Democrats win when they move left not when they decide to be Republican-lite.

Replace it with Uncle Nearest, especially if you prefer Tennessee whiskeys. You won't ever look back, trust me.

Love how he’s hiding Gender Queer and Maus under there because the people he’s courting now would be big mad he’s totally reading everything on that pile for realzies, but they’re there in an pathetic attempt to pitifully reach out to the people he’s abandoning. Fuck him.

CNN reporting that Senate Democrats are “disappointed” in House members for violating “decorum” at Trump’s speech last night. Just utterly clueless. And worth remembering next time those senators wax reverently about John Lewis.

Whoever is giving them this advice needs to be loaded into a trebuchet and launched into the woods.

I understand that part of this is simply being stuck in an old and broken way of doing politics. I also think we should consider the fact that at least some of these leaders are actually well aware of the dangers of standing up to a fascist and are cowards.

Primary Every Democrat

And to be so very clear, JKR has openly stated that the money she makes from Harry Potter (in all its forms, right now) goes directly to conservative and specifically anti-trans causes. Do not financially engage with Harry Potter. Don't even engage with it for free. It's a Faustian IP, do not.

Best thing to wake up to

I support and am happy the party came together to stop this. However, this is what they should be doing on EVERYTHING. I’ve said it before and I’ll keep saying it - we are in an existential crisis as a country. We’re either going to emerge as Americans, or as something else.

::stares into the camera::

I've said it before and will say it again -- the Trump administration is not acting like one that fears democratic accountability next year or in 2028. Draw your own conclusions.

this is the way

I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!

FLOOD THEM

Let’s go www.yahoo.com/news/no-amaz...

Instead of Geralt, Agloval should have called this week's guests! David J. Peterson (@dedalvs.bsky.social) and Jessie Peterson (@quothalinguist.bsky.social) created the languages you hear spoken in The Witcher, and they join us to discuss the musical language of Sirens's merpeople in our latest ep!

They all have offices in their districts. Go there and ask why your elected representative is hiding from you.

Hakeem Jeffries is very smart because he always says “extreme MAGA Republicans” to make sure voters differentiate between the Crazy ones and the good reasonable ones who vote exactly the same way as the Crazy ones.

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote. There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

Since The Witcher still won't post over here I'm showing you what you are missing on insta

The Democrats to yell at: Bennet (CO) Blumenthal (CT) Cortez Masto (NV) Durbin (IL) Fetterman (PA) Gallego (AZ) Hassan (NH) Heinrich (NM) Hickenlooper (CO) Kelly (AZ) Klobuchar (MN) Peters (MI) Reed (RI) Rosen (NV) Shaheen (NH) Warner (VA)

Everything is kinda garbage, but this weekend I had some friends over for a Witcher themed dinner before watching the new movie, Sirens of the Deep. A lovely evening, and I’m really happy with how everything turned out!

If you're a white dude with some flexibility in your life, get a group of your like-minded bros together & go to these events to act as counterbalance to these "private security forces." Get in their way. Occupy space. Ask for their IDs. Outnumber them. Make their fascism difficult.

Every time I see someone use AI images to dunk on Trump or Elon

you know this is sincere animosity because egging something is a significant expense these days

Once again: it's because his goal is to subsidize the oil industry and is hostile to markets. He will always put energy producers over energy consumers. He hates you.

🚨🚨If you use kindle, Download your books before Amazon removes the ability next week. That is your money you spent and those are your books. 🚨🚨

Well, that's a ruling. Get out there and do it.

Really good piece. Other Democrats in power need to look at what AOC is doing right now and follow her example. One of the worst and most frightening aspects of this moment is seeing how many Dems in leadership roles seem resigned to defeat.

It’s worth considering, too, that historically, the left has done a ton of galvanizing the base through the arts. Artists, writers, filmmakers, performers, dancers, and so forth having fewer pathways to a sustainable living eliminates Sinclair’s The Jungle and the Resistance scene in Casablanca.

Being a man doesn’t equal treating women like trash.

Black and white college students went to MISSISSIPPI in 1964 to register people to vote. They got shot at, bombed, beaten and killed. These pampered fucks need to take accountability and act.

I absolutely want @democrats.org to politicize the hell out of every one of these tragedies. President Plane Crash does not care about dead Americans. Force him to own every horror during his time in office.

Washington Post is reporting that the US Gov't program to send free COVID tests to households will be shut down tonight, and the remaining tests destroyed. If you haven't already ordered yours in the latest batch (autumn 2024's) it's super quick & easy, price $0.00 covidtests.gov

They screwed this all up.

Dinner! Duck and sweet potatoes!

This is something!
