I'm all for banning athletes born with an unfair competitive advantage over their field.
That's why we should immediately ban rich children from all sports.

Top-notch equipment? Private coaches? Travel leagues?
I'm sorry if this offends you but that's just not natural. That's just not how sports were when I was growing up.
Won't someone think of the children?

I’ve really enjoyed getting my Covid and flu shots in the fall and then spending the rest of the year not having Covid or flu. The fact that this very basic freedom has been taken away is unconscionable. I’m looking for ways to fight back, and stocking up on masks again.

The comments section of this post seems to really hate Democratic politicians who lift on social media. I haven't yet thought about mixing up one of my favorite hobbies with my nascent political career, but I do love any lifting content that isn't conservative-coded.

It's evident that the policies of the Trump regime are unpopular, and we know they'd be soundly rejected if put to a vote. That's why the only question is: what mechanism will they use to stay in power? www.npr.org/2025/07/16/n...

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

I HATE this narrative around Cuomo. The retort to “he got a lot done” isn’t “but he harassed women and was a bully,” it’s “actually he didn’t do much at all – it was just an act – and he let a lot of problems fester with his inaction and awful management style.”
Many of the candidates this year hold or have held public office, but few boast the hands-on experience that Ms. Garcia had.
Mr. Cuomo seems to come the closest, having led the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development under the Clinton administration, and served as attorney general and governor of New York.
Mr. Cuomo is fond of reciting a list of accomplishments, including raising the minimum wage and opening the Second Avenue subway. But his record also includes sexual harassment complaints by 11 women; investigations into his handling of nursing homes during the pandemic and allegations of concealing the number of nursing home residents who died from Covid; and a vindictive management style.

Was just talking to someone who said the Democrats are too far left. And yet, I have not heard a single elected official say anything to the effect of “the fact that we’re leveling apartment buildings in Yemen is also scandalous.” I have yet to see the political influence of the plowshares folks.

Thirty lonely but beautiful actions you can take right now which probably won't magically catalyze a mass movement against Trump but that are still wildly important
Why? Because others will see you do them, and it will make it easier for them to take their own (slightly less lonely but equally beautiful) action by your side
