Gavin Newsom’s psychotic drive to ban homeless encampments pushing fringe rightwing media to advocate for the homeless in opposition is not something I had on my 2025 bingo card.

a minor quibble in the grand scheme of things but one of the most gd enraging things about republican hogs is how they all mindlessly parrot back a designated word or phrase of the day in every conversation going forward whilst thinking it makes them so gd witty for doing so.

nothing as humbling as one’s optometrist starting one’s eye appt with, “it’ll soon be time to start thinking about bifocals”

really enjoying playing somerville, which has a fantastic art style and is so seemingly simple but poignant. however must only give it 1/10 bc you cannot pet the dog, which is literally the #1 rule of having a cute animal in any video game

look i’m happy to see the actual(ish) left getting re-energized by aoc and bernie, but i really wish we would stop trying to find another idol to worship and started focusing on coalition building and mutual aid.

so many people reply to the latest breaking news on what trump and his cult followers are planning to do next like “that’s not going to happen bc it’s illegal” and my brother in christ, do you think they give a fuck?

my hot take is that until we can change this two-party structure, we must fight to purge the democratic party of these neoliberal centrist ghouls. they do not work for the working class. they work for their wealthy donors. if allowed in, they, like capitalism itself, will always corrupt and usurp.

never liked Gavin Newsom, but he played his hand all wrong. he could have leaned into being lib Darth Vader and ran on a platform of revenge and really gotten some excitement behind him but instead he's choosing to simply be a milquetoast Dem who happens to be evil in his spare time

It turns out when more people get to learn how sociopathic Gavin Newsom actually is, this understandably happens
Gavin Newsom sees 10-point net drop in favorability since launching his podcast. Survey finds "the podcast only made 13% of voters have an improved perception of the Governor, with 26% saying that it harmed their perception."

Gov. Gavin Newsom's new podcast has sent shockwaves through California's political world. But is there more to Newsom's efforts than meets the eye?

This asshole has repeatedly betrayed his constituents. Get rid of him, PA.
My YES vote is *not* an endorsement of this deeply flawed CR.

My YES vote is 💯 about refusing to shut our government down.

I refuse to punish working families and plunge millions of Americans into chaos.
 
I will never, ever, ever, ever, ever vote to shut our government down.

whether they’re retiring or not this should be the last term for each of them
The final tally to advance the CR is 62-38.

The Democrats who voted for cloture, giving Donald Trump everything he wants:

Cortez Masto (NV)
Durbin (IL)

Ah yes, the “good billionaire”
these are our party leaders now, ignore all other opinions
March 15, 2025 at 3:46 PM
please for the love of god, people, vote out these fascist-enabling cowards. but also never let them know a moments peace until then.
Cloture has met the 60 votes to pass in the senate with the help of at least 9 Democrats: Schumer, Fetterman, Hassan, Cortez Masto, Durbin, Gillibrand, Shaheen, Schatz, and Peters.

They sold out our country to Trump and Elon. They're traitors to democracy.

such a marked change ay my company’s onsite this year where the usual bs about how we need to keep adding value to the company while they tighten the screws actually started pissing off my fellow white-collar workers.
