Andrew Mountbatten Windsor losing all of his titles over just the possibility of the Epstein files coming out tells me all I need to know about just how bad the contents are, and why the Republicans are so desperate to never let it out.
The thing that’s so fucked up about the Epstein files is that if they’re bad bad for Trump, it’s gonna come out, and every Republican who knew what they were doing protecting him is gonna get flayed for it. And if they weren’t bad for him at all, they’d be out already.

Schumer just dog walked both GOP and you, and both you and they are mad about it.
Now Democrats get another round of news stories about how Republicans refuse to negotiate and are making everything worse, *and* can now safely retreat to better asks.
An unmitigated win.
But you're still mad.

people made at recon haven't read enough books to understand that intentionally and publicly cutting off the food supply—especially primarily for the sake of some kind of political gain—to the working poor has never happened before and is easily the most baffling move in the history of civilization
Fighting courts to cut off the grain dole is facially an insane thing for a government to do! Just begging to get blamed for an extremely destabilizing move for no benefit!
you would think this website knows about the existence of hyperbole

I think we all understand what it means when "minority has any sort of facial expression" becomes evidence of guilt right?

![Several nurses alleged Rose gave them "evil looks" or "hard stares", which Rose denied, telling the tribunal she did not know who the nurses were.
"I'm not in the business of levelling evil looks at anyone or hard staring," Rose said, adding people could think whatever they wanted about her but that did not influence her view of colleagues "as professionals".
One of the lead nurses, Bethany Hutchison, said Rose had smirked at her as they passed in a corridor, which she took to be an attempt at intimidation.
Mr Fetto asked Rose if she had "displayed amusement" towards nurse Bethany Hutchison.
Rose said she was talking to another colleague at the time about something they found funny, "but it wasn't [Ms Hutchison's] presence which I found amusing".](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cau5eglmhacxw6jpnxtbvpgz/bafkreig7pvrv2m7cfxkxllicenzp5jsdsi3lamqhigkhf7a4eepsfsirj4@jpeg)

imo a lot of it comes down to leadership and donors basically treating environmental stuff as "freeze stuff as they are" instead of "how do we build a post-carbon world" from what i've heard from friends in enviro orgs
This aligns with my experience talking to a lot of staff at environmental organizations who understand the necessity for land use and permitting reform but can't bring along senior leadership or donors. bsky.app/profile/robi...
Interesting to see @meganwachspress.bsky.social observe that the Sierra Club’s staff were clear-eyed about the need for clean energy development while the *members/small-dollar donor base* were more resistant to it.

I keep seeing these videos by trans guys about how trans women are dominating trans advocacy because of socialisation and honestly it's a discredit to the numerous trans men who are involved daily in pragmatic community rooted activism every day without getting involved in promoting transmisogyny.

The thing I don’t get is why “Don’t Start Shitism” isn’t more popular. As a trans woman, I’d *like* for people to consider me a real girl, but if you don’t, what’s stopping you from just rolling your eyes and moving on? I’d like to think one thing we all have in common is that we’ve got shit to do.
