The crisis PR woman Baldoni hired to allegedly smear Blake Lively also worked on Johnny Depp’s campaign against Amber Heard.
When social media activity trashing Blake Lively ramped up she texted a colleague:
‘It’s actually sad because it just shows you have people really want to hate on women.”

I’m not advocating for violence - I just would like billionaires to be held to a similar standard. If they had the same level of accountability then this probably wouldn’t have happened - at least it probably wouldn’t have been celebrated in quite the same way.

“We don’t kill people in cold blood.” Because when you do it from behind a computer screen by denying lifesaving treatments it isn’t considered “in cold blood” just cold blooded.

Josh Shapiro with a straight face making that statement while
A) supporting funding the murder of Palestinians
B) talking about American values while ignoring the presumption of innocence (a supposedly foundational belief in this country)

"Disrupt" is code for "Destroy reliable established services so that money previously widely distributed now funnels into a single source." Just like "AI" is code for "Mine the work humans did in the past so we don't have to pay them for their work in the future." That's why VCs like both words.
“Disrupt” is a very Silicon Valley word. Every time I see it crop up in a business-case, my bullshit-detection hackles go up.

A large chunk of that 25% is trans rights and too many dems are ready to throw in the towel on that.
Except everything isn’t a crisis. Only like 25% of the stuff we are treating like a crisis is an actual crisis. The other 75% is to distract us from the 25% that we aren’t focusing on enough. Not only that, we’re ready to throw in the towel on things that matter so we can focus on RFKjr banning mayo

A lot of people in the replies talking about how awful the GOP is for their callousness- but I doubt it’s just the GOP talking like this.
A lot of people are shocked by the “points on the board” phrase - as was I - but it was also shocking how common I heard this and other game-type metaphors.
Many who are deeply disconnected from the harm do view and talk about it privately as a kind of sport. It is gross 🤢

Who could have predicted that a Democratic loss would push them even farther to the right, instead of to the left, which a lot of folks insisted would happen?

Bernie Sanders on the Senate floor just now: The United States government cannot provide weapons to countries that violate internationally recognized human rights or block US humanitarian aid. That is not my opinion, that is what the law says.

the lesson of the election isn’t “we should give up on trans rights,” it’s that the GOP took an issue that negatively impacted almost no one and made it a headliner. why would it help to surrender on an issue if they can create a grievance from thin air?

More likely not standing for anything and running on a “not Trump” platform is why he won the election.
