The flaw in America is always racism.

I truly believe that when a majority of White America puts racism and inequality firmly in our past, we will fulfill the promise of America.

Good example of why I respectfully disagree with those who think bodycams are useless or actively harmful. In the last 13 months we have repeatedly seen bodycam footage refute ICE/CBP officers' flagrant lies, sometimes even exonerating protesters falsely accused of assault. slate.com/news-and-pol...

The SAVE America Act would impose outrageous voter suppression requirements on American citizens.

One example: married women who take their spouse’s name & whose last name may not match their birth certificate. Do they not get to vote?

This bill is DOA in the Senate.

Jamie you mean white with no accomplishments. I mean David Hogg has pretty much admitted as long as you are white, have a penis preferably & repeat bullshit talking points fed to you by other mediocre white men that makes you "electable."🙄
"Electability" has become a weapon used against candidates who don't fit a certain mold. @colinallredtx.bsky.social and I are unpacking this issue and why Texas—and America—deserves better. Don't miss this important conversation.

*looks over at Senate news*

*sees Schumer leading a united caucus voting against a DHS funding bill that doesn’t give what we asked for, as he said he would*

*sees John do his consistent “I won’t vote for a shutdown” vote*

*sees everyone attacking the hell out of Schumer for winning*

So much this
Also file under "activists are financially incentivized never to achieve victory" and the left is first and foremost an activist group.

They need every day to be horrible because then they remain relevant.

That's why they fight Democrats more than Republicans. Normalcy is bad for membership.

Pissed off white people with money and power are openly fucking all of us, as we stand helpless, because they control the systems too.
Power was intentionally given to people who were never trustworthy.

Every word of this thread:
if you look in the mirror and see a white face staring back at you, you are not the base of the democratic party.

you can, if you choose to be, be part of the democratic party. i know this to be true, simply because i am an example of that

@occupydemocrats.bsky.social felt the need to identify Les Wexner as Jewish

Are we now adding religion & ethnicity to everyone everywhere or just when Jewish?

Also, with all the men named in the Epstein files, the majority aren't ✡️ or connected to 🇮🇱 and yet, that keeps being said.

Well, this remains relevant.

Super enjoyed the Bob Dylan quote to lead off!
In addition to ripping Hegseth to shreds and ruling for Sen Kelly, Judge Leon communicates a sort of direct popular outrage with different unusual stylistic passages in his opinion, including the line from Subterranean Homesick Blues "you dont need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows."

This opinion is a banger, replete with exclamation points, and even a "horsefeathers!". What a pleasure to read judges defending the Constitution as the ultimate public interest!

It’s the fckn audacity of this demographic to make a video targeting Hakeem Jeffries and the yt man platforming it because he was too cowardly to say it himself. Quit Blaming Hakeem! Target your own skin folk with your disgust & faux outrage. They’re the ones who gambled on Nov 5th and lost.
