This is it. #Democrats have consistently capitulated us to this point by trying to compromise with a (R) party that has turned every given inch into miles of Overton window shifts further right. If (D)s want our votes, they need to earn them by having spines and being a true opposition party.

After literal decades of jerking our chain, it should be plainly obvious to everyone that the Democratic Party has NO plan to competently address fascism other than to competently plan their stock portfolios around it and send fundraising emails that turn OUR crises into profit-making opportunities.

They keep going the way they do, and they will.

...siblings, Wiccan or otherwise, and I hope the freedom you've found outside Christian constructs is everything for you that it's been for me. I believe in us. I believe in you. 🫂💙

No overshare. We're traumatized folks finding community where we can. When we all have it rough, it doesn't matter to me who has it worst. If it traumatized you, it was wrong and bad, and that's what I care about. Aside from being an atheist, I'm a Satanist. I have all the love for my Witch...

No one thought he could win once
No one thought he could win twice
No one believed he’d get away with it
No one believed he’d be on the ballot
No one accepted the grim reality
No one accepted he’d destroy humanity
No one was prepared for this
No one is stopping it

WE are the last line of defense

All part of the FOX Entertainment Network creation of news that isn’t true to feed their uneducated right wing audience.

What was done to Matthew 27 years ago still causes me and probably others to cry today.

He was beaten, tortured, tied to a fence and left for dead. He had only 2 spots on his face not covered in blood 🩸.

How could human beings be that cruel? They were this vicious, savage and sadistic.

It would reflect that we actually prioritize intellect over hate and create a culture of critical thinkers: two things (R)s can't stand.

Didn't have mold activism on my bingo card for the year.

Here you go:

Jordan Peterson diagnosed with chronic condition after exposure to mold

Peterson's daughter said her father has a "genetic predisposition that causes the immune system to have an inability to identify and detoxify mold."

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

...the centrists. It's a part of my disillusionment with (D) politicians. It hasn't been my way or the highway, but the more I talk to folks like you who want to tell me what my perspective should be without being willing to entertain what it is, the less I want to support the party.

...a conversation. And fwiw, as a trans woman and veteran, I'm the last person who needs a lecture about how my rights are under attack. They're under attack from (R)s, but they're also under attack from (D)s because whenever trans rights come up, (D)s dial back because they don't want to lose...

...all this anger at us when we aren't the ones who've been letting (R)s drag this country ever further right. I voted for Biden, too, and what was supremely frustrating was that (D)s took his win to mean that the left had finally unified and that their "messaging" worked. I'm plenty fine having...

First of all, know who you're talking to. I voted for Kamala because I recognized that some things were more important. The fact that I'm displeased with (D)s doesn't mean I don't have priorities. There are plenty of far leftists who did the same, and that's part of my point. You're projecting...

This is why I've been reminding the left that the @pinkpistols.bsky.social and #SocialistRifleAssociation exist. We have #2A rights and organizations, and I know for all our screaming about responsible gun ownership, we'll model that well. Now's the time for it. Kamala owns a gun. Don't forget that.

Me. Stephanopoulos isn't having any of VPotUS's bs today! Shot him tf down! 🤣 This brings me great joy.

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

VANCE: No, George, I sai--

...they didn't take a child seriously, nor did I have the words to describe what I was experiencing. Lemony Snicket's Series of Unfortunate Events is a cautionary tale of what happens to kids when adults don't take them seriously. Stop creating Baudelaire children in your churches.
