Same The ex I've been using is if there's a red state where a Pro-Life Dem gets the nomination and can be the difference between us winning the senate, even though Roe is hugely important to me I will work my ass off for that pro-life Democrat because if we lose Democracy we lose more than just Roe
What kind of thing are you talking about? Gavin Newsom has been passing laws to protect the LGBTQ community & farm workers....that's literally the opposite of what MAGA Republicans and their secret masked ICE police are doing You're delusional
Instead of deleting your comments just block her Don't give her more engagement And yeah people like her are nuts They have no concept of what it actually means to live under authoritarian rule. What we're seeing now is just the top of the iceberg We need to be united behind ALL Dems
I blocked her already For all we know it's a troll account here for the purpose of trying to start fights amongst Democrats She actually said "I'm a trans woman and I don't care about legal protections for trans people" She just wants to argue
Thank you People have lost their minds Someone can deliver 90% of what ppl say they want but if you don't speak with ideologically purity on any 1 issue they'll purge you from the party If we lose Democracy we lose EVERYTHING on EVERY issue, we need to stop fighting Dems & start fighting facism
You'd be expending more time & energy defeating facists than complaining that Democrats aren't Democrat enough for you You clearly don't deserve Democracy since you're cool losing it over minor policy disagreements Bye forever
You're still full of shit Which policy of Kamala's wasn't progressive enough for you? Was it college debt forgiveness? Universal healthcare? Raising the minimum wage? Reproductive freedom? LGBTQ rights? You're either NOT a Democrat or don't comprehend what living in a facist state means or
Sweetie, he's not trying to make peace with the manosphere He's trying to gain an audience with 18-30yr old males before they become nazis for life Something the Dem Party now understands is an imperative You clearly prefer to just letting MAGA brainwash 80% of the younger generation of boys 🖕
LMAO! Yes, housing prices were totally affordable before Newsom & grocery prices haven't gone up anywhere else YOU'RE FULL OF IT
How do we put them in charge of Trump's Healthcare? That seems like the solution
Trump and Dr. Oz want AI to decide which Medicare patients get care—and they're giving AI companies a profit-incentive to deny coverage. Everything about this is sick and wrong. Tell Congress to intervene NOW:
How many steroids did they pump him full of to get him upright?
Biden has 1 bad debate and the media had 2 weeks of wall-to-wall, national disaster-style coverage reporting every whisper of unverified speculation about his heath But Trump goes completely MIA for days after swollen ankles, massive hand bruises, & incoherent ramblings and....nothing? 🤬
...but they lost their goddamn minds about Biden being old
Where is the mainsteam media? Anyone out there? Can you hear me???
...we're just finding out about it now because a person's medical data is private, NOT public information, and since he holds no office or position of authority it's none of our damn business
Pritzker says all the right things but where's the legal & legislative actions? Why isn't he redistricting? Where's the lawsuits?
I don't understand how billion-year contracts signed by minors are even enforceable They literally prey on children to sign their lives away before they hit puberty I KNOW there's laws about things like this, but every judge seems terrified of a Scientology's harassment & smear campaigns
The fact that the courts continue to uphold the enforceability of Scientology’s arbitration agreements is a complete sham and a total Miscavige of justice
Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.
Have the cheeseburgers taken him down?
My guess: Stroke or congestive heart failure
I'm going on record. You don't cover up dead. He's not dead. However, he's sick as shit. That you can cover up for a bit. But just a bit. Mostly I hope he feels like absolute shit and is very scared of death. That I can work with.
I think it's time to discuss the 25th Amendment.
