When people write "let's goooo," they mean "let's go" and not "let's goo" 😬 🤦🏻♀️

My hot take on Taiwan is that I wish we would fully commit to the defense of Taiwan and also that saying that out loud may be an absolute disaster especially with this President.
Also you should visit sometime, it's nice.

Hardly an attitude unique to America of course, this refusal to comprehend its actions + their casual relationship to the actions of others. Russians love acting surprised at how eastern Europeans rush to NATO, Israelis love acting surprised that Levantine Arabs might court Iranian or Turkish money.

I don't think Raffaello and Raffaella Santonastaso were reading Hillbilly fucking Elegy when they fled the Mezzogiorno. I think they were just poor and optimistic, like millions before them and millions after them.

Sorry but my favorite example of this was making the brain surgeon head of HUD. Just an all timer giveaway
They think of “urban” as synonymous with Black and that explains a good deal of the invalidation of urban spaces as “real America”

Ladies, this Valentine's Day we are learning financial independence from MEN.
If your job has a 401k, contribute to it to *at least* the employer match. Free money, lower taxes! Start now!!

slavery is one of the rare things historically where the more you learn about it the more you realize your initial assessment was correct and it was in fact one of the most evil things ever to occur

sometimes you'll learn that, like, Napoleon did legal reforms which are the basis for many countries legal systems today. with slavery you learn that men would rape people and enslave their own children

i’ll end this little brainstorm by just asking what it is, exactly, that the MAGA right likes about the United States, since it explicitly rejects those things that make this nation distinctive — its pluralism, its revolutionary heritage and egalitarian aspirations, and its republican institutions

Only one of these weddings was queer, absolutely insufficient. In woke 2 there will be NO cishet weddings.
Everyone in the world comes to get married at the NYC Marriage Bureau. Last week, the Mayor stopped by to officiate a few of those ceremonies.
Thank you to all the couples who shared their joy with us. Happy Valentine's Day, New York.

valentine's day isn't just for couples, it's also a day to celebrate love. for instance, i would love it if housing prices came down.

Rubio has a personal interest in saying nice(ish) things to Europe; the Trump administration as a whole has a strong interest in Europe not acting on the rupture the White House has created. None of this means an actual change of direction in US foreign policy.

It's been clear for the whole of the last year (and before) that the Trump administration is focused on developing economic ties with Russia; supporting Russia's full rehabilitation; forcing Ukraine's capitulation; and preventing NATO/EU states acting as spoilers.

I am by no means a class first — let alone class only — leftist, but the older I get the more I think that the way you disrupt a lot of sexual violence and exploitation, including Epstein type shit, is by raising the floor with a massive social safety net and lowering the ceiling with taxes.

On the flip side, the people most vulnerable to exploitation are poor people. So many stories of trafficking are just poor people who are forced into sex work by family members or partners. The 17 yo who was abused by Matt Gaetz was… a poor teenager who turned to sex work to make money.

And realistically, power imbalances and financial insecurity are at the root of a lot of sexual exploitation. The Epstein story is a story of social circle where people were so wealthy and powerful that they could evade most accountability. No one should be rich enough to own an island!!!
