CA Dems are lining up to whitewash an anti-trans fascist as a "decent man" and "well-liked"
Politicians always care about others in their social class (eg, elites and other politicians) far more than the people they claim to represent.

So sorry to hear the passing of my classmate, Doug LaMalfa. He was a decent man and well-liked in the California delegation. My love and prayers to his family, staff, and loved ones.

If you understand that the modern patriarchy really objects to women owning themselves every other policy makes sense.
The rise of deepfakes and AI CSAM prove public and private sectors don’t actually care about abuse, but still punish sex workers, queer people, and women under that guise. Credit cards companies and law enforcement punish consensual sex and sexuality, but ignore and therefore encourage abuse

five years ago the president of the united states incited an insurrection in order to try to retain power and it is a comprehensive failure at every level - media, law enforcement, courts, politicians and most of all the voters - that he has returned to power and threatens the stability of the world

Motherfucker grew up in LA. There is NO rich white person in LA whose life would be anything like what it is without immigrant labor. They would literally not have food to eat.
Eyes wide open, folks. They're revealing the supervillain plot.

The reason I love this Reductress joke is that it gets to the essence of what "The Doomscroll" actually is.
It's not simply a parade of disinterestedly reported news stories with sober headlines about tragedies. It's everyone else's *commentary* about them.

“ChatGPT started coaching Sam on how to take drugs, recover from them and plan further binges. It gave him specific doses of illegal substances, and in one chat, it wrote, ‘Hell yes—let’s go full trippy mode’”

It’s genuinely wild that the United States spent decades building an elaborate rules-based international order which de facto cemented its permanent status as the dominant global hegemon, sustained by ideology rather than might, and now is just blowing it all up for literally no reason

Trump/Hegseth/Rubio killed 40 Venezuelan civilians two days ago. They've been murdering random fishermen for weeks.
Think about that. Really think about that. Think about shaking the hand of someone responsible for that. Think about writing a news article about them and not mentioning that.

Another important question you’ve forgotten is what are you gonna do about it? This isn’t debate club, you don’t get points for objecting to the fact that you weren’t briefed. This is all blatantly illegal, act like it.
