TMZ stays evil and unethical. The article says AOC and her ex split up YEARS ago, but they’re framing it as something that just happened to capitalize on the sexist outrage over her freezing her eggs. They know the vast majority of people won’t read the article.
And not a single Republican in congress will campaign for his Democratic opponent.
Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social · 2d agoIt's official. Republican Rep. Max Miller is staying in his race in Ohio's 7th — missing all deadlines by which he could drop out in the wake of severe domestic abuse allegations.
Why is this allowed to be said in America without any accountability? Why are even Democrats so quiet about this?
This is like Rowling saying that being assaulted in a bathroom (by a cis man) is why she's a TERF. That sucked and it shouldn't have happened but you're taking it out on people who aren't responsible because you're a bigot who can't separate.
CNN@cnn.com · 4d agoTwenty-five years after the mayor of New York City became the champion of America's grief and resilience at the time of the 9/11 attacks, families of those killed are split on whether the current mayor should attend the annual remembrance. https://cnn.it/4zkKYdc
Artists have a duty to make audiences uncomfortable. Or at a minimum not cater to their discomfort. Really hope this movie flops.
DiscussingFilm@discussingfilm.net · 5d ago‘ONE NIGHT ONLY’ director Will Gluck says they cut out “so much nudity” from the film because he thinks audiences dislike sex on screen. “Whenever people now see nudity or very adult situations in a big theater, they get uncomfortable.” (Source: variety.com/2026/film/fe...)
There is no non-racist reason for excluding him. Acting like this is a legitimate discussion is proof of how right wing our media is.

As we dug into a little-known church, we started to see a pattern: women describing similar abuse; a preacher who knew what was going on. And the same prescription for the problem: forgiving and forgetting it happened. Listen to this episode of "Paper Trail":
The Church That Told Sexually Abused Children to “Forgive and Forget”
A man was convicted of abusing young girls in his church. Preachers had known the allegations for years. So why didn’t they report him to the police?

A fascinating risk given the chances of Dems taking the Senate. Dem Leaders might try to cave but Resist Libs and leftists would be completely united in ensuring that seat stays open until a Dem president is in office. Honestly the Resist Libs might go even harder!

Very interesting that I’m getting lots of Katherine Clark ads. I’ve lived in the district for 8 years and never seen an ad once. I haven’t found any polling but her losing would be crazy. Why is she spending money on herself and not swing seats?

A guy was standing in front of the train doors while people were getting off, like right in the middle. I’m so proud of myself cuz I said “There are still people getting off, move.” No please, no nice qualifiers, just MOVE.
This shit is the result of Charlie Baker spending his entire term not funding the T properly after years and years of neglect. MA voters keep electing squishes as governor because they don’t actually want to fund the things they claim to support. Appearing progressive vs actually living it.

"Cool dude, see you in discovery!" is the obvious UNO Reverse card to Trump's attempts to bully organizations by suing them for a trillion dollars. It's a massive indictment of the US system that one after another institutions and major organizations settled and paid bribes rather than play it.

If we do manage to take back congress these fuckers need to be held in contempt every single time they pull this bullshit. They can be scared of Trump all they want but hold them in contempt every single time. If they get a pardon you bring them back in and do it again.
