I mean. But what I feel we're getting away from is that the paper just went with it. Maybe I'm crazy, but I feel like they should verify what they print? And these are Politico reporters. Not exactly in the tank for Biden.

They’re already doing the birtherism again. Lol

If they do put Kamala Harris on the top of the ticket, I am prepared for a level of misogynoir unwitnessed since Rosa Parks sat down on that bus.

Fascists want you to roll over and not exercise your rights. And one of those rights is to vote. Use it, protect it, fight for it.

So voting is better than *not* voting when it comes to getting what you want? Huh.

Probably should be more concerned that he linked to a WaPo article where they just outright lied.

We haven't learned to stop posting Yashar? Lmao. Also interesting: He linked to a WaPo story and Lieu flatly denied it. The WaPo story says Lieu asked him to step aside. The @washingtonpost.com is straight up printing lies. You should be proud, you dogshit rag.

I'm right there with you. I gotta defend Joe?

I remember the Bryan Adams song and the parody, but I couldn't tell you one beat from the movie outside of the Rickman spoon thing

And of course a huge piece of Costner's bankability that allowed him to make those was from ROBIN HOOD PRINCE OF THIEVES which sucks and has to be the least remembered movie in my lifetime to be the #2 movie in the domestic box office for a year

Friendly reminder that the Dodgers spent like a billion dollars to be average and their 1-2-3 is Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman and Shohei

FINAL: Brewers 9, #Dodgers 2

Hearing that Jane passed away this morning. An immense loss. Her teachings changed much of my life. If you've never read her work, you should make it a priority to do so today.

we all gotta cherish the time we have left with Jane McAlevey, but among the things that are great about her is how much time and effort she's spent making sure we will have more organizers like her

This is hilarious. In his defense, though, it makes no sense to most people that Trump is still a free man if he actually committed those crimes. We heard it on the Georgia phone recording! But we aren't willing to make him pay for it. So it must not be a crime.

This was always true. This has always been true for every marginalized community in every single only these “advanced democracies.” Welcome to the world your privilege has shielded you from. This is life outside the cave.

How do we adjust to a world where major democracies have long-term viable fascist parties? It feels like we'll just be having existential election after existential election, and we have to win every time whereas they only have to win once.

Right? Basically you just need to ask yourself "are people ever gonna stop being racist" and the answer is fucking no so we must fight every day.

Polls predicted a loss and the people said different. Important reminder.

BREAKING NEWS: Voters turned out in numbers not seen in decades to stop the far-right National Rally from taking power in the French National Assembly. Polls predicted a first-place finish for National Rally, which instead came in third in initial results as polling stations closed.

I think we already gave that up by not jailing Trump for J6. Even Sunak was taking shots at us about a peaceful transfer of power.

OPRAH? FUCKING OPRAH? The woman who gave us JD VANCE. The guy who is very likely to be Trump's VP. Yeah let's get fucking Oprah involved.

Hey you guys wanna see the dumbest plan to replace Biden possible? www.semafor.com/article/07/0...

We get to see two of our most revered pubs turn into absolute fucking dogshit to try and prop up a rapist insurrectionist. Imagine ruining your reputation and your entire body of work to hope and pray a con man takes over the country. I hope you go broke.

Interviews with more than three dozen aides, advisers, lawmakers, governors and other Biden allies paint a picture of the Biden team’s failure over the past nine days to contain a crisis that is tarnishing his legacy and threatening his presidency.

Biden thought he had it under control. Then it got worse.www.washingtonpost.com The inside story of the Biden team’s failure over nine days to contain the crisis from his debate with Trump.

French crushed the far right and the Brits jettisoned the conservatives. We can fucking do this

A widely predicted victory for the far right in France has instead turned into a victory for the left *because people turned out in record numbers to vote.* Defeat is not inevitable and more progressive elected officials means more progressive policies.

Here's some fashy tears for your Sunday.

Things seem bleak but it’s probably a bad sign for Republicans that people have started mentioning their actual goals and political blueprint and their response is “how fucking dare you??”

Do you think Donald Trump has someone taste his food to make sure no one poisoned him and why is it definitely Eric?

about once a week, i have to explain to someone on the phone that the police have no obligation to do anything for you and, even if their refusal literally leads to your murder, the courts have been clear that there's no case to pursue

A man has been using Facebook to terrorize his ex and their children. He brags about it: “I want her to worry about who’s waiting on the corner.” But police do nothing and nobody seems to take it seriously. Chilling story from Stacy St Clair and Joe Mahr www.chicagotribune.com/2024/07/07/f...

I know they get rolled all the time but for the Times to get rolled by “actually they just want to reclaim the values of Western civilization as they see it … with larger families and fewer immigrants” is the Times putting the 14 words in the paper

taking Nazis' rosy propagandized self-descriptions and regurgitating them is a "don't print lies in the newspaper" situation.
