Democrat, friend, never miss voter.

Change is possible. Vote blue. Climate change is real. Both sides are not the same.

Tip of the day:

Activism should be outcome oriented. What do you want done? And what is the best way to make that happen? Those are the questions you need to answer.

For example: Carbon sequestration is economically and sustainability out there.

Unfortunately, it requires doing things beyond lobbying to have things be done.

For another example on immigration: this is a long struggle, and there are many ways to support immigrants beyond what's happening right now in the streets. You can volunteer with pro-immigrant organizations, offer direct aid, or even pursue a career in immigration law. Channel this energy into something that makes meaningful change. But to do that, you have to stay safe and keep other people safe, and ultimately vote in people who will make good and fair immigration policy.

Just the way it is.

I was largely off social media and almost entirely separated from the news cycle while being on vacation for the last week and a half, and I have to say, diving back in feels like smelling really strong moonshine after a night of heavy drinking that gave you the worst hangover of your life.

I will definitely be spending far less time at it, and none at all arguing with any random purity testing knob/denier of reality who’s either a tool for propaganda or unknowingly picked it up.

Don’t shoot or commit acts of violence against people in the street or in their homes over political issues and don’t make excuses for people who do.

Democrats are being targeted for assassination while nationwide protests are going on against Trump's creeping authoritarianism simultaneous to a North Korean-style military parade he demanded being held, oh, and Israel and Iran are in a full blown shooting war but hey, Biden wore orthopedic shoes and didn’t have enough press conferences for Chris Cillizza so…

Write one statement a white man disagrees with and suddenly you’re “emotional” when you said nothing of the sort.

Male privilege is the worst @DrSprockets

Do better.

2025 and still people don’t know this. Unreal.

@DrSprockets I said nothing emotional or angry. Seriously get yourself together. White mansplaining fool.

Jen in VA boosted:

White male privilege and power knows no bounds. They’re always the most aggrieved, always the center, constantly centering themselves and amplifying themselves. They’re addicted to the attention and power and their performative BS is always on full display.

Black civil rights movements were led by brilliant people who knew how to use the media to influence public opinion and get the country on their side (the right side).

Prior to any action, leaders spent months in church basements and other meeting spots training each other on how to resist police provocation and always respond with non-violence and to have a specific goal for every action.

Posting and reposting provocation on the internet isn’t doing something and it’s actively hurting.

I am sorry but if you think David Hogg has appeal to average voting men you maybe the dumbest person on earth.

Not one working class dude sees Hogg and goes “this party is for me.”

Wrong energy and good riddance.

Jen in VA boosted:

Just a reminder that we’re here because W folks decided they’d rather burn it all down than share. On the right and left.

They were given a choice between “keep the strongest multicultural democracy in the world and make it stronger being led by a BW” or “let this corrupt felon burn it all down in the name of white nationalism” and look what you all did.

Now you want to protest for us. LOL.

I saw a post really full of misinformation about this issue go by me today.

Paper ballots are something we already do.

I wish people on the left side of things were overall smarter and weren’t spreading misinformation spawned by conspiracy theories same as MAGA likes to put out.

Trump wants to ‘go back to paper ballots.’ That’s already the norm for voting. - Votebeat

I am very disillusioned with anyone who tried to push Biden out, too.

Voters chose him in a primary. It was cowardly for people to jump on him. Elite white people were all over it.

But I would caution people on going Independent. In many places you can’t vote in a primary and if you’re not her, your voice can be erased.

They're just going to go ahead and pull abortion pills off the market, effectively creating a nationwide ban.

Thanks, non-Kamala voters. Non-Hillary voters- you, too.
