Protest + dissent need you to be okay with disruption even when it’s impolite. Even when you’re being gaslit about what their actions made you do. Your oppressor isn’t going to come around to your side because you were morally superior and principled—we are fighting for our lives out here.

And they can play this game because they KNOW Dems won’t hold the line.
In the most predictable development ever, Mike Johnson is not committing to hold a House vote on ACA subsidies

Thanks Babe. You have the day you deserve.
Have a day. Go hang a sign. Put on a frog suit. Do some graffiti. Who the fuck cares? People are dying. Just the same as Kamala wrote down in her plans for the country. Both sides are the same. Matter fact, have a great day. You got exactly what you voted (or didn't vote) for.

You think Kamala would have saved you? Sure sweetie. In your dreams.

Of course you don’t give an actual fuck (whole or half) because the scope of your political awareness is myopic. I never thought gay marriage would be possible, but it is. And was affirmed. TODAY by a conservative court.
I don't give 1/2 a fuck how many people you think should be deported. The law was not abolished because you wished on a wizzle. There's not enough momentum to abolish deportation laws & you know this bcuz if there was, one of the every 4 yr grifters wld win on that. Instead they are hiding til 2027.
What if I said: I don’t think that we should’ve been deporting ANYONE? At all. Because Obama deported more people than any other president EVER. It’s also not true that people were ONLY getting deported at Immigration Court. I grew up in South Texas.

Christine Pelosi, daughter of Nancy Pelosi, has announced she’s running for the California State Senate.

LOUDER
Why can't "the left" build a viable third party while also taking over the Democrats? Do people not understand that "the right" is now composed of people who are playing traditional party politics, people planning and implementing coups and people who are trying to destroy democracy worldwide?

Not a single fuckin ICE raid at a Home Depot or FUCKING ELEMENTARY SCHOOL GRADUATION was conducted under a Democrat. People were taken from immigration hearings only if they lost their case.
It's OK to be a progressive. Be honest with the both sides bullshit. Accept that you let this happen.

It’s the notion that you believe that ICE agents wouldn’t be doing the same thing under a Democrat. Do you know how many people were deported under Obama? Or Biden. I’m not saying Trump is best, I am saying that Kamala chose positions that people didn’t support. Now here we are.

That’s what I thought about Biden. And it wasn’t less to be fighting for or we’d have abolished the filibuster and passed voting rights.
But here we are. Y’all blaming people who know better than to believe in any one politician.

I love how Chuck Schumer thought not actually being one of the yes votes would save him from the smoke and he still catching allllllll the smoke 😂
Just got to find shit to laugh about these days to keep from crying.

First. Only a jackass would govern from his personal social media account. A jackass who thinks every American reads it.

The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

the empire will continue to starve, kill, and imprison people.

BREAKING: Trump admin once again asked the Supreme Court to freeze full SNAP payments.
As Americans are struggling, this self-serving President is spending his time and resources trying to prevent people from getting food to feed their children.

This has been obvious since the Obama years
13) I think Dem leadership still suffers from frame drag. They think it's the 90s. Trump is dismantling the powers of Congress. They have to rise to that moment and demand big things.
Vought is expanding the playing field to thinks off the table. Dems need to do the same.

Agreed, it’s the ignorance of the electorate. 👀
These people spend 10 hours a day on social media bitching about how "voting doesn't matter," "AIPAC!," "everyone is a crook," and "all we need is a general strike," but literally do nothing else to advance their cause.
Politicians ain't the reason we're doomed.

That’s why they drop bombs oh Black and Brown countries, protect and fund the police, and back ICE and Genocides. They’re not our people to defend. They show us that. They are only allowed to keep us content with crumbs.

There it is.
That so many of us want representation so bad, that we won’t look no further into their actions or care once they’re elected and that we will defend them just like we do celebs who move funny.

No one is foaming at the mouth. And your centrist politics are WHY we’re here now.
I didn’t sup y Kamala, but I worked for her to win. And it’s her shitty politics and political unawareness like yours that we are here now.

This is not a “take,” I’m literally training people to create community safety plans and mutual aid programs. Kamala isn’t a savior, no politician is. We gonna save us, not the systems that don’t include or work for us.
I’m asinine, but you’re cheering for a Black cop.

But Congress would’ve been the same folks. They were doing this exact same shit to Biden and Obama.
And yes, Israel would still be committing genocide under Kamala.
Take your hope back from politicians, and redirect that energy to organizing your people to support each other.
