The NYP was trying to scare and fear monger, but I absolutely love this graphic. What the establishments of both parties, corporations, and billionaires fear more than anything is people realizing that the real reason their lives suck is because of endless greed and class warfare.

I love my 🏳️‍⚧️ brothers/sisters/others. There are some in Democratic circles who think fighting for your rights isn’t politically convenient. I say DAMN ALL THAT, either we ALL or free or NONE of us are. I’m not throwing ANY community under the bus for political expediency.

Today is an absolute rebuke of anti-transgender politics, and a real sign that the anti-trans panic is fading.

From VA Gov to Loudoun County to New Jersey to New York City and Pennsylvania, anti-trans Republicans are falling left and right.

Democrats are currently ahead in 63 (!!!) races in the Virginia House of Delegates.

If this holds, it would be one of the largest state legislature swings in the last 4 years.

Its an absolute bloodbath for anti-trans Republicans.

This is fantastic, NYC! Your mayor will need ALL of your support because the billionaires and corporations plan on attempting to make life miserable for you so you turn on him. They can’t have socialism catching fire, because it will show what life could be like for us all. Don’t believe their lies!

Can we try his corpse for war crimes and have him buried under prison? He was the mastermind behind lying us into the Iraq War with the “wmd” bullshit. He was also who made pre-teen me realize the US weren’t the “good guys”. My only regret is that he never faced justice for his crimes.

His career was about the accumulation of power — and the use of it.

To piggyback off this, there is no ethical way one “earns” a billion dollars; not with the income-inequality where it is now. It’s obscene, and it’s bullshit. People don’t even blink an eye anymore. When we normalize bullshit, bullshit becomes normal.

I used to be a moderate guy, but I have been radicalized by the rise of fascism in the US.

Democrats must oppose Fascism.

But to defeat Fascism we need to change the system that brought us Fascism.

Working people deserve a decent life.

No one desrves vast wealth.

Asked about Andrew being stripped of his title of "prince," Trump said, "I feel very badly. It's a terrible thing that's happened to the family."

Nothing tugs at his heart strings as much as rich white men being punished for raping children.

I’m a DINO in that I can’t fathom voting for Republicans…but I also cannot support being in bed with billionaires and their money; out of touch septuagenarians holding onto power long past their time; or wanting to throw 🏳️‍⚧️ people & other groups under the bus…things I also criticize Republicans for.

Juste Belmont @thebelmont.bsky.social · 5d

American businesses are so greedy because American consumers (us) have accepted their greed, which is bullshit. Yes, we bitch and moan about it but we don’t fight back in the only language they understand…with our 💰. Because we’ve normalized bullshit, bullshit has become normal.

Tell me I’m lying.

I kept telling people the old Tik Tok was no more. The platform will be increasingly used to radicalize young people. People don’t listen to me though, I’m a nobody. But we’ll have to find out the hard way just like everything else in America.

I say if the feds want to play games over this funding, California should stop paying taxes. We pay more than any other state, so if the feds do this, we should keep our money and pay for our own shit. Let those struggling red states get by on whatever they earn, and we’ll see who needs who most.

When this is over I have a good idea for the use of the “ballroom”. It should be converted into a museum whose central theme is educating the American public about fascism and authoritarianism, and highlighting the brave people and institutions that held strong during our own experience with it.

They called him un-American and elitist for ordering a hamburger with Dijon mustard instead of ketchup. They said his tan suit was “unpresidential”. Could you imagine what they’d have said if Obama tore down half of the goddamn White House for a vanity project while a deep recession was going on?

Being partisan isn’t necessarily a bad thing, especially if silence is what is assisting our descent into authoritarianism and lawlessness. I think “being above the fray” played a pivotal role in getting us to our current position. That’s not to say be nasty, but right is right and wrong is wrong.

This meme is hilarious. The thing I love most about it is that the Americans that voted for this, believing themselves to be the betters of the rest of the world (and everyone else in the US), are finding out just how much their day to day lives are impacted when the world abandons them.

I love this for them. Between their significant Latino population being afraid of getting captured by ICE and vendors price gouging people, this is what they get for voting to make us the United States of Embarrassment. The question is will occurrences like this change behaviors? I say it won’t.

“What does safety mean if it always comes at someone else’s expense?”

This is an interesting piece on its face. I’ll have to deep dive to verify some of the statistics given in it, but on its face it’s both logical and makes a lot of sense.

If the Democrats manage to ever get back into power, I think there should be a federal mandate that NO law enforcement agencies should have their faces obscured while carrying out their duties, without a warrant. If they are operating within the law they have nothing to worry about.

That Cuomo got crushed in the NYC Democratic Primary, the @democrats.org leadership refused to endorse him, and Cuomo stayed in the race shows us all that their “Vote Blue No Matter Who” line when they expected leftists to get behind their corporate candidates was utter BULLSHIT.

Tell me I’m wrong.

Apparently he thought he was sending her a private message to explain his dastardly, corrupt, illegal, cartoon-villain scheme. He told his supporters every investigation into him was politically motivated despite mountains of evidence. He wants them to also believe his investigations aren't.

U.S. administrations of BOTH parties have repeatedly framed themselves as “pressing for peace,” but in practice their policies have overwhelmingly reinforced Israel’s military capacity while resisting international consensus on Palestinian sovereignty. No U.S. president has ever “pressed for peace”.
