Fuck off, rapist.

Maine. Seriously.

Andreaformaine.com. Sign up for one of my virtual town halls. I’m more than happy to prove why I’m the best person to take on Susan Collins.

Ugh! Fuckin’ Dale Fuschek!

This thread is a wealth of Catholic context. I wasn’t aware that right wing converts are that big a thing now. I’ve resisted returning to the church, but I might be willing to do it out of antifascist spite.

Please!

Clay Travis tweet reads Donald Trump has made hyperbolic comments as part of negotiation tactics for a full decade, especially on social media, and yet people still run around like insane people reacting to his posts on here. I truly don't get it.

"I'm a full-grown adult and I don't understand why everyone is getting all bent out of shape about the President threatening to exterminate an entire country at 8:00 p.m.!"

In honor of a judge halting Trump's ballroom construction today:

A sidewalk in South County St. Louis filled with protestors.

I came to protest in South St. Louis County rather than the big one downtown and the honking hasn’t stopped by passing cars since I got here at 11:00. But I’ve only seen four MAGA tantrums. The crowd is on average older than the downtown crowds I’ve been among. America is PIIIIIIIISSSSSSSED.

To me Judaism is about a shared culture & religion that stresses that we were once oppressed, we remain a small minority, so no matter how assimilated or successful we may be: we must always fight for civil liberties & civil rights & the opportunity that comes from scholarship & community engagement

I can’t believe I have to explain this, but “The Jews” didn’t start this war, Netanyahu did. He’s no more a representative of Judaism than JD Vance and Steve Bannon are representative of Catholicism.

I've been an @warren.senate.gov fan since I read "The Two Income Trap" over a decade ago and started buying copies for friends and family.

This is a betrayal of basic decency and won't be forgiven or forgotten without a public mea culpa. No Senate seat is worth white-washing the Nazi tattoo guy.

In honor of Black History Month, here's a thread with one book recommendation a day.

“It is critically fucking important that I get to remain sheltered and ignorant of the reality of workplace discrimination!” How whiny do you have to be to go this hard at corporate attempts at DEI? How pathetic do you have to be to decry workplace harassment training? Grow the fuck up, Chucky!

Is this an admission that when Noem and Trump name their enemies that they are deliberately increasing threats?

there is really no difference between the current administration and having the country run by david duke

To a truly bad person, hearing that you’re a bad person is incredibly damaging. But sometimes it’s a necessary damage.

This might be a little galaxy-brained, but I'm starting to think those who want to eliminate autism are largely driven by the fact that autistic people have ZERO problem pointing out moral or ethical lapses in their peers, which is something amoral and unethical people HATE.

This might be a dumb question, but if they can’t release details of the people under investigation, doesn’t that still leave any records about Republicans eligible for release?

Attempted to call Durbin this morning. Four of his five offices aren’t taking coveralls and calls aren’t connecting to staff. Poor Rock Island office is only one getting the message this morning.

It was speculated. Now it’s confirmed. The most predictable criminal enablement possible.

Working class whites are triggered into voluntary servitude by explicit appeals to racism from the ruling class.

Dick Cheney walked so Donald Trump could run this country into the ground.

Note that when Trump builds The Beast all the right-wing conspiracies about government tracking completely evaporate.

Next you’re going to tell me this isn’t first time! /s/

Meanwhile, my conservative counterparts have only grown louder and more vicious. It’s like tone-policing only works on one side of the political spectrum, which is strategically advantageous to the other side.

Someday, we need to have a conversation about how conflict-averse people cede the political landscape to those who don’t care about your life, let alone your feelings.

As I aged, my politics have moved further left, but my willingness to share my passionate opinions in public has waned.

Also? What does it say about Platner that he woke up with a mysterious tattoo on his chest and didn’t even ONCE research what it meant over the next 17 years?

Let’s say Platner was drunk when he got the tattoo in 2007. So what? Was he drunk for the next 17 years as he saw it on his own chest in the bathroom mirror every morning? If I get drunk and get a Pikachu tattoo on my chest, I can’t be offended 17 years later when people assume I’m into Pokémon.

The tattoo is from 2007. He was using “gay” as a slurs up till 2021. Jacobin may accept that he turned over a new leaf since then, but most of us can smell the bullshit you don’t seem to notice.
