This really is quite remarkable. Even Palin seems to have gotten the cold shoulder!

Genuinely possible that Vance is too gross and clammy and weird even for this moment.

also and I feel like I buried the lede here: it calls for the people who CREATE queer media to be imprisoned. That'd be people like me. Or any other queer creator you love. Any queen who's been on drag race. Chappel Roan. Janelle Monae. Anyone who's made a piece of queer media. Imprisoned.
Psst: Project 2025 is terrifying for a lot of reasons but also because on page 5 it calls for teachers and librarians who grant access to books that are maligned as pornography (which just means anything LGBTQ) to be registered as sex offenders. Pass it on.

“Biden previewed the shift in a Zoom call Saturday with the Congressional Progressive Caucus.” hahahahahahaha if the centrists shitting themselves over the debate performance results in Grampa Joe and the CPC getting super tight this is gonna rule
Breaking news: President Biden is finalizing plans to endorse major changes to the Supreme Court in the coming weeks, including proposals for legislation to establish term limits for the justices and an enforceable ethics code, according to two people briefed on the plans.

I thought it sounded more like stylistic choices (growling, throaty) she couldn't reach. But maybe it was both/all. Voice sounded strangled in either case

Here's a brief explainer for your friends who aren't "into" politics. It's no mystery that they are keeping culture wars front and center because much of what they really want to do would scare even MAGA. www.vox.com/politics/360...
Project 2025: The myths and the factswww.vox.com The sweeping conservative plan for Trump's second term is very real. Here’s what it actually says.

More clips I see of Biden being interviewed the more convinced I am that he needs to solve the fucked up way he talks more than he needs to solve anything he's saying. He's hoarse and mumbly but that should be very solvable!

Everything thing Republicans have done since Dobbs is 100% predictable. What’s shocking is the lack of outrage. Have you even heard about this outrageous attempt to rig direct democracy over abortion rights in Arkansas? Biden should ask the DoJ to step up.

See the Rolling Stone article about tech billionaires seeing the shooting as a way to come out of the closet as trump supporters despite it being inter-right wing violence
Musing on Vance as the VP choice for Trump, and on his drastically shifted rhetoric over the past eight years… which reaffirms an observation that perhaps the most impactful dynamic of the last decade isn’t the top-down radicalization of the electorate, but the bottom-up radicalization of “elites”.

for a dated movie that condemns the Klan without any black cast, this movie is still awfully relevant just at the mo. #TCMParty
