Why read past headlines: I don't just rebut the MAGA myth that young women reject marriage.
I expose how cynical this lie is. They're encouraging male audiences to embrace attitudes that leave them lonely and bitter.
All just to make money.

Again: the scandal isn’t anything Zohran did, it is the story itself
@nytimes.com
The vampire has been about many things in many cultures, anxieties about infection/blood, sex, death, and the power of women’s bodies (the yakshi in Kerala, for eg), but in modern societies there is truly no more vampiric an entity than the billionaire seeking power, longevity and even more wealth
"Trump is claiming a constitutional power to immunize private parties to commit otherwise illegal acts with impunity."
"the Constitution does not give presidents the power to dispense with laws — a power that the British king used to have."
Today of all days. No kings.
We must not leave this out of the account of what they have done. What Musk and Trump and Vought did. What Johnson and his band of sycophants allowed them to do. What tens of millions of fellow Americans endorse.
Israel: Kills Palestinians getting aid
NY Times: Hamas run health ministry in turmoil
Whitney Tilson: Mamdani wants to kill Jews
NY Times: We recommend you endorse Tilson
Donald Trump: I hate all Democrats
NY Times: Trump takes a victory lap!
Meanwhile when it comes to Mamdani's policies...

The bill eliminates the $200 registration fee for gun silencers, short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns & other easily concealable guns (that actually goes towards registering, background checks, etc)
It adds fees for dialysis patients to be able to receive necessary treatment to stay alive
Once this POS bill is signed into law, state legislators will have to figure out how do we generate billions of dollars in *recurring* revenue to keep people from losing their health coverage and losing their SNAP benefits at a time when they’re impounding billions of federal education dollars.
Please remember this torture happened to *every single person* who was kidnapped by ICE and sent to a foreign concentration camp without due process.
It doesn’t matter if they were citizens or even if they were criminals.
Every case is a violation of our Constitution and of Trump’s oath. #IMPEACH
MAGA makes no secret of their inhumanity.
imagine joking about millions of people including children & the elderly, devoured by alligators.
The two missions of the Roberts Court are to invent rules that bind Democratic presidents, and exceptions that liberate Republican presidents to do as they see fit ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/trump...
Re: Diddy being acquitted on sex trafficking charges, one of the reasons the MeToo backlash has been so effective is because the court system enables a commentary class to say the absence of a guilty verdict means that women and victims are liars. In reality it’s incredibly hard and rare to convict
Say it!
$45 billion for ethnic cleansing
His victims got on the stand and shared some of the most horrific stories and he was acquitted anyway.
This is why I get so angry when people blame victims for not speaking up or walking away. Why? Who will protect them, believe them, and guarantee proper justice?
A majority in the United States Senate voted to kill many of their own citizens today in order to make rich people richer.
Sometimes you have to type it out to fully grasp what has just happened.
IDAHO AMBUSH: the killing of firefighters is the latest in a surge of targeted violence and terrorism in America. A top program for preventing such attacks was just shut down by the Trump administration. Here’s my reporting and interview with its former leader: www.motherjones.com/politics/202... 1x
The Trump administration has released a three-time felon and five-time deported immigrant because he's going to testify against zero-time felon Abrego - all to cover their tracks for mistakenly and illegally sending Abrego to El Salvador and then lying about it to the court to cover it up.
1 in 4 nursing homes will shut down. Who will take care of all those people? Are you ready to do 24/7 home heath care for your aging parents and grandparents? This is what the Republicans are putting on us.
Update: Latest estimate confirms between Medicaid cuts and ACA rollback, total health care cuts in the Republican budget bill are now OVER $1 trillion.
With this budget, ICE alone would have nearly as large a detention operation as all 50 states' prison systems combined. Bigger budget than the Marine Corps. Police-state levels of spending
there is no jurisprudence at work here. the republican court believes that anything a republican president is presumptively constitutional, even if it directly violates the unambiguous constitutional text and causes total chaos in law and policy.
The story of Peterson’s sacrifice during WWII is incredible — and it took a long time before the family got the memorial service and honor befitting his heroism: https://web.archive.org/web/20120203165344/http://magicvalley.com/news/local/article_8becda12-c99a-5d08-b6e6-3489d21e4770.html Quote Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth @SecDef · 5h I am pleased to announce that the United States Navy is renaming the USNS Harvey Milk to the USNS Oscar V. Peterson. We are taking the politics out of ship naming.
This post by Jake Tapper really misses the point. Surely there was another boat or something they could name for Fred Peterson. But the issue here is how Hegseth is taking away an honor from Harvey Milk simply because he was gay.
Let’s be real: this ain’t about “protecting life.” It’s about weaponizing poverty and race to strip away care, choice, and dignity from communities that dare to seek basic care in a system already built to fail them. (2/2)
“I promise you, it would have been a war crime.” that’s what Alejandro Barranco told me what would have happened if he treated a detainee when he was deployed to Afghanistan with the Marines like federal agents treated his father.
Socialism is what they called public power.
Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.
—Harry Truman, 1952
As J. Sotomayors dissent says, the Republican Justices seem to think the Trump admin is injured “any time a court orders…it to refrain from doing something it would like to do.”
But it cares nothing for the people sent to countries they don’t know - places they’re at risk of slavery, torture, more.
Emphasizing: it's working. It's bringing in millions & millions of new followers. People, just ordinary folks, normies, think they're tuning in for celebrity gossip -- and they get a huge dose of sexism. They're defending Baldoni, defending Depp -- they're currently *defending Harvey Weinstein*.
