i hope we do realize that there is such a thing as being *too* cynical, even in times like these.

like, seeing someone refer to the Zohran sign editor as an “op” is when things start to get absurd.

you can critique something without acquiescing to paranoid impulses.

Caving on a deal that doesn’t fix health care is, and always has been, a giant betrayal of the American people.

Hold the line. Save health care. I’m a NO on anything that doesn’t extend ACA subsidies.

I love Steven Soderbergh.

Strong get-out-the-vote message for Dems.

He beat the wrap.

“There is power in wanting to learn more about the world in which you live, and great joy awaits when you read the whole book just to find out what happens.”

A rallying cry for all of us who want more!

I think that's what he's trying to do

I love that Mamdani is what the right claimed Obama was: A Muslim socialist born in Africa. The right practically manifested Mamdani into existence.

If any friends have lost SNAP benefits this week or you know someone who has, below is a website where you can find a local food bank to help make ends meet.

Groceries can be tough, especially around the holidays.

Another world is possible, if we fight for it

1, glad for my inhaler after toxic fumes filled the air of my city last night. 2, looks like my dad may have to go back into surgery again after getting a new kidney a week ago. 3, I've never met anyone as committed to phraming the world as controlling her as my mother is. It's remarkable, really.

No matter how hard people try to convince us having empathy is wrong,

it is right.

No matter how hard people try to convince us that diversity is a weakness,

it is a strength.

No matter how hard people try to convince us that love is limited,

it is unlimited.

Maine rejected plan to tighten voting rules

CA approved Prop 50 allowing redistricting in response to TX redistricting

What a message!
This was a major referendum on the GOP.

Tonight, was another reminder: there is no single mold for a Democratic winner.

Progressives won. Moderates won. Rural, suburban, urban —they all won. Black, White, Latino, AAPI — they all won. We won in the East, South, Midwest and West. Victories in races from City Council to Governor.

people with 2 cats can you confirm

This post brought to you in part by all the goddamn drivers who somehow can't see the big thick white line they're supposed to stop *behind.*

I try to be committed to the idea that there are no stupid questions, but my FIL really makes me question that commitment. Talking to him often feels like speaking to someone who has made a game of Mad Libs into a lifestyle.

Ok, Leftists. Since everything that everyone else is doing is a waste of time, naive, or counterproductive, what will work? What's The Plan?

Sora is pumping out AI generated videos depicting AI generated «black women» screaming, literally creating the Angry Black Woman racist trope.

This will harm black women.

I fucking hate techbros.
So fucking much.

Fuck OpenAI.
Fuck Sam Altman.
Fuck all of them.
I hope they all rot in jail.

Give to your local food bank. Build mutual aid wherever and however you can. If we’re going to make something better it’s going to depend on reinvigorating a sense of interconnectedness.

We’re all in this together and the fight depends on recognizing that.

My perhaps controversial assessment is that when you share the propaganda of your enemies to call it out or to mock it… you’re still spreading their propaganda and maybe doing exactly what they hope you’ll do.

NRA leader Wayne LaPierre holding gun with caption “ NRA accidentally forgets to rise up against tyrannical government. An embarrassed national rifle association says it totally forgot to do the one thing it has been saying for years it is solely there to do”

Tyranny what’s that?!?

I'd much rather my taxes go to poor people buying soda and chips than to rich people buying their 5th yacht and 10th mansion

I love Rebecca DOWN. Known as Dollar Tree Dinners.

Her “Meal in a Bag” is meant to provide ppl with a complete meal that is $8 or less, is shelf stable, & can be made without access to a full kitchen. I love this as a direct aid option. Good for neighbors & elders who can’t/wont go to a pantry.
