If we actually want to appreciate moms, we should be providing free childcare, healthcare, and guaranteed income for stay-at-home parents to put more money in families’ pockets and ensure no SAHP is reliant on a partner for their economic security. Idk I think that’s better than 15% off a vacuum.

I often say that the fight for democracy is the fight of our generation. But let me be clear, if you aren’t fighting for Black voting rights right now then you aren’t really fighting for democracy.

Do your thing internet 😂

a thing about AOC/MTG Discourse is that AOC worked at the same place as MTG for years and probably you didn't

Local taco chain has historic photos with the plaque and gave the choking sign the treatment. Such a stupid random thing gives me so much delight.

This dog was a three term mayor of Whoville.

Not once in my entire life have US automakers been ahead of the curve on a single goddamn thing

Anyway, get to ground. It's always my *advice* [when I offer any]. Get hyper local. Find your people and fight where you are. This is where you can make the most impact and a real difference. Do this as much as you can, take care of yourself, and take care of your people.

The revolution cannot come fast enough at this point

For the people who think Woke 2 is just around the corner because of how bad Trump is doing in the polls, the SCOTUS just made it really easy to destroy every blue district in the south and there are Dem voters actively defending a guy with a Nazi tattoo as a good option for a Senate seat, so,

welcome to the democratic party where a keffiyeh is disqualifying and a totenkopf isn't. please chip in $50 today so we can end fascism

Brad and everyone like him are idiots and the sooner we treat them like idiots and not innocent hardworking decent people who were just confused the sooner we can get this country back on track.

Passing this along - fucking scammers leveling up, here's a new one to pay attention to.

The Platner equivocating now is just as shameful as it was before. Nazi shit is a bright line you do not cross. Once you say it is something that can be overlooked for your party, you are functionally saying it is something that can be overlooked, period.

People get this. Doesn’t mean we’re not upset that both the system and Maine residents are making us have to root for a fucking Nazi as the lesser of two evils.

fucking-a, ALL OF THIS 👇

Not sure everyone is prepared for just how much Platner's Nazi tattoo is gonna give the right ammo for the 6 years he's in office. Don't say you weren't warned when your favorite big papers (in addition to every elected R) spend every day telling Dems to shut up about Nazis because of it.

Raise your hand if you’re an American man who has never, not once, not even “I was drunk once in college”, had a Nazi phase. 👋

The problem that I *personally* have with this, in re Newsom, Platner, et al, is that none of them have given any indication that their policies will be progressive. Newsom is still doing the podcast w nazis thing, Platner is spouting ‘working man’ platitudes. But what will they actually do?

“Trump’s grip on the Republican Party faces these challenges” Stop it. Trump could waddle naked across the South Lawn screaming about how Obama was spying on him from inside the White House microwave, and the GOP would clap like obedient seals.

Conservatives still apoplectic that the block function on Bluesky actually works, so they can’t get any traction here. 😂

looking forward to Oh No The National Debt becoming the single most pressing issue for the national media the second a Democrat takes office again, as is tradition

Fuck this whole Collins-Platner thing and the system that *required* it to happen.

Yeah the interconnectivity of fascism is super interesting. But when you get into it & start challenging notions the pushback becomes fierce People don’t like when you say there could be no holocaust without Jim Crow People don’t wanna hear that as we fought WW2 we tried to maintain race law here

Every historian worth their shit that studies fascism & domestic discord is so funny because they’re all the nicest people alive & they all come to the same conclusion which is that yeah you just gotta kill these guys. Can’t leave one alive.

I don’t think people are understanding that the civil rights movement included a lot of violence.

This is actually the perfect distillation of the right wing worldview. A predatory industry treats consumers unfairly so it must be immigrants' fault.

On the one hand, the crashing of LIV Golf ends the most shameful money grab in the history of that or maybe any sport. On the other hand ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha …

This👇🏽 deserves to be posted 100 times but I’d be labeled spam.

So many people urge us to vote if we are dissatisfied with our democracy. And yes voting matters. But as today’s Supreme Court ruling tells us, it’s not that simple. Not everyone who should have the right to vote can exercise that right.

it’s simple. Dems need to 1. prepare retaliatory gerrymanders in every blue state now that the VRA has been overturned 2. pack the court (and prosecute Thomas/alito) in 2029 I will only even *consider* primary candidates who support both of the above going forward

Once again, Gavin Newsom is showing his willingness to throw *anyone* under the bus. This man cannot be our democratic nominee for president in 2028.

This guy seems like he understands the assignment better than anyone else in the race. Hope California voters take notice.

democrats: we're waiting for our good friends the republicans to wake up and turn on trump republicans: we're indicting james comey for an instagram pic and trying to get disney thrown off air cause jimmy kimmel talked shit about us

One nice thing about these NYTimes safaris into the minds of Trump voters is that they prove the futility of chasing any Trump voters. No Democrat should make any effort to get their vote, their decisions are entirely outside of your power to influence. Stick to Dems and Dem-leaning.

Melania - Your husband was gleeful about the deaths of Robert Mueller & Rob Reiner, he yells at & demeans female reporters on a weekly basis, he encouraged a mob to endanger the life of his former Vice President. And on and on. . . So, Melania, America is asking you to kindly f*ck all the way off.

“We’ll tear it down, and we’ll seize the assets of anyone who participated in building it and refund it to the taxpayers.” That’s it. That’s the campaign. 350 electoral votes. Just do it. Think like an average American for once for godssakes

Trump ran in 2016 because he was still humiliated, five years later, by the jokes Obama told about him at the 2011 WHCD. youtube.com/shorts/4H47R...

Have you ever noticed that the massive, coordinated, multi-year assault on trans rights is based on NOTHING WHATSOEVER

It's an understudied element of our media environment that Republicans can insult Democrats in any way they see fit, regardless of propriety or truth value, without repercussion, but Dems are consistently forced to use measured tones to describe Republicans no matter how outrageous their actions.

The Feds can try to end Bluesky as a communication and organizing tool for the political opposition, but they're too late. We've already blocked each other so hard no one has any idea what's going on.

The lifting of the plastic cup upon completion is just 👨‍🍳💋

i’m not going to be lectured about political violence by people whose politics is violence
