Exactly so.

afford to pay their fair share. They don't WANT to do that.

Jeff Bezos takes vanity trips to 'space' while his workers rely on SNAP benefits

Anything that erodes their power, they will fight

oh my god they actually did it lmao

What's especially funny here is, Trump has no idea how Congress works beyond "me tell sissies do this," and they frequently don't do it anyway (see failed 1st-term ACA "reform").

Incredibly funny to watch the right wing going Oh so just because I love money and hate poor people I'm a bad Christian according to "the pope"???

NYT: The Democrats Just Took a Big Step Toward Getting Their Groove Back Victories in New York City, New Jersey, Virginia and elsewhere were decisive, but new political tests loom for a party still rebuilding its brand.

Democrats swept every race yesterday by a bigger margin than expected, and the press story is apparently "Dems did well but there is still a lot to worry about." Needless to say that this is not how a massive Republican shift would be covered.

That's kind of the whole point of socialism. The core idea. Do good things instead of bad things. Democracy in the workplace. People over profits.

They could have said "we're the children should have food and houses and schools party". Instead they said "we're the children will explode" party

I think Dick Cheney’s death today highlighted this divide.

The Democrats who still say shit like “reach across the aisle” and praise evil people are playing to a political audience that no longer exists.

Mamdani wasn’t cruel to Cuomo in a Trumpism style, but he didn’t concede anything either.

What’s wild is that Trump thought withholding SNAP benefits in defiance of the courts THE DAY OF THE ELECTION was smart politics. His theory of humanity - and it’s not always wrong - is that everyone is as much of a cruel scumbag as he is. I’m glad that for one night people told him to get f***ed.

Democrats finally get to celebrate, yet questions remain about the party's path forward. Here are key takeaways from Tuesday's results. now

Media orgs are confused and upset about last nights Democratic wins.

I don’t recall a “questions remain” after Trump or GOP wins.

Here's hoping the ICE and DHS thugs get a chill, despair-filled sense of how much we despise them, and start calling in sick.

It's probably too much to ask for the despair to make them genuinely sick, but they're spineless and weak-willed so it maybe could happen.

Nick Pettigrew @Nick_Pettigrew Polio was eradicated because Jonas Salk chose not to patent the vaccine, if you want a perfect example of a socialist act. Quote Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63 · Jun 24 Socialism is like polio, it comes back when people forget about the horrible damage it did last time.

REMINDER: A socialist act by a New Yorker was a major reason why polio was eliminated in the US.

This is definitely true, and the people who run the Democratic Party know it. The unresolved contradiction is that the Democratic Party exists mostly to prevent that from ever happening.

The billionaires can buy the newspapers and buy social media and buy attack ads, but they can't buy their way out of how much we fucking hate all of them.

This election suggests something interesting: the massive local GOP losses says the bad Democratic Party brand is salvageable, *if* the Third Way-style accommodationists are boxed out of leadership. Voters want to fight Trump and will support a pretty wide range of candidates to do it.

ah, perhaps instead of pumping millions into endless factional infighting Dem donors could invest in making local Dem organizations genuine civic spaces that can reach people during and between elections

UPDATE: The supermajority has officially been broken: bsky.app/profile/asht...

you can win without billionaires supporting you

you can win without party leadership endorsing you

you can win unapologetically standing with every persecuted minority pundits say are too politically toxic to touch

we could do everything about this process differently if we wanted to

if democrats are serious about winning they need to learn from tonight and convert to islam

The lesson here is have good principles and stand on them. Stand for something that isn't power!

Dick Cheney would have loved this

One of our country's greatest war criminals just died, the president is arguing with himself about whether or not to let 40 million people starve, and there is an actual courtroom drama about a five dollar footlong.

How are any of us supposed to maintain emotional regulation.

RIP Dick Cheney you would have loved the election of the first Muslim woman to hold statewide office in America

Looking forward to learning all about how the right should move left to win elections tomorrow. They should maybe dye their hair pink, learn to love pronouns.
