You’re telling me the same liberals who demand that we all back a transphobic bigot to become the Dem presidential noninee are also saying that homophobic jokes are necessary because they’re against a fascist?

imo, the reason women of color and especially trans women of color are stereotyped as angry is because we are constantly mistreated by white people, including those in our communities, and the response is either righteous anger or deep sadness that would eventually lead to suicide. I choose anger.

anger isn't inherently bad, and in fact one of the most important emotions to have as it allows you to choose to defend yourself and protect yourself instead of giving into despair and wither away. don't abuse it, but don't fear it either. embrace it by channeling it towards being better than them.

oppressed people are angry. oppressed people are loud. oppressed people don't keep their tone down or dot their i's
politeness and niceness is the privilege of those who have no reason to be angry, no reason to be sad, no reason to have to use what little power they have to fight.

Incredible how much dirt the Dems had on Trump and never used it 'cause the Epstein case hits a bunch of their own guys. Their donor class and the guys they advance as major candidates have so much more in common with him than with you.

it's not that i ever doubted that being a barista was a skilled position, but my year-long effort to try to produce a half-decent latte at home has convinced me that a good barista is easily more skilled than virtually every c-suite executive on the planet

disability comes for us all, no matter how hard we clutch onto the "invincibility" of youth or how much we buy into wellness fads.
I don’t care who you are, the one thing that links all of the -isms and bigotries together and sets them on fire is eugenics and ableism.
They’ve been playing you all the entire time. There is no progress in this country for ANYTHING without equity for disabled people.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.
Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.
This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

Spotify is crashing HARD because of the boycott. Their stock dropped 11% in value over the last month. Let’s keep this going!
Tell everyone you know to boycott Spotify. There are plenty of alternatives that don’t run ICE advertisements and screw over artists.

There had better be trials. And not just for the low-level thugs carrying out these orders, but for everyone up the chain of command.
If we get past this, the solution isn’t to pretend it never happened and invite Stephen Miller to Harvard’s Institute of Politics.
It’s trials w real punishments.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

This is the facility that I and many others have been protesting. We’ve been hit, thrown, gassed, and shot with pepper bullets but none of that holds a candle to what is being done to people *in* the actual facility.
Read this thread. Don’t look away. Keep your eyes and the pressure on Broadview.

Trump is appealing the judicial order to pay full SNAP benefits by tomorrow.
He’s spending tax payer dollars going back to court to try and avoid giving folks money they are legally owed.
He’s starving 42 million people because to him they are leverage.

That’s a 16 point swing!
To be clear, I am not saying this is the only reason Harris lost or Mamdani won.
I am saying clearly that Harris’s strategy hurt her and Mamdani’s opposite strategy helped him.
Centrism doesn’t work. Run on affordability and humanity. Voters respond to that authenticity.
