It's interesting to me that Argentina has arguably the most batshit RWNJ in the world, and the stupid bastard still hasn't destroyed universal healthcare.

Almost like universal healthcare is popular and successful.

Meanwhile, in the UK...

What is ridiculous is to conclude correctly that Brexit is the source of economic pain and then do nothing to reverse it.

We all knew it was going to be an economic disaster, that’s why they lied about it and pivoted to arguing about sovereignty.
But we have a bellicose Putin, threatening our European allies and paying our politicians to spout his propaganda.
We need to be more united, not less.

If we don’t speak up for the communities that Trump is terrorizing right now, we will be next.

His authoritarianism will come for all of us in the end. https://youtu.be/tkaBlgXR8tY?si=bJcUxXZWMrae4kwx

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

But just maybe, it might be the best.

It’s the hope that grinds.
