AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.

"It is ridiculous that antifa has become this boogeyman. If they're going to tell us they are going to find the founder of Antifa, isn't the founder of Antifa...Winston Churchill? FDR? Didn't they lead a war against fascism? Wasn't that anti-fascism?" - me

He gives $20 Billion of OUR dollars to bailout Argentina without consulting Congress or the American people. Does that seem like the actions of a KING to you?

I thought they said it was wrong for an administration to ask a social media platform to take stuff down.

This. Republicans do this ALL THE TIME. Anytime they find a camera they’ll throw in, “Democrats are in your kids’ school cutting off their little genitals,” regardless of what they’re talking about. Why can’t Democrats be bothered to mention things that are ACTUALLY happening.

Same.

Sure they need to have consistent messaging, but ignoring what is happening in our cities is just cowardly lame ass shit.

I am not an expert partisan communicator or anything but for months, it was weird to me how so many Dem leaders and key figures just didn’t tack on things like “… while using armed troops to invade american cities, and using your tax dollars to fund a secret police terrorizing your town” even as…

It’s time to abandon the idea of chasing after “swing voters.”

We gotta start targeting the angry. Those who have been failed by the system. Those who are being screwed every day despite giving it their all.

AZ AG Mayes: If I have to, I’ll take Speaker Johnson to court. There's no legitimate reason for him to refuse to swear her in right now. And it's not fair for Mike Johnson to be holding the state of Arizona hostage because he doesn't want to release the Epstein files.

If they go after Smith, would that evidence be disclosed in the case—and become public?

Really sad that the Vice President can’t just say the texts are bad and troubling and condemn them and lead for once - and instead feels the need to deflect and run cover for it and signal to young republicans that it’s actually no big deal.

But Trump just gave Argentina $20 billion
That’s 20,000,000.00 USD

Stevens: There’s $1.3 trillion of credit card debt. There are people putting grocery bills on credit cards and then paying interest on them. We are in an affordability crisis. Coffee is up 20%, beef is up 16%, bacon is up over 10%. And now we’re going to see health care costs skyrocket.

They’re not coming for the most dangerous or violent. They are abducting people at their jobs, calling them in for fake check-ins to meet their daily quotas, and kidnapping US citizens.

They’re coming to tear apart our communities. The cruelty is the point.
