no matter how disappointed you may be in the democratic party you will never be as disappointed as the democratic party is in you for expecting anything of them at all

yea the problem with poverty and food scarcity is that once people experience extended food scarcity that shit is carved in there forever. this was a major observable thing after the great leap forward and its resulting famine

ALWAYS "sorry guys, but wait 'til next time!" w the dems

I know people like shiny things so I found a link where you can see where/how many data centers there are even for a specific zip code kinda interesting to see www.businessinsider.com/data-center-...

very true! where i'm from, "evangelical" is mostly synonymous politically and theologically with "white [anti-black] conservatism." didn't know it had theological implications until college. lol

An excellent question. The evidence shows pretty persuasively that many Black people don’t use these terms “liberal” or “conservative” in any context. They are terms that are simply not part of lots of people’s political or social lexicon.

This perfectly encapsulates how I feel living in the US. The republican party is an insane death cult, the democratic party is 3 corporations in a trench coat, and the "socialists" are just the completely normal left-wing capitalists you'd find in any of 2 dozen European nations.

Abdullah told me he’s spent weeks at the hospital with his brother. He managed to have surgery to fix the blood clots but now the doctors think he needs a skin graft to save his leg. He is hoping to raise money for the surgery.

I don't think people realize how much a trillion dollars is. Let's say you get paid a million dollars per day. That's a lot, right? If you spend none of it and pay no taxes, you'll have a trillion dollars in approximately two thousand seven hundred (2700) YEARS. No one should have that much.

The NYC Mayoral election showed us that billioniares will spend 10+ million dollars to prevent having to pay $20k more a year in taxes to let people afford to live in the same cities as them.

Just a small reminder that just because you think you see less generated content, it does not mean there is less generated content.

school meals should also be free for everybody who works there. hell, this is true of so many 9-to-5's...we could really have a country were it not for greed.

once you know, its hard not to notice on these major platforms...and if you log out and go to log back in, it's fairly blatant.

like I said before, its going to be important for progressive left candidates - especially after they win office - to resist being absorbed into the old guard, traditional centrist "machine" by legacy dems who don't even like them or their ideas

I love that Zohran did not praise Cuomo in his speech. You absolutely do not have to say nice things about bad people. We should normalize that in “polite” politics: Praising bad people is not actually “civility.”

Big day for people who care about other people

I’m just a small-town political scientist, & it’s still relatively early, but it appears that The Actual Democrats did not Need To Do any of the Things or Learn any of the Obvious Lessons that Ezra Douthglesias said they Must Do & Learn.

Maybe nobody in the great big world cares about this. But the public libraries in tiny Jefferson County in Northern Appalachia were in danger of losing their tax funding thanks to right-wing book banners. And we won. The library's funding is safe!!!!!

As many have pointed out, Mamdani didn't stand apart from our trans brothers and sisters. He didn't play the "Gee, gosh, it sure is complicated," milquetoast moderate card. And he crushed. The way forward is together, not over the bodies of our own.

Every new post tonight is like Dems have flipped the Mehaden town sewer authority, long dominated by conservatives, by a +38 margin

LOCAL ELECTION RESULT: Let me congratulate @zysaidso.bsky.social for her election to the Charlottesville School Board. For those wondering: Zyahna Bryant was a student organizer who led the successful fight in removing two confederate statues from downtown Charlottesville.

California Democrats’ proposal to redraw congressional districts to stymie President Trump’s agenda was approved by voters. Read more at the link in bio where you can find our live coverage of the election ➡ www.latimes.com/california/l...

Hearing “first woman elected governor” and “first woman elected mayor” is still wild as hell.

I am interested in talking to anyone who has both: + Created a novel, comic, video game, etc + Loves playing DnD, Pathfinder, or another TTRPG about the impact tabletop gaming has had on your creative process. Let me know if you are interested in talking about it with me.

(thought he was already dead)

the IP franchises today still don't compare to those of the 80s/early 90s....whole entire tv shows/cartoons with semi-annual film or holiday specials, happy meal exclusives, book series, candy, albums, clothing lines, toy lines, vitamins, even school supply brands.

deja vu wasn’t there another outlet that laid off their politics staff…maybe i daydreamed it but i feel like i read so many of these responses before

because terms like mutual aid aren't used in my community, I often have to remind myself what it looks like in my context. simple and practical things like how we were taught to keep extra towels, dishes, clothing items, etc so when we ran across people in need, we had a lil extra to give away.

lotta people saying to donate to food banks which is great, but if that’s not available to you, often they are desperate for volunteers! shifts can be short, a few hours when you’re free, doing stuff like sorting boxes, making sandwiches, or delivering meals, depending on the org

This year we should be supporting our fellow artists and writers as much as possible. Help us continue to give independent creativity a space to be celebrated by reading Locus Magazine! linktr.ee/locusmagazine

me, staring out the front window with my coffee, listening to the sister act 2 soundtrack (again): "we needed this rain!"

so happy Louisiana folks will likely get their snap benefits subsidized. sad that devils like him doing the one good thing is often enough to stay in power. but it's a lesson about how much need there really is AND how gettin' crucial shit done vs pretending to be helpless all the gd time is key.

please save room in your heart and join me in hating the ways "social media speak" has poisoned writing/public speaking habits. brb, off to explain why "no one talks about" and "most people think" are not credible justifications or real statistics. again. x2369010005. AGAIN!

I’m going to need everybody to be kinder to themselves.Everything is a lot right now. Our brains are really mean sometimes.You are not perfect and none of us are and no one ever will be. You look hot, even when your territories shift with age & weight.You are worthy of love,especially from yourself.
