Again it’s not good that the most prominent leaders of the party keep insisting it’s a trap to talk about “identity” when the Trump administration is pushing white supremacy.
Speaking at a Texas Tribune Festival on Friday, former U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg criticized the Democratic Party for failing to reach everyday Americans, arguing that it “got sucked in” to a conversation about identity. #TribFest25
Pete Buttigieg critiques Democrats for focus on identity
The former U.S. transportation secretary said the Democratic Party should focus more on issues gripping the country, such as health care and housing affordability.

Wow, surprise: It's much easier to find a forever home for adorable baby kittens who are weaned and litter-trained than to find a foster parent who can bottlefeed 😅
I'm so glad it worked out to foster them myself. It was a joy. And the golden butter Biscuit stole my heart forever.

Democrats in a year: We're proud to announce that we're fighting to make sure the public executions are conducted with fair trade rope, American made firearms, and organic poisons grown right here in what was called America's bread belt before it became illegal to feed each other.

Idiom Origin
“pull yourself up by your bootstraps”
This was originally *sarcasm* & meant to convey that the act was impossible.
A boot strap is a loop used to help put your boot on.
This 1921 cartoon from the “Nonpartisan Leader” showcases that you can’t pull upward on your boots to levitate.

"We need a Joe Rogan of the left so that people (not me) will listen to him and then we can convert them to political donors and reliable Democratic voters."
That's not how this works. There's no demand.
You want viewers? Take CEO's and drop them in the tundra and film them being chased by wolves.

Yeah, I think if you've been primed to use ChatGPT for a personal assistant or a companion, you're response to it is going to be completely different than mine. Me? I threaten ChatGPT with violence at least once a day at work. The antagonism is built in for me. I hate that bitch. I'm gonna get her

Genuinely curious what these people will need to wake the fuck up. I'm pretty sure most non-MAGA Americans need Trump to run ads on every platform and newspaper saying, I, Donald J. Trump, am a capital-A Authoritarian. TRUTH!
This week I had someone tell me they're not worried about SNAP being cut off because "that's illegal, so it's impossible Trump could do that, so obviously it's just media sensationalism." Another person told me they weren't worried about ICE because "they can't detain you if you're legally here."

Hi to a bunch of new followers 🖤 I'm Heidi, a queer Appalachian artist working with pen and ink. I'm posting politics heavily right now as we process this election, but I'll be posting (new) art soon. Meanwhile, have a priestess from my tarot.

Having done both now, I have to say caring for three bottle fed kittens is slightly more all-consuming and exhausting than having one brand new human.
Thank fuck they grow faster.

Ahoy cis friends—let’s make these audiobooks a massive failure. Probably nobody on here needs to hear this, so I’ll cross-post on FB, haha!
Cannot wait to watch every single cis person I know shrug, make a vaguely apologetic face, and buy into this forced renaissance of HARRY POTTER with gusto
