I like NASA, people with empathy, & science/exploration in general. Climate change should be everyone's #1 policy issue, because it makes every other policy issue worse. Please enable people that trust scientists, women, and a reality based upon facts.

The real danger of people like Trump is that they undermine the truth. Why is that bad? Without experts we die. You don't want that. The Great Leap Forward famine is a great example of this. Have courage or you will regret it. To be anything but courageous in this moment is to enable death.

White people who couldn't vote for the nice Black lady have told us they don't care about marginalized people at all. I have a long memory, and I will never forgive this. Never.

It was the most obvious choice in US history. Choose to continue a flawed system put in place in the wake of WW2 that benefits everyone on earth. Or destroy everything for no good reason.

2028 is a million years from now in political time & the political landscape has changed so much, will likely change so much more by 2028 that anyone saying they know shit. Doesn't actually know shit.

Republicans expected the economy to get better. Lol

Correct. Joe Biden was the most pro-labor President in US history, most pro-consumer President in US history, only President to do anything real about climate change, invested in infastructure. Nobody fucking cared because the truth didn't matter.

Robert W. Copeland - Wikipedia

In moments like this I remember Robert W. Copeland. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_... He faced much stiffer odds than we do & he fought anyway, the only thing stopping us from winning is us being cowards.

Bernie could have learned from 2016, won over black people. Instead he tried to bypass them by running up the score in California. Didn't work, and his supporters still cry "rigged". Stripping black people of their agency to tell Bernie Sanders repeatedly to fuck off.

Lets be real though. A lot of white progressives enabled Trumpism too. By not listening to their non-white neighbors in the South. I mean hell, Bernie Sanders enabled Tulsi Gabbard. Bernie Sanders enabled John Fetterman. Does anyone care? Nope.

Yeah, unless you have courage in this moment you will be remembered like Neville Chamberlain. Also much of the damage we will be living with for decades to come. The best case scenario is that we save as much as possible but the only way that happens is if we fight back with everything we have.

USAID cuts could lead to 14 million deaths over the next five years, researchers say An analysis published Monday in the medical journal The Lancet projects that cuts to the agency will lead to more deaths from diseases like AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis.

Between the destruction of USAID/gutting of NIH (No more cancer research). Millions are going to die: www.nbcnews.com/health/healt... It wouldn't have happened under Kamala. People like you enabled this death, take a good look. Nazi enabler.

What people in blue state atm should be doing is enabling their neighbors in the non-blue states at this moment (the one's that aren't Nazi's obviously). The biggest risk of inaction is that people will lose hope and give up. That's why we have to turn the tide this year.

Anyone saying it's helpless is not only a coward but they're actively enabling this admin. We are fucking Americans, historically we fight like hell for each other when we remember to work together for each other. These are small men, we can take'em!

Also, a good rule of thumb. The people in power that want to oppress you, want you to feel helpless. Such people enable these people.

This is why as an American I've not only encouraged the boycotts by Canada and our allies, but support the stupid tariffs because the only way out of this mess is pain. Either way it's going to be painful, but the question is whether it's going to be fatal. Pain now saves us in the long-run.

The world will get better, how do I know that for sure? When people start dying because of a virus, vaccination rates tend to go up: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... People live in a world built upon misinformation right until they watch others smack into a wall called reality.

Nope. The time between now and 2028 is a million years in politics. He will be out of office after next year. Lots of fighting to do between now and 2026, let alone now and 2028. We as a people are bleeding and dying, we don't have the luxury to think about the future until we stabilize the patient.

It's very simple, you cannot build an economy that works without respecting humanity. They don't. The tragic thing is this time everyone saw it coming a mile away. Well, anyone with a brain. From 9 months ago or so.

Always has been. I don't want to see a single goddamn person ever say that Republicans are good for the fucking economy again. You can't be good for the economy without having humanity, because people spend money when the government isn't stepping on their goddamn neck and trying to kill them.

I would say people who live in non-blue states understood the assignment last year too. Especially black people in the South who have always been living with fascism but white people don't want to listen to no black women.

Anyone who is anti-immigrant is a moron, because native people don't want to do this work. Thus this meme which is like 20 years old at least.

What I hate most about a certain subset of the left is how much they act like people without agency. Something something primary elections. IE: Those elections most Americans don't vote in.

I mean, if people are thinking seriously about 2026, or 2028. They're kind of putting the cart before the horse. We have this year to turn the tide to have a fighting chance, and while I think we'll get there because of the economy going to shit. Talking about 2026/2028 doesn't help

I hate everyone that didn't understand what a fucking tariff is last year, this was all predictable. ALL OF IT. They hid nothing, wrote everything fucking down and people still said "You're overreacting!"

I hate everyone that didn't understand what was at stake last election. Every single person who didn't say clear "VOTE FOR KAMALA" if you like science, facts, human decency because the alternative is the end of civilization as we know it for nothing! Throwing it all away for nothing!

Can't believe people don't get this; but the reason this payment processor shit has to be all or nothing is because once these freaks establish a line on what fiction is or isn't okay the line will only move further and further in. You have to fight against the line entirely.

It's maddening is that so many people still don't understand that we cannot wait until November 2026, we cannot wait until November 2028. The tide needs to turn this year for us to have a fighting chance. Now, I do think we're going to get there but it's because the economy is going to go to shit.

Joe Biden was the most progressive President in US history. Most labor friendly President in US history, most consumer friendly President in US history. Inflation was forcasted to come down. Yet nobody cared, and then everyone enabled a guy that will set back the progressive movement decades

Joe Biden did his best to fix the first mess Trump made, and nobody cared. Why would anyone want to be the next President of the United States that isn't a grifter? People who actually govern aren't appreciated. You have to reward people for governing, and to be blunt we don't.
