They are really like this. Once I said that I think kids should learn the proper terms for their anatomy and some Glem Greenwald/Libs of Tik Tok followers emailed me employer to try to get me fired
According to Project 2025, which is the heart of Trump's campaign and platform, if you teach or talk about the existence of LGBTQ people then you are a sex offender and should be imprisoned.
In a normal world of federal contracts you’d figure the CEOs of multiple companies with trillions in security related contracts before the fed would not be able to publicly bribe a candidate on main pre-emptively
They would at least have to pretend at hiding
Thanks scotus
Just a reminder: it’s good to oppose assassinations. But you are under absolutely no obligation to treat Trumpists and Trump-apologists as people who are honest, or acting in good faith, when they purport to condemn political violence or violent rhetoric. They’re not sincere.
It's going to be very difficult to have a conversation about political violence targeting Donald Trump without acknowledging that no one has done more to normalize political violence in America in 2024 than Donald Trump.
making positive change in this excruciating world pretty much always involves lots of shitty compromises, the kind that keep people up at night forever.
this is perhaps the #1 thing I’ve learned from history.
it’s our job to get the fuck over this reality and keep fighting for better things.
This is an awesome discovery! The planet is tidally locked to its star, so the same side always faces the sun. That's why it'd have that 'eyeball' look--the sun's concentrated heat would melt the ice there that otherwise blankets the world.
Look man having another Biden discourse the exact same as the previous Biden discourse sounds super interesting and I’m sure we’ll all come up with some great opinions
let’s all remember who the truest enemy is: the passage of time.
it used to be 1996. even 1998! but nooooooooo we just decided to the let the ball keep rolling and now it’s 2024 and no one is happy at all.
time: not even once.
I was going to read this to dunk on it but literally the opening line is about George RR Martin and Game of Thrones and Game of Thrones is hyperlinked to take you to another MSNBC article called “What Game of Thrones has to teach us about politics”
A lot of it has faded, to be sure. But this, by Jefferson--standing tall, inscribed in his memorial--speaks down through the ages, and inviting a nation that needs to hear it, to choose a better future for itself, unshackled by any laws or institutions that fail to move us forward to a better future
No one involved in climate science or advocacy "needs to acknowledge" that mass extinctions result in new life millions of years later. They know that! They're trying to reduce human suffering, they're not confused about how geologic time works.

Why did Romney have to comment on it? Perhaps it was journalists asking the candidate questions about it? Perhaps journalists could be asking Trump similar questions?
The Todd Akin “legitimate rape” gaffe happened during the 2012 presidential election cycle. Broke through, Romney had to comment on it.
Very different media cycles this year, and Biden’s age overwhelms many of them.
"Executive Time" fell out of the coverage of Donald Trump in the most incredible way. Nobody writing about his quest to become president again ever mentions the fact that he hated the job when he had it and he couldn't and wouldn't really do it!
The discourse around biden needing more sleep is fully insane. Does no one remember "Executive Time," the thing Trump spent the majority(!) of his schedule on where he would just watch TV and tweet? Dude was categorically unable to fulfill any of the demands of the office and the press barely cared
Still crazy to me that the left gets branded as “out of touch” by the pundit class whenever college students protest a transphobic phrenologist speaking on campus but they gloss over how many establishment conservatives want to ban the pill
I really don’t think most people realize just how hard the boot will come down if Trump and the Republicans win the election. Most people have never experienced the totalitarian surveillance state with the power to reach into their homes and minds at will they are telling us is their plan.
