On August 11, 2024, the FDA will decide whether or not to approve MDMA-assisted therapy for PTSD. Now is the time to speak as one, collective voice — as veterans, practitioners, and citizens — in support of this life-changing, breakthrough treatment. www.approvemdmatherapy.com

This weekend has been incredible. I have cried so many times, just from sheer happiness of: who I've been able to meet, the amazing friends that I have, but most importantly, how happy I am with my life. I am blessed, truly lucky. Now, I am going to cry again. Thank you all. 💚

This. This is why my opposition to this shambling waste of a human life knows little to any bounds. Not only will I never vote for this person, or anything they stand for, I will make a point to go out of my way to vote in opposition, and write in someone if no opposition exists.

heads i win, tails you lose: trump and RFK jr’s supporters both already know they believe insane conspiracies, so there’s no need to discuss what believing insane conspiracies says about their mental fitness to lead, but biden voters can be persuaded that biden may be unfit, therefore, biden old
2 of the top 3 candidates for the US presidency have shown a repeated willingness to believe any conspiracy dangled in front of them like a set of keys, including wildly anti-american ones, which are straightforward cognitive deficiencies for what we should demand in a president. neither are biden.

there are only three kinds of american voter who you’re allowed to write about/to: 1. democratic voters who hate the nominee 2. independent/swing voters who represent the ideal american voter and who have no strong pre-existing ideological preferences 3. republicans who cannot be persuaded

If this isn't making you ask "so, what's the elite media trying to do other than just get clicks" I don't know what to tell you that will open your eyes. At least my own days of being 100% certain that "assume stupidity or ignorance instead of malice" is a good idea are behind me. Now I flip a coin.
This is broadly what's been happening to gender affirmation treatments and other trans issues and is led by the same elite media

Any outlet that doesn’t cover this story is making a choice to ignore it, and we should be asking why.
I saw this was trending and had to google it "The post alleges that Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee for this year's presidential election, "forced" young girls to "perform lesbian sex acts."
Donald Trump, Katie Johnson allegations: Everything we knowwww.newsweek.com Allegations from a lawsuit that was dismissed in 2016 are circulating on social media.

anyway, i don’t know what biden should do about the campaign. no one else does, either. but there’s not been enough discussion about whether powering through, bad press be damned, could also work, even though that has worked for him many, many times in his long political career.
Avatar
his career has been defined by saying something that would normally doom another politician and then just slamming the gas and leaving it in the rearview, rather than getting personally bogged down in it, which is a trait he funnily enough shares with the younger progressive dems.

Trump is trying to get ahead of the reality that he and the heritage foundation are working to destroy America and institute a fascist dictatorship. He is lying and expecting the media to gaslight America for him.

abigail disney’s staggering hypocrisy here is one of the many ways in which you get reminded that even when astronomically wealthy people pay lip service to equality and progressive politics, they understand that the rules they themselves agree with in theory will not be applicable to them

the bitterly funny part about the heiress calling her friends at elite publications to demand she be given a privileged say in who a political party selects as a nominee is that it’s the exact kind of thing that heiress would rightly recognize as morally abominable if she saw one of her peers do it

i don’t think that’s necessarily true of disney herself, but i think abigail disney believes, as all obscenely wealthy people do, that her wealth and privilege provide her with special insights and power that entitle her to speak for the people in a first amongst equals capacity

this is a poster’s instinct, not a politician’s, but it would be extremely funny if biden shot back at big dem donors by saying that they are just afraid he’s going to increase their taxes (and i think for a subset of them, this is genuinely true)
