Yaaaaaas!!!!
I’m running for Congress in NY-12, my home.

We have a demented, criminal president running the country like a mob operation—government by the boss, for the boss.

We need Democratic fighters who will defend the rule of law and deliver government by the people. Join us.

And please, PLEASE let us not forget that time in 2023 when Karen Smith was elected President of the school board in Bucks County, Pa and swore her oath on a stack of banned books. The most gangsta oath ever! Just brilliant. www.edweek.org/leadership/t...
This School Board President Took Her Oath on a Stack of Contested Books. Here's Why
The school board for Central Bucks County, Pa., has been at the center of divisive political debates.

Issa Rae has canceled her sold out performance at the Kennedy Center. Pulitzer Prize winner Rhiannon Giddens, Peter Wolf, Low Cut Connie, and the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, D.C., have also canceled. Lin-Manuel Miranda has canceled the entire Kennedy Center run of Hamilton.

Next time someone says they don’t have to apologize for being white anymore, ask them to tell about the most recent time they were forced to apologize for being white and who made them do it.

Such need for validation 🙄
And again, the problem isn't that white men are having trouble getting published now. They're more published than ever.

The problem is, it's harder for them to be celebrated for it now.

The problem was there at the start of the article that set me off. The problem is the applause.

Because they’re at core grifters and only looking for an opportunity to get something out of it. No one actually cares about anyone in that universe.

Angry. Unhinged. Too many lies to count.

The President is not well.

And his failed policies sure as hell aren’t making life easier for you.

Testicles are extra. Explains a lot about congress, they must just be frugal.

(Also, not sure where Oz has been looking, but he's way off on the costs, too)
Dr Oz: "The creation of a penis costs on average in America $150,000 per child ... if you add testicles, that's extra"

CNN has a show with a similar line. That the problem with this country is we just aren’t talking to each other.

It’s the kind of diagnosis that a toddler would land on.

What this underscores is a fundamental truth that while none of the rest of us need supremacists in our spaces, and are just fine without them, supremacists need the rest of us or they collapse against each other. Without them we're fine. Without us they've got nothing.
Elon's little serfs are quite literally begging journalists to come back because every publicly available source of data shows people have fled the platform and young people won't use it.

They are literally begging regular people to come back. Don't do it! It is a website by and for actual Nazis!

Gosh, why are the Democrats so unpopular with young people? Let's try taking another (goose)step to the right and see if that helps.
Poor dumb young people; indoctrinated by the evidence of their eyes and ears; living in a bubble of what is actually happening instead of here in the real world of billionaire donor events and funder dinners.
Hillary Clinton blames TikTok and “totally made up” videos for young people’s views on Israel and Palestine.

She says social media influenced “not just the usual suspects” but also “young Jewish Americans who don’t know the history and don’t understand.”

Difficult to remember in the moment, but if you have the thug straddling you trying to cuff you. Start yelling "OH my god, do you have an erection! Get this pervert off me. This guy has a boner, WTF!"
the one part of this awful video I found inspiring is the moment when the cam pans back and you see an array of upstanding Americans with their smartphones out filming these gutter thugs. that's really the symbol of the opposition. the smartphone and its embedded video cam.
Here’s a disturbing video from Evanston of a federal agent hitting a man on the ground as people yell that he can’t breathe.

President Trump has called for Democrats to be executed for sedition. The voters expect Democrats to come to the table with a real counter-proposal and negotiate a mutually acceptable compromise. That’s doing politics the right way.

We are where we are because of all the Democratic Party leaders in my life like Clinton, Biden, Obama, Schumer, and Pelosi choosing to align more and more with the GOP, Zionism, and right-wing fascism over the democratic socialists in THEIR OWN PARTY who organize, fundraise, and vote for them.
