Patriotism towards the...United States of America? Jesus Christ, that should still feel wrong and embarrassing. Also lol @ people referencing Langston fucking Hughes as somehow supportive of this state when his idea of patriotism in this country was, and I quote, “Put one more s in the U.S.A./To make it Soviet.”

Whoo boy I lost it at that “one misstep” line. Albright was a truly intelligent, skilled, capable woman, and she eagerly used those talents in service of some of the worst aims of US imperialism. It’s a shame that nothing bad ever happens to these people while they’re still alive, but hey she’s dead now so at least…

Defense spending is the only issue that Democrats and libertarians can unite on

This is so fucking sick and sad and enraging and heartbreaking. Love and solidarity with trans Texans specifically and trans people all over the country feeling threatened; this shit has to be resisted by people of good conscience by any and all means necessary.

Pigs are pigs regardless of how “liberal” their surroundings (and it’s not like SF isn’t perfectly right-wing on its own in many many ways)

To be fair, it’s also the fault of liberal margin-tinkerers for trying to “explain” and sand away what very clear demands (“defund the police” literally means take away their money, “disarm the police” means take away their guns, and both are essential steps towards abolition) really mean — because they do not…

I mean yeah this isn’t exactly news, Democrats (just like Republicans) love to shovel money into the pigs’ troughs and always have?

Respectfully, we don’t “come back,” because this is a system working exactly as intended — it’s just that the intention is (and always has been) to safeguard the rights and privileges of white supremacist property owners, only allowing whatever temporary changes necessary to ensure the long-term viability of those…

Well that and a bunch of his actual decisions

Still a dumbass but less so than Ginsburg, so congrats on that I guess.

I’ll never understand the logic behind blaming voters here rather than the party which, even when it’s had overwhelming legislative power, has steadfastly refused to enshrine reproductive rights in law, has repeatedly made it clear they see such rights as negotiable, and consistently welcomed anti-choice elements into…

Seems like “more vaccination” would be preferable to “more testing”, no?

Get the Army Corps employees to start manufacturing tests in-house?

And they only “celebrate” MLK because they’ve successfully stripped all elements of radicalism from his message (keeping only a neutered “be nice to everyone” faux-colorblindness) so that it’s palatable for popular consumption. They turned him into a cartoon teddy bear whose life and death absolved the US of one of…

Nope. Next question.

Lol not like this stupid country was founded on violent revolution or anything

Several studies have found at least 40% of police officers are domestic abusers, themselves.

Do you understand how the filibuster currently operates in the Senate? The mere threat of a filibuster is tantamount to the act — you don’t actually need to stand up and give 24-hour+ speeches anymore. All you’ve gotta do now is announce your intent to filibuster and the bill is capital-D Dead without 60 senators to…

Even if this were an actual priority for them (it’s not) they’d have to nuke the filibuster in order to make it happen, which they won’t, so...again, zero chance. 

Lol they are not passing DC statehood. Literally zero chance. Not doing PR either (which, considering PR should be granted independence and given reparations rather than brought further into the empire, is fine).
