The strategy against Trump is actually extremely simple: Deny all non-social safety program funding until Trump agrees to massive overhauls of the executive branch and Supreme Court, and force him to pass both before any further funding happens.

Weird that you felt the need to talk about his eyebrows too. The hair is a fair point without the context of what you said later. Accuse a queer nb doctor of being “illiterate” all you want, but it’s your homophobic posting setting us back further. Leave the queer jokes to us.

Always interesting to me to see who cannot read. Homophobia where, Jay?!! WHERE?

This paper shows that immigration enforcement can _increase_ crime. Undocumented immigrants already have the lowest crime rate, but tough-on-immigration policy makes immigrants less likely to report crime. So immigration enforcement worsens the problem it was ostensibly meant to solve

The figure comes from Florida's own FEMA grant application. The state asked Washington for $1.5 billion and reported spending about $1.2 million a day to run the camp, at times as much as $3 million a day.

Which means we can afford universal healthcare immediately. Debate over, my local dems better run on it or my vote isn’t happening.

In the last 18 months, Congress has given DHS $240 billion — a quarter of a trillion.

“There may be.” FFS. Forget the flags. I have a literal masters degree in public health, I’m an actual union leader (in my second term as chapter president,) I’m a college professor, and a reproductive health advocate. And people are quibbling over if he abused his exes enough to be disqualifying.

Hayes: Are there texts, photos, floating around that will hurt the campaign in October? Are you worried about that? Platner: I'm not worried about it. There may be things out there but they're from before I was public figure and got into politics. My journey is one of transformation.

the current director of national intelligence is a guy who two years ago received a trophy declaring he “Fucks Only The Young” at an (oddly dildo focused) event he organized dedicated to the conspiracy that Bed Bath and Beyond never actually went bankrupt

Jared Polis is exactly why the whole “we vote for id-aligned folks because they are id-aligned folks” was bad, is bad, and will forever be bad politics. Vote for issues. Vote for candidates. They earn our votes and we should punish marginalized traitors MORE for breaking our trust.

There’s always the apologists among the marginalized who will excuse any level of fascism. Weird how he still pushes debunked claims of thousands of deaths in the Iran protests, but has no problem excusing predictable fascist tactics here.

If you say that something is fake, a false flag, a setup, a hoax, a psyop, or staged before you have gathered any evidence and had a chance to analyze it, you’re radicalized, and that radicalization is impacting your ability to assess reality.

“We have to let the fascists investigate this and play out before we insinuate any issues” Kinda like we are “going to reveal everything about the White House” and then *poof* *go mia to dodge that promise*, right?

Angry@angrystaffer.bsky.social

Basically this. We can’t turn into MAGA and just assume everything is rigged, staged, stolen, etc. Let the investigation play out.

Oh, the Nazi uses the r-slur? Shock.

Julia Métraux@juliametraux.bsky.social

Platner apologized for using the r-word in a recent interview. I was the first journalist to criticize this usage in my article, so I do take some credit to bringing attention to the problem. www.wmtw.com/article/grah...

The takes of “if a country like Hungary can do it, we can to!” are about to be everywhere. Lmao. Not only are we *not* able to have a 2/3 majority in either house ever again, Hungary has a campaign and finance system 70% of elected Democrats would never allow. You have no idea how fucked we are.

The only legitimate answer to this is to expel all settler parties from Occupied Palestine, dissolve the unlawful Occupant Colony (known as Israel), and consider mass executions for all of its leadership and political majority. Fuck these cunts.

Israeli National Security Minister, and war criminal, Ben Gvir, outside the Knesset chamber, celebrates with champagne and smiles the passing of the death penalty law for Palestinian detainees, the majority innocent civilians, declares happily: “Soon we will count them one by one.”

US troops are intentionally stationed in civilian infrastructure right now in Bahrain. We are doing this.

“My young girl is gone… she’s gone.” A father in Bahrain whose daughter was killed in an Islamic Republic drone attack is overcome with grief as he speaks about his loss.

Yet another chapter in the book of: stop voting for democrats. They are republicans.
