Thanks for the information. BBC works for my point.

I am pro-Palestinian. Pro-Palestinian Democrats haven't done as good a job as pro-Israel Democrats winning fellow Democrats to our side. Because of this & the fact that Harris was objectively better on Gaza than Trump, it was our job to eat it on this issue in '24. End of discussion.

I don't think Harris could have done any better.

I don't think "separating from Biden on Gaza" was possible, at least in a way that alienated fewer voters than it brought in.

Grim wants us to accept Nazi tattoos for the same reason BAFTA didn't bleep the N-word. He wants us to get comfortable with white male supremacism, which he'll deny up until the very moment he achieves his goal of retaking the Democratic Party from those inconvenient POC & misguided feminists.

Excited to be talking with my friend and fierce advocate Lupita Nyong'o about expanding screening, detection, and intervention for people with uterine fibroids.

Tune in tomorrow morning during the 8 AM ET hour on

But after Democratic loss the ceremonies of economic anxiety are observed and the lament of rural abandonment sung, down to this very day.

They want it to be good in the sense that it's 1955 when the only people who mattered were white men and everyone else was either calling them sir and making way on the sidewalk or obediently at home cooking them dinner.

i understand that rural democrats frequently have to run against the party and don’t even begrudge them that, but the idea that rural america gets left out of big, national democratic infrastructure initiatives is just typical rural grievance mongering

Democracy is the rule of the people, not rule of the politicians. Those who voted for Trump, 3rd party, stayed home, *and* who voted for Harris while misrepresenting her positions are the most responsible for Trump's election.
(The next president will be a Dem & Gaza, again, won't be a big issue.)

Chris Murphy went on TV go gush about Platner and brush off his SS tattoo (that he lied about and kept for decades) as a "mistake."

On behalf of my Great Uncle murdered at Auschwitz and the millions of others slaughtered by the SS:

Screw you, Chris.

Sorry, realize I was unclear. In a democracy, people's preferred candidates lose the Democratic primary all the time & they still have to support the winner in the general.

Yes. This is a democracy. Get used to losing.

Give me the confidence of a poster demanding a bunch of other people spend years doing unclear and unspecified work on their behalf just to preclude a possibility.

Leftists when a Black lady says something political at a Black funeral: Tsk, tsk, not the time & place.

When a tragically under-moisturized & bearded white guy has a Totenkopf: What you have to understand about the struggling working class...

All of these racists need to sit with why it's so easy for them to accept cultural norms from from predominately white ethnic groups as "normal" while feeling a keen need to pearl-clutch and finger-wag when they see examples of Black American cultural norms.

It's giving overseer.

He's a flimsy weakling, we can do so much better & if he wins the nomination, he's my guy.

I understand the arguments against Newsom. I don’t think he’s getting the nomination. If he does, it’s still the easiest fucking choice in existence. Announcing that you’re gonna sit it out is insane.

A monochromatic image of Markwayne Mullin with the following overlaid text:

Markwayne Mullin is Unqualified

Trump's pick to lead the Department of Homeland Security is the latest addition to a wildly incompetent cabinet.

No law enforcement experience.
No national security experience.
No emergency response experience.

Due to REPUBLICANS groveling to Trump, the instigator of the insurrection and archenemy of law enforcement.

Forget the bloated euphemisms. Go ahead and say the word. REPUBLICANS. You won't be struck by lightning. In this 250th year of our existence as a nation, be brave.

This enrages me. It’s a lie. Easily disproven. She wanted a ceasefire and two state solution.

If you cared about Gaza as more than a social media trend, you would have stopped Trump.

Trump told you his plans.
You enabled him. You should be proud and happy you got your way.

Gaza thanks you.

White people didn't think enough of the late Rev. Jesse Jackson, Sr. to have him lie in state at the capitol like Billy Graham. They didn't think enough of the late Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr. to air his funeral on national TV.

But they still feel its their duty to police the speeches at his funeral.

Trump is risking American lives with no plan for what comes next in Iran–risking another β€œforever” war where the American people pay the price.

This fact accounts for & illustrates the uselessness of issue polling. Every progressive policy extracts some type of price (if only psychic) & we don't like those.

Women are playing an increasingly important role in construction and infrastructure. I was glad to speak with women leaders in the industry about strengthening the workforce and creating more opportunities in this critical field.

I'm sure Johnson believes in the Rapture. I'm pretty sure he doesn't believe that attacking Iran brings the Rapture. Like Trump, Johnson etc. swing between believing their own BS & using it as a tool to manipulate others, which makes them more dangerous than straight up believers or cynics.
