If you think you are "helping" Democrats by constantly shitting on them you are a dumbfuck loser helping Republicans.
And if you don't like me calling you a dumbfuck loser, I remind you that you think withering attacks and criticism are "helping".

if you want healthcare and queer rights, you should probably vote for the party that has consistently supported both for (just guessing here) your entire life, even if they haven’t gone as far as you want yet.
“the libs will sell you out” is ratfucking, plain and simple.

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
The secret to engaging in social media debate is knowing you will never win anyone over. The best you can hope for is to have people who already agree with tell you you're awesome. You might great a dopamine thrill from the righteousness of your anger! Fine benefits, all. But you will never win.

Environmental advocates, scientists, and community members say the new ammonia plants would delay the phase-out of fossil fuels — and bring substantial air pollution and safety risks to places that have long borne the health costs of America’s industrial economy.
Louisiana bets big on "blue ammonia." Communities along Cancer Alley brace for the cost.
Carbon capture hasn’t delivered major climate benefits—and the plants would still emit thousands of tons of pollution.

If we had a functional justice system, Trump and Vance would be rotting in a jail cell for inciting bomb threats and terror against the Haitian immigrants in Springfield with their blood libel about pet-eating. It's absurd that that kind of incitement isn't a crime.

It is so dehumanizing and violating to produce imitations of people’s voices without their affirmative consent. That shouldn’t even be legal, and even with user consent it should be opt-in and not opt-out.
Discovered today that Instagram had turned on (without my opt-in) automatic AUDIO translation of any reel that shows up in my feed not in English USING AI TO MIMIC THE SPEAKER’S VOICE and WOW it was creepy and upsetting.
You can turn it off in “Language & Translations” in Settings. 🙅🏻♀️

There is no drawdown. There is no retreat. ICE is just redistributing their assets to better avoid accountability.
The same day DHS announced the surge would end in Minnesota, ICE activity increased in small towns
The less densely populated areas outside the Twin Cities make it harder for protesters and observers to organize.
