Elon Musk’s transgender daughter, in first interview, says he berated her for being queer as a child In an exclusive interview, Vivian Jenna Wilson said her father’s recent statements, including that she is “not a girl,” inspired her to speak out: “I’m not just gonna let that slide.”

What a bunch of petulant morons. Is "she hurt our collective feelings" an impeachable offense?

I can't wait for the next avenues of attack Republicans will use on Harris after mocking her for having a sense of humor. How do you even begin to attack her when the Republicans candidate is a lumpy, joyless piece of human shit?

I just saw a Newsmax screenshot that showed that Harris wanted to tax the wealthy, investigate oil companies, begin Medicare for all, and forgive students loan debt. What a great advertisement for her! Leave it up to conservatives to make her sound like the ultimate badass.

Trump vows to ‘drill, baby, drill’ despite rally attendees wilting in extreme heat Supporters hospitalized following rallies in Las Vegas and Phoenix, where temperatures have broken records

Honestly, if this dumbass would have like thirty more of these rallies, the whole MAGA problem could resolve itself.

Amazing how a small paper can do this kind of reporting, but all of the large ones ignore this to drum up fake outrage over Biden.

At its core, current Democratic leadership seems to have no vision. They have a long-running defeatist streak, they are still prone to pointless inter-party fighting, and they still haven't figured out how to rally around policies that benefit their diverse base. Turning on Biden won't change that.

I think it's important for the political left to not only focus on being harbingers of doom. Beating Trump requires more than just telling people how much Project 2025 will fuck our country. Democrats need to sell an alternative vision of inclusion, compassion, and hope.

The world sometimes seems like everything is terrible, but then I see my puppy chasing fireflies in the backyard on a warm summer evening, and I remind myself to try and be present for good things.

Nice to see a currency that will grow steadily over time.

Maybe red states would keep college graduates if the legislatures didn't attack LGBTQ rights, elect attorney generals that do everything they can to block student loan forgiveness, and overall stopped being shitty to anyone with more than a high school diploma.

stories like this give the lie to the idea that the right is interested in protecting these children. per their own narrative, this girl is a victim of “gender ideology” or whatever. but the reaction from the right is always hostility, ostracization and violence.