Good morning from China and this happy-go-lucky throuple of dictators
so ridiculous I can't even Republicans are literally militarizing cities w/ secret masked police "disappearing" people, flagrantly violating court orders, openly taking bribes & extorting obedience, silencing dissent, dismantling democracy &we're gaming out a primary in 2028 People need to wake up
naturally Bernie/AOC stans, people who want Kamala to run again, etc are looking for any way to pre-emptively cancel him from a race that's 3 years away Meanwhile midterms for control of Congress will happen in 14 months & too many Demos are busy attacking other Dems for not being Dem enough. It's
He has the most progressive legislative record of any governor but he did a podcast where he said democrats failed at messaging on trans issues So people lost their damn minds Lots of Americans love him & he's incredibly popular & considered a contender for the Democratic nomination in 2028...so
maybe have concerns or different opinions on 1 or 2 issues with the understanding that defeating facism is more important than ANY issue If we lose Democracy we lose EVERYTHING on EVERY issue My point is Newsom has stepped up & more people would be excited about Dems if more of them did the same
achievements of any of them If we want to grow the party we can't constantly demand people be 100% as progressive as "I" am on everything or they're turncoat bigots who can F* off We grow the party by 1) showing we can fight And 2) re-opening the big tent to people who agree with us on 90% but
I was taught: ACTIONS > WORDS I'm so sick of our shrinking tent that demands ideological purity on EVERY word spoken but results in zero forward progress while we demonize people legislating progress because they don't always say what we want to hear Newsom's got the most progressive legislative
I'm sure he's about the only Democrat I see willing to take actions & not just give speeches to combat gerrymandering & militarization & tariffs & lying & all of it People love pols like AOC & Pritzker because they *say* all the right things, but where's the legislation? Where's the lawsuits?
So Glad Gavin Newsom showed up when He Did ! Now,if we can get OTHER Democrats too fight For Us like He Does,we may be able to Stand Our Ground,and if Not,it was going to be Up to Us Anyway......
making bans illegal, expanding Healthcare beyond ACA, legislating reproductive freedom, converting hotels into housing for the homeless, passing $6.4 BILLION for mental health care, fighting Trump's tariffs & militarization & gerrymandering, etc is "piss poor" you must HATE all other Dem Governors
So if passing the most progressive LGBTQ & trans protection laws in the country, the highest clean energy standards, international climate deals, free school breakfasts/lunch, most progressive food safety & farm workers protections, blocking medical debt from being used in credit reporting,
laws on ANY issue in their states? And why is he the ONLY governor doing anything to combat gerrymandering? Because he's actually being a team playing fighting all the fights too many other Dems are afraid of because they're putting their own re-election prospects ahead of stopping facism
the manosphere so passing the most progressive agenda in the country doesn't matter? Actions > Words Also, if his podcast is so horrific why was Jasmine Crockett a guest? And Beto? And Tim Walz? And why aren't your progressive heroes passing similar or more progressive youtu.be/sqzwWK9LPJg?...
he's currently fighting in court to stop military deployments in US cities & block tariffs, & on & on ...but he talked to 2 people we hate who ALREADY have massive platforms AND daily audience with the President to try to break into popular spaces for males 18-24 & stop us from losing them all to
a massive climate deal with Denmark including sharing clean energy technology, expanded Healthcare beyond ACA, was the 1st governor to provide universal free school breakfast &lunch, 1st Mayor to order the city to issue marriage licenses for same sex couples AND provide universal health care access,
You're so full of shit The "not a team player" guy is the only Dem governor even attempting to combat gerrymandering, passed the most progressive LGBTQ protection laws in the country & made CA a sanctuary state for gender affirming care, passed the most progressive clean energy standards, signed
You think Jasmin Crockett is a nazi in the manosphere? youtu.be/sqzwWK9LPJg?...
