STFU, RFK Jr, you ridiculous idiot. You don't care about the wellbeing of patients. You care about politics. You are actively undermining doctors' ability to protect their patients from measles and COVID. Your party forces women who have miscarried to bleed out in parking lots over your politics.

serve as spoilers who skim off 1% and add to the disadvantage we already have in the electoral college. Then, Republicans win.

We need new leaders like Zohran & James who are unabashedly offering a vision of hope and affordability to people who have given up that the system will work for them.

Folks can wish for another party as much as you want, but our system isn’t set up for 3rd parties to have any viability to win & don’t do the footwork of building a party from the ground up in state/local elections.

We just have grifters who come in every so often in presidential elections & ‡️

I wonder if Krysten Sinema has any regrets about helping Republicans block changing the filibuster to pass the John Lewis voting rights act in 2021. Now, we face Illegal gerrymandering for midterms & section 2 before the Trump SCOTUS which will virtually destroy what remains of the voting rights act

Trump talking about why farmers have to hire undocumented immigrants:

β€œThese people in the inner-city [read Blacks] don’t do that kind of work...οΏΌ

They [Latinos] are β€œbuilt” [read genetically suited] for farm work….”

This was exactly the kind of language that whites used to justify slavery.

You missed the point. That was exactly my point. Republicans created a national emergency out of a consensual affair, poor judgment, not illegal. I’m saying Democrats could take the page on strategy after this potus moved a child sex trafficker to Club Fed.

Have you heard a mass outrage campaign?

With all this focus on redecorating the White House, is it possible that the old man is confused and thinks he’s the FLOTUS instead of POTUS?

I mean, it might be confusing because Melania is AWOL.

God help us if he picks the Christmas decorations. It’ll make those creepy red trees look cozy..

If Democrats were as good at creating outrage, they would be as hysterical as Republicans were over Monica Lewinsky, screaming about this and asking β€œwhat is he hiding?”

Every damn day.

Do Trumpβ€˜s people not screen people well, or does he consciously surround himself with terrible men? Because one of the athletes standing with him at the White House when he announced bringing back the presidential fitness test for children is a REGISTERED SEX OFFENDER.

A REGISTERED SEX OFFENDER.

Yet another principled departure from an outlet I once loved ...

"The Constitution gives us the inherent, unapologetically patriotic right to rail against such affronts to democracy and the rule of law. The First Amendment demands it." ‼️

Republicans accuse Democrats of β€œre-distributing wealth” and β€œsocialism” when we want to pass policies and programs that help the working and middle classes.

Republicans are redistributing wealth UPWARDS.

Democrats should be talking about this every day.

Blah, blah… so that means Murkowski will vote. Yes because they seem to trade off who gets to vote no while not sinking unpopular things. I’m so tired of it.

And if we could get a big enough majority in Congress, add a few seats to SCOTUS, even swing justices to balance it out again.

I’m trying to understand what’s up with engagement at @bsky.app

I have more than 3x as many followers here that I do on threads. I haven’t even been posting on 🧡until just recently when I did an experiment.

This same post had only 2 likes here, but went a bit viral over on threads with 1M+ views.

Roe v Wade.

They attack the opposition relentlessly. They show up to vote.

The left attacks Democrats relentlessly. They stay home or vote 3rd party when frustrated.

Stein voters take pride in letting things πŸ”₯.
