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

If you want to really know how the outrage machine gets fired up: 1. Schmitt plans to drop “bombshell” on Smith 2. Someone plants story that Schmitt is a Vance VP contender to run same day 3. Right-wing Twittersphere gets talking points 4. Schmitt steps in it 5. Scheduled tweets go out anyway

Who's funding Question 8, the ballot question to roll back the legalization of marijuana? An out-of-state dark money group founded by George W. Bush speechwriters, alleged to be bankrolled by the liquor industry and the pharmaceutical industry. Vote NO on 8.

I have a soft spot for the Boston area FNB chapters. As a kid who grew up poor I would often eat their spaghetti at Copley sq as an extra meal when I didn't have money to buy one.

its not simply about boycotting meta. one company has made their products indispensable for communication in the modern world. they blocked lulas electoral ads the week before the election. theyre trying to sway public opinion against the victim of a gangrape. states need to intervene.

Suspending the gas tax is such a non-solution solution. Gas prices will fill the gap quickly and it reinforces our dopendacy on fossil fuels. We need to invest in multi-modal transportation options and focus on green energy, those are longer term solutions to protect against gas prices.

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.

went to a theater here in Massachusetts to watch a movie. Without going TMI here- Look, the average person does not care about trans people using the bathroom. They simply do not. I have never had any issue and only the biggest losers in society, such in our government would care. Says something!

"Don't give archconservative MAGA cranks control of historically large and important media conglomerates" seems like a very low bar, but leading Democrats somehow fail to hit even that. If Democratic leadership wants to understand why it's unpopular with its own base, look no further than this.

The GOP is historically unpopular, real people are suffering from real issues and dem candidates are attacking trans people and won't shut up about Hasan Piker. This is either accidentally or intentionally the worst political strategy ever.

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.

The Democrats defend the Kennedy Center but not trans people.
A building.

@treewarrior.bsky....
maybe because defending everything about a super small minority of the population is not worth losing to fascists

this, I think, is the actual centrist position on trans people in sports in this country I want a world in which trans kids play sports and everyone is welcoming and lets them be themselves and maybe a lot of the country isn’t there yet, but they also simply have other priorities in their lives

When it comes to ballot questions, follow the money. The funding for Question 3 isn’t coming from democracy advocates. It’s coming from private equity execs and venture capitalists who bankroll education privatization, conservative Dems, and Republicans across the country. #NoOn3

I have a very respectable 20-yr sample size. While the number of men sending me AI generated content has increased, overall the number telling me that they’ve solved the problems of the universe has not changed. So for me, it’s just the mechanism that has changed, not the frequency.
