When people say the left has an antisemitism problem this isn't some gotcha. The left also has problems with anti-Black racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, xenophobia, and a myriad of other bigotries.

Moreover none of these issues are new. Some of them have been around since the beginning. But we can't fix any of this shit if we remain in denial or act like it's a problem our opponents made up.

Our opponents know about these problems and already exploit and exacerbate them to divide us against ourselves.

@oldredsubby The ‘Devil is my Jesus’, the Trump World reality where evil becomes holy… “another round of Koolaid post haste”! The question is why don’t we see mainstream Christianity calling this out? No, not any kind of Beacon of Light here. Quivering in their corners or co-conspirators. 🤔

Everyone is telling the Democrats what they did wrong and how to win next time, but nobody is telling the winning Republicans how to govern impartially and with respect for all of us. #GOP #GOPWins #democrats

If you think vaccines are "not good for anyone," what 'till you find out how absolutely not good an unvaccinated population is for EVERYONE.

Also, unless you can show me your credentials as an actual legitimate scientist actually working in a real field relevant to this discussion, keep the word "research" the fuck outta your mouth.

@TCatInReality @talia_christine And retire the phrase “This isn’t who we are.” Yes it is. It’s exactly who we are.

Ah yes, Democrats chose to lose the presidency, the senate, and the house, but this one district in California that effects literally nothing for control of anything is where they are choosing to steal the vote.

It’s embarrassing.

Republicans are so used to shouting about conspiracy theories that even when an election goes their way, they scramble to find something to feel like a martyr about.

I’m begging Democrats to remove the word “bipartisan” from their vocabularies. Stop giving Republicans credit for stuff you did when the majority of them were trying to block it. Stop giving voters reasons to think Republicans believe in good governance. Stop treating bipartisanship as a goal.

Bela Karolyi, the charismatic if polarizing gymnastics coach who turned young women into champions and the United States into an international power in the sport, has died. He was 82.

Far more crime and child abuse has been committed by zealots in the name of God, #Jesus, and #Muhammad than in the name of #Satan.

Here’s the conversation I had at Web Summit with Future of Life Institute President Max Tegmark. Among other things, we discussed the real possibility that Donald Trump will be president when AGI is achieved. fastcompany.com/91228731/max-t

@oldredsubby "All of us have sinned..."

Yeah, but not all of us gloat over our sins publicly & exultantly; and not all of us have won a US Presidential campaign on the strength of our promises to keep repeating those sins on as massive a scale as possible.

2/ “Hegseth’s attorney, Timothy Parlatore, said Hegseth was “visibly intoxicated” at the time of the incident, and maintained that police who were contacted a few days after the encounter by the woman concluded “the Complainant had been the aggressor in the encounter.” Police have not confirmed that assertion.
Hegseth agreed to pay an undisclosed amount to the woman because he feared that revelation of the matter “would result in his immediate termination from Fox,” where he works as a host..”

Well, if the Law won't slow the Evil Trumpists down, maybe Polio will.
