I really wish billionaires in general would think more like Mackenzie Scott and less like Steyer. (And I say this as someone who has more or less been pleasantly surprised by Pritzker.)
What findings are there to reject? That AOC is more unpopular than Newsom & Bernie is as unpopular as Whitmer?
What, other than differences in name ID, does this supposedly tell us?
Meantime, women are just trying to survive misogyny.
Maine just banned medical debt collectors from putting liens on people’s homes or garnishing their wages. Gov. Janet Mills signed LD 2129 into law this month—after nearly half of Maine households reported taking on medical debt in the last two years.
I am so tired of this horseshit.
They can evolve or they can die. IDGAF.
I'm so tired of this "false sense of victimization" these weak men feel.
"Oh no, women don't worship. Women don't want me. Women are too independent. Women should be sex toys. Women shouldn't have rights."
Like fuck that. Only weak men are screaming victimization.
All in all, 32 states are holding supreme court elections in 2026. These races will decide over 60 seats. Two states already resolved their contests—conservatives won in Arkansas, and liberals in Wisconsin. Nineteen states are holding regular elections for their supreme courts this year, meaning races where candidates can challenge incumbent judges or run for an open seat. How those work is straightforward; think of what you’re used to seeing for Congress or governor. But 13 states are holding retention elections, which are simple up-or-down votes, with no challengers, where voters decide if a judge who is already on the court should stay in office.
All in all, 32 states are holding supreme court elections this year, deciding over 60 seats. These courts could determine key issues including abortion access and redistricting across the country.
Our new guide explores what’s at stake in each state:

Yum!
Bernie is testing the limits of just how hypocritical his cultists will allow him to be with this endorsement. lol
Please point out where they said that was their biggest takeaway.
if you respond like this to people 6 years later expressing that the social isolation of peak Covid was hard for them, congratulations: you are a huge asshole

It's really fuckin' weird how "we have to reach out to voters across the aisle" got Biden, Harris, and other normie Dems absolutely excoriated over the last 5+ years, but the moment *progressives* say it, everyone claps like a bunch of trained seals.
Liz Cheney says we all need to support Harris? That's proof Dems were always the real fascists.
The left says we need to support MTG? That's just a moral embrace of the poor marginalized right wing extremist lunatics that Dems are always so mean to.
And of course rural Black and Brown and Asian and Indigenous people may as well be invisible for all the attention brought to their viewpoints.
And yeah, I don't have kids for the same reason I don't drive: I know I'd suck at it and the world doesn't need me doing badly things that could hurt other people.
But just OWN that while being a good parent requires a lot of selflessness, the reasons people have for going into it can often be based on the self, and not the best interests of your future kid.
I also bristle a bit when nonparents are described as "selfish" and then the reasons given for having kids are a laundry list of selfishness: someone to always love me, take care of me in my old age, pass on my family name/legacy, etc. Not even saying people w/those reasons can't be good parents!
THIS. I have family members who are rural white and they can't stand Trump. But somehow nobody ever seeks those voices out at the diners.
Why do they need special invitations to do the right thing? And why would we trust them as allies if they do?
If you’re an organizer who affirms feelings over facts you should just fucking stay home & watch TV instead of contributing to the problem
It would be a better world if people who aren't actually interested in the work and committment it takes to be parents would stop trying to be parents. It's not about getting mini-me friends for life. (I know I say this as a non-parent, but it's precisely BECAUSE I realized how much work it takes.)
LBJ signed Medicaid and Medicare into law. He also signed VRA and CRA. I think we know what bills drove white voters over to the GOP.
I always say they're like John Travolta's character in "Pulp Fiction" telling Harvey Keitel "A PLEASE would be nice!"
Am I supposed to invite them over for dinner or something? Do these weird, not actually progressive, just mad at Trump voters know they can just vote for progressive candidates without being welcomed into some club that doesn’t even exist. Why do they need a pat on the back for finding empathy?
I hope so many of these men experience the "male loneliness epidemic" to the point of dying utterly alone, unloved and unmourned. It seems fitting for those who actively cheered on the abuse of women and children.
