The Zohran press conference is your regular reminder that the entire administration folds like tissue paper at the slightest hint of confidence and conviction, and thus the fact that national democrats are playing a game of capitulation and weakness is exactly why they're all getting away with it

unfortunately my most woke opinion is unpostable, so my second-most woke opinion is that wage labor (and eventually money altogether) and borders should be abolished. you get food, shelter, and healthcare just for existing, and you can unfasten your seatbelts to move freely about the planet
"my least woke opinion is---"

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.

Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

Remindee that her own campaign actively ignored pro-Palestinian voters, marking them as "no contact" during her campaign, while sending Richie Torres - a rabid zionist - to do "outreach" in Dearborn, MI.

"This could take down Democrats, too."

I know. And I frankly wouldn't give even an itty bitty damn if it implicated every Democratic man in Congress, every Democratic hopeful for 2028 and every Democrat who has even thought about running for office.

Down with the sex predators, wherever they are.

"Democrats will never fully support disabled people because disability is the antithesis of capitalism. It requires we take a step back from always making a profit when it comes to the lives of people who can produce no profit outside of extraction from our for-profit healthcare system."

100% this.

Trump: This shutdown is hurting the GOP badly! I am saying this publicly! I hope no one is listening and has even the smallest understanding of power dynamics.

Well now, would you look at that?

A massive study of NEARLY 300,000 people in the United States found that receiving an updated 2024-2025 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine REDUCED people’s risk of severe disease AND death in ALL age groups, REGARDLESS of immunity from prior infection or vaccination.

We say "missing," because we do not know for sure, but we also know what we all suspect to be the outcome.
This cruelty must stop.

There’s no doubt countless more stories like these that will never be told

People being harmed who will never have justice.

We know 1200 people went missing from the Everglades facility and 3000 are missing from the Chicago raids.

Make noise for all of them.

Recently my brother in law explained what gerrymandering was to a coworker and they didn’t believe him because if that were really happening there would be riots in the street
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."

"This fucking sucks" and "all is lost" are two different sentences.

Fascism requires you to give it power. To the democrats saying “they deserve it” to those afraid their families will starve and let’s be clear that’s the reality families will starve.

You’ve given all of your power to the fascists and you yourself are becoming one.

The Biden admin's pointed refusal to root out Trumpism, or even inflict any real consequences for it, also fit this pattern, as does his administration's embrace, spearheaded by Harris, of Trumpian anti-immigrant hatred. "The wall is a bigoted scam" became "we'll build the wall more efficiently."

I cannot recommend you enough to install the Wikipedia app on your devices and use it like you would any search engine. Nowadays they even have tabs so you can open many articles at once.

And, if you can, please donate to the foundation. It has survived the internet enshittification that way.
wikipedia's data shows that AI is siphoning traffic away from the site, which is a danger to its sustainability. ironically Wikipedia is more important than ever to users who want reliable information instead of slop, and to AI companies that need it for training data www.404media.co/wikipedia-sa...

MAKE SURE YOU ARE VACCINATED AGAINST MEASLES. GET YOUR MMR.

Measles cases have reached their HIGHEST point since the disease WAS ELIMINATED from the United States in 2000. We are at the tipping point for the return of ENDEMIC measles.
