Our recent poll found that women 28 and younger skew substantially more left than the national average. Nearly 80 percent of Gen Z women want abortion to be legal and seven in 10 want gender-affirming care to be accessible for trans adults.

Gen Z women are the most liberal group in the country

Tell me again about how the left are the violent ones wishing death on their political opponents. I want to hear all about it (so I know to put you on a blocklist).

Some people have said the media lacks the vocabulary for this political moment but all they need to do is describe what they're seeing with their eyes instead of ignoring it. The absolute minimum and they won't do even that

I know it's a fool's errand to expect anything from the media but "President posts video of himself dumping diarrhea on America" is an important thing to call attention to for a dozen reasons

Man, there’s just no coming back from this. Our entire physical infrastructure has to be assumed compromised now. This will take years of rat hunting, even if they’re all just ghosts, to be sure it’s safe again. Disastrous. All of these people are traitors and deserve the full treatment of one.

A good way to keep your protest high going is to make a donation today to a group that's been doing the work. An abortion fund, a group that feeds the unhoused, a group that assists immigrants...Lots of fascism fighters out there stay needing your money.

Now in a position of power at the network, Ms. Weiss is the one concerned about leaks. She has complained that her comments at private CBS meetings keep turning up in media reports, asking if the company can identify the leakers, according to three people familiar with her remarks.

Hope folks feel less alone today, that people join with others to take further and deeper actions, and that everyone fights like hell to protect those most vulnerable to this regime.
