@DrSmitty94 Pretty sure it was his own former chief of staff that called him a fascist. Also why is it that Democrats have to defend themselves for everything that every random person says on social media, while Republicans hand-wave away everything outrageous that their own candidate says?

"They're eating the cats, they're eating the dogs" proved a more effective message than "Let me help you buy your first house."

@DrSmitty94 Sorry, what position does she have in the Biden administration or on the Harris campaign?

[Benjamin L. Carp 🎏 @bencarp]

@DrSmitty94 I certainly don't disagree that the foundations and former GOP administration officials who wrote and spearheaded Project 2025 are grifters, but they're the president-elect's grifters. I guarantee it'll be worse than Pelosi's investments

I followed the internet's instructions and went outside but it was too crowded with people staring forlornly into the middle distance

@DrSmitty94 "more united" has no virtue if it's under an autocrat. Affordable, I'll take that bet. Healthier is not going to come down to RFK as DHHS Sec, but I'll take that bet too. Less corrupt I can't take with a straight face. But read Project 2025 if you want to see what the plan is!

@DrSmitty94 I'm sure the new admin will be an improvement: eliminating social security, capping healthcare, driving millions to homelessness, spiking prices through tariffs, letting monopolies run wild, degrading food & environmental safety, & leaving our kids a carbon-choked hellscape

@DrSmitty94 Let's say I agree with you that Harris could have offered more economically to prospective voters--but I still don't think that would have earned her your vote! Anyway the billionaires will be happy now.

After walking out of the @CUNY Trustees meeting, we have joined a crowd of HUNDREDS of PSC members, students, and community allies outside of John Jay, calling together for a CONTRACT NOW!

I took Twitter off my phone today, something I'd been telling myself I'd do for months. We'll see if it sticks. We'll see if I jump entirely.

Don't mind me, I'm just trying to explain to my California Dodger fan second cousins not just about the connection between Grimace and the Mets but also Grimace's relatively recent emergence as a gay icon #LGM
