Anyone picking the centrist path is a Republican. Jig is up, baby. Clinton Wing of the Dem party is done. Go that way and die. If you want to win a seat, get on the side of the good guys. Or run as a Republican.

How are people uploading videos longer than 60s on here???

Remember when I said I think our sense of time is being f’d with by these platforms - here is a great example from @imanibarbarin.bsky.social educating us on asynchronous communication www.instagram.com/reel/DUIyx7N...

I Keep seeing MFs try to whitewash Biden and his administration You look Ridiculous and very unsafe to be around

They’re now saying that Democrats tiktok page is getting suppressed and I have to say: Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah

How do you write a whole story about the safety of trans youth in CA without mentioning the existential threat that is Gavin Newsom.

And while we’re at it, ask yourself why your favorite liberal commentator or personality is condemning ICE but never venturing to criticize Democrats and leaders who aren’t using their power to stop them and ask yourself if there’s a financial reason for it.

"Right now, the Democratic party and its leaders are trying to tell you 'oh, it can be reformed. Oh, it's this version of ICE that's the problem, but the reality is fascism is a virus and if you don't fucking treat it, to eradicate it, it will always be there to sicken and fucking slaughter you" 🔥🔥🔥

Dems treated both viruses, covid and fascism, the exact same way. youtube.com/shorts/U9DHa...

If every Democrat voted NO on funding ICE, it would not have passed the House. But, 7 House Democrats voted to fund Trump's lawless, masked goons, so it passed. Hakeem Jeffries refused to whip his members to vote against ICE funding. Genuinely unforgivable.

Once when we wanted to show the ineffectual dithering of The Good Place Committee, we had one of them say, "There are rules, procedures. This is The Good Place -- we can't just *do stuff.*" We almost didn't include it, because we thought it was a little on the nose.

Look at the date. Disabled people told you. They made too many disabled people.

No, they specifically chose 8 Dems not up for reelection to end the government shutdown and side with republicans. Meaning they are aware of mass calls to primary establishment Dems.

I know that primarying Dems is the call to action for the moment, but why can’t we recall them too when they vote against their constituents wishes or ignore public outcry? Their manipulation in ending the shutdown for a pinky promise shows them working around primaries.

There’s something worse than Trump coming. youtube.com/shorts/EhsKw...

How do you contact your reps? Right here mother pupper! Go to the left menu, type in KOSA and they literally tell you what to write and say. You barely have to do any work. Find your legislators and get going! This is everyone’s to do list today.

If KOSA passes, never expect Dems to win again. youtube.com/shorts/8NfV8...

A lot of you are hoping Republicans crumble so you won’t have to rely on Democrats. It’s very transparent.

kind of funny that "you are not allowed to criticize the democrats for any reason" isn't seen as the highest expression of "purity politics."

I’ve spent $2k on this goddamn tooth thusfar.

Celiacs disease is hard to adjust to especially when you’re Black…

Insurance companies in this country are such a scam bc tell me why I got dental insurance because of a tooth emergency but my plan doesn’t have to cover major dental work until I’ve been ON THE PLAN FOR A YEAR???

Democrats are leaning into the meme war because they think if they win in culture, they don’t have to win in policy—and no one will notice. I’m gonna use that. I’m writing it down so I don’t forget.

Are there any metal workers in the Philadelphia area that can help me fix a mobility aid?

A lot of you believe in eugenics because it’s the only facet to white supremacy and racism you have access to because if pain and suffering were the prerequisites to not having reproductive choice then no one other than straight, white, Nondisabled men would exist.
