This is how I’ll tell my kid abt that one mutual
The fact that Uncle Ercole exists in the Soprano family history adds a whole different layer to Tony’s obsession with family.
Tony spends so much time measuring people by strength, status, and intelligence that Ercole’s story exposes an uncomfortable side of him. When Tony talks about his uncle, there’s affection in the way he remembers him, but there’s also the cruelty of a family that struggles to treat someone different with dignity.
That’s one of the things The Sopranos does brilliantly. The characters talk constantly about family loyalty, tradition, and respect, yet those values often disappear when someone doesn’t fit their idea of what a person should be.
Tony can feel genuine love and still participate in the same judgment he claims to dislike.
A family’s character isn’t revealed by how it treats its strongest members. It’s revealed by how it treats the person who can’t offer it anything in return.

“Democrats NEED Joe Manchins!”
No, they don’t. He spent four years either watering down or outright blocking Joe Biden’s agenda, took every national media appearance he could get to say “Republicans are right, my party is crazy!”, and then quit without running for re-election.
There’s are mutuals I don’t talk to very much but they’re some of the funniest people I’ve ever seen and I hope they know that
Going on a tirade on a live stream because two college students called you corny. Thank god he didn’t react too badly or else he might’ve proved their point!
Instagram is great. No other app allows me to log on and send my dear friends unfiltered bullshit with such ease
Realizing maybe I am bisexual because no straight man would be considering dropping 200 at the salon as heavily as I am rn

Usually I’m a party line guy but I’m willing to have a Republican beat that loser in Iowa who wants to do a Hyde amendment for transgenders

Many red state Democrats have successfully navigated this by telling people that we shouldn’t be focusing on such a small issue and that everyone is deserving of kindness.
I don’t want to hear about how open transphobia and calling trans women “men” is how you win elections.

AdImpact: Josh Turek releases new ad in which he opposes trans women competing in women’s sports
“No Iowan should face discrimination. As a Paralympian, I also know it's important to have rules.”
“It's why I oppose males competing in female sports ... I'm against taxpayers paying for sex changes, too.”
The Great Pumpkin retweeted
Stop understating this. A trans Hyde Amendment is less like denouncing gay marriage in 2006 and more like denouncing antiretroviral therapy for HIV patients in 2006.
The Great Pumpkin retweeted
If this was 2006 Josh Turek would be taking about defending traditional marriage. If this was 1956 Josh Turek would be talking about keeping white and black kids to their own spaces. He would be just as spineless in any era, it’s how he is. Nobody’s free until everybody’s free

- didn't come across like a nursing home patient when he debated flavio twice
- had jair arrested and convicted to 27 years in prison for insurrection instead of dicking around with merrick garland
- called Israel's assault on gaza "genocide" instead of sending 14000 2k lbs bombs
