I’m very very tired of “living in fear” being lobbed at maskwearers by people who frequently say they can’t wear one because no one else around them is.

Living in fear is ignoring science and endangering lives and your own health because you’re terrified of not fitting in.

Then Frog and Toad ate a big breakfast. And after that, they spent a fine, long day together.

I didn't realize Sabine was over here, but when I looked at her feed ... she endorses the "low white birthrates" stuff, in addition to being anti-trans and friends with noted sexual harasser/friend of Epstein Lawrence Krauss. So, I recommend blocking as fast as possible.

Yeah it’s clear she knew what the question was gonna be before it was even asked and she was pre-mad. What an asshole.

I have only very recently learned about these ladies and I need to look into them more because I’d like to replicate the way that my shoulders relaxed for the first time in months when she said “that’s such bullshit” right to this man’s face.

Keira Knightley cares so little about trans people that she couldn't even be bothered to prep an answer about working w/ Rowling & just seemed very angry to be asked. And no, I don't believe that she didn't know. Come on. www.reddit.com/r/Fauxmoi/co...

I think my biggest betrayal is that it feels like they have not nurtured upcoming generations. we've watched them cut the knees out from people who get the base excited instead of mentoring them, it's aggravating as fuck.

I understand that there are right ways and wrong ways to have the age conversation about Dem leadership and I don’t know how I feel about specific solutions like age and term limits. I do know THIS PART HERE is a problem bigger than any one individual 78-year-old and it’s making us all furious

I posit that Kathy Hochul is actually very good at politics and often doesn’t get enough credit.

Arthur Gies (he/him) @aegies.bsky.social · Jun 17

Yeah you’ve got hochul uploading an official nygov social video calling lander’s arrest, and I’m quoting here, “bullshit.” They think the feds have overreached and are vulnerable.

This theory is novel but not the true answer. As Kathy Hochul is a committed Bills fan, her governorship follows the traditional Bills 2020s season format of a very good start, followed by a series of entirely avoidable losses, which then ends at a pivotal moment and leads to a long win streak.

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.
