And to be clear University students have a variety of opinions, but no power over the decisions the U makes. People who control institutions have a much narrower band of opinions.

The problem is not trans people. The problem is discrimination against trans people.

The horror is not caused by being trans, but by the society that does not accept trans people 😔

Rage gap relationship (stereotypical hetero relationship)

just to be clear, the ideal outcome of all this is that the GOP realizes that gerrymander wars are at best a wash for them, and agree to back national anti gerrymandering legislation.

I need to do that, even though I mostly use the county library

Ya... It kind of strikes me as similar to Platner. Here's a guy who I might agree with on many/most policy positions, but who has some clear red flags* and is not committed to liberation for all people.

*connections to Nazism should be disqualifying for public office, duh.

I'm not Catholic, but isn't their whole thing that correct theology is whatever the Pope says it is?

Next do universal basic income

Spending a lot of time ripping out crab grass by hand so my clover can take root out back, and it has me meditating a lot on what it means to take out fascists.

We always used to say it was whack-a-mole, it wasn't.

Successful antifascism in a democracy is a practice of weeding

So what they really need is for their dads to give them a hug and say, I'm proud of you.

Looking at manosphere guys in general, they aren't actually interested in women, in that they don't see them as full people and so they aren't interested in what they think but only as a conquest. Really they're interested in approval and validation from other men.

Yeah, Mackenzie Scott is a fascinating case. She is literally ignoring the SOPs of philanthropy in order to give away wealth as quickly and efficiently as possible and she’s still getting richer. At her level it is impossible not to make money. Tax billionaires, A LOT.

4-3-3
Reale, Sonnet, Sams, Patterson
Yohannes, Hutton (C), Moultrie
Sears, Sentnor, Shaw

It's weird because the graphic is wrong. C'mon ESPN

Screenshot from ESPN app. At top of the score, USA: 0 to Japan: 0 at 5'. It shows the US team in a 4-4-2 with Reale, Moultrie, Sears, and Patterson on the back line; Youannes, Shaw, Sams, and Hutton in the midfield; and Sentnor and Sonnet forward. Phallon Tullis-Joyce is in goal

This USWNT formation is weird

Ok hear me out, marketing poster that looks like an NBA 2K26 cover, but NYC 2-K '26

Really highlights how insecure they are, constantly worried about how they compare to others. Contrast that with the completely unconcerned interviewer.

I guarantee women would rather be with a secure man than a hyper-attractive one

Seems to give into the false image of a small, family-run farm rather than a huge corporate-run farm

We should disabuse ourselves of the notion that this rhetoric comes from a place of good faith. Whether the attack is on young people, black people, or trans people it's just reinforcing existing power structures, protecting white male hegemonic power.

They weren't directly protesting Biden either, right? Most wanted their schools to divest from companies supporting atrocities. If they wouldn't listen then, under a friendlier Biden admin, why would they now under a more hostile trump admin?

This is a core question & the right has no answer. Their real answer is simply Wilhoit-ism: we are good & right, therefore anything we do is good & right. They are bad & wrong, thus anything they do is bad & wrong.

It's not torture or genocide when we do it, because we're good! QED

A WHOLE CIVILIZATION WILL DIE TONIGHT My son needs lunch, and I have to put his backpack together, but a whole civilization will die tonight, so I'm wondering if they've closed their schools. Like, a snow day, maybe, except instead of snow it's "keep your children home so if you die, you die together" — instead of "well open back up once the plows have cleared" it's "we don't know if we'll be here tomorrow, hold your babies tight." It's just "talk" I'm told, which I've been told before. "It's how the president makes his deals." But I've never heard anyone talk about other human beings this way, and I'm not certain I can look my son in the eyes if we all agree to stomach it one more time. A civilization will die tonight, but as I zip up his backpack and kiss him off to school I think: if this is what we call leadership then I'm not entirely sure ours isn't already dead. @michaelfdubois Mukad A QuBoy @michacifdubois

Brutal.

I am here for messaging that the THREAT alone - regardless of if it's carried out or walked back - should end his presidency.

The die is already cast. You cannot wield the power that man has and say that kind of shit.

I think it helps to live in an alternate reality

No you don't, you're just racist. Grabbing non white people has nothing to do with immigration (a civil offense).

People like you happily handed their Jewish neighbors to the Nazis

Ron Burgundy is asking "San Diego is good at soccer?

Ed Harken asking "Damn it! Who typed a question mark on the teleprompter?"

Current #NWSL table after week 4-5.

Banners hanging in front are a wave, an ACE flag, and a silhouette of Alex Morgan. Floating through the air is pink and white smoke

Let's go!

Had a great time with Mike doing this interview, he’s an excellent reporter and a good dude.

You don’t see a fraction of the same support for FKA Twigs, Meg Thee Stallion, Evan Rachel Wood, Blake Lively, god forbid Amber Heard… these women risk and sometimes lose everything to come forward, while accused celebrity men just sit idly around for a couple years and then sell out stadiums again
