honestly the timing makes it seem like they shut down the government to get the base energized for the election, and then pulled the rug out underneath them once they got the wins they wanted and think that people won't remember this in a year.
Kinda funny the Dems did the shutdown largely as a show for the base and now people are madder than before lol

I dunno who needs to hear this, but tonight would be a great time to ditch the Dems, register as an independent, and become a dues-paying member of the Working Families Party.

Bonus points for calling the Dems and telling them why you're doing it.

Regularly scheduled reminder that they will continue to say ridiculous things to get us to waste our time and energy explaining why those things are ridiculous. Like any magic trick - watch what the other hand is doing

as always we need to be careful about what it is that we are using criticisms to actually do in the world and not just what political aesthetic we are trying to express

By describing a fetus as a person from conception, Trump has legitimized fetal personhood. The legal language employed by fetal personhood also effectively categorizes any person receiving an abortion at any stage as a murderer.
Trump Sneaks Dangerous Rights for Fetuses into Executive Order
Donald Trump slipped the anti-abortion language into an otherwise unrelated order.

Great ideas here for folks who are feeling panicked or don't know what to do in this moment.

Biden warning about a growing oligarchy is too little too late. What a pathetic feckless president who will go down in history as an abysmal failure.

This is your regularly scheduled reminder that Women's March (Or the People's Marches this weekend) have asked people not to wear those pink hats anymore. The official color is green, and those hats are racist and transphobic. Thanks!

hi, cis folks! meet HB28. it's a sports ban on trans athletes. but actually, it's the first step to something much worse—see below.

45 sec call scripts for democrats & republicans in congress follow. if you've been saying you'd stand with trans people, now's the time.🧵

I will say it's nice to see California's Attorney General focusing a lot more on price gougers than "looters".

Can I get an Etsy link for catnip toys in this style but it looks like George Bush? Bonus points if there's also a Reagan one
got a belated Christmas gift from a friend who stuffed this 30 year old piece of Desert Storm propaganda with catnip for my cat, Saddam Hussein

Since some of my Facebook friends are joining BlueSky, here's a quick tip on setting things up here: Find an account you like in a niche you're interested in and look at who they're following.

Been devouring this the last few weeks and I cannot believe how essential it feels for understanding our current moment

After watching MAGA weirdos dancing to the Village People's "YMCA" one too many times, I'm going to need someone to explain to me what possible heterosexual explanation exists for the lyrics to that song.

Literally the only correct take on that Alex Garland movie
I don't believe objective journalism is possible but after finally watching Civil War, I also think it's evil
