Democrats denounce Trump's military plans and then vote to fund them.
149 Democrats included AOC, Ilhan Omar, Hakeem Jeffries, and Jasmine Crockett, all voted to increase military spending as Trump is poised to attack Greenland.
Not much of an opposition party if you don't oppose anything.

This condescending assumption that the cost of living is all Americans care about.
Is it partly a tell? That the elites are trying to squeeze the rest of us so hard that we can't fight back on core issues like fascism, economic justice, protecting the vulnerable, lifting up the oppressed...?

It is all the rage at every kitchen table I'm at. We all talk about how Trump increased our grocery bill but we've been really inspired by the Democrats clear plans to address this.

Unless they are stopped, all the worst things that Trump and the Republican Party are going to do are in the future, not the past.
This makes stopping them the highest priority for the future of human life on the planet.

ken did a really great thread here that nicely articulates why i block doomers.
the only thing i’ll add is this: doomerism is a form of voter suppression. saying shit like “there won’t be elections” is saying there’s no point in fighting. it’s demotivating. fuck that.

This kind of thing does point out a real ethical dilemma: block or mute?

All you need to know to realize “Heritage American” is racist bullshit is those who use the term don’t include Black descendants of enslaved people. (Which I say as someone whose ancestry here traces to the 1600s and includes a signer of the Declaration of Independence and a Revolutionary War hero.)
For those not following at home, “Heritage American” is a category of white supremacy covering people whose ancestors were white folks who were pioneers.
