Ya know, these young men wanted to live out their fantasy of living in the Roman Empire. They sure did get it, didn’t they? The Caligula era specifically. Better suit up, the president is about to have ya’ll shooting at the water in the strait of Hormuz because he can’t get his boats through.

With the HP trailer dropping tomorrow, here's the whole deal: If you watch the show, hell even just the trailer, I will think less of you. I will dislike you. I will think you don't care about trans people. That's it. It's been years. There's no wiggle room. No qualifiers. You care or you don't.

Currently tearing my hair out because I adopted an urgent rent need for a family that needs to pay $3050 RIGHT MEOW to stay out of eviction court and then I got an urgent request from another rent fund and there’s $320 left in my Venmo account. So much need and I wish I could be everywhere at once 😭

Don't forget that Zohran Mamdani spent his entire campaign standing proudly beside the trans community. He went to trans rights rallies just to show support. He proudly waved trans rights flags without hesitation. He refused to back down in support of trans rights. That makes me happy.

No, Bernie, sending squads of goosestepping fascists to conduct mass raids and terrify entire communities is not "better." This is a godawful take and you should feel bad.
If you don’t have any borders, you don’t have a nation," Sanders, a Vermont independent who caucuses with the Democratic Party, said on The Tim Dillon Show on Wednesday. "Trump did a better job. I don’t like Trump, but we should have a secure border. It ain’t that hard to do. Biden didn't do it."

Texas Democrats aren’t running away from anything. They’re fighting, with every tool they have, to save our democracy. Kudos to each and every one of them for taking this stand. We should be inspired by their courage and reminded that tyranny is only possible if we submit to it.

This is dire. American sunscreens don’t work very well and have a lot of toxicity as well as often causing skin irritation and eye irritation. So… as the stopgap, consider sun sleeves and sun hats, rashguards or wetsuits instead of swim suits. And YELL AT YOUR CONGRESS CRITTERS.

I think it's also important to point out that for all of the "Young Men Are Going Hard Right!!!" hand wringing, young men are still to the political left of every older cohort. The issue is that youth voting was significantly down this cycle, probably because they were given jack shit to vote for.
A pew poll showing that 62% of men 18-29 lean Dem, the second largest Dem leaning cohort after women 18-29, and ten points higher than the millennial cohort.

This is why swinging right is such a ridiculous choice for Dems if they want to win. Progressive policies when elections. Dems can’t ever reach across the aisle far enough to get the vote of a Republican voter. They’ve been convinced that a vote for any Republican is their religious duty.

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978? 100%? 500%? Try 1,085% Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

If the question is "how is this allowed?" or "how is this legal?" the answer will always be found by remembering laws aren't self executing and someone has to enforce them. Laws aren't magic, and laws by themselves prevent nothing. If a law is not enforced, it's just words on paper.
