What's the difference between a landlord who sneaks into your apartment to rifle through your underwear drawer and an AG who sues for your abortion records? The state health director keeping a spreadsheet of women’s periods isn’t any less creepy than the abusive ex who still tracks your location.
Republicans are trying to make the news cycle about anything other than Donald Trump and his incredibly unpopular domestic and foreign policy agenda. That’s why they set up this Fauci hearing. And everyone is taking the bait
Thinking about Yiddish curses and remembering what they used to say about the Austrian: "The day you die will be a Jewish holiday." "Which Jewish holiday?" "Whatever day you die will be a Jewish holiday."
I guess we're at the *checks notes* Selling of Indulgences stage of the Dark Ages. Again.

I just want to make it clear that our elections are administered at the state, county and local level and there is backup and protection processes every single vote. State machines are randomly assigned to precincts with no predictability. VZ is not the US. Again, everything is so dumb.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3w agoTrump's big evidence that the 2020 election was rigged is some shit that happened in Venezuela
Any good reporter worth their salt understands this truth.
Jay Rosen@jayrosen.bsky.social · 3w agoYep.
We set the world on fire so like 50 people could get unimaginably wealthy
Journalists: please, please get ready for this in ADVANCE. We know Trump's going to claim "new evidence shows the 2020 election was stolen". You've got 3 days to write a story that confronts that lie head-on before he says it - pre-write this like an obit. America is begging you: plan ahead. 1/
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3w agoit's even dumber than you think
A lot of men like to contest what actually counts as rape because they remember incidents in their own sex lives and they're very sure they're not rapists so clearly it's the definition of rape that is wrong
Bravo to these judges, who are traveling around the country to educate the public about the importance of the rule of law!
Danny Miller@danielmilleresq.bsky.social · 4w agoThis is so powerful. Inspired by the March of a Thousand Robes in Poland, retired and sitting judges in the United States walked down the streets of Columbus, Ohio to stand up for the Rule of Law. #JusticeinMotion
A Christianity rooted in patriarchy will always define women first and foremost by their relationship to men. A Christianity rooted in the gospel of Jesus will see women first and foremost as human beings created in God's image. May we understand the difference.
Not sure who needs to hear this but admitting you're wrong doesn't kill you instantly
Whether it be reflecting pools or fireworks or state fairs or soccer teams, everything Donald touches turns to crap.
The writers of this season continue to be a tad on the nose.

For America's 250th, I read Frederick Douglass’ speech, “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?” on the House floor—for the first time in history. His speech endures as a mirror & mandate for us all—to confront our inequities while fighting for an America as good as its promise.
Looking at the crowd shots, and two things jump out; The Stewards all have SSPX branded Hi Vis. Everyone has white baseball caps on. Do they read "Make Catholicism Great Again"? Because they have that aura.
Here’s what the Supreme Court should have written this week. “Mr. President, take what isn’t yours. This high Court has no quarrel with a Constitutional robber baron. Pick our pockets and clean our clocks, but please don’t take our robes, for we are naked underneath them!”
Date yourself with a snap of your first ever computer.

me talking to magically resurrected founding father: and so sir you can see how the supreme court has become a deeply illegitimate institution that threatens the very republic you created founding father: there are *how many* papists on it???
BY a 5-4 margin, the U.S. Supreme Court has determined the U.S. Constitution has plain words that actually mean what they say. In a dissenting opinion, Justices Alito, Thomas, Gorsuch & Kavanaugh argue they are dread pirates and therefore the U.S. Constitution is more a guideline than a hard rule.
