What I mean when I say I am praying for someone else is just that I have been telling God about the intense concern I have about them and the love, and letting that love feel connected to God and other people's love for them.

The trans accommodation paradigm is demonstrating its own failure in real time. We need to work towards building the project of trans liberation on former ground moving forward.

I’m too enraged over than smart lady losing to give a fuck about what 8 democrats did quite honestly. This was to be expected. And folks will blame all democrats because some of you can’t think beyond the length of your pubic hair.

Voter fatigue is voter suppression. We just saw last week what it looks like when we UNITE behind our party and VOTE. Vote in primaries so we aren’t left with dusty ‘ol standbys, then we may actually get several terms in succession where we can make REAL progress & not just repair GOP damage.

...let that happen. From a week before the first primary to election day, Dems need to run 24/7 ads reminding everyone that republicans wanted to let millions of people starve so they could take health insurance away from millions of America.

Because there have only been six(!) non-consecutive(!) months(!) since Carter(!) when the GOP couldn't obstruct everything!
Six months of progress, 44.5 years of obstruction or worse.
And building is always harder than destroying.

Yeah, we voted Biden in, w a razor-thin House margin & literally the smallest Senate majority mathematically possible.
Margins matter!
We can't keep electing Republicans to obstruct & destroy, then getting mad Democrats don't do more.
And it's not *your* fault. It's collectively everyone's fault.

The v best congressional elections in my entire lifetime were in 2008, & Obama's 111th Congress was only marginally better than FDR's & Carter's worst, & worse than all of JFK/LBJ's.

That's why Dems only do a fraction of what they promised, bc they have neither the margins nor the time to do it.
We can't get FDR- or LBJ-like results out of a 50-50 Senate. It's not possible unless we're somehow only electing Senators like Warren & Sanders.

another disappointing bump in the road. But harm reduction works. The Black and LGBTQ liberation movements are proof of that. Democracy requires participation and we can use this frustration to empower effective organization. Be mad today, absolutely. Then organize tomorrow.

The progress we’ve made isn’t nothing. Women’s/Black/LGBTQ liberation? Medicare (the start to universal healthcare)? I didn’t have rights until nearly 40, and that was ALL thanks to Obama/Dems. You’re far too smart and important a voice to be duped into voter fatigue (which is voter suppression).

But we white folks didn’t give a shit & voted GOP like we do every election since the civil rights act (guess why) & despite us literally begging for our lives, people refuse to unite behind Dems & vote & insist both parties are the same, despite one party giving us rights & the other taking them.

It was settled law, so didn’t need protection as we used to have a SCOTUS and Executive Branch who followed the law. Which is why HRC warned about SCOTUS during her run, and why Trump’s Justices perjured themselves in their nom hearings & overturned it, thus ending any modicum of law & order.

um. They did fight. Hillary said several times that the next president would nominate 3 to 4 supreme court justices. Trump was even asked about it by Chris matthews. Trump said to him that women should go to prison for having an abortion. They still voted for him. Roe was done the moment he

“Vote blue no matter who” is what got y’all Fetterman, even when Black people up there TOLD YALL who he was long before he got elected.
And now he is voting with the Republicans and breaking with the party to DOUBLE OR TRIPLE the healthcare premiums of 24 MILLION people.

THIS. I dont have TV in my home because my mama and daddy played every TV in the house 24/7 all night long and all day long for 18 years. Never having any silence shaped how I keep my home today as an adult cause I didnt have the words about neurodivergence
The amount of ppl pointing out neurodivergence and using ableism angles is weird (not saying this post specifically is)
But my observation came from my own adhd.
I would be up all night overstimulated because people CONSTANTLY needed something playing or the tv turned on.

I need to play YouTube videos in the background when I am getting ready to do something because my ADD causes me to hyperfocus on individual tasks too long and I need the ambient noise to focus and also time out my actions.

The original Dem demands were:
1) Permanent ACA subsidies
2) Medicaid funding restored
3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission)
You dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today.
Horrible.
