Saying what doesn't need to be said
"I watch grown-up movies, with my spouse"
Calling it now: I will vote for the first candidate who says, Yeah Star Wars is ok I guess but I absolutely don't have a ranking or anything, like honestly after the first movies I can't even remember which is which for the most part

Horror has a face, and you must make a friend of horror. Horror and moral terror are your friends. If they are not, then they are enemies to be feared. They are truly enemies, Charlie Brown.

AOC: We have a future to fight for, and we're either going to do that together or you're going to be left behind. It's not about Progressive. It's not moderate, it's not liberal. This is about do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now? And the assignment is you come together…

I continue to believe that misogyny is the ultimate mainspring of contemporary society
I think about this a lot, Democrats (both elected and just individual voters) bring this up all the time, the evidence and anecdotal experiences reinforce it (brutally, tbqh) and yet “Republicans are better at the economy” just persists? Why???
I am afraid it’s gender, which is near intractable.

It’s funny to see how many people here are insisting that Dems never even try to make this case when I think of it as “Bill Clinton’s favourite stat” which he brings up variations of literally every time he has a chance lol

Under Trump, the draconian future of homelessness policy is coming into focus: mass internment. Utah is building a 16-acre site to detain up to 1,300 homeless people inside locked "accountability centers." This is profoundly alarming.

BREAKING: Democrats just tried to pass a standalone bill to fund WIC & SNAP to make sure families don't go hungry during the Republican shutdown.
Republicans BLOCKED it. So Trump won't use emergency funds to keep SNAP running, and Republicans won't let any bills pass. Shameful.

They don’t even pretend to care. This is the only story. You can’t open the government if the House refuses to show up.

i really resent the continued assertion that there’s so much anger on both sides, as if the causes of the anger are equally legitimate. we’re angry because masked maniacs are violently snatching our family and neighbors off the street, and they’re angry because we’re calling them out for it.
