I am for trans people, migrants, minorities, women, atheists, the poor, the uneducated. Anyone suffering under bigotries denying them equality under the law and the freedom to flourish as they see fit without hurting others while getting support deserved
The fact that Jason Willick is still at WaPo says everything one needs to know about what WaPo has become. Posting on the Xitter too. Yep. Everything. Jason Willick puts the ick in everything.

Imagine if you gave MLB pitchers a bag of balls at the beginning of the year and said "use only the ones you like, and how you have prepared them."

Yeah, even with guidelines that is going to screw the batter.

Same thing here.

No ideology promising any sort of materialist utopia is going to work. Not neoliberal capitalism, not Marxist Socialism. The world is more complex than that.

Trade is something people do. It can be useful. But it is not a god to be worshipped nor a devil that if beaten would make the world all
Ok.

I have no time for True Faith people in any ideology. They are more about being right than doing right. More about bitching than actual change.

I fight for people who don't have that choice.
November 19, 2025 at 12:27 AM
Every person on that plan by choice has sold their soul for access. A little abuse is just part of the transaction they signed up to willingly. All to be propagandists for oligarchs like Michael Bloomberg.

She is the White House Reporter for Bloomberg and before that worked for the Wall Street Journal.
If it were a liberal no one would care.

To a White House reporter for Bloomberg and before that the Wall Street Journal. Of all the people who have helped Trump get away with evil by covering it up, right wing publications and journalists who work there are high on the list.
"Piggy" is the price of access for an oligarch's propagandist
November 19, 2025 at 12:10 AM
I'd like to think that if Trump has taught us one thing worthwhile, it is that the status quo is not inevitable and that change can happen, and happen quickly.
And that if we don't learn to use that knowledge, then yes, they will burn the place down first.

We can do better.

It is time to make being a billionaire illegal. Time for a max wealth with a you won the game award.

Safest bet out there is Trump just out for Trump.

Appeasement has never been a viable strategy with intolerance and fascism.

If journalist were these people's profession instead of propagandists paid to misinform you for a paycheck. Then maybe I'd care about Piggy Reifenstahl.

Notice the propagandist in question isn't complaining publicly about her treatment.

Most private law firms have more ethics.

I love that people who otherwise would say they believe in science can't look at the studies out there and just go "What I like is x, we should all do that".

Neither DST or Standard Time is perfect, we really need a society less fixated on clock time. But as a clock time, Standard best for most.

And to be clear, to me, "a little rapey" is just a rapist.
November 17, 2025 at 11:32 PM
They don't want hold certain men accountable for their actions.

They really don't mind men being a little rapey with others as long as it is men they support.

Just ask Megyn R Kelly about whether it is ok if it happens to her or her daughter compared to Trump's victims.

There are many good independent journalists in the US. The problem is a dependence of legacy media owned by corporate oligarchs who are providing propaganda for their interests not news to help you with your interests.

The first step is to stop engaging with corporate media. They aren't honest.

Trump's Whiff of golden showers.

If Kat were a demon, she still deserves better.

Senator Bennet wants to play musical chairs with Governor Polis. We deserve better than old rich white men out of touch with the people of Colorado and just out for their rich friends and their corporations.
November 17, 2025 at 3:53 PM
Congrats.
Totally deserved. You are one of the greats.
November 17, 2025 at 12:08 AM
The NYTimes had a tight and friendly relationship with a known pedophile while ignoring further information about someone aiming for the Presidency and then holding it.

That pretty much sums up the cover up for insiders culture of the NYTimes.

Not truthful or trustworthy.

Women spent hundreds of years trying not to be defined only as societally acceptable feminine. I don't know why there is the fascination of fragile men from the far right to liberal center to reduce men to a limited view of masculinity.

It is all just so naive, so simplistic, so useless. So inhuman
