so we're going to illegal war with Venezuela just bc America is an occupying power hungry for more Brown bodies to genocide and land to steal.

people. the mask is off. this is america. you are america. reject it.

Reminder that if anyone is setting you up online to do some crime, THAT PERSON IS A COP.

ALWAYS.

WITHOUT FAIL.

One of the darkest aspects of this is that the Editorial Board can be presumed to understand its audience. The level of manufactured ignorance it takes for a non-predator to respond positively to these ideas is breathtaking.

I am so excited for this campaign!

Want to Know How Democrats Should Handle Trans Rights? Ask Zohran Mamdani The 33-year-old socialist just crushed Andrew Cuomo by doing what many national Democrats won't: having convictions.

*dusts this piece off* www.readtpa.com/p/want-to-kn...

Mamdani going so hard for trans right and winning is some juicy proof that every dem that abandoned us didn’t do it for politically advantageous reasons. They did it because they’re transphobes and they will lose for it

Now do Gavin Newsom

57% of all ad spending by Republicans in the Virginia governors race was on anti trans ads. Just an incredibly mismanaged campaign. Anti-trans politics are a losing issue.

but i thought the only way to win elections was to say trans people deserved to die???? how did this happen??
