I think Americans are realizing that democracy is a participation sport, and the the government is ours if we want it to be. I feel like we got complacent and hoped some other third party would do the work for us. Seems like we have to learn that lesson every generation.

Ladies, your voices matter. Thank God for your voices. May every man who ignores those voices or tries to minimize them repent.

Seeing a few comments about “dead rapists bringing down living rapists”.
Let’s be clear.
It’s not Epstein that has Trump and MAGA on the defensive. It’s not Epstein that had a former Prince stripped of his title.
It’s the survivors of Epstein’s abuse. It’s the women who refused to be silent.

Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.

I heard this today. “Allyship or advocacy should never be transactional. You do it because it’s right. You do it to uplift people.”

Neil's comment is the kind of logic that not only has led to women being stepped on, but enables abuse.
Feminism is NOT the opposite of patriarchy. It is not a "leadership" paradigm.
Feminism is the acknowledgement that women have the same agency, voice, and value as men.

I repeat: Floyd’s murder was state violence, and originally the police presented the killing as justified. Kirk’s killing was immediately declared a murder and his killer will face justice.

The Pod Save America bros are setting up a "debate" about trans rights featuring anti-trans ghoul Matt Yglesias, apparently! No clue who the "pro-trans" side will be repped by, but I'm really worried that they're going to just find someone to get steamrolled.
so there’s gonna potentially be a pod save america “debate” on democrats future support for trans rights in the near future
i had to back out because of scheduling conflicts, and for some reason they didn’t want my help finding a replacement

White evangelical Christians who spent a generation touting purity culture & abstinence & courting & True Love Waits & the evils of divorce and homosexuality, in this moment, exposed the bankruptcy & emptiness of their supposed beliefs. Those of us raised in it took it seriously but they never did.

This morning I am thinking about the Christians cheering the ruling in United States v. Skrmetti, cheering the dead bodies of beloved trans children, cheering the destruction of life. I am thinking about the Christians obsessed with the genitals of minors while they call us "groomers" and predators.
