A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

As a democrat do you have a redline? It wasn’t genocide It’s not funding ICE It’s not Roe vs Wade It’s not healthcare It’s not minimum wage It’s not affordable housing It’s not endless wars I honestly want to know what your redline is to get you to abandon a party that already abandoned you

With the US president saying Nato/British troops stayed "off the front line" in Afghanistan, Nigel Farage won't want British voters being reminded that he called Donald Trump "the bravest man I have ever met."

If you want to know what people mean when they say Democrats are "controlled opposition," rather than whipping votes against ICE funding, Hakeem Jeffries struck a deal with Republicans to allow Democrats to feign outrage at ICE while still funding the spending package.

Then, as now, the call was coming from *inside* the house. The sooner we accept that fact & the historical relationship btwn white moderates & white supremacy, the sooner we can abandon this farce & work towards genuine democracy & equality.

It exposes directional alignment; you still seek to limit, not expand, who is allowed to be human. Yes, you have set your limitation more inclusively than our fascist gang of white supremacists; it doesn't mean you're not also setting limitations & they'll use your limit as long as it serves them.

I can't trust politicians who are anti-trans. Not because I'm "only searching for perfection" which is what centrists will be accusing me of for the rest of my life, it's because if you're not pro-trans you'll be garbage on lots of other issues too. Being anti-trans NEVER exists in a vacuum.

Okay starting today im gonna be switching to vegan options only at dorm and ill see if i can convince my dad to do the same so we can change our vegetarian food at home to vegan too
