Most of the people claiming to be pro-Palestinian and anti-genocide have no problem supporting genocide of LGBTQ Americans. Black Americans, disabled Americans, and female Americans. No, you can't prove me wrong. Didn't vote for Kamala Harris? You voted for Trump and can fuck all the way off.

The president must follow the Constitution. If he wants to push the boundaries, we’ll hold the line in court.

This is America. The U.S. military has no place in our streets.

Portland is peaceful. There is no reason to deploy National Guard here.

Mike Johnson’s abrupt closure of the House had more to do with stalling a congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation than previously reported, and it appears to have been a direct response to the Treasury’s surrender of Epstein’s financial records.

SCOOP: Johnson closed House hours after Congress received Epstein’s financial records

The decision to shut down the House — and by extension the government — came hours after the Oversight Committee received documents from the US Treasury.

Some random Republican tried to come for me in the Halls of Congress.

Democrats have voted repeatedly to reopen the government, and prevent 15 million Americans from losing their health care and premiums from skyrocketing for millions more.

Republicans voted against it each time.

Yes, facts are stubborn things.

So, as you can see, if you wonder why Dems aren’t doing this or that, you’re asking the wrong question, the right questions is “WHICH Dems are doing this or that, so I can find them and amplify them.”

Why doesn’t the DNC care about the South?

@democrats.org Just announced a six figure investment in the MS special elections next month. We don’t do well, at all, in MS state races. So this is HUGE. mississippitoday.org/2025/10/02/n...

It’s nice watching people amplifying more and more Dems fighting back, but I still get comments asking why they aren’t talking about this thing or that thing, and I just sight and say “they are, it’s just not being amplified.

I’m so tired of these MAGA-enabling doomposting Do Something assholes.

They are why we don’t have cohesion. They are why we can’t mount an opposition in the streets.

There is no more appropriate word than, simply, “deplorable.”

Life is too short to follow academics who say that Trump is better than Biden on Gaza. You can think Biden was horrible on Gaza, but if you think Trump is better than Biden you are not a serious thinker.

I hate to disappoint y’all but there’s a reason we keep rejecting her for higher offices in CA.

It has nothing to do with her being a woman or a progressive. It has everything to do with her being awful.
