We've been, correctly, beating them up for not doing anything. Today they did something and they deserve credit. Nice job, Dems. More, please.

If Social Security is a Ponzi Scheme then so is late-stage capitalism. Bubbles being blown by the early profiteers that often are far enough from damage when it inevitably bursts. Again and again, we pay for the idea of money then act surprised when that's all we're left with.

This happens to me a lot, except I work at a toy store and they get paid for talking about politics.

always fun when you see people talking about a thing you know a lot about / report on for a living and how clear it is who’s done literally any reading and who is just mouthing off with more conviction / ego then facts

There is no one more obsessed with Trans people than transphobes. NO ONE. Not even other Trans people.

It looks like EM might be going on The Daily Show. His one condition: it has to be unedited. I don't believe it will happen, but I REALLY want to be wrong.

Yes! Exactly. BLM and MeToo are examples of what can happen when this other approach is embraced more, and an example of why legacy media was never going to get us there at all. This is also an opportunity, and always has been.

Moving to the right always works out great for Democrats, Clinton balanced the budget and ended welfare as we knew it and we all know how much the right LOVES him.

In an alternate universe, a movie script describing our current political reality goes unsold for being too broad and unbelievable.

I just want to make one thing clear: using trans people as ammo in the culture/class war is FUCKING BULLSHIT.

My wife has given me a Valentine's Day envelope addressed to "pudq'snH," which any true devotee of Star Trek will tell you is a Klingon term of endearment, meaning "The One I Will Kill Last," introduced in the classic Next Generation epis- What? (flips envelope 180 degrees) Ohhhhh riiiight got it

I hope people can start to get it. It’s the corrupt and power hungry against the rest of us. Leave behind the paradigms you’ve been fed your entire life. It boils down to a class war with a group of criminals on one side and the rest of us on the other.

We have a couple of generations well-practiced in the Tell but unable to Show. No practice in building organization, no concrete projects created, but endless commentary/opinions.

Everyone saying they aren't sure what's happening right now will eventually say, after everyone who sees exactly what's happening has been taken away, that nobody had any idea what was happening.

Democrats must start with the truth that, because the Republican Party is an insurrectionist organization that opposes humanity and reality, they are fundamentally illegitimate—that any position any Republican holds is held illegitimately, and proceed accordingly. www.the-reframe.com/the-moon-is-...

This is a great example of what I call "reverse dehumanization": these yuck-a-pucks look at people that they don't like doing the most relatable and human things and go "What's wrong with these people?".
