Good point and please reconsider use of that word. Maybe “up in arms,” “bent outta shape,” “overreacting,” “losing their minds…” - plenty of options that don’t have a history of racism. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
Yep, 'Uppity' Is Racist
A lot of people have no idea that the word "uppity," when applied to black people, has racist connotations, but it's getting harder and harder to understand how public figures, in partic...

Get a screenshot zoomed in on the satellite image in Google maps while you still can. They’ve been changing things and removing comments/tags the past few days.

This satellite image of CECOT sure sends some vibes. Even if this is over a year old, they knew exactly what they were doing and where they were sending innocent people.

It’s like a fish not noticing the water. Why would it? It takes privilege & effort to see/unlearn (travel can be especially effective but not necessarily a given) along with the patience & help of others.

This is how they privatize our government institutions. Make it so it doesn’t work by understaffing it then turn around and say”see it doesn’t work” and sell it off to the highest bidder so they can take it over. Then they buy the stocks of said company and make money off it. We fucked yall

Hey there! 👋 Even if someone could care less about being “PC,” non-gendered, non-genitalia oriented options are so much more accurate & impactful. I prefer equal opportunity insults like coward a-hole spineless POS. Same for the best compliments- courageous, hilarious, kind, creative, & resilient.

We have to assume nothing is off the table but I suspect China’s strategy will be to play Russia & the US against each other. Two egomaniacal comically insecure dictators would be easy to manipulate into destroying each other while China focuses their aggression elsewhere & profits off both sides.

Also, ovaries, or better yet, backbone. Pretty sure an abundance of balls, “big balls” even, is part of what got us into this mess in the first place.

Ooorrr, channel that energy into getting everyone around you even more fired up & organized, make sure anyone you know in red or purple areas they visit next is even more excited & motivated to see them. Let’s get all current & former MAGA folks from the“find out” to the “fix it” phase ASAP!

I’m constantly amazed, often infuriated, by how revisionist histories nevertheless found their way in. A well-educated American who deliberately studies history in free time simply to be a more informed, responsible citizen/voter still falls short. So many lies to unlearn. Propaganda works, huh? 😔

Dayum, Canada! Oh how I wish a basic education in historical facts, or general acceptance that objective facts exist at all, weren’t such a flex on us. 🤦♀️ I was lucky to have parents & public school teachers who valued quality education, even/especially when history wasn’t so flattering.

Even “good ones,” like my senators @ronwyden.bsky.social & @jeff-merkley.bsky.social are starting to look like part of the problem - so many missed opportunities to build a united front & effective opposition - w/o real change/courage Dems would squander Waltz, AOC, or even Sanders in higher office🤦♀️

Unless the majority of Democratic leadership stops playing the same old party politics BS, commits fully to reforming the broken, corrupt system that got us here, & stop jockeying for their next position of power & wealth, they won’t let the few truly capable leaders get anything done.

Honest, humble answer from a scared/angry/tired AF American- even if we had the most perfect, inspiring candidate, no one person can save us and we don’t have the luxury of waiting/hoping for primary elections in 2026, let alone the next presidential in 2028.
