Democracy is far more than a form of government.
Democracy is a way of life which promotes the individual and combined interests of all.

The Greeks coined the word democracy, which meant "everybody is king," or *the people rule.*

FUCK BERNIE SANDERS!!! There was a healthcare bill on the table in 94 & this rancid piss flap killed it. Stop lionizing this useless old fossil.
Article above goes into great detail on how the ACA's demise will affect the rest of us. The BBB cut $1 trillion out of Medicaid. Republicans are gleefully killing the healthcare system.
Medicare will see cuts too!
Bernie Sanders has reintroduced the Universal Health Care
Bill. It's time to pass it

This is one deportation I absolutely would support.

Why oh why in our modern times do we elevate the stupidest among us to be the most wealthy and famous?

Bernie has only enriched himself, the American people got basically nothing from his 30 plus years in office.

Fuck Clooney forever
Oh he actively helped sabotage the American dream for the rest of us by needlessly throwing Democrats into disarray and stoking that discourse last summer, and then not supporting Kamala. I wouldn’t celebrate if I were a French normal liberal right now.
George Clooney, Amal, and their twins just got French citizenship. Fantastic because apparently, the American dream wasn’t enough. Meanwhile, the rest of us are stuck dealing with soaring taxes, inflation, and a political system that favors billionaires over ordinary citizens.

He talks about progress and democracy, but when it gets personal, he chooses comfort, convenience, and a second passport. It’s exactly the kind of hypocrisy that erodes trust in leadership and in our country.

And let’s not forget: he publicly criticized Biden in 2024, urging the president to step aside. Sure, it was framed as “concern for the party,” but to the average voter it looked like yet another elite deciding who gets to lead America.

Apparently Clooney has gone silent after he bashed Biden and no longer feels the need to fight for our country.
Good Riddance.

this is the stupidest thing I’ve ever read from McMegan, I think, which is a remarkable achievement
This is not hard. Artists are not responsible for ensuring the Kennedy Center remains relevant and successful. The center’s board is responsible for that, in a fiduciary way. All of this energy being directed at artists should be re-directed at the board.

Imma repeat this for the Do Something Now folks, the Free Palestine Movement folks, and the No King Folks...

The Georgians are still protesting and boycotting for 390+ days against the pro-Russian government.

Y'all are not the same.
Y'all don't have that kind of heart.

Really? Arizona’s Governor Katie Hobbs won in 2022 by winning with a broad coalition of Democrats, Independents, and yes, even Republicans. In a state where Democrats are the minority, she got around 10% of Republicans to vote for her. Building coalitions is a good thing.

Going on tours & holding rallies isn't what she gets paid for.
Rep Underwood was elected the same year, but she flipped a red district & with Trump & a GOP-majority Senate, got 4 bills passed into law in her 1st term.
AOC's been in office 7 years & what bills has she introduced that became law?

And she literally talked about her platform, the most progressive and pro-working class platform in history, EVERY DAY for 107 days AND warned about EVERYTHING Trump would do (Dems even read Project 2025 live on CSPAN and had the entire 900+ pages of it online).

Black Americans, it's time to turn inwards again. Build our own. Support our own. Protect our own.

Read the tea leaves and comprehend how easy it is for them to strip the grudgingly given vestiges away. The revolution will not happen on social media.

Return to your community and roots. 👊🏽

The utter perversion of the #BrokenTimes' both-sidesing compulsion: Here it equates the right-wing ruin of New College with (checks notes) liberal (in any sense of the word) education, which it dismisses as just another "ideological bubble." Just fuck off.
