Give a man a fish and someone with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about people getting free handouts. Teach a man to fish? Yeah, that person with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about that too.

Just saw the terrible news that US Bishops just banned gender affirming care at Catholic hospitals.

A reminder, from the reproductive justice front - For a lot of people, Catholic hospitals are their only option. Even places where they aren't, they sometimes set standard of care.

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

"This could take down Democrats, too."

I know. And I frankly wouldn't give even an itty bitty damn if it implicated every Democratic man in Congress, every Democratic hopeful for 2028 and every Democrat who has even thought about running for office.

Down with the sex predators, wherever they are.

With all these crooks lining up to smear ibuprofen and acetaminophen, I can only assume that they have all invested in some new miracle painkiller that will be approved any day now.

So when the new miracle painkiller is announced, uh, don't take it.
JD Vance calls ibuprofen "useless medication" and implies it's not "necessary, safe and effective."

To recap: Jeffrey Epstein offered a NY Times reporter photos taken in Epstein's kitchen of Donald Trump and girls in bikinis *and* implored the NYT reporter to put this information in the public discourse in 2015

What did the NY Times editors know about this offer?

I remember SMART WOMEN defending Larry Summers back in the day like we were all just too sensitive.
I hope the people who thought Larry Summers was done wrong in '05 can see him here 12 years later still deriding women's intelligence in lighthearted banter with his friend Jeff, the world's most notorious sex trafficker. That's men's intelligence I guess.
Here's the full Summers email, btw.

Jeffrey Epstein advised Steve Bannon that the lawyers representing Brett Kavanaugh in his confirmation hearing should accuse Christine Blasey Ford of being on medications that cause false memories or memory loss.

the biggest lesson from the emails today is that powerful people are so unafraid of consequences for crimes as bad as “raping children” that they will just talk about it openly in emails

the only path to a better society is one where that is no longer true

Every Epstein email is like "I love that you're a rapist and a pedophile! Signed, a man who personally has more wealth than 20% of the world's population."

All the Epstein emails are powerful elites saying shit like “Hello my friend the pedophile, i need your advice as a pedophile, what do you think about this other pedophile? Pedophilic Regards, your Friend ;)” and instead of swinging from a gibbet most of them are still writing op-eds against leftism

In my experience assuming every politician is a scumbag who has to prove they aren't is a far more efficient way of approaching politics than this

So given the utter fecklessness of Bluesky's moderation team (except that "fecklessness" weirdly always seems to serve the cause of fascism and transphobia) and given that all the other platforms are run by cartoon villains, where the fuck do we go next, I forgot how to do HTML.

Last week I got a fundraising mailer from Turning Point USA sent to my actual name at my actual home address. Typically my junk mail is EXTREMELY targeted -- gardening catalogues, pleas for charitable donations, the usual election season garbage -- so this is a little weird?

“The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald” is a moving memorial to those who died but it continues to be a wildly unsuccessful strip club song.

We deserve a Democratic Party that is willing to fight as hard as we are.

We need new leadership in this moment and to get there, we need a chorus of support for change. Tell your Democratic senators to call on Senator Schumer to step aside as Minority Leader. It’s time for drastic action.

Those eight Democrats (plus their accomplices who voted no because they are up for reelection soon) didn't "fall for" anything. They are complicit. They don't care about you.

I still remember the sinking feeling of betrayal I felt when Hillary Clinton picked him as her running mate, and how many people told me I was being divisive.
Kaine on why he thinks just getting a vote on healthcare is a win: "We're the minority party, but everybody will get to see who is standing for them when it comes to lowering their healthcare costs"
