It was actually Democratic policians accepting funding a genocide, vilifying protesters, and Congress voting against recognizing international law that got us here.
Pray tell, what exactly is this "purity test" you speak of?
Israel and Palestine?
That's what got us in this shit we're in now. Where's THEIR "purity test?"
They allowed this administration to takeover so how "pure" are they?

Democratic voters have a decision to make in every primary, both in the midterms and in 2028.
Folks need to “purity test” candidates. Period.
Look at what policies candidates stand for and look at their donors.
This moment is not for politicians without a spine.

Q: Is it your posture to put restrictions on ICE as a condition for funding DHS?
JEFFRIES: Renee Good should be alive. There was no justification. There are common sense measures that need to put in place so ICE can conduct itself in manner at least consistent w/ every other law enforcement agency

That Grok still has payment processing, when everyone I know — artist or gamer or adult creator —lives in constant fear of deplatforming and debanking over the mere hint of impropriety, is utterly mind-blowing.
Some Grok users, mostly men, began to demand to see bruising on the bodies of the women, and for blood to be added to the images. Requests to show women tied up and gagged were instantly granted.
