@dansavage.bsky.social can you get Dr. Sharabi on the show to talk about dating apps? She seems interesting! As dating apps lose their appeal, the race is on to create real-world experiences www.irishtimes.com/life-style/p...

@jessnevins.bsky.social Just picked up a copy of "Who Was Guilty" by Warne/Macy. Thanks for the recommendation and may Ingraham rot in the ninth circle of hell with the rest of the betrayers.

Trans rights and trans liberation now. Anyone with a heart or a soul is sick of this evil shit and how it's taken over the UK - not to mention it's the tip of the spear, as we've been warned by our trans siblings so many times. No forgiveness or pity for transphobes, in government or outside of it.

@strictscrutiny.bsky.social I have a question for the professors. If a president defies a court order, what can be done? Jackson ignored the Court after the Indian Removal was passed. What can the courts do if a president refuses to comply with a court order? Clearly Congress won't do anything.

Lawmakers flooded with calls about Elon Musk: ‘It is a deluge on DOGE’
Angry and confused constituents have flooded the phone lines at the US Capitol this week, many of them asking questions about billionaire Elon Musk’s plans.

@democrats.org @weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social Jon Stewart had hard hitting questions for Hakeem Jeffries, who didn't have any good answers. Jon is correct, Democrats need their own version of Project 2025 so Americans know what they stand for.

I hope you are right. After this election, I have very little faith in your average voter.

Megan @empressith.bsky.social · 05/02/2025
I think the biggest problem we have is that your average voter doesn't understand (or doesn't care) about this. As Mark Twain said, all Americans are just temporarily embarrassed millionaires.

@strictscrutiny.bsky.social Kate's optimism is the only thing getting me out of bed in the morning at this point. Re: EO about schools and patriotic education, is there any way that Trump can enforce it if educators simply ignore the directive?

@weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social Jon nailed the DEI issue. Christie didn't get it. He has no facts to back up his fantasy that all DEI hires are incompetent. I also appreciated Jon's comment that America has never been a meritocracy.

Megan @empressith.bsky.social · 29/01/2025
Jon Stewart is absolutely correct. Democrats need to stop telling us they aren't Trump and start telling us what they are going to do if they ever get back into office. @democrats.org #1 priority for Dems should be outlawing gerrymandering.

I don’t care if you’re a relative, a fantasy novelist, or an elected official, transphobia is manufactured outrage and transphobe are trash. None of America’s problems are cause by trans people. None. But a LOT are caused by bigots.

It's never surprised me when a guy that Pete Hegseth got away with raping someone. But when it all came out, they usually resigned from their position with some bullshit story about spending more time with their families. Now, if you're a rapist, you get every Republican vote in the Senate.
