The default position of the democratic coalition has to be this:
Everyone. Gets. To. Be. Free.
Everyone.
We do not throw members of our coalition to the fashy wolves.
We do not concede that some state-sanctioned bigotry is okay.
Nope.
None of that shit.
We. All. Get. To. Be. Free.
That's it.

Ok Bluesky, what are your most low key celebrity interactions? I once shared a lift with Tim Finn and put drinks in Bryan Brown and Rachel Ward’s fridge. My husband sold cheese to John Cleese and my mum delivered groceries to Gough Whitlam. Go!!

If you're a journalist, and your reaction to the world is "I need to be popular" rather than "I need to burn down the secrets of the powerful," THEN WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU EVEN DOING?

Legacy Media is garbage.
It more than deserves its eventual ignominious casting onto the trash-heap of history.

It seems nuts to me that CNN has partnered with an online gambling site (Kalshi) and hypes their betting lines as “news” to report.

If they force us to choose between calling for the resignation of imbecilic bigots or normalizing hateful religious incitement, that’s not a tough one. This fanatic should spare his constituents any further embarrassment and resign.

This is the kind of thing white supremacists have been doing to Emmett Till’s memorial for decades.
It’s wild to see them do this to a white woman who the entire world saw extrajudicially murdered.

Someone doused Renee Good’s Minneapolis memorial and a nearby pile of wood with gasoline and started a fire at about 9 p.m. Tuesday.
