'Matt Gaetz Raped A Homeless Teenager' is what you mean.

A teenager with a homeless parent? What? The fuck? Did she have a home and not allow her parent to live in it? Ended up having sex with? What? Yeah clearly you guys been caping for pedos long enough and you understand the assignment here
A teenager in Florida with a homeless parent wanted money for braces and ended up having sex for money with powerful men, setting off a chain of events that would have a dramatic impact on her life and help upend the political career of Representative Matt Gaetz. nyti.ms/49PSkL9

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

People fucking hate this guy. They fucking hate ICE. They fucking hate how much power he has. He is at 63% overall disapproval to 37% approval. That's lower than their poll after January 6th. And this poll was done before he started intentionally starving people. I wish our media would reflect this.

Look, I’ve been incredibly outspoken against the very real problems the gerontocratic Dem power structure has made for itself, including its submission to corporate interests, but if you keep a fucking Nazi tattoo on your fucking body for LONGER THAN A LITERAL DECADE that’s a *you* problem.

Do not vote for Gavin Newsom in the primary. Don’t do it. This isn’t purity testing or any other bullshit, this is a fundamental human rights question. Newsom does not see trans people as people, and he should not be allowed into higher office.

To build on this, it’s not unique to the left. This is my conservative father’s preferred rationalization of modern insanity. “It’s always been like this” or “all politicians do these things.” What reads as cynical savvy is just a permission structure to allow things that further one’s own beliefs.
there’s a subset of people who, if you point out something bad happening now, will basically reply “it was always like this and anyone who disagrees is just privileged.” it parades as savvy but nine times out of ten it’s just an ahistorical oversimplification.
"they've always been like this" is always a tempting savvy take but it is just not true that Republican staffers were 100 percent open Nazis back in 2004, or hell even 2014. they just weren't

The ADL thought it could fall in line with Musk and it would stop his attacks on them. Instead, it just made them complicit, legitimized Musk, and ultimately didn’t actually change him at all.

This is how fascists work. Greenblatt tried being transactional: for fascists, it only goes one way.

The gap between teacher pay and other college graduates’ pay is the highest it’s been in over four decades.

Is there a “teacher shortage,” or a shortage of jobs that treat educators with the pay, dignity, and support they deserve?

WaPo running this story as if they aren’t actively part of the problem is wild
A week after the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk, President Trump and his allies are attacking critics of the right-wing activist, a campaign detractors described as an alarming attempt to stunt freedom of expression.
Trump, allies seek to punish speech they dislike following Kirk killing
The White House-directed campaign, which is likely to face legal challenges, defies past GOP rhetoric condemning the label “hate speech” as a pretext for political persecution.

The way that I was raised, being Jewish meant believing that every human life was sacred; to save a single human life meant saving all of humanity. That no law or ritual was more important than saving a single human life.

It's unfathomable that any Jew can accept what Israel is doing in Gaza.

In the past when I sat down to write about Israel, I’ve had a moment where I take a deep breath and accept that, as a Jewish woman, it’s going to be difficult. This time, there was no such moment.

I wrote about the intentional starvation of Gaza by Israel/US, and the moral imperative to say enough:
Gaza is starving
Palestinians seeking food are being killed by the IDF. It's time for the entire world to say enough.
