This is an act of war on the American people. This regime must be put down at all costs.

Excluding ferry boats, commercial planes are the safest mode of transportation. By a lot. If Boeings are “death traps,” then cars are nuclear bombs lol

In 2021, the US Senate voted to raise the minimum wage (which sits at $7.25/hr), and 8 Democrats joined with all Republicans to vote against the measure. It failed. I will never forget the image of former Dem Krysten Sinema doing a literal curtsey as should voted no.

Now, far-right MAGA playboy Josh Hawley wants to raise the minimum wage—and not just raise it but more than double it. I hope Democrats realize that, unless they do something drastically differently very quickly, they will lose every forthcoming election. Handedly. MAGA is now promoting a PROGRESSIVE talking point. (And if I was a MAGA strategist, I’d be recommending Republicans keep doing this kind of stuff, which only divides the Left and makes them unwinnable. Credit where credit is due, it’s a great strategy.)

Like, do Dems realize how fucked they are? In the public’s eye, they are now to the RIGHT of Josh motherfucking Hawley on minimum wage. Democrats chose this path while trump was on the rise, and now they’re permanently fucked. They should have stuck with a progressive platform that focused on the people. Instead, they moved right, kept moving right, and Josh MOTHERFUCKNG Hawley has given a legitimate reason to progressives to vote with MAGA.

So, to Josh Hawley, I say, good for you! Winner winner chicken dinner! To the Dems who had their chance and squandered it, I say, was it worth it?

It’s a shame NPR decided to sanewash trump and continuously mischaracterize the evil, immoral, illegal shit he does. I know I’m one of many who cancelled their memberships. Had NPR not bent, I’d be doubling down my monthly contributions. But they made their choices and now have to live with the consequences.

Idk… I didn’t think it was staged either, but this ‘apology’ has me second guessing

FUCKING WHAT?!?!?! GAVIN NEWSOM?!?! The asshole who JUST went on a far right podcaster to shit on trans people? You think he’s INVIGORATING THE PROGRESSIVE LEFT?!?!?! HAVE. YOU. LOST. YOUR. FUCKING. MIND?!?! I work in the Government, I’ve worked for a democratic senator and a democratic congresswoman—and Gavin has me contemplating leaving the democratic party if he becomes the nominee. I don’t know WHAT world yalls are living in, but it’s not the real world. Say WHATEVER you want about Gavin, you can say he’s the best guy to meet the moment now, whatever. But don’t you DARE claim that that neoliberal, far right pandering HACK is going to “reinvigorate the progressive left” like HOLY SHIT you ruined my morning with this dumbassery 🤣

Disagree—people are looking to throw knives at Nintendo. Microsoft and Sony are just as evil while more expensive, yet nobody’s saying boo to them! There’s a bias against Nintendo, showing up in ways like this, and it’s fucking annoying.
