Just putting this wish out into the universe for 2025:
Seeking an agent who's #MSWL includes an upmarket tale of star-crossed Sapphics, whose theme song could easily be Chappell Roan's "Good Luck, Babe!" or Taylor Swift's "Right Where You Left Me."

Socialism (or communism) is what they called the Civil Rights Movement.
Socialism is what they called public power.
Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

On a call with reporters, DNC chair Ken Martin responds to JD Vance claiming Dems only won big last night because races were in blue states.
"Well that's bullshit. We won in red counties, blue counties, purple counties," Martin says. And it was all "a rejection of Trump."

I like that republicans keep calling mamdani a “literal communist” because they’ve been calling everyone to the left of william mckinley a communist for a hundred years and they need to distinguish

I'm pissed that they're blaming women for a nonexistent "autism crisis." I'm pissed that they're lying about what autism is and that mainstream people are normalizing what they're saying about autistic people. I'm pissed that this murderous grift is continuing. I'm just pissed.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.
This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.
All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

The guard in LA could be the start of a fascist power grab, yes. It could also be a massive overplaying of a bad hand by a president who had the worst week of his term, and an immigration czar who was publicly humiliated and is desperate to goose his numbers. We don't know yet.

so to be clear about what happened here, the Trump White House released audio meant to make Joe Biden look bad to Axios hours after the US's credit rating was downgraded.
Trump wanted a distraction and the usual suspects in the press are happy to oblige.
