Such proud cruelty everywhere. Such proud division. Such proud prejudice. Such overwhelming greed. Hold onto your humanity. Tell the actual truth. Keep your faith. Breathe. Watch. Strive. Period.

It’s not enough for some to have everything they need. To have wealth. Nope. Their fulfillment seems also to depend on knowing that others don’t have what they need. “If everyone is content, what makes me special?” A mindset that continues to fuel unnecessary suffering.

Musk keeps talking. His fans keep cheering. And the planes keep crashing.

LITERALLY the antithesis of everything America has ever claimed to stand for as a country.

Musk is the embodiment of the existential danger of one individual having ungodly wealth.

Once upon a time, a country was founded by slaughtering Native Americans. Then it prospered by enslaving Black human beings. Then it pretended to have overcome these absolute sins. Then it decided to elect a birther racist who has now turned the country over to an apartheid Nazi.

We are all witnesses. Even those with their eyes closed.

Some Democrats think the party has gone too far left and needs to readjust towards the “center.” Rubbish. Where’s the center between democracy and oligarchy, and why would Democrats want to be there?

Why is no world leader or government stopping this? 🤬

This is why the Democrats LOSE.

It’s amazing what not watching MSNBC and CNN will do for your health. I haven’t watched either in about a year.

Begging for the party to actually go left

Breaking a ceasefire OVER 100 TIMES IN THREE DAYS really speaks to how desperate Netanyahu is to remain in as many wars as possible, because he knows full well he’ll be kicked out of office the moment there’s a modicum of peace.

Stop criticizing the people who are calling out the genocide in Gaza and start criticizing the people who are committing the genocide in Gaza.

They’re nauseating and shameless to the point where I just don’t even think I can deal with it anymore. Liberal echo chamber hell.

Amen

It is a major problem that the Trump coalition is solidified, while Democrats in power seem stupidly committed to building an opposition composed of liberals and Never-Trumper neocons—a coalition the left is rightly repulsed by and one that just lost the House, Senate, and WH.

We live in a country where the previous president got away with trying to overthrow the election in broad daylight, and where the current president who let him get away with it has been facilitating a genocide in Gaza for over a year with a war criminal wanted by The Hague.

Listen. People need to wake up and see that there is a concentrated effort to discredit anyone questioning the liberal veer to the Right and the orthodoxy of abandoning gay/trans/Gazans/people of color/women/the poor in pursuit of a MAGA-like Democratic Party. We’re in the shit. See it. Act on it.

The idea that "incumbents everywhere are losing" is just ... not true. It's not just Mexico: in Taiwan, Greece, Croatia, and others, incumbents were re-elected or increased their vote share. Pushing the idea that it was inevitable only serves to shield the party and campaign from justifiable blame.

Biden should’ve announced early last year that he was not going to seek re-election. And they should’ve had a normal primary like adults. With actual left candidates involved. All major issues debated. That would have benefited the party. And the country.

Not having the instant ability to stop our Congress and White House from relentlessly committing genocide with Netanyahu bludgeons and wounds the soul in such a permanent way. Stay connected, decent souls that are left.

Axelrod is a perfect example. And… I’ve never seen so many people responsible for losing the election sit around and talk to each other about how to win an election.

How do we overcome this mammoth grift? They learned zero from this massive loss that they literally helped usher in. And yet the liberal sheep keep indulging them. Feeding the beast that’s killing you like fools. It’s truly a problem. Trump and his type will never lose to these folks.

When men like this are telling me to go back to Twitter, that's how I know I'm touching on all the right topics

People are like "there are no right wingers on blue sky" and i don't get it there are plenty of liberals on here

Can you do me a favor? Can you stab me in my eyeball?

This is 100% not the way and will not work.

“U.S. billionaire wealth is now at an all-time high of $6.7 trillion—a fact that hasn't deterred Republican lawmakers from pursuing additional tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans” The oligarchy will expand and wealth inequality will solidify under Trump. www.commondreams.org/news/billion...
