My manner, sir. It looks insubordinate, but it isn’t really. (32 | they/she)
Blocked someone on Tumblr for saying The Green Knight (2021) sucks. I don’t need that kind of negativity in my life

The reason people think the Democratic Party doesn't actually stand for anything is because it doesn't.

Moderate Democrats voted for a budget that does not extend ACA subsidies but sets up a future vote to extend them, a vote that we know will fail. How can we have hope when the ostensible opposition party is this unwilling to do any actial opposition?

There is no evil that these ghouls won’t stoop to. They won’t even decide in favor of not letting Americans starve.
#BREAKING: Justice Jackson has issued an "administrative" stay, temporarily pausing a district court order that would've required the USDA to continue using contingency funds to pay SNAP benefits.

The stay expires 48 hours after the First Circuit rules on USDA's request for a stay pending appeal.

I really wish people would criticize Tr*mp and his administration and supporters without veering into ableism, fatphobia, classism, etc. We can criticize these people without throwing marginalized people under the bus

In the Virginia House of Delegates, Districts 22, 41, 71, 73, 75, and 82 flipped Democrat. Democrats now have a 64-36 majority in the House of Delegates
Partial list of local-county govs Dems flipped:
—NY: Dutchess County legislature
—NY: Onondaga County leg
—PA: Erie County executive
—PA: Luzerne County board
—PA: Bucks County DA, sheriff
—CT: mayors of Bristol, Milford, New Britain, Stratford
(Maybe: Aurora CO, council)

Surely missing a lot!

I’m glad Cuomo lost, but I’m a little concerned that Mamdani’s supporters won’t hold him accountable once he is in office. They didn’t exactly scrutinize him during his campaign

I’m glad Virginia elected a Democratic governor but I’m not happy that she is a former CIA operative
