My “not involved in a DUI with a sex worker in my car” T-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt.
Dingdingding!
he was in his car with a sex worker and the car got hit, but his spokesperson thinks we're stupid.
He got in trouble with a woman he was paying for sex, clearly. Wait for it.
Oh boys and girls, auntie Jo has found another real estate gem... and it only costs 4 million Euros... This may be one of the most gorgeous houses I´ve ever seen. A Dutch 1917 villa: www.funda.nl/detail/koop/...
I was doing something super heroic and cool before I got in a car accident, please do not look into this any further
Pure fucking evil. Everyone involved in this shit needs to be held accountable.
This is why I design and build my own airplanes to fly on.
I know it’s been said but WOW nothing makes me think someone is more pathetic than obsessing over the flag assigned to the manmade borders you’re born in to. Frightened little rabbit boys, they’re so pathetic x
Those willing, by contrast, to trade away the rights and dignity of transgender people or the poor cannot be considered friends of democracy any more than those who were willing to countenance second-class status for blacks and Jews.
In 2024 Sen. Merkley & I visited the Rafah gate on the Egypt-Gaza border. On the other side was Gaza’s thriving city of Rafah—home to 270K. Today we saw it reduced to rubble. The Netanyahu govt has gone beyond targeting Hamas to waging a war of destruction against all Palestinians. It must end.
Stop saying 'preferred gender' and just say 'gender'. I prefer butter over margarine. I do not 'prefer' to be be called a man.
Happy 'greatest correction ever' day to all who celebrate
People who push Christian nationalism hate it when actual Christians speak up because of course “Christian” really means “white”
This whole thing is great but the highlighted bit made me laugh out loud. 😂 Marlon on Snoop:
“Nothing is more important than stopping fascism, because fascism will stop us all.” - Fred Hampton
Actually jaw dropping from James McMurdock MP, even by his standards. We cannot become numb to this. The far right are in Parliament, and they're trying to normalise outright, vicious racism (same goes for the likes of Rupert Lowe too)
We built a calculator that doesn't work, but don't worry, it's also a plagiarism machine that will tell you to kill yourself. It runs on the world's oceans and costs 10 trillion dollars.
Mass shooters since 2018 who were transgender — 4. Mass shooters since 2018 who were not transgender — 4,193. Hope that helps.
JD Vance asking to be invited into a city feels really on the nose after Sinners
the thing that's so fucking infuriating about this is how much more that matters for the bottom 10% $1200 can be life or death at that level of income top 10%? $13K is nice, to be sure, but it's "maybe we'll take another vacation" nice not "oh good now we can afford to eat this month"
Chris Kluwe on Gavin Newsom and his treatment of the trans community: www.thehandbasket.co/p/chris-kluw...
It's hard to understand what Starmer was apologising for on his 'island of strangers' comments when he's now apparently perfectly happy putting out obvious racist bait like this
Full resignation letter from Demetre C. Daskalakis, a CDC leader, does not hold back. "The recent shooting at CDC is not why I am resigning. My grandfather, who I am named after, stood up to fascist forces in Greece and lost his life doing so. I am resigning to make him and his legacy proud."
Every day, another piece of nauseating news hits my gut in a way I thought I’d become immune to, reminding me that the decline towards fascism takes place through the actions, not just of the fascists themselves, but of weak humans who choose short term self-preservation over courage and conviction.
It’s outrageous that Sec. Kennedy is trying to fire the CDC Director — after only a few weeks on the job — for her commitment to public health & vaccines. The Sen. HELP Committee must hold a hearing with Kennedy & the CDC Director as soon as possible. Vaccines save lives. Period.
It would be great to push RFK out now. Also: If we had pushed RFK out after the CDC shooting, we wouldn't have to worry about four open leadership positions at CDC with whoever steps in next. Every crisis where we wait to make this the objective means the damage will be worse when we regain power
Democrats who won't concede this is genocide are effectively Republicans. The numbers are clear.
Here's how the real two-tier Britain works: 1. Whatever Nigel Farage says, however stupid, is looped and discussed by the media, while left-wing voices are treated as noises off. 2. Tiny far-right protests get massive airtime, while 10s of 000s gathering for Palestine or green causes are ignored.🧵
Transgender studies professor Dr. Susan Stryker tears Gavin Newsom a new one while accepting the Transgender Legacy Award from the California state legislature 🔥🔥🔥 @susanstryker.bsky.social
Making them wear high-visibility vests over camo is such a good joke you couldn’t write it
With Dems like these, who needs Susan Collins?

