It's amazing to think that there was a time before social media when, if you were a gobshite, everybody ignored you. There was no way to make money saying stupid, provocative things because nobody wanted anything to do with you.

Consecutive leaders only use scripture when they need justification for subjugation, to hurt people, to deny their humanity; not to help those who are in need.
SENATOR @warnock.senate.gov : “Are we reading the same Book? The Book I know says ‘I was hungry, and you fed me… I was a stranger, and you welcomed me… insomuch as you’ve done it to the least of these, you’ve done it also unto me.’”

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

Checking notes- it was actually the republicans who hammered these two issues.
This is such bullshit. There wasn't a single Dem who made bathrooms and sports significant parts of their campaigns. I'm really getting sick of guys like Cuomo and Rahm Emanuel retconning the 2024 election.
Haven’t seen this reported yet: in a speech to supporters posted to TikTok last week, NYC mayoral candidate Andrew Cuomo said he believes that Democrats lost in 2024 because “we’re talking about bathrooms and who’s gonna play in what [sports] team”

White people really brought measles, a once eradicated disease, back because they allowed other white people (ex. RFK jr) to convince them that vaccines cause autism…

was recently told by a scholar of some note that it was out of bounds to compare trump's purge of black people from the federal government to wilson's efforts to resegregate the federal bureaucracy
1/2 Just-dismissed Librarian of Congress, Dr. Carla Hayden, has a PhD from U Chicago, is in numerous scholarly societies, has wide acclaim. She is also first African-American to lead LoC.
The dismissal note did not say "Dear Dr. Hayden" or "Dear Madame Librarian" or even "Dear Carla."

Today, FBI Director Kash Patel showed up to Congress with little understanding of his own administration's budget proposal, no clear plan on how to properly fund the FBI, and then lashed out when he was called on his lies.
He said he wanted receipts — so here they are.

People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative.
A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.
