Today, local authorities confirmed the victims of the Stockton shooting were just 8, 9, 14, and 21 years old — and that the attack was likely targeted. Our hearts break for their families and the entire Stockton community.
America HATES its children. HATES them. We let them get slaughtered at schools, stores, and birthday parties. We think educating them wastes money that could go to deserving billionaires, instead of being an investment in our future. Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds even refused funds to FEED children. HATES
Imagine how much more we could retire, if billionaires like yourself stepped up. A $1B donation would retire $100B in medical debt. Get a friend to match your donation, and we could retire almost all medical debt by our 250th birthday. And you'd STILL be a billionaire. unduemedicaldebt.org

Newsom is an obsolete style of Dem.
We need a new style of Dem – or someone else, if no Dem is up to the task – for this era of crises. Those who see clearly and lead boldly. We need HUNDREDS of them, not just one. We need to stop fixating on the top of the heap to the exclusion of all else.

Surprising, as some of these voters identify as Independents.
And this was interestingly unanimous— and not being that well reflected yet in the offerings from actual Dem politicians. Word to the wise

Excellent point.
The drunk uncle theory.
You don’t argue with the casually homophobic uncle at Thanksgiving dinner to change his mind; you argue so that the closeted cousin at the kids table knows there’s safe people and better possibilities out there

agree with this (hah) but also think a particular mistake the left made for a long time online, and still makes to an extent, is failing to understand that the person whose mind you may actually change is the one reading the argument you're having, not the one you're arguing with

I still think the best way to think of the ending of US AID is as the single worst genocide committed by any one US presidential administration.
even given all the horrific things the US has done, it's not really that close. 750k dead already; expected 14 million.

this is exactly why I am absolutely not willing to overlook anyone who was once “advocating for ending USAID” as merely committing a little oopsie-daisy-booboo, by the way
The Project 2025 author is using millions of dollars in USAID money for his own security detail.
It is estimated that 762,000 people have *already died* as a result of Elon Musk and Russell Vought’s obscene murder of USAID, including more than 500,000 children.
Vought is a mass murderer.
