A group of Proud Boys harassed a bunch of people gathered at a public library in San Lorenzo, CA for a Drag Queen Story Hour.

In the latter case, local antifascists defended the event from the chuds, and after police arrived and separated them, one of the fascists was overheard saying something to the effect of "shoot them in the head, that's what the badge is for" in reference to the LGBTQ people in attendance.

There is a through-line from Q-Anon and its fixation on a global cabal of pedophiles to the right's new obsession with trans kids and "don't say gay" bills to violent homophobia, and it's now a plank of the Republican Party. There is some dark and evil poo poo coming down the pike when these people regain the legislature in November, which in all likelihood they will.

Being privy to the DC Mayor ads, but having no dog in that race since I live in VA, one of them [gripes] at Muriel Bowser for "giving money to her contractor friends" and having experienced every DC Mayor since Barry to Bowser he honestly would've gotten honesty points for saying "I think it's time for *my* contractor friends to get that money."

Besides, being Mayor of DC really means just being beholden to Congress for practically everything - graft and corruption are the only perks.

I'm a fan of Darknet Diaries but dang while the host has always been crypto friendly he's been leaning into that too much without any hint of skepticism. I understand crypto payments are an essential part of many of the great episodes that revolve around ransomware and illicit marketplaces and that's no problem, but when he's talking about the excitement of NFT drops or the wonders of collective mining efforts it's a bit annoying. Has also been oddly too friendly and deferential towards some recent guests, like the guy who was nonstop extorting money from any company he could get a hold of, and the host seemed upset that he should face any jail time.

More eps about intrigue around the Puerto Rico lottery or breaking the story about Pegasus before major news sites please.

What would you have us do? Sit by while Russia continues to occupy former Soviet states by force? I'm asking you genuinely, because unlike most Proxy Wars, Soviet aggression in Europe threatens US security, and NATO.

FYI its possible to hold opinions about different things, IE being OK with the USA offering assistance to Ukraine against an aggressive imperialist Russia, being pissed that our government can spend 40 billion on war but not on its own people, being pissed that years or even decades down the line this is going to make things really bad in the region. also don't loving ask me what i should do, because i don't loving know.

also LOL amongst all the anti-intervention opinion on the American left, the DSA one is the most milquetoast of them all. Also made 4 months ago, but whatever.

Yes it is. There are about a million ways to insult someone without belittling gender.

He is not saying "one of those bitches (descriptor)" he is saying "one of those people is bitching(complaining)". I guess you can argue it's derived from a gendered insult but it seems like kind of a stretch to say he's calling them bitches.