Tell me, if every other potential 2028 candidate is so much more progressive than him, why haven't they taken any steps to combat gerrymandering, or passed legal protections for trans kids, or expanded Healthcare, or signed climate deals, or filed suits against Trump in their states?
concerns are just closet bigotry" is how you allay fears and end bigotry 3) He said he personally thinks surgery to change genders should happen in adulthood. Except he doesn't legislate his personal opinion. In fact, he made CA a sanctuary state for gender affirming care with legal protections
ad against Kamala was effective (it was), Dems failed to come up with a coherent response (true), & they lost the issue 80% to 20% (they did) 2) He said he understands parents' concerns about trans athletes & is open to conversations...having an open dialog that doesn't start from "any & all
of any governor on the environment & LGBTQ rights/protections, he's fighting Trump's tariffs & military deployments in court, expanded Healthcare, was the 1st to provide universal school lunch & breakfast, etc And the cherry-picked soundbites you lost your 💩 over: 1) the anti-trans prisoner attack
we just ceded all that ground on the false assumptions that this new generation would be the "most progressive" and "young people will save us" That "moral arc of history" doesn't bend on its own But let's address your lie that Newsom is "open" to facism/nazis He passed the most progressive laws
That's some epic spin Dems are losing an entire generation of boys/young men to the manosphere &it's now a HUGE problem that there's near zero Dems even attempting to inject some liberalism into popular spaces amongst 18-25 yr old males It's now generally seen as a huge failure by the left that
"If you don’t want to tear it down and start from scratch, you’re part of the problem. If you *do* want to tear it down and start from scratch, congratulations, you’re hired." Not much more to it than that.
We all know Trump’s strategy is to try and overwhelm people so they’ll unplug and he can complete his power grab. Here’s how to fight back. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
Words cannot express the joy I feel watching the extraordinary trolling of trump by @governor.ca.gov. Tis a thing of beauty. #TrumpCorruptionCoin

This is the most compelling case I’ve seen yet that America is no longer a democracy but an authoritarian state. Not a *soon-to-be* authoritarian state—a *current* one.
7) End the 435person cap on the House & make the population of the smallest state the apportionment standard 8) Make ethics laws for ALL branches with punishment & enforcement & independent oversight 9) Ban members of Government from taking lobbying/consulting positions 10) End Immunity
The GOOD NEWS is these are simple fixes: 1) Ban individual stock trades 2) Ban Gerrymandering 3) Expand SCOTUS 4) Pass anti-corruption laws with clearly defined penalties and enforcement for 5) Abolish Electoral College 6) Add a 3rd & 4th Senator to states as higher population thresholds are met
oath making the Constitutionally mandated confirmation process a farce There's no ethics rules for SCOTUS Vote by proxy & laxed filibuster rules mean someone who isn't even present can derail legislation With zero enforcement on emoluments & congress self-policing there's no independent arbitors
combined with a total lack of oversight/prosecutions over insider trading & a SCOTUS that's literallyq taking bribes to legalize bribery made pay-to-play & quid pro quo the way of Washington DC Judicial & Cabinet picks LIE in confirmation hearings because there's zero penalties for lying under
representation/access to leaders, however the Senate & Electoral Collegw are the bigger problems. WY has 1 Senator/587,000 people while CA has 1/20,000,000 and TX has 1/15,600,000 which is as absurd as losing the popular vote but winning the Presidency The lack of rules on individual stock trades
The revolving door & lack of regulation on lobbying means a seat in Congress can be parlayed into a highly lucrative job/title/position after by simply providing access Capping the # of Representatives at 435 means that as populations increase and become more diverse people are guaranteed LESS
Politicians aren't the problem, crooked and unaccountable politicians are the problem 🧵 Gerrymandering incentivises each candidate to be more extreme than the last because the primary is all that matters when a general is non-competitive Unlimited money (Cit. Un.) made it legal to buy elections

Never forget the FIRST thing Felon Trump did in his 1st term was to eliminate a ban on people who have been adjudicated mentally ill purchasing guns So when Republicans say the words "mental health" you can tell those lying hypocrites to shove it up their 🍑
I think we're being way too critical of RFK Jr. In fact, his medical advice is so brilliant that he should be POTUS's personal physician He should make 100% of Trump's healthcare decisions! Donny should absolutely NOT get Covid or Flu vaccines, should stop all meds, drink raw milk, & take HGH
At least SOME countries recognize the value of NATURE and all its offerings.
