In response to a slew of anti-trans Democrats pushing hate during the 2026 midterms, Governor Andy Beshear provided principled criticism to the idea that red-state Dems need to adopt anti-trans views to win: "We Don’t Throw Anybody Under The Bus," he said. Subscribe to support our journalism.

The thing about trying to appeal to right wing bigots is that right wing bigots are all stupid idiots who get 100% of their news from propagandists so they will never actually find out that you were trying to appeal to them in the first place

Okay, so I have a plan to get everyone on our side. First, we be absolutely as viscerally unpleasant as possible. Next, we downplay any time we get what we want, say it's the bare minimum and so forth. Finally, if anyone gives up and says we win or apologizes, we belittle them.

Average fan vs. Average enjoyer meme template. The average fan is labeled "Average city transplant hater", and has a Hukou booklet superimposed over him, and is saying: "NOOOO THESE FILTHY MIGRANTS (crossed out) TRANSPLANTS ARE RUINING THE CITY!!!" The average enjoyer is labeled "Average city transplant enjoyer" and has a chart showing the population growth of multiple different US cities betwen 2023 and 2024,m and is saying: "People want to come and live in our beautiful city? Splendid."

"This election is about the threat of trans kids" is the worst possible messaging for Dems yet so many candidates are leaning into it. No voter will flip R->D over it. Low-info voters read this as "you're focused on bullshit that doesn't affect me" while the base reads this as "you're an asshole."

3 panel comic titled “Logging into Bluesky”

Panel 1: 
A Pink Guy bursts into Bluesky wearing a t-shirt that says “Fun”. His little face looks so happy.

Panel 2: 
Six Bluesky users turn to look at the Pink Guy. They all look dour and angry because they have been overdosing on the discourse. Having the current state of the world mainlined into their veins for 22 hours a day has left them real grumpy.

Panel 3:
Pink Guy slowly removes his t-shirt and quietly says “sorry”. He won’t soon forget that Bluesky is the home of Serious Discussion. If he wants “Fun” maybe he should log into the Barney the Dinosaur forums.

This is bad and should be called out. I push back against accusing everyone that breathes for wanting to throw us under the bus, so it is credible when we call it out when it unambiguously occurs. This is an unambiguous occurrence.

You know, I’ve always found that if you expect disappointment, disappointment is still just as crushing. Hope doesn’t make disappointment worse. It just makes anticipation better. And sometimes, bad things don’t happen, and good things do.

Total vindication of this website that she came running here to rebuke gyges despite his account having a relatively insignificant number of followers. A bunch of people who say they’re too good for this place are still paranoid and keep track because they need to know what the nonbelievers think.

The women's revolution in Myanmar goes largely unremarked upon in the legacy media, but these young women struck a decisive blow against the junta yesterday. They have built a world in the mountains where they could be free in a way the state there would never have allowed them to be.

Unfortunately, the first part isn't really true anymore. My mom knows who Hasan Piker is. My mom is *not* the kind of person who should know who Hasan Piker is. Now, whether that would be the case if the Right and Center never decided to kick up a storm about him? That's a different question.
