The Democrats that voted for the abomination known as the Laken Riley Act. Each of them should be shamed.

We have actual working class populists that are ready to go forward.

Get out of the way.

I’m extremely ready for the Dem leadership that got played this severely does what they praised Biden for and steps aside.

You failed in the face of the aesthetic of populism.

I don’t care that they look like losers to you. They *actually* won. Not just the election but the TikTok play.

This is exactly what progressives said would happen and yet Biden/the Democrats chose to champion this ban and make themselves the face of it bc they care more about passing authoritarian policies like a TikTok ban than listening to their own constituents (none of whom wanted this ban)

TikTok literally just proved that they didn’t have to go dark last night.

Donald Trump isn’t President yet. Legally, nothing has changed. TikTok is using Joe Biden’s non-enforcement promise while thanking Donald Trump instead.

‘I Really Needed to Reclaim My Life’: Congresswoman Gwen Moore Shares Her Abortion Story As a young student and single mother in the ’70s, Moore says she was “a poor person who had to go to great lengths” to obtain an abortion.

What’s the story with this account? I admit I don’t have background on this

This is horrifying! We can’t protest human rights abuses in other countries and ignore them here. This is a “supermax” prison in far SW VA. Most inmates are kept out of contact with other human beings for 23 hrs a day. Amnesty Intl. & H.R. Watch pointed out abuses over 20 yrs ago but it continues.

Self Immolation at Red Onion State Prison Dear Friends, On September 15th, 2024, a tragic, horrifying event took place at Virginia’s Red Onion State Prison—an event that highlights the unbearable conditions incarcerated individuals face every...

“In a span of just two weeks, a dozen Black men at Red Onion took the same desperate measures, setting themselves ablaze. These are not acts of protest. These are human beings driven to extreme lengths, simply hoping for relief from their torment.”
