having your city noticed by the president is now a natural disaster on par with a hurricane or major flood

Speculation isn't always healthy, so take this with a grain of salt.

I think it may be an effort to hide something that might be seen from the air. Something bad. One reason they might have lifted the closure is that they were able to hide or "resolve" the issue.

I understand the feeling—especially based on signaling from congressional dems. But there are still people who care. I care. We're all still watching and organizing and contributing. We know it's not over.

America could be so much cooler if our anti-colonial identity were embraced as mainstream. Fuck empire. Fuck Columbus. Fuck the monarchy.

No son, they are not "magically delicious." The workers made them delicious. This is a slogan meant to mystify the social conditions of labor

Call it copium, but I think dems could win the House and Senate in 2026.

We've just given up trying to prevent you from committing the CRIME of doing things differently!

That's just RFK

Authoritarian regimes make you feel like shit because they will never admit they’re losing.

But Trump is losing — and it’s because of the organizing work you’re doing.

Reminding and educating our neighbors on the signs of Fascism.

The Congress is complicit in crimes against humanity. Let them know that you know. Let them know that there will be trials.

I swear to god they're gonna run John Fetterman in 2028. With McConnell as VP.

I find myself agreeing with plenty of what you're saying, but I still think that posts like the original, while maybe emotionally satisfying, are generally unproductive.

The establishment can't really scold people into voting for them. Better to look at messaging and policy. We can do better.

Every day, my friend. First thought that enters my mind when I wake.

Actually, I'd say entitlement to rule and hostility to criticism for the ordained candidate are principles of the right wing.

I also find it hilarious that merely fostering a critical thought is crime enough in your eyes to have me lumped in with the right. I don’t sufficiently love Harris enough.

My problem is that this narrative of the "Gaza non-voter" is damaging (as well as generally untrue). It's harmful to coalition building. I see it frequently. I even understand the place it comes from, emotionally. I see great risks to perpetuating it, though, such as running bad candidates in 2028.

Lmao thanks for that. I help organize events of 500+ people in my local town protecting immigrants and setting up for midterms. Enjoy your fanfic tho.

Same here. Hard to see! Doesn't help anybody.

It's not him, but the symbolism is still significant!

Do you have access to their voting records? If not, I'd categorize this under privileged, entitled, liberal screeching. It's out of touch and unproductive.

Honestly you should do your best to ignore these guys. Their whole contribution to politics is exasperated cynicism and left-bashing. It can't be their mid candidate underperforming. It can only be our fault. Meanwhile, I vote in every election and organize with pro-democracy groups. This guy posts.

Just want to point out that this guy is just writing fan-fiction now. I've voted dem in every election I've been eligible to vote in. At the same time, I've criticized bad policy. You should be able to do both in a democratic society.

She ran with republican messaging and proposed no policies to address genocide in Gaza or the economic crisis at home. The "joyful warrior" may sound great, but it doesn't drive turnout. People want a reason to vote for her. I wanted one, too. We can be both pragmatic and critical.

I keep seeing this narrative where uninspiring candidates are owed fealty by voters like some hostage situation. I didn't like Kamala's campaign. I voted for her. I have plenty of lefty friends who voted for her. If we're criticizing a candidate, it may be because we want them to do/say good things.

Both knees, I think.

The authoritarian right has no culture—and must steal, appropriate, or suppress culture. Without real cultural power, it fails to convince the people, and must instead rule with force and lies. But lies erode with time and education, and force is never sufficient to keep people quiet. Love wins.

The Turning Point USA halftime show makes it clear: our multicultural society is keeping us from watching a guy dressed kinda like Ben Franklin play the violin not particularly well

The owner of the Seahawks IS NOT in the Epstein Files.

Robert Kraft is.

GO SEAHAWKS.

Do you like field goals? Do you like absolutely nothing but field goals? If so, has the NFL got a game for you

OK "god bless america" and then naming every country in the americas from south to north is absolute king shit
