the only thing democrats should be saying today is “the entire republican party is engaged in a coverup of the most notorious child sex trafficking ring in world history”

i think if the democrats had dug in their heels and said "this is the epstein shutdown. trump is starving the country because he doesn't want the epstein files to come out" they probably could have ended him. so it was very kind of them to not do that

“The Republicans were being blamed for all of this chaos…and yet, days later this this group of Democrats with the tacit support of Chuck Schumer decide that they’re going to end this and cave.”

And yet he allowed a South African immigrant be the second president for a while

The art of folding a winning hand

lol mike johnson isn't committing to doing the ACA house vote once this is over. the democratic party has somehow stabbed itself in the back. chuck schumer isn't playing 4D, 3D or 2D chess. he's just playing with himself.

Seattle's Mamdani is winning by an absurdly small margin over our incumbent mayor, who once pulled a gun on a pregnant woman in a parking lot. Vote in your local elections! www.thestranger.com/news/2025/11...

this is literally never not accurate

I received this email about Democrats caving to end the shutdown from one of the SNAP recipients I spoke to:

Enough is enough. Contact your Democratic senators TODAY and tell them to call for Senator Schumer to step aside as Minority Leader. We desperately need new leadership in the Democratic Party.

Schumer can be removed from his Dem leadership role this week - 23 Dems (and/or independents) just have to vote to depose him And they should, given this is his fault.

In a nutshell, this is it. They will try to destroy any leftist takeover, like they did with Bernie, even if this means more power to the GOP. *Nothing* that Trump has done (ICE, Cecot, tariffs, USAID, frivolous prosecutions of Trump oponents, even the murder of the Hortmans) matters to them.

So it was pointless. Fucking pointless. All the suffering of people who lost their SNAP benefits, unpaid federal workers, for NOTHING. We needed to hold the line and weather the pain in order to prevent a greater pain. But democrats have NO FUCKING SPINE. And it was for NOTHING!

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful. Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened. This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

Hard to look at all the facts and not come to the conclusion that Dems are losing on purpose. I'm trying to be charitable but there's just nothing else coming to mind

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

Schumer has shown us time and time again why he must go. When Democrats need to show spine he shows that he hasn't any. He should be removed as minority leader and primaries in the upcoming election.

Like, this also sends a message to the Trump administration that they CAN just do whatever the fuck they want

Yeah, I'm sorry, but you do not keep the government shut for more than a month and then NOT get a deal on the main item you have been messaging on without completely shifting the blame dynamic.

So, they're caving in their whole red line... They're selling us out. They refused to hold the line.

Something I think most minorities and radicals understand which most centrists don't is that conservatives fundamentally believe that all the suffering in the world is inevitable. They see life as a zero sum game; 'those people' must suffer so that they can maintain their level of comfort.

We need our own Nuremberg trials

If you're arrested in Illinois for the means by which you acquire food for your family because of the government shutdown or loss of SNAP benefits, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at [email protected]. As always, I will take as many cases as I can.

Head's up there is a Bluesky ban scam going around. This account just joined 40 mins ago and send me this DM. DO NOT CLICK THE LINK. Bluesky would NEVER send a DM like this and make you scared. This would come through email and would have a more professional email than this. Stay safe!

"The administration is doing everything in its power to make sure people starve." If any American can turn their head without reading that, or turn on their TV without hearing it, anyone claiming power in opposition is failing.

Call me controversial, but technology that leads vulnerable people into crisis and even holds their hand as they die by suicide should not be endorsed by schools and universities, we should not be giving discounted subscriptions to this monstrous tech to young people AT ALL

Curtis Yarvin is planning flee the country. Steve Bannon is worried about returning to prison. Don't listen to anyone who says the fascists have already won. The future is not yet written.

I saw a list article once titled "10 Men Ruined By the Kardashian Women" and OJ Simpson was on the list

The thing about Mamdani is that he’s so normal and so many people are so weird about him. And it becomes really hard to miss the fact it’s mostly because he’s Muslim

turns out milking 9/11 for 25 years to justify insane bigotry doesn’t really work anymore

This is just cruelty for cruelty's sake. She was also living and working LEGALLY in the US. This shit is a fucking pogrom, a racial purge. Wake the fuck up people, and protect your community

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video. I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children. But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

Aaaaahhhaaaaahhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaa!!

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

BREAKING: California voters approve a new House map designed to help Democrats net 5 seats next year, NBC News projects, countering Republican redistricting in other states.

serious note: they're gonna try 5x harder to sabotage the midterms after tonight and we're gonna have to organize on a literally historic scale to stop them

I wonder if Dems are going to realize that simply not being the other guys is no longer enough, and they actually have to like, do stuff for actual human people, now.

I do not think the era of Islamophobia or anti Arab racism is over but I do think this book ends a particular era of a particular kind of Democratic politics and opens up a new one

As many have pointed out, Mamdani didn't stand apart from our trans brothers and sisters. He didn't play the "Gee, gosh, it sure is complicated," milquetoast moderate card. And he crushed. The way forward is together, not over the bodies of our own.

Seeing Mamdani win by a LANDSLIDE is giving me hope. That’s such a big deal these days. It’s amazing.

I love when rich assholes threaten to leave New York City or California or wherever like they haven’t figured out yet how much ordinary people hate them and how it’s actually hurting their cause

I don't know what will happen in NYC tonight, but I do know that regardless of outcome, any number of public figures, celebrities, politicians and institutions that oppose Mamdani have done so with a level of rhetorical ugliness, racism, and dishonesty that should neither be forgotten nor forgiven.

hey guys, i need help after being disowned for being transgender and having my car totaled in the same month if you see this please share/comment/boost thank you ❤️‍🩹 gofund.me/5c6e99e7b

It's just so horrifyingly racist too

It’s truly tragic how many of these US war criminals like Cheney never face justice and die in their peacefully in their homes in their 80s and 90s. I want to be happy he is dead but I am not. The million people he killed didnt get the luxury to die how he did.
