Weasely Dems think you can split the baby on this -- oh, just a little discrimination at the high school sports level, but not elsewhere! We defend trans kids here, or here, but not here.
RWers understand the dynamic better. If you open the door to hate, it doesn't stop in the first antechamber!

The fact that not a single reporter tells Mike Johnson “let me read it for you” or “here it is” when he claims he hasn’t seen or doesn’t know a thing about the psychotic ramblings of the head of state is not only a dereliction of journalistic duty, but a display of pure cowardice.

I keep thinking about how important this is, and who benefits from the narrative that only a guy named Edward can be the hero who intervened to protect Jewish lives, not a guy named Ahmed
This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites.
The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.

Two victims of previous school shootings — Mia Tretta, who was shot in the stomach in 2019 at Saugus High School, and Zoe Weissman, who survived the 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School — are now at Brown. Gun violence is out of control in this country.

I think there’s a significant number of MAGA House members who have already decided they’re going to lose the House, it will probably be embarassing, and their prospects are better if they sit a few rounds out to leave everyone else cleaning up the mess THEY MADE THEMSELVES WHEN THEY GOT HERE

Said this almost verbatim to my sister yesterday!
I know the Whitecaps are our rival, but from this Sounders fan, they've always felt more like a little brother than a rival. For me, LAFC is second on the hate list, not behind Portland by much.
So with that all said, I'm overjoyed Vancouver ousted LAFC last night. Big time win.
