What? No it wasn't. A bunch of people warned about exactly this, before it happened, and then AS IT WAS HAPPENING. People just… kept pretending that the dude who conned them hadn't conned them and was, in fact, a super genius, instead of taking the fucking L and holding him anything like accountable

I love it. As someone else suggested, maybe a slight crop of the top so you're more centered/focused.

If your area got a new Labour MP then it is your duty to email them and say that you are happy the Tories are out but that transphobia should have no place in the party. Make Starmer gently walk back his support for Rowling's position!

It's time to revisit the idea of expanding the Supreme Court, which means it's time to dismiss the misunderstandings about FDR's "Court-packing controversy."

we live in an era where 2 generations grew up with equal rights & the ability to communicate instantly with each other in a medium that primarily consists of only them but we are ruled by older people outside that shared medium who fondly remember when women weren’t allowed to open bank accounts

The only way the GOP can pass their wretched ideas is to cheat - be it gerrymandering, making voting more difficult, or just flat out ignoring their constituents' wishes and signing their garbage into law anyway.

As democracy teeters, a reminder: Jonathan Mitchell, who represented Trump at SCOTUS in the 14th Amendment case, is trying to end the ACA’s preventative care coverage requirements in a case that is aimed at opposition to PrEP coverage, which prevents HIV transmission.

With the far right losing in the UK and France, and impeachment articles against Supreme Court justices, I'm feeling hopeful. The threat's still there, but maybe, just maybe, there are more good people than bad. And those good people are just quieter.

I really cannot overstate how much it would be fucking amazeballs for the US to be fighting about positive visions for the future and on policy, and how much it fucking sucks that this year is our third cycle in a row where instead we're running a national referendum titled "sooooooo fascism?"
