increasingly I have come to believe that men sexually assault and harass *other men* far more than is clearly understood, and I suspect that grappling with that will be crucial to bringing about real change.

I don't know that it makes him presidential material but Ossoff's ability to just be honest about how much of a pile of shit these people really are should be a model to the party.

If you're wondering why Flock leaves cameras up after a contract end, part of their business model and marketing strategy is being able to advertise that their customers can access data from cameras all over the country. You may have canceled your contract, but the cameras still fuel the system.

A real ahaha monument for me was when I took a bus tmy college campus at 5:45 am and expected it to be less crowded than my normal 8:30 full of students and realized the number of service workers who got to campus way earlier to keep it running.

Your sense of entitlement is shocking. Your insistence on staying in this campaign is going to lead to the GOP winning the seat. Which won't serve anything you profess to value. Such a disqualifying failure of leadership.

So if indeed she did work in "corporate law in Beijing" for an undisclosed employer outside of the major international firm network, it just rings as INCREDIBLY suspicious and exactly the kind of backstory that counterintelligence officers look at with a "huh, interesting."

@bretdevereaux.bsky.social I really cannot emphasize enough how much some of Trump's posts have a tone right out of a school shooter manifesto or the last words of a doomsday cult leader about to take his followers with him to their eternal reword.

Look at the shabby state and increasingly authoritarian trajectory of the country and ask yourself if we can endure 2 more years of a lawless Trump administration wreaking havoc with no check from Congress, then vote accordingly. This is not the time for a protest vote or purity politics.

Something I wish more people understood: The helicopters thing is an extremely online Nazi idea with its origins in Pinochet's death flights. If you got the attention of right wingers on Twitter, they used to love to tweet helicopter emojis in response. Collins is deep into online neo-Nazism.
