Teddy Roosevelt would have called me a “filthy little atheist.” To that I say… damn right, and also fuck your face TR. M4A, war is failure, eat the billionaires. Grow up y’all ☃️Slava Ukraini!

It's amazing how so many billionaires - who have WAY more money than they could possibly need in 500 lifetimes - REALLY want to avoid paying small slivers of tax money to benefit a common good like social safety services for less fortunate countrymen within the society that made them billionaires.

If people want to understand why American politics went bananas in 2012, the reason is that the moderate black President took a modest but consequential step toward decoupling healthcare from employment and every billionaire immediately poured their entire portfolio into race-hate media

Vaccine preventable diseases literally KILL CHILDREN, there is NO EVIDENCE they cause autism & the fact that we’re even having this conversation in 2025 would be a FUCKING JOKE if it didn’t mean that kids who can’t help the fact that their parents are making BAD DECISIONS are ACTUALLY GOING TO DIE.

Elon Musk set to make more money than the COMBINED salaries of all 1.4 MILLION elementary school teachers in the United States ... $3 Biilion more per year, to be precise.

Fucking obscene.

70% of Americans disapprove of this administration’s handling of healthcare. Cutting ACA subsidies is not the solution.

This is the time to make the case and build a broad coalition for Medicare tor All.

Neoliberalism will not stop fascism and in fact will defend fascism as long as it can as an act of self defense because actually dealing with fascism and its root causes also ends neoliberal political theater and it’s corruption.

Dead on.
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.

Fox gives Trump a platform during their NFL broadcast to peddle his absurd lies about "prices are coming way down", "we inherited a mess," and "our country has over $17 trillion being invested in it." Absolutely shameful for all involved.

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 seriously never ever do this, because I figure what’s the point, but I FINALLY this time called and let my Senator (Warner) know that I didn’t want him to back down. And I’m a furloughed Fed not getting paid. Please do the same if you can make a difference.

I feel like we have the opportunity to turn David Lynch's quote into this moment's "Keep Calm and Carry On" and it's a far better rallying cry too.

"Republicans are keeping the government closed, starving kids, and making you miss your Thanksgiving flights because they want your healthcare costs to go through the roof" is actually a pretty effective message for Democrats

I've seen this go by a few times on TikTok now and I have to say, I love this idea. We need a way to convince people to keep running even if they don't win, maybe building the loss into it as a troll move is the secret.

When you see a smart person thoroughly invested in repeatedly misunderstanding something important, understand that it’s not so much about their capacity to comprehend. Their ignorance is a tool to discipline & control the thoughts and actions YOU are allowed to have.
