This means romance authors. This means poets. This means screenwriters and playwrights and actors of anything remotely risqué. And eventually, anything secular. They have no point of satisfaction until they’ve erased all of non-Christian expression.

I'mma say this for all the people in the back. Don't vote for a person. Vote for your rights, for the rights of others. On page 5 of Project 2025's 180-day plan they openly call for outlawing porn, recommending imprisoning anyone who creates it. Are you an NSFW artist, or like the art? THIS IS YOU.

Biden is having a great June, with world leader summits and another huge celebrity campaign fundraiser. So of course, the GOP and its right-wing media allies have come at him, this time with edited videos and fake stories. My write-up on their dirty tactics in the replies.

This country is full of scared, stupid people, and it fucking sucks. Republicans are terrified of being held accountable for their racism and denial of science. Democrats are terrified to hold them to account and fight for basic human rights because it might result in a nasty media segment. SUCKS

On Thursday night, Jen Psaki gave the clearest explanation and defense of the Democrats’ light touch approach, which has people so alarmed. I understand why her MSNBC co-panelists were so flabbergasted. www.offmessage.net/p/democrats-...

If I were a Democratic pollster, I would be doing daily polling on: "Should Donald Trump drop out of the race in light of his conviction on 34 felonies?" I see this as a way to shift the Overton Window. The first poll I saw on that question has 49% of Independents saying Trump should drop out now.

Should you refuse to show compassion because you believe it would make you appear weak, then you have misunderstood what strength is. It is honorable to have concern for others, to show empathy and to offer aid to someone in distress. To rebuke this is cowardice, not strength.

Hot take: Bluesky should have remained invite only. Gatekeeping makes good communities.

Is there a way to make sure you don't @ someone if you're directing a reply directly at someone else, or am I going to catch collateral heat when a dingbat slides into the replies and takes a major 💩 in them?

Not to sound like a broken record, but the newest NYT/Siena poll contains some notable biases in favor of Republicans and conservatives, and it produces some absurd results. But you wouldn’t know it from the headlines! My analysis and how to sleep easier, in the replies.

You probably heard that Trump gave an interview to Time magazine. It was wide ranging and rambling, but there were some key statements and positions that require our urgent attention. I dive into three in my piece today. open.substack.com/pub/statusku...
