It’s becoming an increasingly unavoidable conclusion that a portion of mostly establishment Democrat electeds/pundits/consultants don’t like Democratic voters much and would much prefer to have Republican voters instead, and view their voters’ insistence on being represented as an annoying betrayal.
This is absolutely true, but I fear the party apparatus genuinely doesn’t give a shit because they care about tech bro cash (and approval) more than they care about winning elections.

The largest nurse and healthcare professional strike in Massachusetts history is underway in Boston this morning.
I unfollowed a few men who were being assholes to ppl who had misgivings about Platner and I wonder what they’re saying about it now but not enough to check tbh
Everyone pointing out that someone is “only a citizen because of birthright” feels super icky. Most Americans are birthright citizens, so singling out/othering POC to make a political point doesn’t seem helpful.
I fucking love baseball but unfortunately we will definitely have to send most players to the reeducation camps after the revolution.
Flat Pluto Society@adhdgobl.in · last mo.MLB players: Christ the King will return to cleanse the world of communism and homosexuals. NBA players: The Moon landing was faked because they didn't want us to learn that the Earth is flat.

Sam (ABeardedPanda)@abeardedpanda.bsky.social · last mo.For the final time, Ukrainians (or anyone brutalized by the Russians) are trying to tell you that you should more critically approach Russian cultural works given the society and context that produced them because most of you don't do this and treat them as if they exist in an apolitical vacuum

Everyone else walks out at midnight. I guess we're on strike.

They are beasts as we are beasts. Men are animals that speak.
To honor Pride Trump is keeping the "strait" closed and I think that is beautiful ❤️🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
I usually try to explain it like this: picture Jimmy Dore as Peter Taaffe. Now imagine they're Ojibwe. Doesn't look so much like the Bengal famine of 1943 was caused by teenagers biting rich people now, does it?
I thought Magic Man said, "Come on, homegirl" instead of "Come on home, girl" until my early 20s.
