Spreadsheets are my love language and I think white supremacy is stupid. West coast girl living in New England. Recovering teacher. My dog is the best dog.

I’ll end up in a Trump camp at some point. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Opinions are mine, and *sometimes* they’re satire.

I spent several years teaching in a locked-down juvenile detention facility and one thing I am good at is eviscerating the incel/tough-guy types.

Lesson #1 in handling an incel: DOMINATE HIM, but stay calm while doing it.

He says “your body my choice”? You post:
POLITICIANS:

WE ARE NOT YOUR THERAPISTS!!!

It’s cool that you’re as upset as we are but you asked for the job of participating in the political process so SHUT UP AND DO THE WORK.

Write your feelings in your journal, notify the public when you’re actually doing something.
Well, an independent investigation now confirms it: Hegseth endangered the lives of American pilots during Signalgate.

Our servicemembers deserve leaders who never put them at unnecessary risk. If Hegseth had a shred of decency, he’d resign.

This is the head of the company that CNN just partnered with, insisting that prediction markets are a great way to cut through the noise and determine what’s true and what isn’t.

No, really, listen to him. It’s actually that stupid.

Clearly @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social is compromised by Peter Thiel, Palantir, and Israel.

What the actual fuck is he doing in charge of anything, @housedemocrats.bsky.social?

Hakeem Jeffries needs to resign immediately.

Do something now or you’re all equally as inept and spineless.

Unbelievable.

this clip encapsulates so much of what has been wrong about MSM Trump coverage for the past decade -- treating Trump's lies and bigotry as a valid "side" of a debate instead of calling it out, because calling it out makes it seem as though you're biased

There are supposedly serious people who have argued that this *isn't* a white supremacist regime and they should not be taken seriously ever again.
Trump, continued: "What the Somalian people have done to Minnesota is not even believable. It’s not even believable. And a lot of it starts with the governor. A lot of it starts with Barack HUSSEIN Obama, because that’s when people started coming in... They want to kiss our country good night."

This just in: man known for “warfighter” ethos too afraid to turn in his phone or own his actions.
MORE Breaking on MS NOW: Pete Hegseth refused an interview request for the Pentagon Inspector General's investigation into Signalgate, according to two sources who read and were briefed on report.

Hegseth would not turn over his phone, a source who read the report told MS NOW.
Breaking on MS NOW: The Signalgate report contradicts Pete Hegseth's claims he did nothing wrong. It shows he "violated policy by using a non-approved device," a source who read the report says.

Hegseth failed to preserve records. The report says he put the operations and service people at risk.

I've said this before and I'll say it again: Democrats can't hold official committee hearings, but they absolutely can gather in a room and invite people to answer questions and stream it live and invite the press to cover it.
NEW: Jim Jordan and House GOPers refused to let the American public hear directly from Jack Smith, per his attorney.

The establishment Democratic Party narrative that young progressive criticism of Israel is the result of brainwashing is the most patronizing shit since Republicans accused Black Democrats of being on “the plantation.” Just fucking stop it.

Excellent piece. Most of it discusses the harms to girls and women in evangelical families who are taught that it's their job to not tempt men into sexy stuff.

The kicker is, how do the men turn out when they're taught as boys that their sexual impulses are inherently uncontrollable?
"The idea that teenage girls are not only stumbling blocks for their male peers but also sources of temptation for adult men is the darkest and most dangerous point of convergence between purity culture and rape culture."
"Caring adults should seek to lovingly guide adolescents along. But time and again we arrest young people, particularly girls, on this journey and project adult thoughts and experiences onto them. It’s a distortion that simply falls apart if we really look at the teenager before us."

Kushner said he wouldn't have a foreign policy role in this administration just like the Trump Organization said it wouldn't make new foreign deals, just like Karoline Leavitt said Trump has never engaged in a conflict of interest.
As Jared Kushner prepares to meet with Putin today on behalf of Trump, REMEMBER: After taking billions from the Saudis and other foreign governments, Kushner explicitly said he would not have a foreign policy role in this administration.

These debates about accommodations for autistic and ADHD people always seem predicated on the false idea there is some generous but zero-sum basket of resources.

There isn’t.

I’m not one to defend Taylor Swift but being mad at people for failing to clap back at the government on Twitter is…weird. And lame. Twitter is not real life.
Sabrina Carpenter joins many others, from Beyoncé to Foo Fighters, who condemn 47 team’s use of their music for promo purposes. She's the latest to be embroiled in the admin’s efforts to put a cheeky spin on its immigration crackdown.

Taylor Swift has *not* objected to their use of her music.

RCFP is currently representing me in my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan Police to release body cam footage from their raid on the US Institute of Peace earlier this year.

Please support them so they can further their vital work of maintaining journalists' First Amendment rights!
When the government refuses to release public records, we take action. When reporters are arrested for doing their job, we speak up.
