There is such political naivety in the US that it only takes one image of five Palestinians dancing in the street to obliterate the bigger picture.

go on GQP, keep running your fucking mouth. These are going to sound incredible in the Lincoln Project’s commercial that they put out about a week before midterms. I will relish the look of bewilderment on the average GQPer’s face when they realize that women have sufficient brain power to go into a voting booth…

While birth control is the most common reason people use the pill, 14% of pill users take it only for other reasons. And more than half of pill users rely on it at least in part for purposes other than pregnancy prevention.

Head to the polls, indeed. Conservatives are counting on Americans to prioritize taxes and crime over a woman’s fundamental rights. And they might be right. Reliably blue Oregon is likely to elect an anti-choice Republican.

The seller marketplace on Amazon is a glorified eBay, and eBay is a gloried flee market. It would definitely be off to fine the organizer of a flee market because one of the vendors was selling an illicit product. Absolutely they should just ban it, and fine the seller, but not fine the host

I get (and agree with) your inference of his blatant hypocrisy; I would, however, like to push back just a smidge by pointing out that (in his impotent mind) she is one of the good ones, part of a “model minority”....ya’ know, not like the Blacks that George Soros seems to love so much.

So what? Doesn’t mean he’s not a racist. Strom Thurmond was a virulent racist who fathered a child with black housekeeper; the GOP don't understand things like nuance or dissonance. 

The final triumph of George Washington is within sight.

Didn’t realise the Finns also loved the monarchy.

I really want someone to explain why helping someone go to another state for a completely legal procedure in that state is any of the home state’s business, or even where the home state would have standing of any sort to prosecute. 

If you aren’t willing to risk what you have for what is right, you don’t deserve either.

Which could have resulted in them being charged under state laws and not being able to practice anyway, which impacts an even larger segment of the community that needs them.

“Of course she should be allowed to use lethal force to protect herself when multiple crimes are being committed against her. Fear of imminent danger is absolutely a valid reason to defend yourself. Wait, what’s that? Oh, she’s the black one in this situation? Oh, no, fuck that then, throw the book at her.”…

“We’ve always done it this way... She was an addict and we just used her as an informant like we’ve done a million times before...chalking the incident up to his own inexperience...There are always things you learn that you can do better.”

“Officers overseeing the operation also claimed they hadn’t considered that an attack like this would happen.”

One of the major planks in the Republican Party Platform appears to be “there are no quiet parts” and I don’t see any indications they have actual problems with any of this.

“It’s not an issue,” says the dog who finally caught the car.

While I don’t think anything you wrote is exactly wrong, where should places like MSNBC (which does well with the grading curve), or host like Todd (who is simply horrible) go for balancing opinions (where that’s actually appropriate, or just ridiculously traditional)?

Tone deaf, for sure. Evident how important the candidates think it is, as well, when you see them scrubbing their websites of their previous positions.

I hate that the Supreme Court has issued an awful decision in Dobbs, as do all the people I know. In the lemons/lemonade category, a spotlight is shining on the idea though, that reproductive freedom needs to be made an actual law, not an abstract concept subject to the whims of politics and political power and our…
