Red state laws, not blue ‘city’ policies, are the entire problem with violence in those states!
Atlanta AND Columbia — Throughout this national gubernatorial election cycle, you have heard all the bad faith talking points from conservatives who have abjectly refused to take any responsibility for the 45 years of failed national policies and the 24 years of failed state policies across Georgia and South Carolina, many of which are showing up in real time right now.

Asshole Of the Month for October
The Asshole Of the Month for October is Riley Gaines. She is the transphobe who started this governmental assault on innocent transgender people.  Enes Kanter harassed many WNBA players in Chicago last month because he was inspired by Ms. Gaines's crusade of bigotry. The GOP is so desperate to cling to the power they have been constantly abusing since 1981 that they are using Ms.

I am every bit as surprised about these allegations as I am about Burke High School’s football team being the worst in S.C. in 2026. As in not at all. I wrote occasionally about the Gamergate bullshit 12 years ago. I know how toxic the gaming community still is to women and trans people.

Making abortion illegal = killing people. That’s it. It’s not more complicated than that. Making health care inaccessible means people die. States that fought the Civil War for the right to own people are now suing so they can own MORE. PEOPLE. It’s state-sanctioned murder and they are FOR it.

Senator Wyden, the only Senator who understands how the Internet works, would have blocked unanimous consent as well. My concern was over the unconstitutional censorship of adult content, not social media. I hope KOSA is finally dead.

This is truly an understatement. Sexual assaults are likely rampant at these events – with women being raped and men being inebriated and robbed by women and some of the men.

As I’ve said before: I’ve been to lots of truly-consensual sex parties, and I’ve been to all kinds of different BDSM play parties. This? Ain’t that. I’ve seen them postings in sex workers forums looking for women to attend these events. But in my opinion, they are not safe events for anyone.

Seattle’s minimum wage would be enough to get you into two Wagener-Salley High School Football games. South Carolina’s minimum wage will not get you into even one War Eagles’ game. That’s the difference between conservative and Leftist policies in a nutshell.

In 2027 Seattle's minimum wage will be $22.14 per hour. That's more than THREE TIMES the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour—a rate that hasn't been raised since 2009. And yet somehow we're not the jobless wasteland orthodox economics would predict. Weird.

Sex workers' rights are under attack across Europe and Central Asia. 🇸🇪 In 2025, despite receiving overwhelming opposition,, Sweden criminalised the clients of online sex work (e.g. OnlyFans). Just as we feared, this dangerous precedent started a new wave of attacks on sex workers' rights.

If you’re not from Missouri, you may not know that Eric Schmitt got his start in MAGA politics by suing public schools for mask mandates while their teachers died during a pandemic. The really strange thing? He never sued his own kids’ school for their mask mandate. He’s a piece of Schitt.

If you are in Texas and Collin County to be more specific, read this.
’Normally, we don't get talk about state elections outside of the Tri-State region of GA, NC and SC, but we need to talk about Brittany Black in Texas.

This is a serious problem.

She has a rap sheet for just about everything under the gamut.

From cocaine to abusing men, this cannot be overlooked.

And Jovan is sick and tired of hearing ’she is not perfect’ or ’we all make mistakes’.

No, most people DO NOT get in trouble with the law.

A mistake would be something like cutting a solo out of a song while making edits on Audacity, going down the wrong pipe in Super Mario Maker 2 or putting the wrong color polish on your feet.

Ms. Black’s history has nothing that qualifies as mere ’mistakes’.

Since we are holding male politicians accountable for their behavior (remember our posts about Graham Platner?), it is way past high time that we do the same with women candidates.

If you are in Texas House District 61, are you willing to give up your morals just to get a Democrat in that seat? Or are you willing to say enough is enough when it comes to criminals in politics?

Think about that and choose wisely.’
