before this era of explicit homophobia, think about how the right categorized progressive men. "low T, soy boy, cuck, beta male" these were all ways of calling men fags without getting hit with a TOS violation. & they've associated being conservative with stereotypical machismo aesthetics.

One of the few "takes" I agreed with from a broadly popular conservative normie Catholic priest media personality was that engaging with UFC type entertainment is morally illicit

Sharon @sharonk.bsky.social · 8d

I really do think between this and the UFC match at the White House, we need to have a serious conversation about ethics and spectacle.

40% of cops *admit* to abusing their partners

And it’s legal for cops to rape you in custody in 7 out of 10 states.

This isn’t a coincidence.

Ostroy interviewed Tapper, and Tapper kept emphasizing how it was fair to say Dems are to blame and that polling says the public blames Rs now, but that could change. Sad

I think some of it was that, some of it was people angry that they weren't able to replace Biden with a pro-crypto, pro-tech Trojan horse in a "blitz primary" which was part of the goal of pushing Biden out to begin with bsky.app/profile/lilb...

It's the same as 2024. Commentators never forgave Democrats for rallying around a woman of color, and robbing them of endless, "Democrats in disarray," narratives.

I think there are still shared norms we can appeal to when we talk to the marginal MAGA voter. But there really are no shared norms left with the core of the movement.

The elimination of USAID is a moral atrocity and all involved made a choice to enable, and then lie about, ending the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

MAE SOT, Thailand (AP) - Mohammed Taher clutched the lifeless body of his 2-year-old son and wept. Ever since his family's food rations stopped arriving at their internment camp in Myanmar in April, the father had watched helplessly as his once-vibrant baby boy weakened, suffering from diarrhea and begging for food.
On May 21, exactly two weeks after Taher's little boy died, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio sat before Congress and declared: "No one has died" because of his government's decision to gut its foreign aid program. Rubio also insisted: "No children are dying on my watch."
That, Taher says, "is a lie."

Sen. Ruben Gallego: "Mike Johnson is holding Congress out of session for two reasons: number one, so that way there are no negotiations; and number two, to cover for all the pedophiles on Epstein's list...They're covering for pedophiles and dropping your healthcare coverage."

The government is shut down because Trump and the Republicans are hellbent on taking health care away from you.

And they won’t even come to the table to talk to us about it.

This is not about politics. It's about people.

Last week, new WaPo opinion editor Adam O'Neal quietly carried out another purge of staffers, cutting editors and major names like Marc Fisher and David Hoffman, among others.

Meanwhile, he welcomed three conservatives to the section.

Adam O’Neal says he’s bringing “intellectual diversity” to The Washington Post’s opinion pages—but the moves he’s making behind the scenes tell a different story.
