Should we talk about Greg Abbott's role in the Texas floods?
He cut state funding for flood mitigation projects despite repeated disasters. In 2017 and again in 2020, Abbott’s administration underutilized federal disaster mitigation funds and delayed disbursement to local communities.

Correct.
The common tactic we can see in the last ten years is that mixed-race politicians who claim Black international/ or African heritage are "not really Black" -- so as to dissuade Black Americans from supporting them.
See Obama, Harris, Mamdani.
Clockwork. Nasty work.

Taking a hard look at the upcoming midterms: The Democrats are facing a bloodbath and the GOP got their dream map.
2026 is going to be a rough year for Dems.
Historically, youth and minority voting falls off during midterms.

In this moment, the stakes are too high for division masquerading as principle. Liberals and leftists are not enemies in this moment.
The real opposition is a rising tide of authoritarianism. Anti-democratic, anti-worker, anti-human.

Gavin Newsom said his 13 year old was being influenced by far right podcasters… so Newsom created his own podcast to have them on and be friends with them. Incredible example being set. We are so cooked

just to clarify for the zillionth time: the reason that "the democrats" are not standing up in any significant way for trans people while the republicans try to kill us is because they also hate us and want us to die!

“Those nasty Canadians are ripping us off and are controlled by Mexican cartels. They’re poisoning us with fentanyl and need to become the 51st state or they will pay a high price” is a belief that literally ZERO Americans had six weeks ago. It’s entirely invented from scratch.

One thing I'm fucken sick of hearing is that people on the poverty line "don't want handouts."
Well, the rich take hand outs. Maybe they're rich bc they were offered handouts. Maybe they're rich bc they take them.
This "shame in receiving free money" for the poor but not the rich makes me SO MAD
