When we say “an injury to one is an injury to all,” we’d better fucking mean it. 🖤

It’s not enough that the Biden admin supports this genocide, they also have to bully others into complicity as well. What a disgusting & shameful wrap for this administration before they hand the country to Trump.

he's a 78 year old incoming president via historically narrow margins promising fascism while ineligible for another term with a single vote to spare in the house, any democrat who looks at that situation and with a straight face says "we have to work with them" deserves to be ejected from the party

I feel like so much of our politics can be explained by the fact that Daniel Perry is hanging out with Trump and Vance, while the liberal establishment is flummoxed by Luigi Mangione’s appeal.

Agree. one should be hesitant to extrapolate The State of Things based on one guy with a silencer but someone who’s radicalized because they’ve been (presumably) screwed over by the system is a very large pool and is unlikely to be A Perfect Leftist (me) who just coward posts in any event (also me)
To put it another way, the "You thought he was a lefty avenger, but he turned out to be a techbro!" posts I've been seeing strike me as likely orthogonal to the actual question—was he a pretty ordinary person radicalized against the medical insurance system by personal exposure to its failings?
