Biden won as the centrist option in the primary, then governed by making huge concessions to the progressive left: on climate, FTC, labor, LGBT issues, student loans and more.
Progressives ignored or trashed most of those decisions, prioritized Gaza over any other issue (knowing Trump would be worse), and have now focused all their energy on inexperienced DSA primary challengers in safe districts.
This is the reality of the last 3 years of Democratic politics.
Didn't want Kamala in office because of what Netanyahu was doing to Palestinians? Congratulations. You reward is that the U.S. military is now a part of the Israeli military.
Fucking dipshits. I hate yall

I quit my corporate job in March to focus full time on Houston real estate but I am struggling to gain clientele. If you can connect me to your friends & family buying in the Houston market (Harris, Fort Bend, Montgomery County), thank you for supporting my brand and business.
I’ve worked on #LoveIsland UK since Series 5, producing Series 5-10, before moving on to Love Island USA and Love Island Australia. I’m incredibly proud to have been part of a show that has become embedded in British culture. The twists, drama, and unforgettable cast members have created some of the best reality television of the last decade.
But if we’re being honest, one issue has persisted for years: casting.
Time and time again, Love Island UK has failed to truly reflect the diversity of modern Britain. Representation matters, and no group has been more consistently let down than Black women. Ironically, Black women have been some of the show’s most loyal supporters, driving conversations online, creating viral moments, and helping keep the show culturally relevant.
Yet year after year, we continue to cast Black women alongside men who openly or implicitly don’t date Black women. The result is a cycle that viewers have watched repeatedly: rejection, exclusion, and disappointment. For young Black girls watching at home, that’s a damaging message. For audiences generally, it’s become predictable and exhausting.
When I left after Series 10, things were improving. Contestants like Tyrique, Ella, Catherine, Whitney & previous series with Dami, Indiyah, Kai, Sanam, Kaz, Samira, Yewande and others helped create some of the show’s most memorable storylines.
However, working on Love Island USA showed me how powerful genuine representation can be. Seeing contestants from different racial, cultural and ethnic backgrounds authentically connect created richer stories, stronger characters, and ultimately a bigger audience.
My role on Love Island was in edit producing, not casting despite my vast experience in casting on other shows I raised concerns about casting throughout my time on the show.
If Love Island UK wants to reverse its ratings decline, it needs to listen to viewers. Audiences are asking for fresher casting, more authentic representation, and a creative reset. If those changes don’t happen, I genuinely worry about the long-term future of a show that so many of us care deeply about.
For the culture.

Here's Hasan saying that if Trump hadn't been the one doing it, he probably would have supported the cuts to USAID (which was saving hundreds of thousands from starvation).
Meanwhile, Hasan's fight against starvation was having a party in Havana and throwing cookies at children.
I’m uncommitted to standing with podcaster Hasan Piker.
He has to do more than be the lesser of two evils against Trump if he wants to *earn* my support. 🤷🏾♂️
The same people who didn't want to vote for Kamala Harris because they disagreed with her on some policies believe open alliances with MTG is the way to go because they apparently agree with her on one issue.
He was mentally and physically unfit in 2024. Still, white folks on the right and Latino men didn't want a black woman president, and white folks on the far left and their tokens traded American democracy for a foreign conflict.
