Honestly, this is a not inconsiderable reason people don't like Dems/libs. It's impossible to respect anyone that is this cringingly servile.
I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable
Produce the bodies, be they alive or dead.
The United States is the only place on earth where poor people shun unions, free healthcare, and free education because the rich tell them to.
Helen Keller was a committed socialist â same thing
dear universe, if you are going to kill off multiple Big Bads at once, and by all means go for it, remember basic mixtape structure. don't go too hard all at once. let each track breathe and then keep the energy growing. you get one shot. do it right, and she'll definitely fuck you after prom.

It is a sign of basic maturity to stop revering politicians.
how do i explain to my kids two women being married?? how explain sun go away at night but come back next day? how explain magic rectangle show people talk??? HOW
And 400 times easier to get around without a car.
happy labor day
Itâs a little weird to demand people vote for a candidate as a necessary lesser evil three years before you even know if theyâre going to be the candidate
Much like "crab", industrial music is constantly re-evolving from first principles basically anywhere where there's a bunch of metal and plastic laying about
Thereâs no world in which you can explain this based on merit. There just isnât.
Nooooo
She was warning us about her husband and his friends, and everyone who looked up to them.
Actually, Frankenstein is a doctor success at the Venice film festival
this is why I pay for photoshop
đ„đ„Sevastopol. Reports of aviation fuel depots on fire. I canât help but imagine the panic among those who thought occupation was âsafe.â Every explosion there feels like a reminder: stolen land will never bring peace.
No candidate willing to sacrifice trans folks to win deserves a single vote. No candidate willing to sacrifice migrant peoples to win deserves a single vote. No candidate willing to sacrifice Indigenous folks to win deserves a single vote. Warrior up, people. You CAN build a better world.
Goodness, if the President has a serious health problem I certainly hope he follows the expert medical advice of his Secretary of Health and Human Services
He was my dadâs age!
my father-in-law is a âI know a guyâ Guy. sadly all the old Guys are aging out of the Guy Economy. Guys are fundamentally incompatible with Hustle Culture because itâs not about âwinningâ a deal, itâs about collecting favors and goodwill in a mutually-beneficial cycle. protect your local Guy Economy
Dear Americans, welcome to the thrilling game of âDid this dictator die or just disappear for a day?â Weâve been playing it with Putin and Lukashenko for decades. Enjoy the suspense.
Many of these people think they are fighting racism WHILE giving consent to white power. You canât fight fascism while making concessions that sacrifice minorities. Period.
I donât think Iâve seen Pascal mentioned since 1985.
This is literally what a sleep study is like. After mine they told me there was no useful data because I just couldnât sleep.
Youth pastor voice: you know who else everyone thought was dead for three days
if we lie enough times that he's dead the new york times has to do a 3 month long barrage of stories over whether or not he's dead
and that's exactly why they keep fielding dogshit candidates who lose because people like you promise them your vote no matter what they do or say. your vote is the only leverage you have. don't give it to them for free. ask better of the candidate, don't scold people for wanting better.
god. damn.
my wife left me after i sat on my gun weird and blew my entire dick and balls off at c-word barrel
The Book of Joshua is the founding document of modern Western civilization. Discuss.
I love our town fair day, but there's always one violent idiot who has to ruin it for everyone, trundling around making threats.
re: last repost: Sacred Harp/shape note singing hits SO good right now I was at a community singing a week ago and we about blew the windows out itâs religious music in origin but itâs sung as a secular community thing. as my pal says all the time, itâs music thatâs âbuilt for griefâ #FaSoLa
If you haven't done the maths here it is: we can solve for climate change and social justice/global poverty. We can't do that and have wealthy people as we have wealth accumulation now. It isn't rocket science.
I cannot overstate the importance and impact of strong environmental regulations.
Can't move into new house as soon as planned because the contractor is under-crewed, because even legally-resident people are in hiding in fear of deportation. So, he's able to do fewer jobs, buy less material, etc. Morals/policy aside, multiply that across the whole economy. đ«€
"How bad slavery was" is worse. Much worse. Much worse than you think, much worse than you're taught, much worse than museums depict. Worse.
My best tweet ever was âLetâs put the cialis in socialismâ and Iâm still mad it didnât go wildly viral
This motherfucker
Remember how shocked, saddened, disappointed, and angry we were when the Taliban blew up the Buddhas of Bamiyan? We called them irresponsible ignoramuses. Yea, itâs like that.
Dear Smithsonian⊠safeguard the past. Move your archives to Canada before destruction claims them.
Always seemed a mark against the Enlightenment that its patron Saint John Locke wrote the Carolina Colony Constitution that expressly said âEvery freeman of Carolina shall have absolute power and authority over his negro slavesâ
If you are suffering as a customer during a strike, that is because management is intentionally passing on the suffering to you, which means you have common cause with the workers. This is so whether the management is of an airline, a hospital, or a retail establishment.
Being a trans immigrant who currently doesnt know if she is gonna get citizenship or not; this Superman movie was everything I needed this year.
