They also should have just said this aloud. I agree with this post, this is the wrong move, it was the opportunity to say "Trump is hurting you so much when all we're asking for is to make your health insurance less expensive." BUT - we just couldn't stand to see people hurt anymore is

This explanation is ridiculous yet likely true. Millions of people did not conceptualize Trump the way we do (e.g., "bad person who did a bad job and wants to do bad things like X, Y, Z") but rather as a TV character, an avatar of prosperity who would somehow bless them economically.
"... the best explanation for 2025 is that voters didn’t know what they were getting with Trump 2.0 last November, but now they do — and they don’t like it."

This is why they are doing things like shutting down Teen Vogue
People fucking hate this guy. They fucking hate ICE. They fucking hate how much power he has. He is at 63% overall disapproval to 37% approval. That's lower than their poll after January 6th. And this poll was done before he started intentionally starving people. I wish our media would reflect this.

I know you all know what deranged, vile, propaganda nonsense this is. But for the record:
Leaders of the regime are declaring the opposition party and all forms of political dissent as illegitimate - and large swaths of the population to be dangerous terrorists. This is incredibly dangerous.

Mike Johnson on No Kings: "We refer to it by its more accurate description -- the Hate America Rally. You're gonna bring together the Marxists, the socialists, the antifa advocates, the anarchists, and the pro-Hamas wing of the far left Democrat Party. That is the modern Democratic Party."

There is an actual life-changing conflict between WFH being cheaper and more efficient, an entire layer of middle managers who need to have meetings to feel alive, and the commercial real estate cabal that runs all cities. It’s going to get so fucking weird.
remote work is like birth control or UBI atp where there’s overwhelming research consensus they improve quality of life for people they apply to, yet access is impeded or blocked by the ruling class because the thought of marginalized ppl having rich full lives makes steam come out their ears
2. Rolling Stone is owned by a large media conglomerate, which is ending remote work across its brands.
My home is Portland, Oregon, ~1,000 miles from the nearest office, so this marks the end of the line for me at RS.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Our local ER had a massive wait when we went the other night because of a private equity owned conglomerate going bankrupt and causing closures of other regional hospitals and overloading ones like ours but go on couchfucker
ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants
Vance: "If you're an American citizen & you've been to the hospital in the last few years, you've probably noticed wait times are especially large & very often somebody who's there in the ER is an illegal alien. Why do those people get healthcare benefits at hospitals paid for by American citizens?"

Take your Kimmel protest energy and use it to freeze out that hateful JKR too!
Maybe HP was a part of your childhood. Well now it's a slap in the face and a dagger in the back of people who just wanna live.

Gonna just say, if it's this easy to protest against the monolith that is Disney. Then there is no excuse for people to be clinging to Harry Potter. Like, if the needle can be moved against Disney, people can make it move against JK Rowling. Stop the flow of money into her accounts,
If you protested Jimmy Kimmel being pulled off the air by canceling Disney+ or some similarly simple action that had clear, direct, effective results, it feels good that you helped get him back, right? The neat part of you can choose another simple action, and keep that awesome feeling going.

In a white supremacist patriarchy, YOU ONLY HAVE VALUE INSOFAR AS YOU SERVE THE WHITE SUPREMACIST PATRIARCHY. In 2025, that means Trump.
It's why the ppl who battled law enforcement on Jan 6 were pardoned & ppl like Charlie Kirk are heroes.

Kirk didn't serve in the military or hold office. The war hero treatment -- half-mast flags, military guard, Air Force Two escort, calls for a statue at the Capitol or to lie in the Rotunda -- shows that for MAGA, service to Trump has become the highest, most honorable form of service.

This is the line that Dems need to push. It can't be simply. "Political violence is bad" it MUST be "Political violence is bad and Trump and his ilk are responsible for creating conditions ripe for political violence"
Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) on the shooting of Charlie Kirk:
"Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it."

Exactly. A central component of present-day American Christianity is a backlash to the kindness, tolerance, and pluralism taught by Mr. Rogers and Sesame Street. Nothing worse than helping a stranger in need or having Black neighbors who you treat as people.
I’ve seen some folks refer to James Dobson as some coincidental “evil twin” to Fred Rogers, and I would like to clear the record: Dobson was an intentional fundamentalist _reaction_ to Mr. Rogers and his liberal Christian influence on children. It wasn’t an eerie coincidence it was violent rejection

the political rise of the worst, most boring and least curious people in the world has created the permission structure (combined with the mindfuck of 1M+ Americans dying of Covid) for everyone to be an asshole. So on the macro level, everything sucks. And on the micro level, many people suck.

As a rule of thumb, if someone is trying to sell you something they can't explain to you, it's probably a scam.
And if they're trying to sell you something it doesn't/can't do what they claim, that's fraud.
AI, right now, fits both of these rules quite well.
