People at work are starting to ask me "what do we do?"

Things are getting bad to the point that ordinary people are not able to tune it out anymore, and the pundit class' answer of

is looking less and less compelling. Regular people are looking for explanations and guidance. Talk to them. They want to know what has worked in the past, and what can work now. They're open to new ways of understanding the world, and we have that. Be accessible if you can.

Voting is open for WrestleCrap's 2024 Gooker Award!

  • Adam Cole vs. MJF—The most tiresome, convoluted story line of the year (and the year before that). Technically, we’re not supposed to nominate it until it’s concluded, but we expect 2027 to have a pretty crowded field as it is.
  • Jimmy Uso vs. Jey Uso—After 3+ years of build, the brothers finally face off at WrestleMania… and totally stink up the joint. Cinema.
  • Crown Jewel titles—Belts so prestigious, the champions don’t even get to wear them!
  • The Elite take over, show the All In footage—The Young Bucks’ hostile takeover of AEW fizzled out completely, but not before relitigating their feud with the long-gone CM Punk. It seems the temptation of showing an AEW guy losing a fight to a WWE guy—wait, losing? And they still aired it? Anyway, the temptation proved too great to resist.
  • The Wyatt Sicks—The late Bray Wyatt’s puppets finally came to life. Their first order of business? Murder Chad Gable. (He was fine)
  • Mercedes Moné and Kamille—“Huge waste of Moné” is far too obviou

(2013) Op-ed: Democrats Throw Queers Under the Bus—Again

LGBT Americans are the Democrats' house Negroes. I'm sorry if that comparison offends anyone, but it's the most accurate societal comparison I can make. The Democrats let us come right up close and then remind us we are really just there to serve them with our votes and campaign contributions.

I'm not sure what it was about the immigration amendment vote that made me so angry -- it's not like being thrown under the political bus hasn't become a commonplace for LGBT Americans. Maybe it was because I know what those airport farewells are like. Or maybe it was just the cumulative effect of the Democrats screwing me and every other LGBT person in America over time and again. Or maybe it felt racist in addition to homophobic.

At present over 50,000 lesbian and gay couples would be impacted by the amendment being withdrawn. That's a lot of tears in a lot of airports around the world.

But immigration reform for LGBT people isn't just about lesbian and gay married couples. It's also

Attention New Users!

This is a liberal forum, we don’t allow extremists of any type including Cheeto loving MAGATS and Chinese supporting “Tankies.” Most people here believe the current systems are flawed but they can be changed. We advocate unequivocally for ranked choice voting and removing corporate donations in politics (to learn more listen to All Things Considered from last Wednesday).

I want to stress again that we don’t allow any sort of support for undemocratic and violent nations. Whether that’s China, Iran, Russia, Venezuela or Hamas we condemn them unequivocally.

I just wanted to make that clear so that no one is confused. 😀

Reminders:

  • Slava Ukraine! 🇺🇦
  • This is a joke, don’t be a liberal. We’re actually communists here.

Michael Moore Urges Kamala Harris to Break with the President on Gaza (cw libs)

Listen to how uncombative Mehdi is with Mr. Michigan. Compared to how he was with Stein and Ware. Treated them with hostility. But Moore is true

so friendly territory.

The Misogynistic, Bigoted and Crude Rally Remarks Trump Hasn’t Addressed

A Pivotal Choice: Trump vs. Harris on Climate Change | Kamala Harris calls global warming an “existential threat.” Donald Trump dismisses it as a “scam.”

cross-posted from: https://slrpnk.net/post/14668397

The Biden/Harris administration did a lot, starting with Harris casting the deciding vote for the Inflation Reduction Act., a key piece of climate legislation. We even saw major cuts to the leasing of federal lands for coal, as well as big cuts to oil and gas leasing

By contrast, Trump appointed a coal lobbyist to run the EPA and took steps to increase not just greenhouse gas emissions, but a wide variety of human-impacting pollutants, is surrounded by people who [want to eliminate any effort to address the climate problem](https://static.projec
