Democrats Youtube Videos from the last 7 days. Tuesday August 19th

I have seen enough people not know what democrats presence has been that I feel like doing a video round up.

This fits pretty squarely in the classic definition of assault in that it a) is unlawfully directed at constitutionally protected activity and (b) causes the victim to reasonably fear imminent physically harmful contact

This Prime Day, celebrate by buying trans books from somewhere other than Amazon.

I really don't understand how I'm supposed to be made to hate Muslims as some kind of existential threat to "western civilization" when my Muslim best friend will throw hands at anyone who misgenders me, Zohran Mamdani is marching for trans people, and western civilization wants me dead or closeted.

This is worth a watch. Your art - whatever it is - is worthwhile. youtu.be/2XZ9z6OewR0?...

If you only have one complaint, it might just be one person - but if you've got ten people with the same issue, you probably *actually* have 100+ people with that issue.

In my experience, around 1/10 of end-users who experience a problem with your online product will get in touch with you to complain (and give you a chance to fix it).

The rest just give up, or complain to all their friends instead of you.

Reminder: cis men who are not married to/dating a cis woman whose data it could be, one simple thing you can do is download a period tracker and use it to track literally anything. Days you saw a Cybertruck. Days your boss was a fuckbucket. Days you didn't get a fundraiser text from the Democrats.

AOC: The bill bans 13.7 million Americans from buying their own insurance from the Affordable Care Act Exchange.

So after being kicked off #Medicaid, you then can't even buy your own health insurance.

Democrats just flipped the Omaha mayor's office with ads like this. The right-wing obsession with genitals is starting to backfire.

Here are the Top 5 Dogs of the week!

Every extra hour that ICE spends facing off with activists is an hour they can't spend kidnapping other people.

Every extra minute ICE has to spend contingency planning around activists and neighbors, every extra officer ICE has to put on a kidnap squad, is a drain on their efficiency.

If there's nobody else there, you can start the cleaning session by saying "Hey, I'm just here to clean, so the easier it is the quicker I'll leave you alone."

It might help, probably won't hurt. :-)

I don't read the Onion often, but this is spot on...

Me: I don't understand why my co-workers value me.

Also me: I don't understand why everyone seems confused by this solution that seems simple and obvious to me - here, I'll do a graphical mock-up in PowerPoint so everyone can *see* what I'm talking about.

Maybe it's a little more. Maybe a lot less. But as Annie says, tomorrow is always a day away.

So don't forget that TODAY matters.

36,000 todays (give or take). That's what a lifetime is made of.
