Okay sorry I just want to say that it's a pretty clear sign both of how devastated the media landscape is and how hard it has especially hit women that we are not INUNDATED with cool writing at every single outlet about Silksong and WOMEN

WE WEREN'T THE ONES WHO STOPPED FIGHTING
The sooner we get past internal recriminations and back to fighting united, the better off we all are — the likelier our victory next November.

anyway if dems think I'm gonna forget this shit in 5 months, they're wrong. if they think I'm gonna forget it in 5 years, they're wrong. they have fully convinced me that purging the party of these inept losers in the senate is more important than retaking the senate in the next election cycle

Scratch a transphobe and a general purpose bigot bleeds.
Nothing illustrates the arseholery of the IOC and the British Press more than the use of the image of a not-Trans woman to illustrate a story about trans women being banned (because there are no current trans women competing at this level)

Guys just thought of this: what if we wrest power away from the capitalist ruling class and create a society not based on the exploitation of a laboring class

And finally, another for our dog peeps. That heeler girl that someone shot in the head? She's out of surgery and at the rescue. They raised most of it, but Emi had to cover the last ~$200. You can help with that here: pawstothewall.org#donate.

Second, our local group's wishlist. This week, it's for a family with a new baby who can only eat one [very expensive] kind of formula and goes through 3 containers a week. 7 more cases should get Little Man to year's end: www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/....

All right, tonight's local urgent needs.

I may have to restart the grocery-card project sooner than anticipated: 1) if the fash claw it back; and 2) b/c so many folks got their funds slashed so horribly 6 months ago.

But that is not tonight.

It’s wild to suggest this is a circular firing squad or something when it’s millions of citizen Democrats who hate it versus 47 elected Democrats who conspired to surrender for nothing.

We’re not fighting “each other,” we’re fighting you. There’s only a few dozen of you, but you hold all the power.
But there are real dangers out there that must be fought; and energy spent fighting each other is energy lost to that bigger fight.

Patreon.com/mattbc is the place I invest the most time because I love the community of really thoughtful, informed, caring people. A free account works just fine there, 99% of posts are never paywalled.

I'm doing more vertical video, despite hating the way my face looks and TT about to become MAGA?
x dot com is owned by musk, substack is pro nazi, meta is a cesspool, and tiktok is about to become a maga platform.

i'm open to ideas for where we should be on social, but my patreon is my main platform

Just a reminder that patreon.com/mattbc is the primary place I live on the internet, and that the leadership of this platform have proven themselves to be morally bankrupt.
