On Reddit, I get the impression that they've already given up, yet feel safe enough to pretty much brag about it.

This cause is close to my heart - please sign: sign.moveon.org/petitions/pr... Please sign and share this petition because Idaho is trying to get the Supreme Court to overturn marriage equality.

JIM HENSON started the show “Sam and Friends” in 1955 whilst a 19yr old Freshman at the University of Maryland. Here he is with the puppets from that show including an early version of Kermit.

Detox post: At my local grocery store, they lobster tails at the meat counter, apparently a bargain at $25 for 2. Finally made that impulse purchase, found a simple recipe for broiling with salt and pepper. Didn't have any lemon and kept overcooking the butter, but really good! Nice and juicy.

‘Chikn Nuggit’ creator Kyra Kupetsky announces her departure from the show after BuzzFeed made a requirement to feed the show to AI. “I am very anti-Al and cannot support this. Thus I am leaving to boycott this. I am so upset it's come to this and I cannot apologize enough for this happening.”

MAGA in revolt: "Abolishing human rights, federal oversight, scientific and educational standards were supposed to bring us prosperity like the world had never seen! Not disastrous fascism! Who could have guessed this would happen? WHO?" People who voted for Hillary and Kamala: 🙄

"You don't care about the brown children blown up by Obama and Biden!" But... there are literally... a school was targeted and blown up by Trump here and now! Some people really did have it too good for too long, critical and even agile thinking has been eroded by years of "being right"

The anti-democrat "Leftists" are really proving that they prefer to deny realities that conflict with their biases, even as reality happens right before their eyes Talking about Obama's drone strikes when in his first term, Trump did more in both of Obama's before classifying information on strikes

Lots of people like to mention how "some people want to watch the world burn" But how many people are prepared to talk about the number of people who would actually stop to consider the options if they had to choose between the world burning and being wrong?

To echo the sentiments of G.K. Chesterton, fairy tales do not tell children that monsters exist — because they know that already. But rather more importantly, fairy tales tell them (and us) that the monster can be killed. And such stories must never ever go out of fashion.

I remember being forced to watch Trump's first state of the union speech because of a college assignment. And to think, back then, there were people certain he'd be just another Republican...

Belated Lunar New Year meal. As per Chinese tradition, every dish here has some kind of name that is good luck. 🍸

For anyone on Reddit wishing astronomical strife and poverty on the US who might see this: There's already 20 million people in dangerous levels of poverty in spite of the Dow or whatever. The guilty will find a way to live well. You want to kick people who are already down, bleeding, and vomiting

The Democrat-haters are acting insulted that they have an obligation to do the bare minimum for the sake of common good, Of course they're reframing this as an individualist matter, Republicans have been doing that for decades, they learn from the best when it comes to grievance.

I remember that nobody said "Stay home! Denying Trump the presidency isn't worth voting against our conscience!" between chewing Kamala up and spitting on her. And yet... 90 million abstaining votes, just like 2016.

Trump's position was that Kamala was too pro-Trans, and voters believed it. The Left's position is that Kamala is too anti-Trans, and voters believed it. 🤔

Louder for those in back! I recently learned that Kamala had a lot of pro trans policies as AG back in CA, so much for her "abandoning trans people". (Another bs smear)

Well, the Markiplier sub entered my feed, and I've got to say... there's definitely going to be meta-memes. Just like how it's now more of a meme talking about how bad all the crude, 2010s Mario-is-a-monster humor is now:

For fucks sake, if you don't think there'll be elections, then no one ll show, except for the MAGAites. Stop scaring people. GET OUT N VOTE. Last time I checked, the PEOPLE have the ultimate say. If we all show up, we can overcome the bullshit.

I really hope that when midterm elections roll around everyone that can vote DOES VOTE. No more of the stupid excuse there is nobody that I like. I don't wana vote. Everybody pull your adult pants up and figure out how not voting already screwed everything up once. So let's not make it twice.

Multiple consecutive mediocre Democrats will bring more progressive policy than one second coming-level president... who has everything they did rendered moot when they wind up being succeeded by an authoritarian fascist calling themselves a Republican. Wanna bet they'll be 90 million+ abstaining?

Everyone who keeps saying AI is getting better doesn't have to work with it. It still sucks and lost the plausible deniability of an emerging tech it had when people spat that line at you five years ago.

