The school system is still built around a 1950s fantasy where one parent (i.e. the mom) is home and is available for non-instructional days off, midday pick-ups, early dismissals, and weeklong winter breaks. Most families don’t live that reality anymore.

The school calendar wasn’t built for working parents and it shows
Until the workplace and the school system sync up, parents will keep paying the price in time, money, and peace of mind.

Privileged perpetrators. Virginia Giuffre and others have told their stories repeatedly, under oath, at great personal cost. And yet the focus constantly shifts to defending the powerful men rather than seeking justice for those who were exploited as children.

I don't think legacy media is reading the room correctly on the Epstein Files. Many of us are asking why they have ignored this story for the last decade? Why did they dismiss all of us who were concerned that Trump might be compromised? And where is their fucking contrition and apology now?

Remember DNC, it doesn't matter who you run, Fox news will call them a socialist. You could endorse the corpse of Ronald Reagan and their first segment would be "Extreme socialist Reagan picked by Soros to destroy America"
Stop caring what fox news says, and listen to your base. It clearly works.

Democratic party leadership has been on autopilot for ten years, they weren't losing to fascism, fascism isn't popular enough for them to lose to fascism, they were allowing it to fill the void where their leadership should have been. Tonight we're seeing that we have other options. They should too.

The entire right-wing propaganda machine came after Zohran Mamdani.
The president and his allies came after him.
Democratic leaders, by and large, did not have his back until the last minute.
He still won, turning out historic numbers and inspiring young voters.
His politics can win anywhere.

"Do you think the Democratic Party should follow the lead of Abigail Spanberger or Zohran Mamdani?"
What if I told you that Democrats have different audiences in different parts of the country which require different messaging and it's okay for Democrats to tailor their messaging to beat the GOP?
