The annoying leftie posters were right, 'Dubai is just a normal fun holiday destination' really was a warning sign of fascism all along

I'm not trying to tell you it's not going to suck but this is more or less what the path to most of the good endings looks like:

1) isolated, unpopular president with few allies
2) entirely transactional and lightly committed collaborators
3) deeply committed domestic and international opposition

I can’t believe I have to care about Jimmy Kimmel. This is the worst thing Trump has ever inflicted on the American people.

Nancy Mace’s extremist attempt to censure Rep. Ilhan Omar failed by just one vote on Wednesday, after Democrats maneuvered against it. Mace claimed her censure effort was about Omar’s criticism of Charlie Kirk.

reaching new levels of "no intellectual juice" among the anti-anti-Trump left

My statement on Donald Trump's threat to deport me and his praise for Eric Adams, who the President "helped out" of legal accountability.

There is a fundamental right to bodily autonomy that is so ingrained in humanity that even the dead retain rights to their organs after death. Liz Bruenig can't understand this choice, believing the state is entitled to use women as incubators. It's not a moral debate. It's actually very simple.

hello! She's making a very stupid point and REALLY misusing history to make a lazy, contemporary moral argument.

me & @lollardfish.bsky.social wrote about it just a couple days ago!

I guess the oddest thing about the concept of "gender-critical" is that gender literally is "society & culture telling people how to exist in their bodies in acceptable ways".

And that's what "gender-critical" people want more of, not less.

after this last few months I think I am now in critical support of all weird ultrarich people hobbies. take that horse dancing class. I love that yoga retreat for you. tighten up that golf swing. search the ocean floor for ancient shipwrecks. anything that keeps you in your business and out of ours

Every day, I think, “okay, there can’t be a better case study for how incoherent the government is”, and then they give us a doozy like “reverse or soften the winter fuel decision AND go harder on welfare cuts”.

We need bold leadership. Now.

That's why I'm running to be the next leader of the Green Party.

This "debate" about who should use what toilet doesn’t benefit anyone. It doesn’t fix the underfunding of women's refuges, NHS waiting lists leaving women in terrible pain, mums skipping meals to feed their kids. How about we get on with tackling the real issues affecting women?

you don't need to be jacques lacan to see how desperately transmuting material loss into symbolic gain is really just slapping a fancy new signifier atop a yawning black hole but hey it doesn't hurt

Hate speech breeds hate and violence.

Thank God she survived, but surely the normalisation of transphobia played a part in this.

this fatuous notion need not detain us, but it’s maybe illuminating to ask what constraints the purported ‘deal’ put on the founders. In return for their wealth, would they say foreswear layoffs, commit to always growing their head count, or refuse to engage in offshore tax avoidance strategies?

A thing of real beauty

Arguably the thing that people treat the most dismissively that would absolutely floor pre-modern people is clothing. I don't think non-historians understand how much human labor went into pre-modern creation of clothes and fibers. A single dress is the culmination of many many hours of work
