We need to trust our eyes.

Nazi salutes, racist purges, an ambush on the Ukrainian president by a far-right regime. If what we see aligns with what we know and is also in line with an established track record, our default assumption should be that what is happening is actually what it looks like.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Also worth contacting the governor and asking him to publicly reaffirm his commitment to this extremely vulnerable group.

It's not just in regard to college enrollment that we don't talk about misogyny, it's pretty much everything.

Many of us bloggers talked about Dobbs and the fury of women during the runup to the election. There was much less in the news and practically no notice in the polls.
Why aren't we talking about the real reason male college enrollment is dropping?
We would rather talk about literally everything else.

one major improvement i've seen in the world over the course of my lifetime is the emergence of lightly-salted sweets. i just swung by a bakery to pick up a chocolate chip cookie and it had the slightest flaking of kosher salt on it. that shit went crazy. i think we're doing great in that department

Ppl need to understand that you can have media literacy and just disagree on a piece of art. Part of having media literacy is knowing that a text can be interpreted multiple ways. As long as we can cite our evidence in the text itself or in the genre it takes place in we are using media literacy
