Nearly 70% of "Progressives" are white.
If you're less diverse than other Democrats and your closest comparison is conservative groups, what does that say about you?🤨
It says, you are exactly who MLK warned Black folks about. 😒
Yeah I said it.

Yeah, how about we take all the furious energy we've been directing toward Democrats for not removing Trump from office through magic and start directing it at the news media, who actually demonstrably CAN remove Trump from office through magic.
Folks, if every last news outlet pulled out all the stops like they did for Biden Old, Trump would be out in a week, tops.
We all know that the media has the power to swift boat anyone they want.
They are choosing not to do this to Trump *because they have been on his side the whole time*.

Honestly boycotting the World Cup would be the most effective and probably the least disruptive of all of the options available to Europe. I’m not sure how you can send teams and fans to contribute to a spectacle designed entirely to celebrate a guy trying to invade your territory.

Sen. Bill Cassidy was the deciding vote on RFK Jr. Cassidy is a doctor and did not support RFK Jr because he is a cynical quack. BUT, Cassidy voted to convict in Trump’s second impeachment trial, so he was offered a deal. Support RFK Jr. and Trump won’t support a primary challenge for your seat.

Despite significant reservations, Cassidy voted to approve of RFK Jr on the caveat that they meet weekly and that RFK Jr would not change the CDC vaccine protocols. RFK Jr. agreed. Cassidy cast the deciding vote and RFK Jr was approved.

RFK Jr immediately went back on his word. He never met with Cassidy, and three weeks ago dumped the CDC’s vaccine protocols. Yesterday Trump endorsed Cassidy’s primary challenger.

Straight White Christian Men are the biggest cowards I've ever seen... living their entire lives absolutely terrified of Black People, of non-Christians, of LGBTQ+ people, of women... doing the stupidest shit to prop up their fragile masculinity, terrified of being perceived of as weak.

And it doesn't even take a lot of Republicans to stop this. Just a handful. A few GOP could put a stop to ALL of this.
Democrats are already united against all of this, but they don't have the votes. They're in the minority. But just a few Republicans saying "no" could change it all.
