To be abundantly clear, I am voting for President Joe Biden. He is the only choice. Crap night be damned.

If Bill Clinton raped girls on Epstein’s island, he should rot in prison for the rest of his life.

If Donald Trump raped girls on Epstein’s island, he should rot in prison for the rest of his life.

That wasn’t so difficult, was it?

There a ton of rich old guys who were totally relieved when Epstein 'killed himself' - even if they werent directly involved in his 'suicide'.

I dont really subscribe to conspiracy generally, but even if he actually did it himself, how was it allowed to happen?

When Trump openly and repeatedly exclaims that migrants are “poisoning the blood of our country,” or shares a video calling for a “unified Reich,” he is literally echoing the language of Hitler.

Trump is not a “populist.” He’s not a “strongman.” He is a fascist.

Use the word.

And thank you for playing “Republicans Eating Their Own”

Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.):

“She is a horrible leader,” Tillis said of Marj Q Greene. “She is dragging our brand down. She — not the Democrats — are the biggest risk to us getting back to a majority…is “uninformed” and “a total waste of time”

While Washington should be working quickly to secure the aid to Ukraine, Mike Johnson has more important things to do: Accusing Joe Biden of “betraying Easter”, because International Transgender Day of Visibility falls on March 31st this year — like it has done every year since 2009.

Because Joe Biden is capable of being President for both Christians and the transgender community, that is somehow supposed to be offensive to Christianity.

What an absolutely sick perspective on religion.

Chess Grandmaster Anna Muzychuk refuses to play in Saudi Arabia and says: "In a few days, I will lose two world titles, back to back." Because I decided not to go to Saudi Arabia. I refuse to play by special rules, to wear abaya, to be accompanied by a man so I can leave the hotel, so I don't feel like a second class person.

Today in Labor History March 8, 1857: Women garment workers picketed in New York City, demanding a 10-hour workday, better working conditions, and equal rights for women. In 1910, German socialist Clara Zetkin proposed to the Second International, that March 8 be celebrated as International Women’s Day to commemorate this strike.

I feel like the abusive mode of software business models is so embedded at this point that we have a generation of designers who don't actually know how to prioritize user utility — which was already complicated for folks to understand even before the enshittification started.

Hunter Walker writes,

"North Carolina’s Lt. Governor is a Facebook brawler whose posts railed against gays, Blacks, and Jews."

And as Josh Marshall notes,

"Folks, North Carolina Republicans just chose this whack-job as their nominee for governor."

Speaker Mike, who claims to be pro-Life, says some 1000s of Ukrainians will have to die before he'll send help. Trump has issued his demands!

Not QUITE a violation of 6th Commandment, but certainly violation of spirit of "God wants us to protect human life."

Pres. Biden will bring congressional leaders to the WH on Tue to try & break impasse over new aid to Ukraine.

@GottaLaff

And it should be noted that when we say "give $60B" we mean giving them $60B (mostly) in weapons and supplies - not cash. This is stuff we were eventually going to discard or replace anyway. It means US weapons companies get paid $60B to make new stuff to replace it.

And of course helps a defeat

Highly influential heritage foundation, which would help staff & direct a future Trump admin, literally said that a key conserv policy goal is “ending recreational sex.” they said it, not me. IMO we should take them both seriously & literally

Rhetorical question:

Why are and in general, so obsessed with sex and what other people do with the most private aspects of their lives?

Personal opinion:
has no place in public policy and civil society.
