No FEMA buyouts have been approved under the current administration for North Carolina homes left unlivable after Hurricane Helene. Families are stuck paying mortgages on houses they can’t live in, with foreclosure looming. (WaPo)

another mediocre racist chud for all the lists

if you’re gonna demand that Democrats don’t accept money from billionaires or corporate PACs, then guess what? SOMEONE has to fund them. That “someone” has to be you & me. The price of saving democracy is a lot of annoying texts/emails. I try to at least spare you those. Blue26.org

If you insist on being a "single issue" voter, let ousting the GOP from every legislative position across the entire country be your single fucking issue.

It’s pretty wild that the most rabidly anti-immigrant administration in recent memory is comprised of a President married to an immigrant, a VP married to the daughter of immigrants, an assistant AG in charge of Civil Rights who’s an immigrant (Dhillon), & it was all funded by an immigrant (Musk).

They warned us!

What’s the appeal for those of you who follow this account?

JD Vance's career was financed by Peter Thiel, an immigrant, and one of Trump's biggest fundraisers was his AI czar, David Sacks, also an immigrant. Trump's Secretary of Labor Lori Chavez-Deremer is the daughter of an immigrant, and his Secretary of State Rubio is also the son of immigrants.

Mad because Kamala Harris refuses to show up to work for a job she was not hired to do and the guy who was hired is a massive screw up. Why Kamala Harris work for free?

It sucks that my husband and I can't safely visit my family in the US anymore. And this time of year is always a painful reminder for my husband that he's not in contact with his. Our neighbor was nice enough to invite us over for her holiday party last minute, but it was still a lonely Christmas.

Clinton: Don't trust me, release the files. Trump: Don't release the files, trust me.

They THINK they're morally superior but they're morally repugnant. They didn't GAF about the hundreds of millions who'd suffer if Trump won, including the Ukrainians whose flag they have in their bios right next to their BLM #s. No food because no SNAP & no Christmas gifts because no paycheck-TDGAF.

Not only does this intentionally violate the First Amendment to the US Constitution, it’s vile to watch mean-spirited, selfish ghouls who starve the poor and kidnap people for their skin color sanctimoniously pretending they follow any of the teachings of Jesus.

These "Dems folded" leftists really have shit for brains.🤦🏾‍♀️ We all knew Democrats were poised to lose the Senate in 2024 & control of the House was essential, but just like the presidential race, they fucked it up & think ensuring federal workers get paid while people receiving SNAP eat is "folding."

Growing up in a part of the north east that both loves the Boss and plays Sinatra often I've heard stories like this more than once.

Note the date. We knew a long time ago.

Remember when we never even needed to think about this stuff?

From GayBuzzer: This show has hit me in all the feels, and I highly recommend it.

When I was growing up, there was a saying that was drilled into me that apparently Leftists have never heard, and the current younger generation has never heard: "Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good." Take the good when you can get it, and work towards perfection whenever possible.

Thread: Please read to the end.

What we could have had... what we should have had... Someone who understands this vital, central truth:

I think about the time that I saw two white women get extremely incredibly ridiculously demented over the fact that white people have voted for the republican in every election since the civil rights act was passed. One of them had a screenshot from an AI site that had two elections reversed lol.

The other one was just the other day and she had I think 15,000 followers. She was just arguing and being condescending and also clowning people and insulting them because they dared to say this. She didn't even have an incorrect screenshot. Just vibes lol. A lot of white men do this too of course.

Truth.

Great show. Great ratings. Great reviews. Sadly, canceled anyway. There won't be a season 2. If you haven't watched it, make sure it's on your list.

It's still the Kennedy Center. It's still the Department of Defense. It's still the Gulf of Mexico. The whims of a delusional narcissist do not change reality, and nobody should be coddling him or participating in his delusions. This is still the United States, and the rule of law should matter.

I remember those days painfully, and it hurts that this is still a situation that exists all across the country, and certainly around the world. I wish you strength to make it through the charade.

Miller can't even watch a warm Christmas program without thinking about how much he hates brown people.

Call me crazy but there isn’t too much I would not believe about the guy who engineered an insurrection and stole top secret documents

Exactly.

Protest voters/nonvoters deserve all the blame. It didn’t require much foresight to imagine the possible consequences of a trump administration.

The President of the United States is celebrating the fact that 271,000 Americans lost their jobs On Christmas

Maureen Daud said Donald was "the dove" and Hillary "the hawk"... none of these takes were ever credible or remotely serious. Just a bunch of flawed people enabling mad tyrants.

Gazans: Please elect Harris. Leftists: No!!!

I don't want gen AI in my software I don't want gen AI in my phone I don't want gen AI in my email I don't want gen AI in my recipes I don't want gen AI in my safety documentation I don't want gen AI in my schools I don't want gen AI in my healthcare I don't want gen AI in my life

Not the first time this has happened, not by a long shot. Lots of complaining and noise when Democrats are in office. From left, right, and center. Ok, you got what you wanted, the GOP back in full control of the country. Is it so much better? Did this fix everything? Did it fix...anything?

I would argue that not only has life NOT improved over the last year, it has gotten worse. More expensive. More unstable. More hostile. More fearful. America has defeated itself. None of this had to happen. It was a choice.

Let me tell you something about the U.S. government. They have broken the social contract. The Leviathan is broken. Governments exist ONLY because of the social contract. Ontologically, human nature is fear. That was what was agreed. To remove the fear. We gave up some

of our freedoms to the Leviathan, that the government will keep us safe and reduce fear. Well, this MF government induces fear. It doesn’t reduce. Any government that breaks the social contract. Is an illegitimate government and shouldn’t exist. It’s taking all of our freedoms through fear.

The LGBTQ rights movement learned harm reduction from the Black Liberation movement. We literally would not have rights if it weren’t for Black people (esp Black trans women leading our movement). Yet when I educate leftist white trans folks on this LGBTQ history, I’m labeled a “trans scapegoater” 🥴

Dozens of energy projects cancelled in California.    Now five more on the East Coast.    All because Donald Trump wants to kill cheap, renewable energy.    Want to know who will pay the price for Trump's job killing cancellations? Check your utility bill next year and you will see.

Imagine being a white trans person and thinking you can threaten to withhold your vote as a punishment to Black people. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Please be fucking for real. See you at the gallows, bitch.

🚨 ONLY 364 DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS! 🚨

Yup—99% of white ppl define and envision “racism” as KKK-level acts of hate ONLY. IF they haven’t committed one such violent act of racist terrorism, THEN whatever’s being identified as racist, simply couldn’t’ve been— ESPECIALLY if they didn’t even intend anything hateful by what they said/did.
