The attacks you’re seeing on the Harris and Walz families from the online right are reflective of a different ideological orientation towards family as mere objects that are meant to reflect the greatness of the husband and father, not people with their own lives and emotions.

Andrew Tate by his own admission moved to Eastern Europe because they’re not as aggressive about prosecuting sex crimes and he still immediately did too many sex crimes for them to ignore

The same people who told us barron is "off limits" are out here attacking a 17-year-old for his emotional celebration of the biggest moment in his loving father's political life. -Covie

Billionaires are buying land that’s supposed to be protected, to build luxury bullshit hotels & housing that nobody in the community wants. They want to keep it pristine & preserve its natural beauty. I bet it’ll come out billionaires bribing the council members to get their plans ok’d.

Begging the Dems to have a 1968-level realignment where they go ahead and kick AIPAC and its offshoot orgs out of their camp Any lobbying group that defends genocide should not be welcome in a healthy liberal-progressive coalition Just rip the band-aid off and win the future

Ann Coulter is a performance artist, similar to Marina Abramovich or Andy Kaufman, except her persona is toxic. If not for the fact that people pay attention to her, she would have gone away to run some new grift. She will say or do anything for money & attention.

Funny when Trump has so many divorces and affairs…?

This. One side wants to provide the means to uplift and support all people. The other side wants to deny at least one of my kids right to merely exist as the person they are.
The election is very simple for me in many ways. One of them is that I know, with confidence, one party and its leader would cruelly mock my son. www.newsweek.com/maga-mocks-t...

It would be funny if it wasn’t so sad. Totally can imagine this “fact-check” after Amy Gardner disputed Biden—asserting Trump “just hasn’t said” he wouldn’t accept election results. *She was part of Pulitzer winning team for J6 reporting…??

This is the GOP VP candidate echoing the exact white nationalist conspiracy theory as the mass murderer who did go to a Walmart in El Paso to murder 23 people this month five years ago, believing this racist lie that there is a "literal invasion" at the southern border.

The one continuity between JD Vance and Romney/Ryan is that dude seems like he's always giving you a speech about how he's doing you a favor by laying you off. Only JD seems like he's trying to talk you into walking into a mulcher so Peter Thiel can use your blood and flesh for biodiesel.

Remember this vividly—especially since we’ve seen it play out so many times since. Lots of hard work/time to include Rs only to result in not one vote from them.
The ACA would have had an option for public health insurance had it not been for one Joe Lieberman. And I think that was *after* Max Baucus ran away with the bill for months to pretend he was going to get Republican support while watering it down further and then of course getting zero R votes.

Joe Lieberman alone, y'all. You don't even know.
Getting the ACA signed into law at all involved so much effort that it ate up the better part of two years. Trying to imagine even more progressive legislation being hammered out at the same time is wild with the Democrats who were in office then

Honestly? Sherman was right: “We cannot change the hearts and minds of those people of the South, but we can make war so terrible . . . [and] make them so sick of war that generations would pass away before they would again appeal to it.”
There was not a mass persuasion campaign that defeated the Nazis. Tanks and bombers! The Ku Klux Klan was not defeated in the marketplace of ideas, Grant sent the fucking army in and tried hundreds of Klansmen in federal court.
