it's interesting because right wingers won't shut up about triggering the libs, liberal tears, etc etc but on a deep level what they want isn't for us to be angry, what they want is for us to apologize and admit they were right all along
Like 30% of the country is absolutely enraged because they thought they were going to be able to be utter shitbirds without anyone being allowed to call them shitbirds, but here we are, calling them shitbirds.

Since people find being hopeful and optimistic so cringe these days, let me remind you once again that there isn’t a single liberation movement in the world that wasn’t built on hope and optimism.

Imagine a world in which all politicians spend time in soup kitchens & shelters, offer pro bono legal clinics, work on low-income housing sites, volunteer in hospitals, at daycare centers, literacy classes — because the priority of a real political party should be to build & support community.
Combatting poverty and hunger in this city will take every single one of us. Myself included.

Here is your annual #Thanksgiving reminder that "Over the River and Through the Wood" was written by Lydia Maria Child, a fierce abolitionist who waged a lifelong struggle for racial justice in the US. She loved her country; she recognized its faults; she fought to fix it. 🙏 🙏for her example!

Mamdani is a child of privilege therefore his socialism is cosplay designed to rile up downwardly mobile youngsters into stealing money from job creators. Wilson is poor and her socialism is just a way to get job creators to pay for her expenses.
You guys realize that taxing people to pay for services isn't socialism, right? This is just how governments work.

Listen to this Border Patrol agent cry about how he's going to be DOXXED after being arrested for drunkenly barging into a woman's restroom with a loaded gun, demanding a date from the woman inside, and then punching the arresting officers.

a lot of these people try to spin their retrograde attitudes about gender as a form of women's empowerment by appealing to the idea that femininity has been undervalued. but they don't want to elevate the status of femininity, they just want women to be more feminine so they can undervalue them
You might have read something about Ross Douthat’s podcast last week. Becca Rothfeld reviews the new book by Leah Libresco Sargeant, one of the guests on that show. www.washingtonpost.com/books/2025/1...
Review | A conservative argues we need to value ‘women as women.’ But what does that mean?
Leah Libresco Sargeant argues that we need to better acknowledge human need and vulnerability, and that valuing women “as women” is a start

RE starbucks picket line--the relevant detail is "picket line, do not cross." Pass that along. Proclaiming that you are in no danger of doing so because you are too aesthetically pure to let Starbucks coffee pass your lips is...unhelpful and does not give the impression you perhaps imagine it does.

Yes. How do Dem electeds not understand this dynamic? After all these years?
At some point we have to let pain hurt Trump instead of helping him. Every time we let pain help him, he’ll do more and bigger next time.
Each acquiescence means the next one will be *more* painful.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable.
We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

I don't know what the Senate is going to do. But if they do in fact fold in exchange for nothing, they will be living up to past performance. To expect the Senate to carry out the will of the American people is to misunderstand why it was created in the first place.
