Americans are fundamentally incapable of consequential protests in the 21st century beyond Saturday flashes in the pan.

Capitalist Rorschach test.

new conspiracy theory: Trump started the war to get out of going to his son's wedding

There are no decent billionaires. Never have been, never will be. @govpritzker.illinois.gov @mcuban.bsky.social @tomsteyerhq.bsky.social

Tax the rich. All of them.

No reason to swim if you can't see the bottom.

The $900B/yr taxpayer funded US military is an irredeemable, indiscriminate merchant of death & destruction. It targets civilians. No one joins the military to make the world a better place. If you want to train to save people, join the Coast Guard. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Israel posted this online knowing that there is an internet blackout.

The US can spend hundred of billions $$ sending people to the moon in 1969 but is fundamentally incapable of building an electric train that goes faster than 140mph in 2026.

Europe hearing the U.S. ask for help after calling European NATO veterans “losers.”

@booker.senate.gov torturously defending the vacuum of integrity of "really good" Republicans who fundamentally refuse to speak publicly about objectively odious behavior is why the Democratic Party sucks and is irredeemable.

Democrats could get ahead of the voter ID issue by proposing automatic registration for every US citizen and issuing national ID cards that can be used for voting, travel, entering govt buildings and yes, buying beer. But sadly Dems aren’t good at politics or alternatives.

It took a young Muslim democrat socialist to pursue a long overdue childcare initiative in the world’s 10th largest economy and the financial capital of the planet.

What the rest of the party is fundamentally incapable of articulating.

Iran has 9 months paid maternity leave and 53 days paid vacation -infinitely more than the any US state and more than the US will ever have.

By every objective metric, Americans as a society are truly awful and irredeemable. Contempt for other peoples’ kids is à hallmark.

ICE is already funded through 2029. @schumer.senate.gov imbecility is eternal. He needs to be exiled from political life and his hair plugs donated to less fortunate bald people.

Strike, boycott and paralyze the economy until the govt buckles.

This man has more vigor, tenacity and integrity than the entire Democratic congressional party.

A society that doesn’t revolve around cars and doesn’t have contempt for pedestrians & bicyclists.

Amazing. Absolutely amazing.

I voted & am pissed that the D party doesn’t make basic work/life benefits the cornerstone of their campaign & ruthlessly pursue them while they happily provide those taxpayer funded benefits to civilian DoD employees & their families-but not everyone else. US workers deserve paid vacation.

You won't hear military leadership (present or retired) defending NATO troops who served alongside the US b/c their unconditional loyalty is to the Hegseth, lest they lose their pension. Military leadership is a vacuum of integrity: contemptuous of foreign countries & people, happy to bomb boats.

Remarkable.

Yes, Liz Cheney the liberal stalwart who voted for Trump twice, voted against his Ukraine impeachment and with him 90%. I present to you the erudite American voter.

You had me at soft. Unlikely but sign me up. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Visceral contempt for a non-threatening mother.

Get out of our existence.

My sources say they’re going to replace the super-bowl halftime show with a Maduro perp walk.

Absolutely. Because anyone slightly to the left of center holding objective actions accountable are viewed as being biased in the 21st century.

Maybe there is an alternate reality where whining is an asset and a superpower

Dems thinking that Trump wouldn’t be redacted is why the party will always lose. Dems are past their laying age & needs to be turned to soup.

Why do so many US homes have fake shutters? They’re even on sheds and garages.

So there's a credit card machine at the hospital desk like in Sweden but the 12 stiches for my finger costs $3700.

How many outboard boats can make the 1300 mile trip from Caracas to Miami without refueling?

There is a vacuum of integrity, dignity and solidarity within US media. They’ll happily watch their colleagues be humiliated and grovel for access to the spectacle. Every reason to ignore legacy media.

And the press, which has a vacuum of integrity, dignity or solidarity just begs for more. In any other civilized society the press would stand up for their fellow journalists instead of groveling for "access" to sell advertising.

You don’t need a tank to go get shitty drip coffee or to drop kids off at school.

The party exists to fundraise off sustained mediocrity. Nothing else.

Taxpayers deserve the same work/life benefits that civilian dept of defense employees & their families get. Anything short of that is extortion and theft.

If the US had fast electric trains that don’t require air traffic controllers, Americans might have gotten affordable healthcare as a concession.

Long past time for progressives to use leverage and leave the party unless they reflect the will of voters who want progressive policies (healthcare, child/elder care, U pre-k…) that civilian DoD employees & their families get and objectively aren’t radical.

"You deserve a better society" is a war cry I will happily sign up for and chant all day.

Mamdani should have gone to the lengths of normalizing childcare, modern public transportation & basic work/life benefits that Dems did for normalizing Liz Cheney. Free childcare isn't radical. Neither are the basic work/life benefits that civilian DoD employees get. Opposition to it is.

Democrat leadership that refuses to raise taxes on the 350,000 millionaires & billionaires in NYC & across the state and who also oppose a public option are a huge part of the problem. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/06/n...

I will never understand why democrats oppose a public option in favor of private for-profit insurance being the only marketplace option. Unless it’s because insurance companies donate heavily to candidates who oppose public options. Maybe it’s all about fundraising & greed instead of healthcare

The inherent problem is that free childcare and other basic work/life benefits aren't radical. The radical part is that civilian Dept of Defense employees get 100% taxpayer funded work/life benefits that private sector taxpayers don't, and the Democratic party doesn't care.

Dems' tragic legacy of disastrous US healthcare will be that they gave up on a public option in exchange for private for-profit insurers being the only marketplace option. All because of fundraising and endemic greed. For-profit insurers donate heavily to candidates who oppose public options.

Yes, but billionaires shouldn’t be coddled with a “fair share” unless it is over 50%.
