Gas prices are basically the only economic measure that people track on a near-daily basis. And right now they are significantly worse than when Biden was facing the 2022 midterms — and particularly in several states with close Senate elections. www.ctinsider.com/columnist/ar...

Thinking about how @oliviamesser.bsky.social covered some of the worst fraternity hazing you could ever think of, and then stuff worse than that, for two straight years at The Daily Beast. I would not last a week in that job.

Tbf it also exists to subject men to ritualized abuse in order to irreparably bond them to each other so that they won’t blow the whistle on all the raping

If rapists actually faced consequences for their actions we wouldn’t have nearly as many rapists. In reality many rapists actually benefit from their actions

This is priceless. Check out how local news is reporting on Sen Eric Schmidt’s clown-show grilling of Jack Smith. They found Jack Smith at the game… “Top corner, section 109, row 1. In fact, that seat doesn’t even exist in Atlanta.”

Senate Republicans thought it would be a good idea to have Jack Smith testify during the midterm elections to distract people from their disastrous policies-like tariffs and the #GOPWarOnHealthcare It didn’t work. And it reminded America of just how big a crook Trump really is

shutting down frat houses won't end rape culture, but it will disorganize a lot of rapists, and i think that's probably worth doing if only to destabilize what is apparently an ecology of organizations that functionally exist to rape women per the whole "purpose of a system is what it does" insight.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I still don't get this. Schmitt was saying Smith went to a Hawks game. His evidence was texts that mention "Jack" but not from Smith (and the Hawks does not have a 109 row). Yes, Smith went to a Hawkeyes game, but Schmitt did not present any evidence of that.

Later in the thread. Two problems: (1) many of these folks are *not* undocumented—they’re just removable; and (2) in any event, whether they received the process that is due before being deported to somewhere they might be tortured is, in fact, much of what’s *actually being litigated.*

“To be clear, this is a big win for President Trump and gives him an important tool to ensure that illegal aliens are promptly removed after receiving all process due.”
