I will never forgive anyone that did anything other than vote for Kamala Harris in November of 2024. I don’t care about the bs reasons they’re trying to push because she was always the better choice. Once again…folks should have concentrated on HERE. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

It shouldn't be forgotten that "Genocide Joe" was a repurposed insult; it started when he refused to order a Federal mask mandate.

one of the ways the media shows which side they prefer, is which politicians they quote uncharitably out-of-context and which they clean up for even when what they actually say and do is offensive (the Biden story ran on the front page less than a week before the 24 election)

I LOVE how @propublica.org dealt with official comment here, editorially and stylistically.
The Trump administration says none of this is happening. 

"DHS is NOT arresting U.S. citizens by mistake." "There are no 'indiscriminate' stops." Allegations of "racial profiling are disgusting, reckless and categorically FALSE." "The pattern is NOT of law enforcement using force." "ICE does not zip tie or restrain children." 

But that is precisely what is happening, and at a far larger scale than previously reported.

this "forcing Jews to explain how the clearly antisemitic thing is antisemitic before pretending to not understand the explanation" game is a big part of why I didn't post those pictures of Macklemore, it was clear forcing Jews to post and see that was part of the fun the game.

So moderates refusing to support a progressive is betrayal, and moderates supporting one is suspicious? What a convenient little bullshit trap. If your objection is to who endorses him rather than what he actually stands for, your purity test has replaced your fucking judgment.

It's LGBTQ+ History Month, so just be aware that we've always been here. It only seems "new" because the "new" part is so many of us are not hiding anymore. But there have always been gays, lesbians, bisexuals, trans people, queer people, intersex people, asexual & aromantic people, etc. ALWAYS.

This story is horrible, enraging, and far too common. They treated him like a criminal because as a Black teenage boy, they assumed he must have been. They didn't care about his life at all. He missed his prom, he lost his job. I hope his family sues them all.

Just a reminder: Tillis persuaded the woman Hegseth allegedly raped to come forward with her story, and told her that if she did, it would sink the nomination. She did. At great risk to herself. Tillis then cast the deciding vote for Hegseth. Because he’s a goddamned coward.

So, this very sympathetic piece where the subject is “a lifelong Democrat who had voted for Trump for the first time in 2024”. 5 minutes of checking his facebook shows pro Trump posts as far back as 2019, and a post saying that he “stands with Trump” posted just a couple of days after Trumps coup.
