Those sons of bitches who got Obama elected are some of the most insufferable alive. They walked into a hurricane, wound up on a mountaintop, and they think it means they can fly.

i will not forget the men who downplayed the earlier allegations of abuse against platner and said accepting them was just the price we had to pay to gain control of the senate. i hope they feel like fucking assholes.

Exclusive: Woman who dated Graham Platner says he sexually assaulted her
The Maine Democrat denied the allegations and said, “Any accusation of non-consensual behavior is categorically untrue.”

The Pod Save America dudes are now going to shift away from politics and instead focus on their new cause: insisting that Ezra Miller be once again cast in any Flash sequel.

“Ran a better campaign”….the candidate talked about a pro golfer’s genitals and freaked out about dogs and cats during a national debate. No, the Harris campaign was better. The American public just didn’t care

It is 100 percent their fault. They intentionally shut out AOC in favor of an old white guy with cancer. They turned Harris's "fuck those people are so weird" campaign vibe into standard James Carville pablum. It is their fault. And we are all paying the price.

Cutting federal aid and buying out government workers are both directly from the publicly-stated Yarvin / Thiel / Vance plan to destroy democratic government and replace it with a corporate dictatorship.

Conservatism is an ideology dedicated to the premise that it would be better to demolish society back to the Stone Age than be told not to use a slur on a zoom call.

AOC: I don’t care what Elon Musk is doing behind the presidential seal, but in this country we hate Nazis. Kind of like a foundational defining thing. Two of the foundational things about American history is that we beat the confederates and we beat the Nazis.

We are thrilled to work with Elena, a student at Saint Francis of Assisi school, on her project to combat period poverty locally! Period poverty is the inability to afford and access menstrual products, sanitation facilities, and education/awareness to manage menstrual health.

It is so vital that we as experienced organizers/community workers/theorists continue to push and center education in our movement. We have to be actively learning and unlearning and it IS an active process. You cannot passively learn. You must apply it as praxis and thought beyond comprehension.

"Friendly reminder that anti-intellectualism is an authoritarian tactic that is used to control a population by robbing people of the tools to understand and solve problems, foster innovation and build up communities. Education gives people power to improve their conditions

Just a reminder to everyone who voted for trump because you wanted lower prices on shit: You ain't getting it. He admitted it. Said it's too hard. But he has ALREADY enriched himself and his wealthy friends with his and Melania's shit coins. He doesn't give a fuck about you.

The unavailability of the app on apple and Google (what the law actually does trigger) suggests neither company was fooled by the little overnite TikTok/Trump PR ploy. So once again, all TBD.

They shut down their own app for a day, then turned it back on thanking Trump. What an obvious scam this was. Disgusting on the part of the Tik Tok owners, Trump, and all his sycophants who reversed their positions on it one second after he did for no reason other than he did.
