JD Vance is on the ticket because he wants the government to kill trans people. Vance has been more vocal in his transphobia than just about any other leading VP candidate. That's a deliberate choice by Team Trump.

J.D. Vance's horrendous record of homophobia and transphobiawww.advocate.com Donald Trump's vice-presidential pick hasn't been a senator long — but he's been in the public eye long enough to accrue a strongly anti-LGBTQ+ record.

Fuck it, I'm doing it live - i really wish white queer people would stop uniting across class boundaries to harass and exile BIPOC queer people they find annoying* and aggressive** *not submissive enough ** talk too much about racism within queer spaces

i want to complain about a real life issue but it's so close to current Discussions On Here that i just know i'm going to be accused of something silly :/

That person insisting the NYT is a "Nazi organization" is completely off the wall.

amazing to see the National Catholic Reporter writing what the mainstream/legacy press can't find it in them to print, which is that the GOP's abortion platform is rank bullshit that doesn't leave anything up to the states and is only meant as a cynical play for votes

Party platforms and abortion: Why Trump's backtracking won't matterwww.ncronline.org Although the GOP's platform will not include support for a nationwide limit on abortion, "No one should expect the pro-life movement to abandon the GOP," writes NCR's Michael Sean Winters.

We'll have to ask the Marshal of the Supreme Court to arbitrate that one.

When you really want to use the term "Uncle Tim" without actually using the term "Uncle Tom." 😬😬😬 Holy shit. Guess who this post is about?

And also - it's not like we're losing an insightful voice here, he's just a generic, dull liberal platitude merchant who works for the NYT, a house-trained, tame left-liberal whose primary role is to give the NYT the superficial appearance of pluralism.

Claiming the NYT, despite all its flaws, is "the hate factory" is hyperbole to the extreme and shows that you aren't making a serious analysis of the situation.

I agree. If you don't have anyone on the inside with a sympathetic ear, then you're going to find it much more difficult, if not impossible, to change an institution from the outside.

The general counsel of Stephen Miller's group wrote a chapter for Project 2025’s policy book, and other members are listed as contributors. Now, Miller wants to distance himself from Project 2025 — even after he himself appeared in a recruitment video. www.mediamatters.org/project-2025...
