I know this is going to sound naive or earnest, but I genuinely find myself shocked by how little people seem to be upset by the levels of corruption we're seeing. Is that the median voter assumes everyone is corrupt already? Or isn't actually getting stories about the corruption?

Democratic Party voters are fed up with the party’s excuses.

If Republicans can stop Democrats from getting things done, then Democrats can stop what Republicans are doing now.

Are the Dems going to write a strongly worded letter that Elon will wipe his ass with?
Where the fuck is our leadership???

So quite literally Elon is letting a bunch of loser frat boys take over the treasury and gain access to trillions of dollars

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

While we may face repercussions for this, the truth lies in the metadata. Memos to federal employees are being authored by individuals with ties to Project 2025. You can verify this yourself.

Memos posted publicly to government websites claiming to be from the acting directors of OPM and OMB have metadata showing that the original authors are affiliated with Project 2025.

The folks obsessively posting about egg prices for the past few years have gone strangely quiet just as egg prices hit an all-time high.

Now, when Trump swoops in and tries to “save TikTok,” I hope you all remember that he’s also the one that started talks of this ban in the first place.

People are messaging me saying Zuck bought TikTok, and they’ll never go back. Meanwhile, I’ll be on YouTube clicking every Facebook and Insta ad I see just to cost Meta money. Play the long game, folks.

Weird the banned TikTok and abortions but not assault weapons.

might be good to remember that banning TikTok was Trump's idea in the first place
TikTok is fortunate for President Trump. 🙏

Just a reminder of some of the context around the TikTok ban: In 2020, Trump tried to ban it via executive order a couple months after K-pop fans used it to organize fake signups to Trump’s Tulsa rally, which led him to publicly overestimate how large the crowd size would be.

If you see that TikTok message about Dear Leader and are still gonna use it when it comes back, I don’t know what to tell you.

the Supreme Court really said it’s only on for China to have our data as long as ‘Americans’ (read: musk) can sell it to them

I don’t believe one person in his cabinet that says they will respect marriage equality as settled law and leave it alone. Three Supreme Court justices said the same thing about abortion and lied.

Be careful with the ERA news. The amendment has not been published, nor has Biden ordered the archivist to do. He has simply stated that he believes the amendment has met the requirements.

Pretending to ratify the ERA on the last day of the job but not allowing enough time to get it signed, sealed and delivered really takes the definition of virtue signaling to a whole 'nother level.

My one wish for the inauguration is that there is a gift bag under the seats of Bezos, Zuck, Elon etc, with a single, embroidered , padded knee pad

Need to protect themselves when they are on bended knee, kissing the ring 🤷😆

oh to be a fly on the wall when Congress realizes we’re just flocking to an actually Chinese owned app after the TikTok ban
