None of this is acceptable and I refuse to lose my outrage.

It seems like this person was probably not a persuasion target for the Greens to begin with. Silly answers are just backfilling.

Some voters have been criticizing Barack Obama's healthcare reforms for 15 years because "he called it Obamacare." That unofficial name was a Republican smear campaign.

JD Vance takes the mic and immediately attempts to tell a joke. He doesn't get a single laugh. Not. Even. One.

If you hate Democrats more than you want to stop Republicans, you’re not a resister.

You’re not a progressive.

You’re not an ally.

You don’t care about LGBTQ people or Black people or immigrants or women or genocide or student loans or housing or taxing billionaires.

You’re a collaborator.

Today is a good day for people to be reminded that we actually *can* hold the wealthy and powerful accountable, we just have to put in the work to get there.

If your elected official isn’t willing to put in the work, kick their ass out and find someone who will (that might end up being you!)

Cops just arrested Prince Andrew in connection with the Epstein Files.

Good. More. Once the dozens of implicated nations around the world

continue to publicize the accountability stemming from

Epstein’s GLOBAL CHILD SEX TRAFFICKING NETWORK,

the U.S.🇺🇸 will appear all the more outlandish and odd.

"free/cheap/non-toxic youth sports" feels like one of those skeleton keys that would have knock-on effects accidentally fix 100 unrelated things about America

or, you know, even if it didn't, at least a bunch of kids would be able to have fun playing sports

Sometimes when I’m meetings with brands and organizations about how to encourage participation and raise the levels of talent in different sports, and I hear all about the most amazing innovations, I usually suggest greater access by making it free or cheaper and then everyone gets weird about it.

Between schools removing hands on learning/trade school prep and the flood of pills and fent, the game changed as did the players.

Don’t yall get brand new on unc either. I would certainly take a five finger discount on many things in this economy.
I’m all around disappointed in modern crackheads. They don’t fix cars, hook up illegal cable, boost appliances or nothing like their predecessors.

We used to be a proper country.
Aye AZ got some boring ass crack heads. They just stand and stare

My fellow white people. Vote for Jasmine Crockett in the Texas primary. Y’all want to be edgy, alternative & progressive. There ain’t nothing more punk rock, alternative & progressive than a Black woman Democrat running for the US senate in Texas.

When supremacists come for one minority (or less powerful group, since women are a majority), they never JUST come for one

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide.

This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.
