Lmao Republicans absolutely did not stand behind Obama. They blocked everything he tried to do, refused to confirm his SCOTUS pick, hurled racist slurs at him and called Michelle a man who faked her pregnancies
For those who don’t know, the New York Times tech guild who code all the games (Wordle, Connections, etc) are on strike! They were kind enough to build a website with strike editions of the games and some info on the strike itself! https://t.co/IkbVmbDQxs
Going from “Kamala is an evil pandering democrat and that’s why she lost the campaign” to “Gavin Newsome is evil and we need him in 2028” is why black women will continue to look at you racist mfs sideways. You expect unattainable perfection from us and hold white men to a lower standard
WW still do NOT GET IT! You’re still trying to “not all” & “not me” this demand for INDIVIDUALISM is part of W supremacy every other group gets treated like a collective except yall even when you need to be which is what’s happening right now. It’s uncomfortable to hear because
In 5 years the discourse will be "the reason why so many young men are nazis is because we disallowed teenage boys from harassing their female classmates with deepfake pornography"
We must not delude ourselves in this moment. Multiracial democracy in the United States is less than 60 years old. It has always been contested, often violently so. It has always been fragile. Since this nation's inception large swaths of white Americans -- including white women -- have claimed a belief in democracy while actually enforcing a white ethnocracy. In the face of shifting demographics where white Americans will lose their numeric majority, we see a growing embrace of autocracy to keep the "legitimate" rulers of this country in power. History teaches us that we are in a perilous moment.
I want people to remember that this is what they did with abortion - they claimed we needed a 'big tent' and to not be 'radical' on the issue.
Many Dems were willing to throw women's rights under the bus and that's what we're seeing here with trans people

I have always known that I’m seen as “too woke” simply as existing as a Black woman and that’s what this analysis shows. She was literally saying she’d appoint republicans but SOMETHING ABOUT HER makes pundits think she was too progressive.
Just going to throw it out there that Tony Evers continues to be one of the most popular politicians in Wisconsin while also taking a firm stand on not bullying children
Sherrod Brown was an old school labor rights Democrat and he lost decisively to a car dealership owner who had to settle several wage theft lawsuits before running for office. This election was not about working class discontent.
I’m begging yall to fund local repro orgs instead. I understand the fear that a lot of folks must be feeling but we’ve got to slow down and think. This level of individualism is why we’re in the mess we’re in. It’s time to build community care networks.
It's struck a nerve because it's incredibly shitty. AOC was a phenomenal team player all through the cycle and anyone who's launching attacks on her right now is just trying to settle their own personal scores.
These are all rape threats and there’s a gazillion of them on here too… I wonder if repeatedly rewarding a proud rapist and putting him in charge of all our lives has anything to do with this!
