Parents gave us movies like Robin Hood and Fern Gully as kids, then get surprised we hate tyrants and care about the environment.

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation. Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

The New York Times editorial board thinks Democrats should “move to the center.” Where the hell is the center between democracy and fascism?

When someone tells you they aren’t into politics or that they aren’t affected by politics… (h/t NATO Green) #Voices4Victory #ProudBlue

reading slaughterhouse 5 for the first time and i was absolutely knocked senseless by this passage, which is so true and relevant that it feels like it was pulled from a history book

i have a question for @housedemocrats.bsky.social is there any rule keeping you from going to congress and sitting in an informal session weekdays? just 'cause the speaker doesn't want to work doesn't mean you can't go sit in your seats protest in place show america what a waste of space he is

If you can’t find hope...be hope. Someone’s watching you for permission to keep going.

"disproportionate blame" alleges the company that knew about global warming in the 1970's and hid their research while actively working to sabotage the research of others the only thing "disproportionate" is that they don't carry ALL the blame ground.news/article/exxo...

Trumps Jesus

i've been saying it for YEARS now - these kid's aren't leftists and they need to stop pretending they are i haven't met a single one that wasn't anti-gun, and honey - if you haven't gone far enough left to understand the need for the proletariat to be well armed, you're not a fucking leftist 💁🏻‍♀️

this is the kind of work every national guardsmen i've ever known signed up to do - HELP people when they are most in need of help

I haven’t seen anyone talk about how Jane Doe - an Epstein survivor - just sued the Bank of New York Mellon for funding Epstein and failing to file a Suspicious Activity Report. A Mellon heir is the one who gave $130M to pay the troops. Seems bribey to me.

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

Thank you, Chicago.

translation - russia's economy is collapsing and putin can't hide it from the people anymore

gets my vote

when i was young & in the navy, i considered myself a hardcore conservative i would 💯 have refused this paycheck out of pure patriotism of course, i was single with no kids & no mortgage back then, but a lot of service members today are just like i was i'm not advocating they should, but are any?

This 👇

when a dude says "women just don't like science fiction" what you should hear is "women just don't like me." that is what they are saying

fuck yes 🙌🏻

it occurs to me that the human trafficking the united states is engaging in right now is no different than any other human sacrifice in history human sacrifices are always framed as "for the greater good" and they never are

🎯

nothing makes the pain quite so revived as realizing that your friend who died at 19 has been dead longer than she lived 🥺😭 please, remember to pull over if you are too tired to drive stay safe

If members of the United States military are truly being paid their salaries by a private individual, the American people should know who that individual is. Now.

i can't even imagine 😔 war is the stupidest thing ever invented

this is the argument i've heard from my catholic parents over and over again in my life "they think they're happy, but they can't even know true happiness because that can only be found with god" and they really, truly, believe it. it's horrifying

Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics. It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history. It corrupts our political system every day.

so turns out i have body dysmorphia, but in the opposite way of most people? i just found out that i have a bigger waistline than the "thank goodness i'm not as fat as that guy" guy i know i *really* thought i was smaller than him well... shit

Hotline to call for ICE Gestapo illegal plate swapping! #iceout

saw Karinne Jean Pierre on colbert the other day & i agree with her - biden got railroaded the part that kills me? if he'd stayed in the race, he'd have won & we'd have harris as president now because he'd have stepped down the moment he got his cancer diagnosis pushing him out was shortsighted

it's the annual benefits selection time! next year do i want to keep the good health insurance that would keep us afloat if someone gets sick, and not be able to pay my mortgage? or do i switch to the cheap plan that means i can pay my mortgage, but if someone gets sick we're fucked 🤔 #Murica

“oh so you think the east wing being demolished is worse than-“ it’s a synecdoche, man. a visual metaphor. there’s a reason the aliens in Independence Day don’t aim a huge laser at SNAP benefits

“The fact that millions of people share the same vices does not make these vices virtues, the fact that they share so many errors does not make the errors to be truths, and the fact that millions of people share the same form of mental pathology does not make these people sane.” — Erich Fromm

amazing 😍

I wish people defended smeared victims of sexual violence the way they defend problematic male candidates for office

it's amazing how one tone deaf sentence can change the world i submit that the press secretary's statement is even more outrageous than "let them eat cake"

If scientists ran the same experiment as many times as Dem campaign strategists have tried the experiment of throwing progressives under the bus to pander to the right and failed, they'd accept it as irrefutable proof that their theory is flawed and adjust accordingly.

the möbius grift 👌🏻 perfectly coined, @colbertlateshow.bsky.social

Even in the movies, scenes of the White House getting blown up by invading aliens or terrorists feel emotionally unsettling. It’s the People’s House after all. So imagine having to witness its destruction in real life…and the culprit is the President.

i want more people to understand that SNAP is what's been keeping billionaires heads on they seem to have forgotten that the only reason the poor huddled masses have accepted a wealth gap this extreme is because their children aren't starving once that happens, all bets are off

“Can you put two and two together about what’s going on here??” @saikatforcongress.bsky.social connects the dots for the panel
