Casual gamer, love fantasy books, pretty left of center politically though I think I keep an open mind.

Millions of American voters wanted to be villains. They came to believe it’s the key to success, while goodness is weak, woke, loser stuff, done only to signal. Offered the option of unvarnished villainy, they enthusiastically took it. Seeing others suffer more made them feel big. And here we are.

Over 10,000 killed within three days. Pools of blood around a hospital so large they could be seen from space. An absolute nightmare.

Over the past week, the president said the DOJ should pay him a quarter billion dollars, bulldozed half the White House to build himself a gaudy ballroom, bragged about murdering civilians in international waters, pardoned some more criminals, directed federal prosecutors to indict his opponents ...

Texas is preparing emergency resources for wildfires and floods. The Texas National Guard should be THERE — not in Illinois. We stand ready to support their return home so they are best positioned for helping Texans respond to any natural disasters.

People have always been able to have others read their statement, and this wouldn't be the first time a family wrote the statement as if the deceased were speaking. The "deepfake" video is the only new part here. As long as people know how it's made, doesn't seem like a problem.

Watching Putin’s little stooges try to bully Zelenskyy in our goddamned White House is pretty repulsive.

President Trump’s simpering fealty to Vladimir Putin and Russia is embarrassing and dangerous. Illinois stands with Ukraine, and so should the White House.

You really cannot ask for better rallying optics than the mother with her newborn flying across the country and a man dragging himself from his hospital bed. We asked for a united front. We got it. We asked for theatrics. We got it. We asked for country above self. We got it. This is what we want.

Yes, there are lots of negatives around the Pete Hegseth nomination -- the rampant alcoholism, the allegations of sexual assault, the hush money payment to an accuser, the total incompetence leading non-profits, and so on. But ask yourself: Does all that outweigh the total lack of positives?

the clear sign that they just don’t see these kids as real people is the endless concern over hypotheticals and the indifference to the reality that actual children are more likely to kill themselves because of these bans

Yes. Whatever you think of Joe Biden's decision, he simply shouldn't have had the option.

I’m not trans so maybe it’s not my place to say but: If I was the only Black woman surrounded by dozens of people targeting me for harassment/segregation, I’m pretty sure I would say what Sarah McBride did and then I would hope dozens of my colleagues would stand up for me anyway.

Between April 2023 and August 2024, more than 24.8 million people were kicked off Medicaid. Some of them were no longer eligible. But in an eye-watering 70% of cases, there was no explanation.

During the acute phase of the pandemic, it was easy to get on—and stay on—Medicaid. But then the “unwinding” began.

“The left needs to have voices that speak to young people!!” I know I should keep my mouth shut, but I’ve watched at least a dozen smart, passionate, popular left wing content creators get torn to shreds /by the left/ until they retreat either into obscurity or apolitical content.
