Liberal geek trying to survive in Texas. New to activism but insanely stubborn. Democracy is the hill I'd die on. With liberty and justice for all is not a slogan to me.

I wish the follow up would have been, "so what is the line for you? What's something they could do that would make you think they've gone too far?"

I do not believe Bill

That sounds like a recipe for success, one person one vote equally weighted. Let's get rid of the Electoral College! Who's with me?

Steve Harvey??? Steve Harvey aligned himself with a racist like Dr. Phil? Wow. I knew he was awful, but damn

Yeah, I find this particular topic to be fascinating. The very people who very defensively say they don't have a drinking problem seem to also be the people who deny the science says no drinking is best. I'm not judging you. I occasionally eat Doritos. But I don't pretend they're healthy.

Hey, Qatar, do you need training for this, too?

So are they going to stop shooting any live coverage of Pentagon briefings? They should just read summaries. If Hegseth can't get on TV, he'll implode.

Doesn't the fact that Fox is propping her up give anyone pause?

Auntie Mame 🇺🇦☮️🇬🇱 @auntiemamelives.bsky.social · 14h

Thanks, guys. This gives me hope.

How this has been legal I have no idea

Yep. They all like to think of themselves as dictators

I've asked this before, but does he think circumcision is a new thing?

You forgot the part where they are consistently ranked as one of the happiest countries in the world

That's 27 cases of crimes against humanity, Hegseth. I'd stay away from The Netherlands, if I were you.

He didn't care. It's still pocket change to him.

Seriously, what has the response been in Idaho? I'd love to know. It can't be good.

Especially as a woman. Every self defense anything I've ever had says "don't let them move you to a secondary location. Fight to the death until you can run away."

Ideas? Don't cave to stupid social issues Rs lay out for you. Pick a policy that helps real Americans and become incredibly knowledgeable, then never shut up advocating for it. Build better grass roots orgs, so you don't have to rely on billionaires, like Mamdani. I do something every week

This is why Schumer's antiquated ideas about negotiating and politics-as-usual must die. These are the worst humans. They enjoy the suffering, or to sort of quote Joe Rogan, "they have no heart". What we did not do after the Civil War MUST be done when this is over.

Is it wrong that I find the cases cited hilarious?

Janney was amazing in the show last season. I couldn't decide if I hated her or liked her.

Yes, but is that our bar? Is that the best we can do? Look at Platner. He is popular, willing to fight, and aligned with the party principles. Why pull in an old establishment Dem? What was the point of that except to try to revert to the status quo? I don't want to go back. I want fighters.
