I’m just here parenting, adulting, and fighting colon cancer. Hope to leave this world better than I found it. Right now a blue dot in MD-01 but aspiring to be a Radical Left Lunatic.

It’s Adam IncrediBerry on the socials. (Not sure exactly what his handles are.) He’s great!

Aside from the Antifa part, what exactly is “building out the infrastructure” supposed to mean?

Yes, sadly, some of these parents would rather their child die than be autistic. I’ve seen the comments. 🥺

Marjorie Taylor Green has been in Congress since 2020 and is resigning as of Jan 5,
2026. And I just want to point out one thing.

She spent 5 years in Congress attacking the left-and never feared for her life or safety to any level that would make her resign.

She spent 5 weeks mildly critiquing the
MAGA right and the backlash was so severe she is resigning.

5 years of antagonizing the left resulted in no action. 5 weeks of criticizing the right resulted in resignation.
That says it all.

May every Congressional Republican follow MTG’s lead.

I’m curious how or if this is at all related to open plan classrooms from the 60-70s. And in schools that haven’t been renovated, still today. Talk about disruptive and distracting.

My useless rep, Andy Harris, head of the Freedom Caucus, said “it’s only a loan, they’ll repay it with interest”. A loan means you have it to begin with, so this is bs about not having funding. And like anyone here trusts the repayment will go back to the US govt and not just billionaire pockets.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

I’m curious what messaging from the left/progressives you are hearing. I feel like the establishment Dems are courting the center and ignoring the left. For example, I think there should be much bigger push for single payer healthcare.

Someone with schizophrenia and bipolar probably shouldn’t have been in a correctional institution to start with. I hope those COs are discovered and incarcerated in gen pop.

Sarah McBride did an interview where she likens democrats to feminists characteristics and republicans to masculine and it explains a lot about what we’re discussing.

Good point, I think a financial argument is the only way you would convince a lot of these people because you won’t reach them by appealing to their (non-existent) empathy.
