poor guy has the hubris, narcissism, misogyny, aversion to truth-telling, and vindictiveness of potus, but — alas! — without the ytness and generational wealth = finds himself capped at 1 term mayor

rough times, indeed

now that’s a good question—I have no idea. maybe reach out to NGL or LCRC (Lawyers Civil Rights Coalition) or ACLU for a referral?

all I know are lawyers for folks in cages.☺️

my favorite genres of yt men are:

(1) perpetually indignant public defenders who passionately represent their clients with humility (the ones without the yt savior complex)

(2) pro-Palestine pro-peace protestors (again, without the yt savior complex)

(3) these guys.👇🏽

The Nation’s Broadcaster (CBC) did a documentary about a Black drag queen.

It’s SO NICE to see so many Black queer Canadian people all in one place

ahhh good ole deflection and defensiveness. nope, certainly not joining us—yet.😉

funny thing about her type is later they tell 1 of 2 lies when [thing they defended] is nearly universally rejected, deemed indefensible:
1) no one told me!
or
2) they told me, but they didn’t tell me nicely enough!

elisabeth epps @elisabethepps.bsky.social · 1d

❤️thanks for sharing this.

isn’t it nice to be a person who can learn, grow, reflect, come to new conclusions when we get new information?

that person might let down their defensiveness and self-correct one day. or maybe they won’t. but it’s better over here on our side. we welcome late-comers.😉

ahhh. I had just read the niece thing per your link and replied “I knew the case was nonsense. but I had no idea it was that degree of comically baseless nonsense. yikes.”—but got an error message when I tried to press send.😆 I didn’t realize she was old enough to buy property 42 years ago!

Life is too short to spend time on an app you don’t like. Reject the lie they try to force on us that we are obligated to engage in all the places all the time.

Friendly reminder that ActBlue abruptly de-platformed progressive pro-Palestine groups long before November 2024 presidential election.

Admin crackdown is hypocritical retaliation, yes.

But ActBlue is still a tool of Dem establishment that needs to stop pretending they are champions of democracy.

Jake Grumbach @jakemgrumbach.bsky.social · 2d

Admin cracking down on Soros, Indivisible, ActBlue, & Jewish peace groups is incredible projection in light of federal contractor El*n M*sk spending more on politics in 2024 than anybody in human history and all the big money corruption of 2025

I've already lost all patience with the "conversations" about ICE because it's the exact same "conversation" people have had in this country about policing since its inception. Nothing changes in that conversation. Just new people rip van winkleing every few weeks.
