My creative writing degree (naysayers be damned; I have found it of worth) taught me sometimes, simplest is most effective, of merit, and truthful. So:

The Republican Party is a criminal conspiracy bent on fascist rule in America. If you still support ANY Republican, you are a fascist who fundamentally hates democracy and basic human rights. The things the Constitution is supposed to be based on.

This bill gets government out of their way to choose the path that is best for them

Woman looks like she was cast out of the MTG ‘pickled dipshit’ mold right down to the beady fuckin eyes.

Dickensian was always an unfair term. Dickens knew that there was nothing worse than the exploitation of children.

Finally!!  Can I get out of the greys now please!?!

The “No Cease Fire” chants will haunt me to my grave. I have been called a terrorist sympathizer, an antisemite, and a Hamas stodge for criticizing the occupation, for pointing out the undeniable injustice Palestinians have faced for decades, or even just saying “hey can the IDF please stop killing civilians?”

Very excited. As an older person that has loved this site, it has taught me things that were unfortunately normal for my Gen X self, shouldn’t be normal. So, I get where you are coming from with “What do I read now”.

Hopefully this gives Dr Bernard grounds for a lawsuit

Makes the fact that his first big act is to push for defunding the IRS that much more understandable.

I am flummoxed that the take here is that Johnson is somehow one of those “broke boys”, instead of some mixture of the evils of Republican loopholes (and competent exploitation thereof) and the torrent of improper disclosure (and other financial) scandals even Jez has been covering

DeWine started out very strong during the pandemic, following the science and the recommendations of his director of health, Dr. Amy Acton. But once the MAGA crazies started pitching a fit about masks and covid restrictions he shrank and basically spent the rest of the pandemic hiding and hoping they wouldn’t yell at…

Women of all generations are the ones who lead the fight for reproductive health against systemic misogyny - Boomer women fought for Roe and my peers and I benefited from and continued/collaborated with y’all in the never-ending battle for women to be seen as autonomous human beings. When comments focus on the…

He’s worse. He just wears a suit jacket.

If the DOJ had performed their sworn duty and arrested the treasonous insurrectionists leading the Republican Party, this wouldn’t have happened.

Likud hasn’t exactly done a lot to win them over, have they? You think cutting off their power, water, economy, and ability to travel endeared Israel to Gaza’s residents? When ‘settlers’ marched through Arab neighborhoods destroyed shops, when they tore out olive trees standing for generations, when they illegally buil…

Gaza is literally surrounded by walls, except for their coastline which is heavily policed and any boat straying out of the approved waters gets immediately fired upon by the IDF. There are only two active crossings, one controlled by Egypt, the other Israel. The people of Gaza cannot leave. Israel controls everything…

The hangover from WWII that continues to drag people into armed conflicts shows exactly how bloodthirsty some have become about the defense of Israel at the cost of innocent people in Gaza. Those who knew nothing of what was to happen and are now being told their lives and homes are at risk if they remain. Even when…

This is the same Israeli government that equates periodically slaughtering thousands of innocent Gazans to some moderate yardwork, right? Despicable.

Oh I think it’s very clear why they are doing this. Old Benji wants a genocide and the Israeli government can’t let all these high visibility celebrities influence their followers with things like reason and empathy. It unmuddies the water they’ve worked so hard to keep dirty. I can’t begin to tell you how many people…
