I know too much about canine population genetics, child development and art. Breathing in the beauty of the world, breathing out the terror.
These people are just so gullible.

Remember how Obama was for sure going to institute Sharia law?

But actually Trump is the one imposing religiosity?

So dumb.

I love that Mamdani is what the right claimed Obama was: A Muslim socialist born in Africa. The right practically manifested Mamdani into existence.

I'm really sorry to have subjected all of you to all this NYC posting but it's really been the most breathtakingly ugly race, particularly given that Mamdani has the affect and manner of a Sesame Street character
I don't know what will happen in NYC tonight, but I do know that regardless of outcome, any number of public figures, celebrities, politicians and institutions that oppose Mamdani have done so with a level of rhetorical ugliness, racism, and dishonesty that should neither be forgotten nor forgiven.

If you don’t vote, no one cares what you think.

Be a voter. Pick the better candidate. Then let whoever wins know how they are doing.

It’s any citizen’s OBLIGATION.

It’s the cost of having sewers and roads and schools. Hell of a deal.
When I explain that boycotting an election over an issue has never once forced a politician to embrace that issue, I'm not "scolding people to vote." I'm explaining reality.

Feel free to sit on your ass! Just don't pretend that your lazy apathy is somehow going to advance your agenda.

They invented the guillotine for a reason.

We know about the guillotine because it was used many, many times.

I’m so sick of the economic issues are more important than social issues people. 44% of the US is non-white, 30% are white women. We’re all included in “DEI,” a group they’re trying to kick out of the job market. It’s hilarious that anyone thinks they can have an economy without us.

Pregnant Women, DON’T TAKE PARENTING ADVICE FROM A CONVICTED FELON WHO OWNED A TEENAGE BEAUTY PAGEANT AND HAS SHUT DOWN THE GOVERNMENT TO HIDE THE FACT THAT HE WAS BEST FRIENDS WITH THE MOST NOTORIOUS CHILD RAPIST IN MODERN HISTORY.

People. The East Wing was built in 1942.

Tearing it down is still disgusting. But let’s be realistic. It can be rebuilt.

The psyches of young people watching masked military brutalizing people daily - this is much harder to heal.

May it (at least) emphasize the preciousness of peace.

I think normies care more about the East Wing than a lot of other atrocities. Because its destruction cannot be explained away and there are no nuances they can decide not to think about.
do you think normies care about the East Wing being demolished?

“The president demolished the White House.”

“The president politicized the FBI and DOJ to go after his opponents.”

“The president is why life is more expensive today.”

“The president was besties with Epstein.”

Messaging isn’t hard and makes you wonder why Dems aren’t saying this every day.

I am so tired of leftists dragging Democrats who were doing what they could in the politics of their time.

More liberal policies would not have had support. Biden got lots of them done and leftists don’t care.

Let’s instead praise AND improve upon the work they did, FFS.
everyone is welcome and encouraged to resist fascism, to fight back

but we can’t just go back to Clinton/Obama neoliberalism

it wasn’t working then, it got us where we are now, and it won’t get us out

The loss of Keaton is a blow to any fan of 1970s cinema. So iconic.

Arrrggghh.

Every US hospital must by law give emergency care to anyone who shows up. We don’t check nationality prior to saving a life. Would anyone rather we leave dying non-citizens to bleed out on the sidewalk?

And if we did, how safe would we be abroad?

The GOP makes fools of Americans daily.

Why isn’t anyone??

Why isn’t anyone championing the right to a decent quality of life for the rural poor??

Seems like something Democratic leaders could do RIGHT NOW.
What would the reaction be if Democratic politicians went on TV every week to talk about how scary and dangerous Louisiana was, or how bleak and depressing life in rural Mississippi is, or how Oklahoma ranks last in education and “God, can you imagine being from there?”

I think often of James Baldwin’s quote: “I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain.”

I think it’s because he lost on the Jimmy Kimmel issue.

He’s truly a toddler in a baggy suit.

Don’t forget the Epstein files.
The sale of TikTok, Jim Comey's indictment, and not one but two new rounds of nonsensical tariffs, all within about an hour.
