The thing about an Osman Thursday’s Club is the writing is way better than it need to be — ought to be — for the genre. I just laughed out loud at a passage and tucked it away to think about the emotions it evoked at the same time.

If you think Trump deploying troops in American cities is nothing more than an opportunity to pivot to a completely different subject, you do not belong in Democratic leadership.
The Trump administration’s threat to deploy troops in Portland is unlawful.

Here’s a thought.

Focus on protecting the healthcare of the American people.

I imagine that nearly everyone with a uterus who read this headline had the same reaction as me: Yeah, no shit.
One in six women in the United States has depression, according to CDC.

New research appears to confirm what many suspect — the symptoms often can get worse just before your period.
It’s not your imagination. Your period may be making your depression worse.
More than half of women with depression might experience a phenomenon called premenstrual exacerbation of depression or PME.

the fundamental disconnect between the manosphere and reality is that they are incapable of understanding that this is - according to every woman I’ve ever met - the sexiest thing a man has ever done

The hysteria when you say, “nah I’m good” on all the chat bots is how you know they’re in the grips of roulette fever. You know the guy at a casino, shaking at 2 am, telling you how dumb you are not to get in on this?
The chatbot people are so upset. What are you going to do? Come to my home and force me to use ChatGPT?

There is a 0% chance I would have ever removed myself from that group chat.
imagine being given a front row seat to the inner workings of an authoritarian regime led by the worst people alive and then hurriedly removing yourself because it’s not “appropriate”

See, here Bernie goes with his bullshit again.

The only correct answer here is "no," but instead he perpetuates the "border crisis" myth. 🙄
The White House is promoting this clip where Senator Bernie Sanders is asked if he thinks Trump is getting anything right.

Sanders mentions the crackdown on fentanyl trafficking and “making sure our borders are stronger.”

Sanders adds, “Nobody thinks illegal immigration is appropriate.”

There used to be a general consensus around “sticking it to the man” and now an entire side of the political spectrum loves the man and will do anything for the man and gets their feelings very hurt if the man has to pay taxes.

Senate Democrats must refuse to provide the votes to pass this partisan Republican spending bill. Stand up and fight for the American people like House Democrats did. Vote no on cloture. Refuse to be complicit in giving Musk and Trump a slush fund to destroy Americans lives.

This, precisely, is what I think Dem voters want from their representatives: direct confrontation with people who are used to bullying others both as a matter of substance and style. You don't have to back down to these fucking clowns.
Texas Republican Keithself storms out of the meeting he's supposed to be running because a Democrat asked him to treat his colleague Sarah McBride with respect. These people would not last one day as a trans person.

For me, fighting fascism has nothing to do with thinking I’ll win. I don’t fight because there’s an inevitable outcome, I fight because I couldn’t live with myself if I didn’t do something.

I hope @governorferguson.bsky.social notices that Washington is ready to tax wealth to pay for schools and housing for all. We don’t need to settle for austerity if we can be bold enough and firm in what we believe.
JUST IN: Seattle voters are saying yes to social housing and yes to Proposition 1A, which would levy a 5 percent payroll tax on employers on annual compensation above $1 million paid to any employee in the city. election-results-01.kingcounty.gov/results.pdf

For far too long, D.C. residents have been denied full representation in Congress and the right to fully participate in our democracy.

I joined legislation to change that by finally making DC a state and giving its nearly 700,000 residents a real voice in Congress.

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"
