Democrats like Jeffries spent the entire election calling Trump a fascist threat to democracy and now they can’t figure out why people expect aggressive opposition

i’m sorry, i’m tired of this shit. there was no pronoun policing. i have encountered exactly three or four land acknowledgments in like ten years, and the most you’ll hear about “intersectionality” is in liberal nonprofits. this is just freefloating resentment masquerading as analysis.
Elissa Slotkin told Tim Alberta why her response to Trump's joint address did not touch on a laundry list of priorities from various advocacy groups.

This hits because I dated that guy once
I can't stop laughing at this man I'm sorry. This is the kind of shit the biggest loser in the world would say to their girlfriend about buying her flowers on Valentine's Day once, and he's doing so in an argument that started because he called her a bitch

Absolutely heartbreaking.

No one––especially a child––deserves to face this much cruelty over their family’s immigration status.

In 2019, RFK Jr visited Samoa to spread anti-vax lies, spurring a measles outbreak that led to the deaths of 83 people - mostly children.

We can’t let that tragedy repeat in Texas. The MMR vaccine is 97% effective at preventing measles. Let’s stop the spread.

today's free social media advice for sitting legislators: you gotta stop logging on to say "this is unacceptable" unless you are prepared with a CALL TO ACTION or to tell us what YOU are CURRENTLY doing about it. saying "this is bad" but louder helps nobody.
Giving an unelected billionaire unfettered access to personal taxpayer data—including Social Security numbers and bank account information—is unacceptable and a complete breach of privacy for hundreds of millions of Americans.

When I say they *want* you to **** yourself, I'm being literal. The most progressive, black block anarchist, radical thing you can do right now is stay alive. Ask for help. Your community will step up. Just stay alive.

47,000+ Palestinians killed. 111,000 injured.

Trump’s response? Forcibly expel Palestinians to make Gaza “a real estate development for the future. A beautiful piece of land.” 

No. Gaza must be rebuilt for the Palestinian people, not billionaire tourists.

When social media exposes traditional media’s deceit, it’s time for independent journalists to investigate why the press is backing a president who undermines free press—and is it coordinated?

my unemployment journey has introduced me to pc gaming and I’m looking for some good cozy/relaxing (ish) games on steam if anyone has recs!

I’ve played through Dave the Diver and I’m obsessed, if that’s helpful

BREAKING

A judge has temporarily blocked Trump’s order to end birthright citizenship.

Judge Coughenour said:

“I've been on the bench for over four decades. I can’t remember another case where the question presented is as clear as this one. This is a blatantly unconstitutional order.”
