Massie: "I would remind my Republican colleagues who are decided how to vote, Donald Trump can protect you in red districts right now by giving you an endorsement, but by 2030, he's not gonna be the president and you will have voted to protect pedophiles if you don't vote to release those files."

A regime of avaricious, cruel goons isn't the same thing as a "fascist state," and the fact that they have to go to court, fight it out in state elections and legislatures, cower from being filmed (instead of filming *you*) means everything.

Recognize this. Don't surrender to your fears.

One of the most infuriating--and liberating--things about all this is seeing how utterly pathetic our rulers are. A man as powerful as Summers, this empty and sad, with the kind of petty misogyny that he runs crying to *Jeffrey Epstein* about...

If women are underrepresented in STEM, it's at least partly because men like this offer mentoring, then embarrass themselves by assuming their mentees must be into them, then decide the best solution is to cut ties, which sends the signal to other faculty that the mentee must not be good enough.

First off. Hell yes to this man because he understands how powerful his platform is and made sure to call something out many people would have not seen otherwise.

And I love that the Athletic made sure to find the most serious Bron photo art they could lol
LeBron James voiced his opinion on the incident involving a Texas state trooper at the Gamecocks-Aggies game.

The state trooper was "relieved of his game day assignment.”

No one should have to face such threats.

It would’ve been nice if Greene had realized this before she amplified and endorsed calls for executing Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama.