The prolonged public torturing of a single man because the state cannot admit to its errors is not something that occurs in a free country
the actual communication problem democrats have is this: their most prominent national figures filter everything through focus grouped lines and are incapable of plain speech
Rayner should put this on her election posters under the heading "Vote for a normal person"
Angela Rayner owns a constituency home in Ashton-under-Lyne and a flat in Brighton. Perfectly normal for politicians to do that. Farage owns four properties The Royals own this...
Honestly surprised we're not seeing more incidents like this -- both the masked men impersonating cops and the intended victim shooting masked men.
the thing about trans rights is that we fight the civil rights issues of our time. nazi chuds have made this the issue of our time. it's not more *important* than other civil rights issues, but it is the battleground of the moment, and we have to meet the moment to support everyone's rights.
reposted this today because the inverse is also true: if you abandon trans people right now, you are abandoning civil rights period. if you can't stand up for trans people when it matters, no one should, or will, ever trust you when the bullseye moves to the next target.
Crap like this gets excused away as savvy necessary-evil political strategy but most Americans, including most independents, oppose banning trans healthcare for minors. Why vote for someone so weak that podcasters can walk them into positions that are both unprincipled and unpopular?
Do you know how insane and infuriating it is to live in a country where one party claims, with media and public support, the mantle of being the ‘tough on crime’ party while its leader openly calls for convicted criminals to be released from prison ‘or else’?
every time you crank one out without showing ID a child dies 😞
‘You don’t have a right to inherit money from mummy and daddy that you did nothing to earn.' @lewisgoodall.com suggests hiking inheritance tax to 100% in order to reduce income tax and 'incentivise work.'
Have you heard about the 2 TX Billionaires controlling the state government?
Given the overt campaign against Lisa Cook, is it time to revisit how and why Adriana Kugler suddenly stepped down with little notice? www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/p...
They love to focus on the ethnicity of the perpetrators and the failures of the authorities – all of which is an issue. But they don’t want to focus on the fact that it is men.
The phrase “ parents have a legitimate concern about integration of races in schools and as a party, we haven’t done a very good job of listening to those concerns.” would shock and offend I would hope. A similar statement about trans kids should also shock and offend.
Maybe it’s because I’m a state legislator, but I’m worried about the under reaction here. She didn’t spend the night on the House floor. She’s being DETAINED AGAINST HER WILL BY REPUBLICANS UNTIL SHE FOLLOWS THEIR ORDERS. This is 🦇 💩
What pisses me off more than anything is that anybody signed that paperwork why didn’t everybody stand with her?? Fuck the rest of them!
When there was positive economic data under Biden, the New York Times told us to worry, with headlines like: “Why a Strong U.S. Economy Is Making Stock Investors Jittery” and “Inflation Has Been Easing Fast, but Wild Cards Lie Ahead” But when there is worrisome data under Trump, NYT reassures us:
This is what it’s come to.
they deserve not a moment of peace in public life tbh
Fucking resign you useless twat
I’m kind of speechless with this one. I can’t imagine the kind of person who continues to make the argument that it doesn’t count as real starvation if the kids were already sick.
If pundits would like to talk about violence, a terrorist recently shot up the CDC and another assassinated Democratic officials in Minnesota but they sort of let both stories disappear Not as threatening as motorbikes in DC I know but maybe we could circle back?
I’m gonna say armed troops from red states descending on a blue city is just a few inches — or maybe one exchange of gunfire — short of a civil war’s opening stages.
Gavin Newsom and Buttigege both seemingly want to be the American Keir Starmer, and Americans sympathetic to that pitch should glance over at how things are going across the pond
Dolly Parton has sent my daughter a new book every month for years as she does for thousands of children. She help fund the development of the Covid vaccine. She’s not a billionaire. I think as non wealthy people it’s hard to even imagine how much billionaires *could* be doing with their money.
this is, straightforwardly, a demand for trans women to be second class citizens, legally and socially. though dressed up in lovely language, it is the basest bigotry.
Every federal law enforcement agency involved needs its budget zeroed and all employee benefits revoked. They obviously don't have real work to do. If they did, they'd be complaining, individually or through their unions, about being tasked to harass minorities on the street. But they aren't.
This former model, with no background in history, has been put in charge of curating what is "appropriate" at the National Museum of African American History.
This economist ran the numbers and concluded that dating men ... doesn't really pencil out.
Judith Butler teaches us that feminism is the generational task of expanding the definition of what a woman can be. Women being maligned as lesser inherently limits what a woman can be, as does placing material barriers on women. Expanding the definition of what a woman can be is feminist work.
Transphobes are a public menace.
has anyone started a gofundme to get that guy a new hoagie
#ReleaseTheCuomoList
i will never not be amused by how the conservative world is governed by the kind of “affirmative action” they say happens in mainstream institutions. totally unqualified dipshits are handed the keys to institutions because they say the right thing and have the right look.
