I’m a train wreck, but like 25 people think I’m funny, and isn’t that all that matters? Immune compromised wife, mother, and coffee addict. Swears a lot. Socially awkward. PNW for life.

Just talked about this with a friend today: people on the left, from just left of center all the way across, are terrible at ACTUALLY getting involved in very real ways. They don’t volunteer. They don’t run for office. They don’t seek positions on boards. They just protest and post online.

Just the HHS secretary expressing eugenic sentiments, nbd.

Stop assuming everything has an easy solution. The vast majority of everything is not solved by the seemingly most obvious solution, particularly when it comes to government and education funding.

An excellent reminder from my kid’s school.

I have seen this over and over again: conservatives pretending claiming previous Democratic leadership also attempted to dismantle our government, and acting like right wing unrest and left wing unrest are the same. They make false equivalences cannot bear to face the music and take responsibility

Republicans can stop this at any time. They could’ve stopped this a number of times along the way. Stop yelling at the people you chose to keep out of power.

See, that's the funny thing. It's hilarious, actually. ALLLL these different and various groups think Affirmative Action, DEI, Diversity, etc is JUST for Black People Who Don't Deserve Things. They NEVER think THEY are included in those programs. Its why when those programs cut them, they be like

Oh my god how is not embarassed by himself? This is so fucking cringey and silly and childish, he literally looks like a 7 year old.

‘These are the heirs of the Greatest Generation, and they turned out to be the worst generation,’ says Stuart Steven.”

Gang, at this point I’m too disillusioned to expect all of you to mask always (even though you should), but for the love of GOD, please at least mask at airports and on planes when you travel to events!!!

Black people understand, that's why we aren't here for any of them and why they want to remove us as the "base":

It’s justified. They WERE betrayed by white women who ultimately voted for Trump, by everyone who engaged in Democratic voter suppression, by everyone who couldn’t be bothered to vote.

“Refusing vaccines is withdrawing from the community health bank without depositing anything back into it”. I had the opportunity to speak about the harm caused by vaccine refusal to kids and adults who are immunosuppressed. The parents who are interviewed here bring that message home.

Let me stop you before you go off half cocked again, Do Somethings. Democrats could not have stopped this confirmation. We don't have the numbers. If you are mad & rightly so, it's republicans that are to blame. Light up their phones, protest their homes. No sleep & no peace

Hundo p.

Millennials will now have experienced this phenomenon 3 times in their lives.

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

Wondering if Mike Pence might just lead the Republican resistance to Trump was not on my bingo card, but here we are. If this fucking guy can find his spine and some fortitude, perhaps more of his ilk will follow suit—and frankly, we SHOULD be hoping to see more of this.

I was told Trump would be, at best, no worse than Biden or Harris.

White people sabotage a fair and just country over and over and over and over and over and over and over again, then whine and yell and panic when their voting patterns result in a fucking coup. WE ARE THE PROBLEM. You need to de-white supremacy *yourself* if you want any change.

Leopards, faces, etc. I continue to feel nothing for the people negatively impacted by their own vote, and empathy + love for those suffering as a result of their neighbor’s/parent’s vote. The real victims in all this are everyone who didn’t have a choice, and everyone who did the right thing.

white nationalist men are too emotional to be in charge

If white people wanted to end racism, they would. Simple as that.

Is there anything we can do to speed up the meteor

if you haven't heard the EDM remix of this VERY catchy song, I really would recommend it, it really is the soundtrack to the apocalypse I never knew I needed: www.youtube.com/shorts/sLn8G...

This is my “daughter of a Black Panther breakfast program volunteer” coming out but anyone who tells you that you have to be public about all your resistance activity should immediately be under suspicion for being an op, or being under the influence of an op

democrats won’t admit it, but my family’s economic outlook has gotten a LOT better since Trump took office. but what do i know? i don’t have a fancy economics degree, i’m just a regular guy who runs an airplane scrapyard

EXACTLY! This is the MAIN difference btwn the CRM and these self-aggrandizing campaigns for attention. They are NOT the same nor should they EVER be compared. Happy - BLACK PEOPLE ARE thee ORIGINAL PROGRESSIVES - month! CRM to the "DEMS NEED TO DO SOMETHING PERFORMATIVE" pleas of the faux-left:

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”. This is a manifesto against disability. This is the language of eugenics.

The fash are pretty openly laying the groundwork to murder disabled people so now isn't the time to get your panties in a twist about calling it what it is.

God, fuckin' *this*. Dems did the most progressive economic policy since FDR and they couldn't even run on "we came out of COVID the strongest of any country and even started tackling income inequality". Every time they did, progressives *and* right-wingers freaked out and called them liars.

Really wild how people continue to act like RFK Jr.’s problem is his remote history of heroin addiction in sustained recovery and not the fact that he’s a sociopathic, science denying, con artist, who wants kids to die so he can make a buck, which has nothing to do with him using heroin decades ago.

This is a program for teenagers with serious disabilities who are finishing high school and transitioning to their next steps in life. Trump just axed it, effective immediately, in the middle of the night, with no notice.
