Dems. Wanna get your polling out of the gutter? Stop talking about redrawing house maps in blue states and do it. Go big. Don't match them seat for seat. Blow them out of the water. Then endorse Mamdani. You're welcome.

The whole point of all this is to not prop up ANYone running who speaks against ANY marginalized group. We need to hold our standards higher instead of trotting out status quo candidates who’ll keep losing elections cuz they’re pandering to some center that doesn’t exist.
Buttigieg said parents have legitimate concerns.
To be clear: If you cannot be relied on to unequivocally defend transgender kids, you can’t be relied on to defend anyone or anything.

Why is Trump forcefully covering up the Epstein files now after stringing his base along for months?
It’s likely because of Elon Musk’s now-deleted tweet.

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

Any politician who has never flown on the world’s most famous pedophile’s jet should call for a bipartisan committee to investigate — and then release — the Epstein files.
What a way to reach across the aisle.

Metadata Shows the FBI’s ‘Raw’ Jeffrey Epstein Prison Video Was Likely Modified
There is no evidence the footage was deceptively manipulated, but ambiguities around how the video was processed may further fuel conspiracy theories about Epstein's death.

"Metadata embedded in the Epstein video and analyzed by WIRED and independent video forensics experts shows that rather than being a direct export from the prison’s surveillance system, the footage was modified, likely using the professional editing tool Adobe Premiere Pro."

Joe Rogan not only exemplifies the Dunning-Kruger effect, he’s on D-K’s Mt Rushmore. Sorry, dude, but you don’t get a pass for realizing that you might have made a bad choice, like oopsies you chose this brand over that brand. Elections have actual consequences. Bro culture is gonna kill us all.

To all the artists creating in these times: thank you. It’s not easy to make beauty, truth, or meaning when the world feels chaotic. Whether it helps you breathe or comforts others, your work matters.
Art doesn’t need to fix the world to be meaningful, sometimes it just needs to exist.

Hard to take seriously the red-white-and-blue rhetoric of freedom on a 4th of July where the US president has cut off aid to a democracy fighting for its independence against ferocious attack by a foreign tyrant.

Welcome to the USA of 2025, where condemning genocide is deemed antisemitism and can get you deported, but building concentration camps and calling bankers ‘Shylocks’ doesn’t get condemned by the news media at all.

This is all well & good, and fascism never lasts for very long (mostly), but we’re talking about a good decade or 3 before this all gets undone. GenX is done. And, yes, we will prolly overcorrect to a fault, but I’ll prolly be long gone from lack of healthcare or effing ice.
fairly decent argument that this bill, the Big Beautiful Bill, which will DECIMATE U.S. healthcare, directly leads to Medicare for All being fully embraced by the next Dem president