Midterms is coming in November. Trump isn’t on the ticket yet his Spineless Congressional Republican Party Members are. If you Voted for Trump, and are Now ashamed vote Democratic Party. If you’re one of the 90 Million Lazy Fuck Democrats that didn’t vote 😡😡🗳️🗳️ Shame on You. Vote Democratic Party 👊🗳️🇺🇸

Even if you want the whole thing to be torn down or reformed after Trump is gone, there's NO guarantee it'll happen in one presidential term I wouldn't put it past the people who's one issue is that to just abstain again when their impossible expectations aren't met, then it'll will start all over

Well, I've gotten more engagement than I expected from my steam blow-off posts, so for the sake of nuance, I should say this: Murder is wrong generally, however, if you saw a list of people who suffer and die, you'd think it be because of a war instead of a legal business like private insurance...

Even from accounts I respect, the Luigi Mangione is bringing out a lot of immature hypocrisy. "The orphan crushing industry is an invioable god! Not only is murdering the executives of this industry profiting by killing wrong, it makes no difference and anyone doing so smells bad!"

That we are 13 months into this administration and so many people have yet to read Project 2025 or even look up the information the rest of us posted before and after the election... At this point, remaining ignorant to what is happening and what will happen is a choice.

The successful nonviolence and civil rights movements of the past, as I’ve gathered from reading about them, ALSO featured a shit ton of incessant petty drama and in-fighting. But crucially, they didn’t have social media - so this was kept far more private.

BREAKING: Donald Trump is reportedly terrified of one House Republican switching parties to suddenly give Democrats majority control and subpoena power to finally reveal all the Epstein Files, and hold him and all the rapists, murderers, and blackmailed traitors accountable.

“With their resistance to violent authoritarianism, the people of Minneapolis have renewed the spirit of Dr. King’s call for ‘the positive affirmation of peace.’” — The Nation

Breaking my social media hiatus for a little bit to spread good music and art vibes because sometimes (all times) you need it in your life. You can't doom scroll every day.

We will beat Trump once and for all, and our nation will be better and kinder because of it. This has been the truth of a lot of modern democracies, and the fact that it needs to be said shows how negativity and apathy protects the self the least.

"Trump is a terrible person, but this is a terrible nation, so therefore everything he does is justified" -certainly a position from people who are NOT maga.

I seriously ran into a post making an impassioned speech about the wrongness of voting for Trump. Then I replied with how 90 million people abstained over voting Democrat and they responded with "voting is what got us here" ... So apparently, some people like what Trump does, but hate the person.

"lesser of two evils". if you are referring to the last presidential election, and you say this, you really have not been paying attention. just because YOU do not personally agree with some of the stances of a politician does not make them evil. you are creating a false equivalence.

One thing many people refuse to understand is that voting for Kamala Harris doesn’t excuse you for telling everyone she sucks and convincing others not to vote for her

They impeached Trump twice. They convicted him on over 30 counts. They exposed him as a pedophile. They defeated anti-trans bills multiple times. They fought and won in the courts and in redistricting. "Controlled opposition" my ass.

The President shit himself on live TV. Melania bombed. The Epstein files are sending shockwaves through the Alt Right. Liam and his dad are back home. A Texas district that was DEEP red for 35 years flipped blue. Pretti's killers have been identified. Small wins, but you can feel the change coming.

How on Earth are people still doing "Both parties are the same" in the Year of Our Lord 2026? Even Uncommitted is like "We never said we were committed to being uncommitted."

Have you seen the sizes of the crowds of protesters lately. Have you noticed ICE goons don’t show up there.

Not only do the Trump enablers still insist that hating both sides is a valid position amid *gestures everywhere*, but they have the nerve to try to have EVEN LESS nuance than Trump voters AND turn off replies.

So you voted for Trump? Or thought it was cool to abstain? Let’s not be confused. This version of ICE, actually DHS is all Republican

Republicans and Trump forget America is the home of brave Americans not for the dictator Trump and his hack supporters who took an oath to our country not to a man. Many thanks to Minnesota for showing what patriots look like fighting for democracy and constitution rights.

Yes, the Democrats are doing well as an opposition party. No, I'm not going to cite that, mostly because nobody ever demands statements of the opposite have citations. I assume that if you're reading this, you have access toand the capability of using Google.

I just got back from Google. The fact that the top 3 results were REALLY pushing the notion that Obama is a warmonger, including one for the infamous Heritage Foundation, really shows how culpable anyone with a social media presence is in the 90 million abstaining 2024 elections.

You know, leftists insisting that they did their bit in trying to elect Harris and it wasn't them would be more persuasive if a lot of the folks involved hadn't loudly gloated about their electoral power in the heady aftermath of her defeat, before they realized it would make everyone hate them.
