It’s weird her district doesn’t cover Broadway, because this is ridiculously theatrical.

Because they spend most, if not all, of it back here. It’s entirely self-serving. 

Damn that sure was a cool dress the other day though right ✨

Haiti will forever pay the price for being the first free Black republic in the new world. The Haitian people, in a true, proletariat revolution (not a bourgeois revolution like the U.S), overthrew the forces of one of the most powerful empires of the time. White Western imperialist nations have never forgotten that.…

We’ve caused the deaths of 2.8 million human beings in that country since 2001. You sure the progressive values of their leadership are what we should be focusing on?

Wait, so a woman who was naked in a place where women are explicitly allowed to be naked is a sexual predator because she was naked in a place where women are allowed to be naked?  Just as before, I’m having a little trouble following your logic.  

I’m missing the point of a sex ed teacher using “peg the patriarchy” as a sex positive phrase. I read her explanation, I still don’t get it. The juxtaposition doesn’t make sense to me.

JFC: “The medium is the message,” ... The message, written in bold red script across AOC’s white mermaid-esque dress, was “tax the rich.”

Cool, it’s also a big rich people circle jerk, so ya know

Everything you hear about Che is a fucking lie (i.e. that he was a bigot, a murderer etc. He really was a revolutionary).

It was wild being in college then and hearing people say that Iraq did 9/11. I wasn’t even at a conservative school, just a public university in a large-ish Midwestern city. But come late 2002, almost nobody was even talking about Afghanistan, it was all ramping up for Iraq. Outside of Pat Tillman being killed,…

This isn’t that surprising. Capitalism usually finds a way to adapt and profit from it’s detractors.

American jingoism is a long tradition that predates the boogeymen we pretend we’re different from.

So your problem with me saying if Democrats wanted to, they could address this problem, was that I didn’t adequately point out that there are Democrats who don’t want to address this problem? That’s literally what I was saying. Like:

Lol, what? Maybe you should learn to read, instead of having your first instinct being to defend some of the most powerful people in the world from criticism. After all, your response to me pointing out that Democrats could address this crisis if they wanted to was to....point out that actually the problem is that…

Because there aren’t 50 of them in the Senate who want that. Thought we’d covered that math sufficiently.

Democrats have enough votes to get rid of the filibuster and codify Roe. They have enough votes to expand the Supreme Court. Maybe before focusing our blame on people who, individually, could not have actually changed the outcome of either one of those elections (although I agree it was stupid, frustrating, and…

Manchin and Sinema are Democrats.

So they’re not going to abolish the filibuster and they’re not going to pack the Supreme Court with justices who actually give a fuck about people.

I’d like to also take a moment to ask people to have a spine when it comes to their support of abortion and its necessary legality. I’m so tired of hearing half hearted, damn near apologetic “defenses” of abortion from libs. ALL pregnant people deserve the right to seek an abortion - not just rape victims or the woman…
