I am ready to lead with petty - the pettier the better for this man’s next two years. I’d prefer him broken, bankrupt and in jail… but I’ll take constantly humiliated, if needs must.

Obviously this is racist and gross, but it's also shockingly historically illiterate? No one who has taken a single high school world history course would deny that Arab culture has produced incredible science and literature. This is why we need basic humanities education.

Educational Thread

it's really, really fucking infuriating to be ruled by public officials so unbelievably, unfathomably, stupidly fucking racist such that you can't really finish your thoughts on the matter out loud because they are in fact public officials

You know what pissed me off about the Ramaswamy ad beyond the obvious grotesqueries? There’s no EVIDENCE disputing Acton’s life story. There are court proceedings backing up her story. And all Ramaswamy’s got is the (accused) mother saying “nu uh” and somehow that’s enough? FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY

Newsletter is up. Turns out, I don’t like ads. I don’t like campaign ads mocking rape victims. I don’t like AI ads. Uhh, like and subscribe… because i don’t like ads :)

Good win. We're going to have to run the table with these lawsuits, which will come fast and thick as we approach the election and for weeks after.

What in the ever loving racist incorrect mouth dropping is this??? The Arab world “produces” plenty of “science”… which is all the more impressive since the West periodically bombs all their shit.

And the killer is out on bail - so fucking wrong! Two “justice” systems needs fixing!

All because of a lane change.

Will anyone—anyone at all—ask Trump about the rape allegations published in an official report by the House Judiciary Democrats? Or will he continue to escape accountability for his violence?

A serial rapist was elected twice as President, a fact we don't reckon with nearly enough. Now one of two major political parties has been molded in his image, run for and by violent sexual abusers who hate women.

Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Another thing to note: The internal investigation finished in under a month. Because of the SPOG contract, It takes SPD up to TWO YEARS to fire cops with nearly the same evidence of criminal behavior.

The ex-girlfriend of a Mulkiteo cop found her younger sister's nudes on his phone. Now he's facing a criminal investigation.

#Wisconsin ... and everywhere else: Do this.

NEW: I'm joining a coalition of AGs demanding answers from Meta for suspending the No Kings Coalition's Instagram during nationwide protests. Meta must protect legitimate political activity of its platforms. We won't let Big Tech censor activism ahead of Election Day.

I asked my cats if they will disavow the Muslim Brotherhood. Their answer was disturbing.

A judge ruled prosecutor Maurene Comey’s firing unlawful. Flávio Bolsonaro was ordered to surrender his passports and cannot leave Brazil due to his involvement in pending criminal activity.

Washington state voters "why do all of our politicians cater to Boomers" Also Washington state voters:

Thought I couldn’t hate AI videos more, then this slop comes along and I find I loathe AI to a much higher degree!

That's our mayor.

🚨 Hell the F no. War criminal Pete Hegseth, after causing death & destruction w/Trump in Iran, & blowing up fishing boats w/ humans aboard for shiz & giggles, wants to try to escape into the Senate. Thomas Massie says he will force an impeachment process vote right after midterms. 🧾 trib.al/JGAOk2i

The cost of living is too high & Black families across Pittsburgh are feeling the pressure. From rising housing costs to healthcare, working people are being asked to do more with less. I’m grateful to Dr. Asa Lee & Pittsburgh’s Black clergy for making space for this important conversation.

if you refuse the opportunity to vaccinate your pets then you are too stupid to be responsible for your own life, much less anything else’s

Fellow WA voters, let's bury this. I can't imagine any parent wants to subject their child to this vile "examination."

Anyway, that was this year's mammogram sorted. If you are of the appropriate demographic and have access to such a thing: GO GET YOURS. They're important!

Fox & Friends' substitute co-host is married to a Trump cabinet official and it shows www.mediamatters.org/rachel-campo...

Republican Shellie Flockhart, who called Iowa Democratic House candidate Sarah Trone Garriott "dangerous" for kids, actually pleaded guilty to endangering kids herself after authorities said she drove drunk with her children in the car in 2017.

For those of you who have never heard of Shiva Ayyadurai, this lawsuit is the just the tip of the iceberg. Dude is definitely in the running for the most unhinged guy on the far right.

NEW: A second archbishop, William Joensen of Des Moines, has apologized for the Oval Office prayer over President Trump led by Denver Archbishop James Golka. Golka has blamed the media for “headlines, which are often crafted to provoke.”

this might rank as one of the most important outcomes of the night if it happens. would give dems the ability to begin to make north carolina a democracy

I keep on saying: we are in the middle of a constitutional crisis: our government is going to fail at basic things in the 120th Congress unless you impeach Russell Vought on Day One.

A group of former federal prosecutors and human rights lawyers is coming together to investigate political corruption and law enforcement violence that it says is being ignored by the Trump DOJ. "The rule of law is on life support, but it's all of our responsibility to make sure it doesn't die."

Trump called elections in Brazil “rigged”

There are around 36,000 people in Perry County, Ohio. Ramaswamy managed to get 36 of them to come by. I’ve seen busier yard sales.

Why would Cornel West, a man who serves on the board of a far right education group with Christopher Rufo, do this?

vivek's hairstyle kind of looks like dessert at the cheesecake factory

Lately I've been pretending that he was Ukrainian.

Anthropic’s S-1 filing is hundreds of pages long—and it leaves out quite a few financial details. “Anthropic owes investors more information,” one analyst tells WIRED.