Donald Trump is usurping the power of black mayors and black cities and this is how the idiots at the NY Times are framing it. I honest to goodness hate these people.
Someone forgot to take down this webpage: www.justice.gov/usao-dc/pr/v...
So ridiculous. (And so familiar)
When you see Cuomo attacking Mamdani over his rent stabilized one bedroom in Queens, do recall this please:
This day in history, an abuser resigned in disgrace. He will never hold such power again. We won’t let him.
Reposted w/correct numbers! Whatever you’ve been doing, STOP & LISTEN (read). This is happening on our soil in our name paid for with our tax dollars. Every one of us should call our House members & Senators. 202-224-3121 And flood the call lines to Gov. DeSantis’ office: 850-717-9337
I got a flu booster today and it made me reflect on the sense of national accomplishment I felt when I drove to a public facility, waited in my car until my number was called on an app, and got my first covid jab. It's fucked the right gets to erase what a moment of technological liberation that was
Surveillance cameras are no longer just recording our comings and goings — they're using AI to decide whether we should be reported to law enforcement. An algorithm can't be trusted to determine who is a threat.
LEFT: Where our government incarcerates a person who has a tattoo in honor of a family member. RIGHT: Where our government incarcerates a person who has facilitated and/or engaged in the sexual assault of over a thousand children.
True: @zohranmamdani lives in 1 unit of rent-stabilized housing. Also true: Andrew Cuomo oversaw the loss of 96,064 units of rent-stabilized housing. And killed NYC’s program helping people move out of shelter. Leaders must show moral clarity. Andrew, time to move out. 🧵 x.com/andrewcuomo/...
Just spitballing here, but cryptobros throwing sex toys at WNBA players on the court and other cryptobros and male sports commentators calling it funny and telling the women and their coaches to 'lighten up' both explains the 'male loneliness epidemic' and why I don't care about it.
Paula Poundstone @paulapoundstone Kristi Noem says it’s lazy of SOUTH PARK to make fun of women, specifically her for how they look. Maybe. But she seems to think it’s fine to arrest and assault people for how they look.
This is just deeply depressing: women who spoke up during #MeToo often found their lives upended, as powerful men used defamation suits to target them, e.g. Roy Moore is still suing many of his accusers. What Happened to the Women of #MeToo? www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...
Yeah so throwing dildos at women athletes on the court is an actual example of gender-based violence against women in sports—one that transphobes and acquiescent Dems will surely make 1000% less noise about
"GPT-5 is the first time that it really feels like talking to an expert in any topic, like a PhD-level expert."
Imagine losing a popularity contest to the pedophiles building concentration camps
The employee asked the girl and her mother if they needed help shopping. That’s it. That’s all. The misinformation, the insinuations (because the facts are inconveniently benign) are EXACTLY what was done to lesbians in the 80s. This is the product of hate and fear, not reality.
Dems should fight on every front. If Texas steals 5 seats, Dem states should redistrict 30 GOP members out of their districts. We should insist DOJ release the entire Epstein File. Not only shouldn't we bring knives to a gun fight, if they bring pistols, we should bring machine guns.
As end-of-empire scenarios go it is so much more dignified to get your capital city sacked by the Visigoths than to have a bunch of illiterate rich people in their 70s doing it through a series of incomprehensible tantrums because their brains were defeated by their phones.
No one should ever have to wonder if their senator or representative is making choices in Congress just to benefit their own wallet. There's a clear solution: ban Congressional stock trading.
Pregnant veterans would no longer be allowed to receive abortions at Department of Veterans Affairs hospitals in cases of rape, incest or when the pregnancy threatens their health under a proposed rule from the Trump administration.
"In the US, there’s a rape every 68 seconds, a woman is beaten by an intimate partner every nine seconds.... Globally a woman or girl is murdered by her partner or family member every 10 minutes."
"One of the reasons the epidemic of violence against women is so unacknowledged is because cases like these are talked about individually, and often treated as though they are shocking aberrations rather than part of a pervasive pattern that operates at all levels of society."
This is Virginia Guiffre's statement to Ghislane Maxwell, read by Guiffre's attorney in court the day Maxwell was sentenced. I had to divide it into 2 parts. Please read each & share. These are the words of a child rape victim, a victim of the monster Trump now protecting & arranging her freedom.
Fuck the stock market reports, this is what real life is like
this is a good thread but I might actually take it further -- I don't think manosphere shit is actually about getting laid, I think it's literally about male loneliness, by which I mean, men addressing their loneliness via homosocial bonding through misogyny
who told us about her? her VICTIMS, you disingenuous hack. it takes a lot to gast my flabbers these days but even i can’t believe they’re seriously gonna try this revisionist history shit about a woman who aided and abetted in the rape of children.
