Democrats sweep to local election victories | Chester County Press In what amounted to a good old-fashioned drubbing, the Democratic Party fared exceptionally well in the election held on Nov. 4.

Little ego boost of seeing your name in the local paper after the election? Check. www.chestercounty.com/2025/11/12/5...

JCO is proof that you can in fact be uncancellable. She'll post problematic or cringe opinions and ppl will denounce her, but then she'll drop an atom bomb, usually on Elon or Rowling etc, and thusly she has remained a beloved poasters' mascot

One of the biggest pop culture crimes of the modern era was #Westworld not being allowed to finish its full narrative.

Republicans were overwhelmingly getting blamed for the shutdown.
There was no reason for the Democrats to cave to Trump on healthcare, except for the fact that they are wholly owned and operated by the health insurance lobby.

listen up, Republicans: the correct answer to ‘how much Nazi is the right amount of Nazi’ is, of course, ZERO NAZI.

Nazism is repugnant, and everything Nazis stood for should be rejected. I can’t believe I even have to explain this to you shitwits. we fought a whole fucking war about this, remember?

WHY THE FUCK ARE REPUBLICAN DUMB-ASSES ARGUING OVER JUST HOW MUCH NAZISM IS AN ACCEPTABLE AMOUNT OF NAZISM WITHIN THEIR OWN PARTY? SPOILER ALERT: IT'S BECAUSE REPUBLICANS FUCKING SUCK, THAT'S WHY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO MY POST. LINK IS HERE: bit.ly/4otbkDN

it’s nighttime in America. our government has been shuttered for a month. millions of Americans have just lost their jobs, and millions more just lost their assistance benefits. prices of goods and services keep rising with no end in sight, and the cost of healthcare is about to skyrocket.

We the People are hurting — badly.

meanwhile, down in his vulgar Florida golf motel, a 34-criminal-count narcoleptic fart factory is hosting a party for his rich fuckwad friends who get off on destroying everything around them.

the theme of the party? some book about rich fuckwads who get off on destroying everything around them.

Fresh Market

I have a very small reach but if anyone in the Columbus, OH area and knows of someone in need of fresh groceries, please refer them to The All People's Fresh Market here.

Families can get food from them once a day, every day that they're open:

People should not act surprised, especially the right wing and anyone who voted for Trump.

We warned them. They did not listen. And now they choose to forget.

Don't let them.
