions read Upton Sinclair’s THE JUNGLE. Graphic, ❤️-wrenching look at Chicago’s meatpacking bsns B4 unions. Workers abused & paid 💩 in horrific working conditions so oligarchs could hoard more 💵

Poe drank out of a "desperate attempt to escape from torturing memories, from a sense of insupportable loneliness, and a dread of some strange impending doom.” Ah, but what strange impending doom did Edgar Allan Poe dread? What did the seer see that affrighted him so?

Violent patriarchy. The leveraging of Lindsay Clancy’s story to demonize all women is violent patriarchy. Society’s silence on the scores of women who die at the hands of men while hyper focusing on the actions of this one woman is violent patriarchy. We have to call that out. 5/5

Every single damn day men kill their family members, including an incident just last week where a man in MT killed 8 members of his family — 4 of them children. But you barely heard a peep about it in the national conversation. Men killing their families is so common there’s a name for it… 1/

The right-wing organizing around the Lindsay Clancy trial is growing and it’s frightening. A lot of people overlook these culture wars revolving around women’s issues, because, well, they’re women’s issues. But the right doesn’t. It’s how they regained such a massive cultural foothold.

2 senate races that SHOULD be Dem landslides: Maine & Texas. But, you know, Maine & Texas. (Rooting for the beleaguered blue dots in those states fighting the good fight & voting in huge numbers) 🤞

This man delivers a no-bullshit takedown of Trump and his MAGA supporters, no fucks given. We should all be this mouthy and vocal. And I love his hat.

I’m running for U.S. Senate because I’m tired of watching working families get squeezed while the wealthiest keep getting more. Working Mainers deserve a fighter in Washington. It’s time to put power back in the hands of the people. Join our movement at jacksonformaine.com.

President Trump, never one to pinch pennies on anything shiny and new, has spent millions of taxpayer dollars on pet construction projects around Washington, D.C. They’re not going well.

As House Minority Leader, Hakeem Jeffries is privy to ALL the intelligence; he’s one of the best-informed humans in the country.