The wisest words in society are âI donât knowâ and we need to really emphasize that. If someone you respect says âyou know what, I donât know but let me help you figure this out or help you find someone who may know,â youâve found yourself a winner. Thatâs true wisdom.
Bruenig, I guess
Can Newsom have California's National Guard invade West Virginia while WV's National Guard is invading DC?
anyway the choice america faces going forward is live in the confederacy or do reconstruction for real and purge those motherfuckers from all of public life. and there isnât really an in-between.
Prediction: the USPS will be the last bit of federal government standing.
We need to stop treating law enforcement as politically neutral. They have never been. Their presence is a political statement. Every interaction they have with civilians is political speech.
If only that one trans swimmer lost to 5 cis women instead of losing to 4 women and tying with one, maybe we'd still have democracy.
Hey @bsky.app, I too wish ill on Joanne Rowling and all other bigots too. Gonna ban me?
Donât say the quiet part out loud. Just donât. Vote or donât vote but donât TELL them there is no bar too low. Make them earn your vote.
people really need to stop saying âill vote for anyone who isnât trumpâ and start saying âif you want my vote you need to stop throwing marginalized people under the busâ you know, the thing trump does. cuz they hear you compromise and decide thatâs good enough for them. you are a means to an end.
Yes. We need to primary the snot out of these guys.
Anyone going out of their way to signal they consider trans people an acceptable sacrifice, right now, is not doing so because they *have* to - they're doing it because they *want* to sacrifice trans people.
What's she doing with the other $109,953,000,000?
Right, but if a politician sets their policies based on second-guessing what they think the people want, they tend to lose.
The whole article is about electoral âmathâ driving policy. The premise of the article is flawed.
If you tell me to compromise on people's rights for some nebulous greater good I will always say Yours First Then. I am a Black man. That means I am both marginalized and privileged. As a marginalized person encroaching on the rights of others offends me. As a privileged person it also offends me.
When conservatives say âtyrannyâ they mean âpluralistic democracyâ.
Do people think they're being clever or do they genuinely not understand that the "tyranny" the fash wanted to fight was queer people existing and women having rights?
Most elected Dems seem sincerely to want police to be more violent and less accountable, though. More to the point, assembling a policy platform based on cynical electability calculus, rather than sincere values, is the best way to lose.
there's a certain dark humor in the fact that the administration is treating a dude throwing a sandwich at a cop like a suicide bombing
27 years ago, two years after the introduction of effective HIV treatment, the Bay Area Reporter, San Franciscoâs lesbian and gay community newspaper, ran âNo Obitsâ as its headline. It was the first edition not to report an AIDS death in almost 15 years.
đ”I threw the sandwich But I did not throw the bag of chipsđ”
âWe just knowâ
Even Grok, a mindless bot that only tells you what you want to hear, has a better stance on this than the Democratic party, and that should be deeply embarrassing to the Democratic party.
really trying to model the psychology of people who get personally offended at (it would seem) literally any criticism of the Democratic party. given my mentions of course
Never forget.
BBC: âAl Jazeeraâs entire team in Gaza city has been killed.â
advisors in the democratic party being paid 950k a year to tell dipshits with the empathy of a dried up sand dollar which minorities to throw under the bus this week
Theyâll get you
Or we set the minimum wage to $25 an hour, and you pay your fucking taxes like the rest of us.
Canât say why exactly, but the phrase âonce again refused a pierogiâ made me laugh out loud.
they're going to take the 3rd option which is to do dog-dick all and say some mealy mouthed "we need to compromise" bullshit because the establishment dems are all fucking worms and they're enabling the genocide of me and my friends and i'm sick of not being able to say that.
I feel I must inform you that @keithedwards.bsky.social is now calling Stephen Miller "Pee Wee German." www.instagram.com/reel/DNJS2WS...
Every single IoT enabled gizmo in your house not only can but almost certainly will be compromised. At some point, people with IoT pacemakers, defibrillators, and insulin pumps will get blackmailed by online malefactors.
Iâm a pretty princess!
democrats are going to be dealing with anti-trans hate until they either - nut the fuck up and defend these people from bigoted attacks - concede to every republican attack on the issue, inevitably leading to the total eradication of trans people from all public life literally the only 2 options
Bringing knives to a gunfight is not the way to win.
Oh, youâre an old soul? Name 3 of your children who died of consumption
being trans is the radical idea that we are not the property of our parents.
Just spitballing here, but cryptobros throwing sex toys at WNBA players on the court and other cryptobros and male sports commentators calling it funny and telling the women and their coaches to 'lighten up' both explains the 'male loneliness epidemic' and why I don't care about it.
Imagine chilling in your home country sitting down to have lunch with a YouTube video playing in the background and suddenly some plastic faced homunculi of a Hitlerian doll pops up to call you a wetback Thatâs been the experience here for a while now youtu.be/7QWXO2yDcwA?...
Why should Democrats be fair to Republicans? Anywhere, ever?
skrEEEEEEEEEYEEEYEEEE
Sitting is the opposite of standing.
Itâs about fairness in womenâs sports.
