Right?!? I want someone willing to actually move us left, not just stop or help inch us right.

Prosecute this administration to the full extent of possibility. Expand the court, put us on the track for universal healthcare, TAX the rich, FDA, EPA, IRS, fully funded, abolish ICE.

Whenever moderates whine about “purity tests” it’s the same transference that Republicans do, it’s that “every accusation is an admission” thing. Their purity test is that you must be willing to throw marginalised communities under the bus to appease this imaginary voting bloc they think exists

Ooo he's in such a decline his nicknames need (explaining)

the clever gremlin

Today's right-wing men have never read a book, but think they're smarter than everybody else because they cosplay as the "clever gremlin" from Gremlins 2.

“Parents who, after consulting with a doctor and a psychologist, allow their 15-year-old child to transition commit child abuse. The child is too young to consent!”

What a photograph.

“Nearly two dozen arrested as faith leaders protested outside a federal immigration facility near Chicago…”

Arrested large amounts of peaceful clergy face first on pavement is a pretty good sign you’re not the good guys in the story. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

This is me at 15. I’m a child.
I’m a CHILD.

a “Space Force”, if you will

in online corners like these I think people largely recognize how credulous, unprincipled opposition to "wokeness" functioned as lightly papered over defenses of impunity, but it's one of those drums people should probably start beating for normies

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

A reminder that the Epstein files aren't a distraction from the oligarchy. They're an integral part of it.

Grijalva: That is why I will sign the discharge petition right now to release the Epstein files. Justice cannot wait another day.

SEATTLE!!!

We’ve now taken the lead by 91 votes! 🤯 This thing is certainly not over! Over 1,000 ballots have been challenged, so if you haven’t tracked your ballot yet get on it! Our trusty volunteers have been working hard to "cure" ballots so they count! We're so close!

That's why you fight dodo

I keep seeing republicans portrayed as Lucy and dems as Charlie Brown, but I think the Dems are Lucy and WE are Charlie Brown. 🏈😵

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

seems to me that those democrats inclined not to fight perceive themselves as living through a somewhat ordinary cycle of presidential overreach and backlash and not something much more significant and dangerous

It's an artistic representation of a circulatory system walking through a kitchen, as drawn by Dave Gibbons and written about by Alan Moore. It happens a lot 'round here.

Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.

Correct. But also, let's not pretend airline lobbying had nothing to do with this. Dems had the support of their base and Reps were getting the brunt of the blame. Why else was Johnson holding press conferences everyday just to say he doesnt know anything.

A reminder - last March, republicans promised to restore $1.1B in funding to DC in exchange for funding the government, and Mike Johnson never took it up in the House.

But why not call Republicans?

I know why, but it's still so fucking irritating

Eight million of us took to the streets. The Election was a clean sweep and you caved?!?

Why do they never pressure Republicann? Probably because they, corporate America, have given up on pretending people matter. They want to exploit and hurt as many as we'll let them.

Would love to see some reporting on how the airline lobby put on the pressure.

“I am voting no. But please don’t notice how I am not saying that I told the other Democratic Senators - for whom I am their leader - to vote no. And also do not pay attention to how I will refuse to denounce those Senators that voted yes, including my second-in-command.”

We are being led by absolute cowards

More than 10,000 flights delayed in worst day of disruptions since shutdown More than 2,800 flights were canceled Sunday, while Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy said the shutdown’s impact on airports is “only going to get worse.”

This and the airline industry lobbyists are what did it. Not Americans starving and paying twice as much for healthcare.

Anyway a great way to radicalize people is for them to realize that you just abandoned their chance at being able to access and afford health care because you didn’t like waiting in line at the airport.
