My kingdom for a political party willing to campaign on prosecuting everyone from Trump down to the lowliest, slithering ICE agent.

I admit this (very kind) post gave me very mixed feelings, but ultimately I’m proud to be counted among the gayer men you know (and hopeful that you know some seriously fabulous homosexuals).

Life is hard and short no matter what, and there’s nothing of any ultimate importance to be gained for oneself by making things worse for others.

Show me a man who wants to dominate others to make himself feel better and all I’ll see is a child who’s never seen or felt pain up close himself.

My feelings about my military service are complicated and ever evolving, but one thing that I’m certain of is that my experience of war, of doing violence and having violence done to me, all for no reason whatsoever in the end, has left me with an almost crippling empathy for my fellow human beings.

Bernie's implication that a veteran is just expected and allowed to be awash with toxic masculinity had me thinking today about the time I read @lorencrowe.bsky.social (one of the gayer men [laudatory] I'm aware of)'s jaw-dropping Silver Star citation.

I hope that people are talking to Ayanna Pressley about running.

Markey could lose or he could kick off during the campaign, and having one of MA’s senate seats locked up by the John Fetterman of Marblehead would be a disaster.

Anyone working for ICE needs to be frozen out of American society forever.

If they hate this country so much that they’ll go to war against it, then they can leave.

Videos taken by eye witnesses of federal agent encounters with immigrants in Chicago and elsewhere have shown increasingly tense incidents. Immigrant advocates and observers say they're indicative of a larger trend of aggression among federal immigration officers.

This is the way.

Democrats who won’t campaign against Trump won’t do anything to fight him once they get elected.

Frankly, I’m shocked that Trump actually thought he might get a Nobel Prize. I thought he was just gassing himself up this whole time.

What a bonkers thing to think!

In a sane and just world where the police actually served and protected the public, local cops would be patrolling immigrant communities and arresting ICE agents for assault and kidnapping.

We can’t out-Republican Republicans, nor should we want to.

Democrats need to say what they believe — and actually believe in something.

Shouldn’t need to be said, but murdering random fishermen in international waters is absolutely political violence, which I’m told we all abhor.

JFC. I use this public bathroom all the time because a) it’s right in between my home, work, school, and the Garment District, and b) I drink a ton of water all day.

No more I guess. Stay safe out there. I hope someone sues.

THE CITY @thecity.nyc · 28d

While NYPD officers are bound by New York City’s sanctuary city policies, Amtrak Police are federal officers who do not have to abide by those protections even when working inside of the city.

This 1899 ad for men’s corsets is real, and it’s spectacular.

It’s like, “I’ve got it! We’ll butch up the corset by naming them all after British Field Marshals!!”

Liberalism has *always* been “of the left.”

The left-right spectrum analogy was literally invented to describe liberal revolutionaries vs. defenders of the status quo.

Screenshot of a New Yorker interview that reads:

“Question: Liberalism refers to many things. What liberalism are you talking about in the book?

“This is not liberalism of the left, and not liberalism of the neoliberal sort associated with a particular set of right-wing views, but instead a commitment to freedom, pluralism, and the rule of law. That’s the holy trinity of the liberal tradition.”

I love that I just can’t order fabric and supplies from abroad because of tariff insanity.

Such winning. So much freedom.

Fashion supply chains are international and very long. Always have been. That’ll never change.

We’re not going to grow a meaningful silk industry here in a year, or even ten.

For anyone who needs to hear this, by virtue of being a “human being” with “empathy” and a concern for “the dignity of others,” well, I regret to inform you that you are and always have been a part of antifa.

These people died from political violence, but it was white collar violence so no one kicks up much fuss.

After years of bipartisan warnings about TikTok’s potential national security risks, users may soon confront a different kind of threat, perhaps even worse: an algorithm “controlled by America.”

This is what we need from elected officials -- a commitment to stand up for their constituents and, just as important, a willingness to tell right-wing trolls to get bent.
