The Dems are using the “Thoughts and Prayers” strategy. WEAK.

"Don't become the story": Hakeem Jeffries cracks down on Trump speech disruptions Some lawmakers are backing away from bringing eggs to symbolize inflation for fear they could be seen as projectiles.

They should have heckled until they were all thrown out. They should have chanted “this is not a game”. Anything but sit there and get shitted on. This is NOT a game and citizens to feel that.

This was weak.

Our system was not designed for a party system in which one party can gain control of all three branches after having radicalized against democracy, having lost all sense of shame about telling easily disprovable lies, and having built a hermetically-sealed media environment for their supporters.

The public lost access to Census Bureau data for days after a Trump order After Trump put out an executive order targeting gender identity, the public lost access to many Census Bureau data tables and research reports for days, raising concerns about the data's integrity.

Ready for permanent gerrymandered states?

Musk's propaganda focusing on individual items in US AID's budget is part of the authoritarian assault on the concept of "a public good." By turning every penny the US gov't spends into a topic of public deliberation (and potential ridicule), they are trying to turn people against democracy itself.

Trump Says Palestinians Have ‘No Alternative’ but to Leave Gaza: Live Updates

but Trump administration cares so little about these people’s future he’ll go on the world stage and basic tell them, “screw solutions…gtfo”.

Never again should tyrants be used as bargaining chips in intra-group disagreements … just look at the results.

Democrats were worst than a Trump administration because they were apart of this conspiratorial deep state beholden to Israel and implicit in genocide … left leaning voters should vote for the hacks in Green Party or not vote at all …

I will say this about a part of the political left: during the last election many “influencers” of this type were critical toward the Democratic Party about the Israel-Palestine situation. The core of the argument being:

As nationalists embrace the Trump oligarchy and admit they love tyranny, they secede the ground in the argument for democratic rule. We have to fill that space. We are the patriots. We are the guard for democracy. Let’s start acting like it.

Who are you addressing this to exactly? Citizens who identify as democrats? B/c there is no organization there to realize this. You’re finger wagging at a crowd isn’t all “here” for the same reason nor has any power to structure a message the way you are talking. Are you talking to DNC operatives?

Trump's intentional avalanche of garbage Just because we knew the deluge was coming...doesn't make it any less alarming to behold

"If it feels like an insurmountable amount of garbage is being dumped on us, that's by design. It’s creating such an avalanche of disappointment that we're left feeling disheartened, disillusioned, and discouraged. He wants us to become so numb to injustice that it becomes our new normal."

If you support mass deportation of “illegal” immigrants just go ahead and admit you the type to #snitch.

Trump administration performing MAGA loyalty tests as civil servants 'terrified' Prospective job seekers have had to prove their "enthusiasm" to Trump by sharing their "MAGA revelation" moment.

Imagine filing an ethics complaint in this administration… they are tossing it in the garbage. Imagine that work environment! A lot of people going to be abused.

How are we going to have “good government” if workers are intimidated and censored?

Tons of other content out there, and tbh … most of these fans need a break. I hope Destiny returns soon and keep the streak going with the political content. Not convinced sex vids sent to one person and then stolen and leaked is some career ending bomb … the hysteria looks super manufactured.
