Centrists are about to show more distress over Charlie Kirk’s death than the murder of innocent children in Palestine.

Breaking: Chuck Schumer pledges his support for Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill, saying Democrats need to focus on compromise*

*Except on Israel.

@booker.senate.gov I guess that sit-in protest wasn’t really something you cared about, considering you then went and voted for Trump’s nominee immediately after. Gotta work with the fascists when we can, amirite?

Empty words, telling actions. You aren’t opposed to Trump, you just want our votes.

Not a Catholic, and I suspect Catholicism has been more harmful than good throughout history, but I still wish Pope Francis the best, whatever that is. He was a force for good, and the world is better for having him. Rest In Peace.

One difference between the Democratic and Republican Party now, is that I can at least say what Republicans stand for. I know they are anti-immigration, anti-trans, pro-tax cut, etc. Meanwhile, there is not a single policy I can think of where Democrats present any sort of unified approach.

In the coming weeks, when Trump dismantles more of the federal government, this time with explicit legal authority, Chuck Schumer voted to allow him to do so because he didn’t want Trump to illegally do the same thing.

Chuck Schumer: “We have to give Trump complete control of the budget, including the ability to fire federal employees on his whim like he wants, or else he’ll… *checks notes* fire federal workers.

An absolute embarrassment for Democratic leadership, but about what I’ve come to expect.

@schiff.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov I have supported Democrats up until now in the face of Trump, but if you vote to pass a CR that enables him to simply ignore Congress and reallocate money as he pleases, I will be voting against you at every level of election. Hold firm.

Sean about to take the lead if he can find a fourth speech.

Somehow Sean Baker, who has won three awards tonight, spent less time on speeches than Adrien Brody. #Oscars

the most beneficial effect of many boycotts is on yourself

'but that won't hurt company x' is often irrelevant

I'm taking back some agency
I'm aligning my actions with my beliefs
I feel better for it

that's good enough

in fact, imo it's better than punishment as a motive

To embrace patriotism would require there be something about this country to be proud of. If the Democrats want to fully embrace becoming Republican-lite, I’m done with trying to convince others to vote for them as the lesser of two evils. Hopefully these ghouls are ignored.

The left is simultaneously so powerful that it can tank a campaign by not showing up to vote and also so marginal that no politician should ever bother attempting to win their votes.

Republicans really embraced the concept of “tyranny of the majority” as soon as they won a plurality, conveniently ignoring their opposite stance for every election since 2008.

Honestly, the strangest part about learning more about USAID is discovering that some of my tax dollars actually went towards helping people instead of enriching billionaires.

So the US is full and can’t handle immigrants, but now we’re opening our arms to white people from South Africa? Not even hiding the white supremacism.

Paying for subscriptions to news organizations is now considered government corruption by MAGA. Do they think the government shouldn’t know about current news?

Trick question, Trump supporters don’t think.

Is anyone surprised that the attacker in Sweden was a neofascist?

When are we going to wake up&treat domestic terrorism from neofascists the same as Islamic terrorists?

If an imam called for terror in a mosque, he'd have the police at his door.

So should the damn fascisr podcasters
&politicos.

I wonder if Zionists will still claim Israel isn’t committing a genocide now that they’ve admitted the goal is to remove all Palestinians?

You don’t get to say you believe in meritocracy while voting for RFK Jr. to run healthcare.

Their own courts stated that it happened, that the prison where it happened was abusing prisoners systematically, and multiple people were arrested for it. Which, credit where credit is due, means their legal system isn’t blindly willing to condone illegal activity.

Proportional does not mean “exactly equal.” If you’re going to accuse other people of reading issues, you should avoid displaying ignorance as to the basic meaning of words. And if you think nuking Toronto would be justified, we disagree on a fundamental level about revenge for its own sake.
