Look if we let the Death Star blow up the Trans Kids Playing Sports planet, it will stop there, just like when we let it blow up the Welfare planet in the 90s.

We said they were equal, I don’t understand why people are so upset when we keep telling everyone it is equal.

And some of those people are terrible and don’t believe in universal human rights. Are 100% of Dems good on 100% percent of things? Nope. But the alternative is things getting even worse. There is a very good chance that if Dems don’t take the House, 2028 might not even matter.

I think there is this idea on the left that the GOP just moved to where they are today in one election, when this has been a 40 year project. Representative democracy is messy, compromises have to happen. I understand not compromising human rights, but to get things done, you have to work w/ people

They won’t certify a Dem win in 2028 if the GOP controls the House.

Ben King @benking.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

If Dems control the House they can certify a Dem win in the 2028 election, if they don’t, there is a sizable chance it doesn’t and Vance becomes Prez, then you don’t have to worry about Trans rights as they will be eliminated. That is thinking about the more than the midterm.

If it comes down to a 51 Dem Senate, you would much rather have Fetterman than Oz. Should Fetterman be primaried? Yes, 100%. But control of committees matters for so many reasons and that includes preventing bills from seeing the floor. This is the same in the House.

She is proof that you can have fame and wealth and leave the world better because of it. It doesn’t have to be about getting that next million because everyone has value and that is who Dolly Parton is to me.

Yeah, didn’t they just post about this a few days back?

I live in Illinois and I don’t think we will get butternut squash, pumpkins or cantaloupe this year, for the same reasons.

As a parent of a high school senior, it is a problem that this is only a conversation that is playing out on the right. There is a massive stratification of students who take AP and Dual-Credit courses in high school. It is adding another layer between upper and middle/lower class students.

I would not give them ideas.

Carville’s whole thing was using gimmicks and it lots of luck, and even then he was not very good at it. Don’t forget that he didn’t take Rick Santorum seriously. He is an old school southern Dem and the party left him 30 years ago and he won’t be missed.

JM: We tried to eviscerate the last vestiges of integrity in the game in relation to gambling and I am shocked how upset people were about it. Rest of college football: Seems like he still doesn’t understand why people were pissed about it.

That should have been one even without the VAR.

Meant additional context.

Some context, she won Cook County Illinois (Chicago and near suburbs) with almost 70%.

Would the Baileys talk about it over dinner, if not then obviously it is completely unimportant.

We need to run the tweet by a focus group first and see if it plays in Peoria.

It is not Islamophobia to block the sales to Saudi Arabia just as it is not Antisemitism to block the sales to Israel.

Maybe they are starting to purge the rot from their system?

This feels like getting caught doing something you wanted to do, but were hoping your excuse would be enough to provide you cover.

Especially if you don’t say anything about it prior.

If they were attending in protest but for assignment, they could have said so before hand. They didn’t, I think that could lead a reasonable person to conclude they support it. I am willing to admit I am wrong on this, but I didn’t see any evidence in the last few weeks saying so.

It is so nice of this man to save so many ladies the trouble, ver considerate of him.

Y’all, this is outdoor gear. It’s for backpackers who might not see a laundromat for weeks, campers who want to know which underwear will dry quickly after a long hike, etc. These underwear are sold at REI!They are not primarily meant for your weekend in Vegas. “Travel” is marketing speak.

Ben King @benking.bsky.social · 18/04/2026

I came here to say this. If you are backpacking or camping saving on weight is huge, not every trip involves a massive bag and the space for 5 pairs of underwear.

020

Ben King @benking.bsky.social · 18/04/2026

Or this can be for people taking that trip to California or Montana and backpacking where those washable underwear are vital because you are camping and saving on weight matters.

So 800 of the people attending? We don’t make trains free for the people going to their once in a lifetime concert, tennis match or other event, why does this event get to be special? I recommend that FIFA cover the costs, they will be making the money, not the taxpayers who subsidize it.

I am 100% for free transit, but I want it all the time, not just when the well off want to enjoy events.

Didn’t the last two World Cups take place in Russia and Qatar, which are authoritarian states? I am not sure we want that comparison, or maybe we do?

I voted for you today, but honestly if the other candidate had been nearly anyone else I would not have. We want you in the streets protesting. Getting arrested…… doing SOMETHING. We don’t want establishment Dems anymore. Do better.
