Black woman who votes. I work to keep my cats in the lifestyle to which they have become accustomed.

California AG. U.S. Senator. VPOTUS. There wouldn’t be a *more* qualified POTUS in my lifetime.

The problem would not be jettisoning an UNqualified candidate selected, because of “optics.” The problem would be jettisoning an EMINENTLY qualified candidate, because of misogynoir on the left.

People on the left love to assume the Black woman is there to pander.

Good news, Harris wasn’t picked because of “optics” - anymore than any politician selected for VPOTUS in the history of joint tickets has been.

if harris was chosen because of optics, consider the optics of passing over the first black female vice president as the heir apparent. and optics aside, it’s simply fucked up. you don’t have to be a harris fan to see that.

We haven't learned to stop posting Yashar? Lmao. Also interesting: He linked to a WaPo story and Lieu flatly denied it. The WaPo story says Lieu asked him to step aside. The @washingtonpost.com is straight up printing lies. You should be proud, you dogshit rag.

Свобода і демократія — це постійна праця. Ця правда є очевидною в одних громадах, і карколомним відкриттям в інших. Парадокс.

This was always true. This has always been true for every marginalized community in every single only these “advanced democracies.” Welcome to the world your privilege has shielded you from. This is life outside the cave.

The I-can’t-believe-it-would-happen-here stuff truly stresses me out. Not trying to be mean. I find it authentically frightening, because it tells me that there is very little real solidarity.

Can we at least do what Threads has done?

Indiana has a mechanism that basically doesn’t allow turning down aid like this so that’s the only reason Indiana isn’t included.

The opting out is especially wild Like, Republican governors are being actively presented with money to feed kids and affirmatively saying 'I would like children to starve actually' (Also, if I'm a Dem campaigner, I'm making some ads and placing some op eds about this immediately)

How do we adjust to a world where major democracies have long-term viable fascist parties? It feels like we'll just be having existential election after existential election, and we have to win every time whereas they only have to win once.

When I was a kid some yutes parked a bigasss motorcycle behind him at a market and refused to move it one was like "you move it old man hahaha" and I will never forget his face when the old man just picked up that bike and threw it into the street, that expression is imprinted in my mind for life

about once a week, i have to explain to someone on the phone that the police have no obligation to do anything for you and, even if their refusal literally leads to your murder, the courts have been clear that there's no case to pursue

I’m just trying to figure out if y’all think the 90% of Black women who vote for Democrats do so because we’re stupid, or because we’re part of the “liberal elite”?

They’ve done the same with Medicaid expansion, available under the ACA. (As red states have turned purple, you begin to see some shifts) www.kff.org/affordable-c...

It's radical, but it's not new. This has been the conservative MO for a long time. They used to really like pork, like Ted Stevens' bridge to nowhere, but they were violently opposed to the New Deal, etc. And their voters eat it up because it's "us against them" and punishment politics.

Because, nothing augurs electoral success for Dems like a white liberal man from Minnesota on the ticket. Great track record.
