@katpick.bsky.social , what is this scam? I’m in Ohio and haven’t heard of this.

IMHO this is the key story. Trump wants vengeance. But he has a short attention span. He’ll turn the wheel of ruling over to Vance, or his cabinet will 25th Amendment him.

This. Punditry as sport nauseates me. I am a Black lesbian caring for elders in Ohio. What’s intellectual debate for some is survival for me. I’m doing get out the vote letters. I’ve checked that every family member is registered and has a voting plan. Because I have skin in this game.

How the hell are we talking about anything besides readying to help these communities? The mountain cities of TN and NC are under water. No cell. No roads. No rescue. No hospitals. Houses on fire. Mudslides. Bridges collapsed. Many dead.

Manhattan now. A crowd of some thousands marched into midtown, made it past police who arrested dozens, and are gathered outside the Lowes Regency Hotel where Netanyahu is staying overnight before his speech at the UN General Assembly tomorrow. Dalbon is an indy videographer. x.com/GerardDalbon...

Seeking advice: a long-time friend is turning into an online troll. I don’t want to discard a decades-long friendship but I’m not sure how to stay connected. COVID isolation and chronic illness seem to have broken her. Now she spouts weird conservative (for her) positions to get a response. Advice?

Welcome, Mat

Thank you!

I don’t think this is about anything queer. I think we’re seeing Biden step into a campaign to differentiate Trumpsters from Republicans. I read his message as “this is a three-party race” and gesturing towards a Dem/Repub coalition to preserve democracy vs Trump’s autocracy.

JD Vance’s signature achievement as Trump’s running mate so far is whipping up a pogrom against his own constituents
