The bottom half of America? It holds just 6%.

Actually, it's exactly the duty of an artist. To take a stand through their art.
"Any artist cancelling their show at the Trump Kennedy Center over political differences isn't courageous or principled—they are selfish, intolerant, and have failed to meet the basic duty of a public artist: to perform for all people"- Kennedy Center spokesperson Roma Daravi
Kennedy Center vows to sue musician who canceled performance over Trump name change
The Kennedy Center is planning legal action after jazz musician Chuck Redd canceled an annual holiday concert. Redd pulled out after President Trump's name appeared on the building.

[screaming at the top of my lungs, once again] the fundamental technology of humanity is care
We didn't survive and thrive as a species because we had warriors or hunters - pretty much every omnivore can manage that.
We did so because we developed Grandmothers, and domesticated Dogs.
Community is what defines us as a species, and every "self-reliant" libertarian shitweasel be damned.

"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Bad framing: ACIP voted to scrap the universal hepatitis B vaccine recommendation for newborns.
Accurate framing: Anti-vax conspiracy theorists appointed to ACIP by Robert Kennedy Jr., who made a fortune as an anti-vax profiteer, voted to expose babies to a preventable, incurable, deadly illness.

The fact that Dems have to pander to a base that - at least in theory - believes it is fighting Fascists tells you all you need to know about why Democrats are so far an ineffective opposition.
If they really believed they were up against Nazis, anyone who is "not-Nazi" would get their vote.

Except your suggestions would make the party even *less* popular among the base while looking incredibly fake to “independents” and Republicans who think every Democrat is a blood-drinking pedophile.

Today’s message to my reps:
I still have yet to hear from you about how it is acceptable for the information about people who were involved with Jeffery Epstein to remain unknown to the public. Do you not agree with PA Rep. Perry that this information should be brought to light?

Local Police Dept. is hiring. Minimum requirement is Diploma or GED. I am a teacher. Minimum requirement is a bachelors at least…. I’m sorry, but why aren’t cops required to have higher ed? I mean I can guess why, but I’m still annoyed.

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee:
“Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”
