I cannot believe we’re about to pretend that the biggest midterm victory since the Great Depression and the fact that the whole Democratic Party started speaking like Bernie Sanders and Mamdani are unrelated

Chewy fired one of their directors for being gay and only settled his lawsuit when it came out that the CEOs emails were going to have to be released.
We do not sponsor or support the “I’ve Had It” podcast. We unequivocally condemn violence in all forms. The comments made by the hosts do not reflect Chewy’s values or what we stand for as a company.

El-Sayed: "People don't trust our party because too often we're funded by the very same people who fund Republicans... Can we actually cut the cord that we've had to corporate money and start governing like we give a damn about working people?"

The first time hearing your friend on a work call is hilarious. Because what are you talking about? Who is that? Are there people who actually listen to you when you’re speaking like this? Are you important?

Abdul El-Sayed: “We are being actively bullied by the dumbest people in the room. Donald Trump is an idiot. He has one genius which is getting attention. Because his dad never gave him enough, because he was a nepo baby, he craved attention and used the bullying tactics to get it. But the man is an idiot. Just a fool”

If a Somali commits a crime in Minnesota he’s Somali but if he saves 20 kids on a runaway school bus he’s a Minnesota Man

You're a clown if you vote for someone saying "Minnesota is not a good place" Pure and simple.

That’s about 20 Epstein whistleblowers who have now ‘died by suicide’. Absolutely nothing suspicious about that at all…
Former British banker and whistleblower Simon Andriesz, 57, has died by suicide. Andriesz had exposed U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s past links to Jeffrey Epstein, including evidence of a 2018 email exchange about a start-up business. Source: The Banker

one of the hardest things about living with sexual trauma is being re-traumatized every time there’s a heavily publicized case in the news. watching people litigate and demonize other victims. makes you wonder what the point of any of it is, if it’s even worth speaking up at all.

30-90% of victims of sexual assault do not immediately identify it as rape. This is due to partner dynamics (typically someone the victim trusts), coercion, manipulation, trauma, dissociation, shame, and self-blame. Stop ignoring the effects and aftermath of rape.

Some men are obsessed with a narrative that women turn normal sexual encounters into SA in their minds due to regret. In reality all trauma is only understood retrospectively. Something new and terrible happens to you and it affects your world before you have language for it – at Jersey City, NJ
It’s crazy bc for years you’ll be like “ohhh no that was just a bad hookup when I was 19” and then it finally clicks years later and then you move on but every few years something Happens and you witness tons more women grapple with the same realization and it never ends

Husband: “the Packers are so bad dude 🙁” Me: “that’s why I’ve never rooted for them” H: “they’re going to be the worst team in the league this year ☹️” M: “god I hope so” Thinking he’d get sympathy… PLEASE
If there's any NFL team and fanbase that needs to experience the darkness of a bad football team for once its the Packers.

By a 1 vote margin, Republicans voted to continue the Iran war that had spiked your gas prices to $5 a gallon and caused inflation to soar. Remember this when you vote in November.
U.S. Senate BLOCKS War Powers Resolution to Stop Military Action Against Iran, 49-50.
