This is why folks can keep their righteous lectures and the 92% can continue to vote appropriately with or without them
They absolutely hate Black folk
Am I seeing that right?
Academics and super left nutters are saying the orange demon is more progressive than Leader Jeffries?

It's wild to see folks see complaining that Democrats didn't embrace ol boy enough while he smiling and shaking hands and being very polite with the person causing a whole of this misery.
I just ... everything is funny and none of it in a good way.

This asymmetry should clear up some confusion about every politician and party being the same
We spent a year investigating billionaires for @washingtonpost.com.
We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans.

💯 Simply put!
There's the world we want, and the world we have.
I'm never gonna actively choose to make the world I want *harder* bc of a lack of "perfect" choices. I'm moving the needle, minimum.

Racism is one helluva drug baby
"We are hearing the administration say they intend to investigate various Dems who were friends with Epstein. I beg you President Trump -- please stop making this political. It is not about you. Show some class. I voted for you, but your behavior on this issue has been a national embarrassment."

Not Paul Vallas being involved…not only do the rich need to be taxed but they also need to find other hobbies besides dark money in politics
MORE ON PACs — It’s budget season in Chicago and the text messages are flowing.
It’s important to understand who is behind the political action committees reaching out to you.
Urban Center PAC = launched in 2024 by failed mayoral candidate Paul Vallas.

Who’s behind those texts slamming Mayor Johnson and some progressive alders for their ‘snap curfew’ vote? • The TRiiBE
A round of political text messages are circulating in Chicago after the mayor’s veto on a youth curfew ordinance. Experts say these campaigns are only going to increase from here.

Im confused at some of the outrage when this path is exactly what prominent folks on here suggested as well - and when mainly black ppl said no thanks there was an uproar
Raskin: We are a big tent. We must be a huge, vast tent. I say this is a party that’s got room for Marjorie Taylor Greene if she wants to come over.

Congress’s shutdown deal eliminated key food safety rules, blocking agencies from enforcing measures to prevent contamination and trace outbreaks. This rollback has coincided with a surge in hospitalizations and deaths from foodborne illnesses.
Shutdown Deal Kills Rules to Prevent Food Contamination and Foodborne Illnesses
The gutting of these rules coincides with a huge increase in hospitalizations and deaths from foodborne illnesses.

Has anyone else written about how the push for AI essentially nullifies the trickle down economics framework. The argument was that you deregulate and remove taxes b/c corporations create jobs. With AI the opposite is true, b/c the selling point is workforce reduction & job replacement

All those people who said that the administration spent up the SNAP money are probably right. I follow a lawyer on IG who just posted this because they read the court documents.

These are the kinds of calls I was talking about…we shall see though
Wal-Mart called and said they needed that $2B of SNAP money to help their holiday bottom line.Then the airline executives called and cried that they didn’t want to have the flight reduction. Then the lobbyists called and…you get the picture. It wasn’t about the people, never has been, never will be.
