I guess this is what happens when AIPAC-AI writes your talking points without any human in the chain to check for basic humanity. David Valadao (R-CA-22) literally says that military aid to Israel helps the US because the money goes to the production and TESTING of American weapons systems.

In 2014, I interviewed a Columbia University student who went from class to class carrying the mattress she was raped on—a protest performance piece to remind college administrators what they put on her shoulders. Twelve years later, we still expect women on college campuses to carry that weight.

I can’t stop thinking about the Cornell rape case

‘Gun-shy’ after 2024: Angie Nixon says Democratic leaders are wary of backing Black women candidates
The Florida Senate candidate says a noncommittal Chuck Schumer reflects a broader reluctance, and that the party “could do a lot more.”

Rafah, a city which had a pre-war population of 170,000 and once hosted the "humanitarian zone" for over a 1,000,000 Palestinian refugees, no longer exists in a meaningful way. Literally ground to dust.

I guess I’m talking about the more flashy FM stations, but yeah - I remember WHN, too. When they went sports, though, there was nothing for a while, no?

Which is just to say that if you think you’re siloing yourself off from the working class by NOT listening to modern country music, you are, in fact, in a silo of your own creation.

Entering the modern country music/working class discourse to say that New York City did not even HAVE a country music station for the entirety of my youth in the 70s & 80s. Closest the working classes got would’ve been Glenn Campbell (and specifically, “Rhinestone Cowboy” or “Gentle on my Mind”).

What I can't get over is the Dems out there trying to transphobia their way out of these numbers. Just out there riding the crest of the wave, doing morally unsupportable pandering to bigotry at a time when it is also strategically foolish, just for love of the capitulation game.

Sincerely, do one minute of work on understanding how the generational cycles of parenting and growing up have informed who you are. Think about the ones that retain value to you and why, identify the ones you need to break and break them, and visualize a BETTER future for your own kids.

Accountability post: I keep getting emails to support [redacted] Vindeman, and the latest, from Ken Burns made me so mad that in the “Tell Us Why You’re Unsubscribing” field, I went on this whole rant about how “he lost the primary - what are we doing here,” how Angie Nixon’s great, etc… (1/2)

I just honestly can't get over that Save Women Sports, an anti-trans group could only find five trans athletes competing K through 12. Five. The NCAA president testified a year and a half ago or so that there were less than 10 college level trans athletes. What the fuck are we doing, people

Like, 30 years ago, my father expressed mild interest in trying Pizza Hut’s 5-Cheese-Pizza. Since then, anything he buys or likes that’s even SLIGHTLY upgraded becomes a “5 Cheese [x].” Visiting and using the redone bathroom with the shower with 2 shower heads? “I’ll be in the 5 Cheese Shower!”
