The worst part about the boat strikes - regardless of who ordered what and besides the ultimate tragedy of lives lost - is they’re forever a stain on the professionalism and dignity of the United States military.
They’re an insult to every American who ever sacrificed to do the right thing.

Mamdani just played Trump without sacrificing immigrants, Muslims, workers, or the LGBTQ.
Trump did his transactional charm offensive, Mamdani countered without compromising.
He won big and this is the man the Democratic Establishment still won't embrace.
What more do people need to see?

On Tuesday, Americans sent Democrats a resounding message.
“Fight for us”
“Fight for working class Americans”
“Fight against Trump’s corruption, criminality and cruelty”
5 days later, Democrat Senators sent Americans a resounding message.

Cull the Democratic Party. Systematically chip away all the weak, corporate centrists and corrupt, gutless elected officials who refuse to fight and instead suck at the teat of the oligarchy.

A reminder - last March, republicans promised to restore $1.1B in funding to DC in exchange for funding the government, and Mike Johnson never took it up in the House.

“We got the promise of a vote” has big “but RFK Jr told me he wouldn’t undermine vaccines” energy.

I am certainly no seasoned strategist but I am a little skeptical of the political wisdom behind building a giant golden ballroom and sharing a dozen photos of a renovated marble bathroom at the very moment that millions of people are losing access to healthcare and food.

With SNAP running out (as a real life horror story), I'm seeing a lot of calls to give trick or treaters shelf-stable foods.
And like, sure, add shelf-stable foods to the candy bowl. But please also give the kids their candy. The kids want their candy.

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor.
Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.
These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism.
This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.
Every American should reject it.

If you're a white person on SNAP you need to pull yourself up by the bootstraps on the boots you got through generational wealth and privilege and leave the food pantries the fuck alone this November
Stop voting against your own goddamn interests and this wouldn't happen

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.
