At least OJ can rest peacefully now that his ex wife’s and her friend’s killer is now dead.

FOUL!!! Y'all ever notice how #Democrats and their mouthpieces on stations like #MSNBC only try to drag out progressives when it suits their needs? otherwise they're talking shit saying, "those progressives -- they're too noisy, they're too loud, your ideas don't work "...and yet here you are; trying to get our support.

Use your own dried out milk-toast people "to excite" the base and lemme know how that works out for you.

Crazy to say crusty ass JOE BIDEN is the most progressive president we’ve ever had. I’ll take it

It was a really, really good political news day today in the US (4/4/23)

For anyone who hasn't heard, not only did Trump get arrested, but also:

-We found out that the legal case against him in this prosecution (stormy daniels hush money case) is SIGNIFICANTLY stronger than people had speculated. Like, wow do they have receipts.

-In fact, the evidence was so entirely there that the new question on prime time news (well, at least on msnbc lol) is "Hey, why didn't the federal courts prosecute him for this already???)

-Trump FAILED UTTERLY in his attempts to rally mass protests and demands for "death and destruction" if he was arrested. There was no violence at the arrest at all, and as for Trump supporters? They failed to show up in any kind of numbers--reportedly only about a hundred people were protesting the arrest

-We (aka Judge Janet Protasiewicz) WON what is widely considered to be the most consequential election of 2023, a Wisconsin state supreme court election that handed control of the state supreme court to the left

-Because of that election win, it is now extremely likely that abortion will be legal in Wisconsin, and that Wisconsin won't be able to throw out electors in the 2024 presidential election

-ALSO bc of this, Wisconsin, the most gerrymandered state in the country, will probably get nonpartisan, accurate maps, which COULD FLIP THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES in 2024

-In Chicago, Brandon Johnson, union organizer and former teacher, won the election for mayor, in a decisive win progressives, esp for meaningful criminal justice reform and investment in mental health (whereas the other guy was campaigning on hiring hundreds of new cops and being super tough on crime)

Democrats as a party are never ever going to recover from this.

#itd be one thing if biden was actually your only option but MOST PEOPLE not voting for biden have stated explicitly they're voting 3rd party #which makes 3rd parties an actual viable option this year and people who have been claiming to be liberal or progressive just...dont care??? #to consider that they should NOT vote for someone comitting genocide if they dont have to????? like??? #we see this is a PREFERENCE for you now and theres no backtracking that #Democrats #2024 elections #joe biden #jasmine sherman #usa politics

it is. so weird to me that I'm having to say this again after a real-life cartoon supervillian already once ran for president on a platform of hatred & fascism and won, but.

it's November, please fucking vote

#not a shitpost #serious post #this election cycle will DETERMINE what legislation gets passed #it will DETERMINE THE FUTURE OF ABORTION RIGHTS AND GAY MARRIAGE AND OTHER LGBTQ+ PROTECTIONS #the supreme court plans to destroy as much progress as possible and that means we have to rely on congress to protect those rights #which they can only do if the Dems control the senate and the house #we are in FULL BLOWN DAMAGE CONTROL MODE here #especially because it is still somehow perfectly possible and actually probable #that the festering pile of garbage in human form who recently tried to overthrow the government will end up back on the ballot in 2024 #we still haven't recovered from 4 years of trump and if we don't show up at the polls it is perfectly possible we will get another 4 years #vote this november to protect basic human rights #and vote in november 2024 so we don't have to survive another 4 years under trump #because many of us--the most vulnerable of us--won't survive. and many many more will suffer #vote to protect yourself and your neighbors. vote to protect those who most need protection. #vote because it is the right thing to do #vote out of kindness #and vote out of spite--because billionaires are spending insane amounts of money to prevent you from voting #so tell them to get fucked and vote anyway #do it out of spite and do it out of heart and do it out of rage and do it out of love #show up #us politics

bombing a hospital and defending it with 'but we warned them ahead of time uwu' is just above and beyond evil I feel so sick we're funding and justifying this

I haven't felt this powerless since 2020 man like how do you negotiate with a world power thats both completely unaccountable and utterly unstoppable

#I will always support the gesture of voting but at this point in the game it feels like an empty concession ykwim #in the same way getting juneteenth recognized was a concession to stop mfs from calling to defund the police #im tired of concessions I want to see actual progress in my lifetime or else I will explode #its still the same force behind the MOVE bombings behind the Trail of Tears like it feels like nothing has materially changed

Genuinely scared about midterms. If the republicans take control we’re fucked. People of color, LGBTQ, Muslims, Jews, and anyone else who’s not a right wing fascist, be careful. Take care of yourselves.

idk how much stock i put into those "gen z is more conservative than past generations" think-pieces from a few years back. but it's very possible for a person: to believe that climate change is a problem, to support (or be part of) the LGBT community, to believe in universal healthcare and social services, to support religious tolerance, to fight for expanded housing and labor rights, etc etc etc, and still, like, unabashedly hate women on a level you wouldn't believe existed

#like you really can't underestimate how far someone's hate can go for a specific group of people #while also believing in otherwise 'progressive' values idk #maybe i'm being a pessimist about these things #this is related to the last post i reblogged but now it's just on my mind #i understand that polls show (at least in the us) that gen z votes more blue than past generations and that's commendable #but you can walk and chew gum yknow. you can believe in progressive stuff while also being a massive sexist #and idk if these 'woowoo ~~trendy~~ sexism stereotypes but 'alternative and rebellious' bc i'm owning it' shit is uh. helping. #especially when you're too young to discern what is and is not 'ironic' or a 'joke' and you take it at face value #certain stuff is formative bc you're exposed to it young. and then BAM. it shapes how you see the world for a Very long time #sexism #rambles

want some positive world news? yesterday, in a truly historic moment, Colombia elected its first left-wing president. after 20 years of far-right rule, the traditionally conservative country has elected the remarkably progressive candidate Gustavo Petro (and his running mate Francia Márquez, who will be the first black woman to serve as the country's Vice President!)

for context, imagine if the U.S. had successfully elected Bernie Sanders (after 20 years of republican presidents). that's how big a deal this is. amidst a dangerous global rise in conservatism, this is an enormous win and a cause for hope.

#not a shitpost #also I love that Francia Marquez got elected on Juneteenth #THAT is how you celebrate Juneteenth #i've been watching this election closely and i almost cried when the results came in #and to my american followers: VOTE IN THE FUCKING MIDTERMS #hurry up and sign up to vote by mail i am glaring at you #the last fucking thing we need is republicans gaining seats #that will directly affect what legislation does and does not make it through #it's already difficult enough to pass anything borderline progressive in this hellforsaken country let's not make it WORSE ok #repeat after me: voting is damage control #it does not erase the extreme need for radical and systemic change but it is damage. control. #it is the FIRST STEP not the last
