Election denial but woke is still election denial!

optimistic about what’s next

Democrat's biggest problem is lying about why they believe what they believe. Stop doing it. It makes you look like charlatans.

The whole Trump media approach is “all news is good news”, which is uhhh a principle I do not think extends to people’s fears about price hikes

it's going to be a long, long four years of watching potential 2028 candidates blow themselves up by being stupid or incapable of meeting the moment. We cannot settle for this politics. We have to fight for something better, more authentic, and more representative of where the base is at.

if this holds, it will be like the effect of 9/11 on plane hijackings. as soon as passengers learned that there was a chance of hijacker wanting everyone to die, they stopped wanting to cooperate as they did in the past

I am going to become the Joker

Trump was elected to a second term after being charged with multiple felonies, why are the Democrats still decorum humpers???

Keep representative Green, Primary the rest of them.

Rep. Zooey Zephyr - My Wife - just gave an incredible speech against a drag ban in Montana. It was so strong that a Republican rose to speak passionately against the bill, chastising the sponsor. The drag ban dies in Montana, flips 10+ Republican votes! This is the power of representation.

BREAKING: The University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University has reneged on their commitment to host the @sciencewriters.org annual conference and withdrew their entire financial support. The National Association of Science Writers is now looking for a new venue, sponsors, and partners.

This will be resistlibs in 2026

More open borders and freer trade make us wealthy and free, no matter who is in power and who is not.

Democracy is sailing out into stormy waters from a protected bay. The future holds much larger threats than Trump, he is an ineffective and nonstrategic anti-democratic force compared to the threats we will deal with in the future. Now is the time to practice our skills and reform our ranks.

No, they wouldn't.

America: a country of champagne socialists and liberals who do nothing but vote for conservatives. Hey, beats being European!

REMINDER: Health insurance industry profit margins are at clost to an all-time low of 3.3% Administrative costs overall are sitting at 11% 86% of Healthcare industry revenues are paying out claims

I think trans issues are to an extent being set up to take the fall for Democrats’ struggles when it seems like questionable judgment elsewhere (notably climate & immigration) was a much bigger deal. www.slowboring.com/p/another-po...

Healthcare is expensive! Medical technology keeps getting better (and more expensive in terms of labor) over time! This is a completely unsustainable expectation. We have not conquered death.

Murder is wrong, actually!

Syrians face a choice today that more and more of us will have to face in the coming decade: can we put aside very real grievances we have with flawed organizations and dangerous ideologies to fight for a better future, together?

Fight atomization. Ask your neighbors you've never talked to to bake together. Talk about specific issues you see in your personal community with people across the political spectrum. Stand up for your beliefs even when they are unpopular.
