The DOJ would already have released all the Epstein files if those files proved that Trump is not a pedophile. #ReleaseAllTheEpsteinFilesNow

The "stop caring about a genocide" phrase appears to me to communicate the idea voters at large cared about it to begin with. 75% of America's electorate is white. They never care about genocide. You guys acting like "drawing a line" in an election is effective protest is fucking infuriating.

It also kept the "white" peasantry in check by making them believe that they had more in common with slave owners than the slaves, despite many of them living in poverty. Anyone who accepts "white" as part of their identity is either overtly racist or passively accepts racist ideas.

I should also be clear that "white" is not an ethnicity. It's an identity that was formed to facilitate and justify the hierarchy it was invented for, which was Western European lords at the top and non-European slaves at the absolute bottom.

They also didn't matter. The problem's always going to be white people, especially white men.

Obama's opponents were not popular with conservative white men, and in '08 he offered as many reassurances as he could without explicitly saying, "I am not a threat to white supremacy." The only landscape in which Obama realistically beats Trump is the one from '08. Sorry. Talk to your white people.

I guarantee you that his VP running a near-identical campaign was the only way Biden was going to drop out semi-willingly. Also, identity still mattered most here. A white man would've won. Harris being a black woman was offensive to a huge portion of voters. Because white men are bad.

Washington State Passes ‘Millionaires’ Tax’ It would be the first income tax in Washington, affecting an estimated 20,000 households. Some of the wealthiest are leaving for Florida.

Lawmakers in Washington State have agreed to tax people who earn over $1 million in the state’s first income tax.

$11.3 billion could cover any of the following for a full year:
-1.4 million people on Medicaid
-19 million kids getting free school lunches
-1.4 million people getting affordable housing
-1.1 million hungry seniors fed
-0.8 million children given free child care

Good night, everyone

I’ve seen a lot of people say Bluesky needs more of this culture—fandom and pop culture—and I totally agree. I think there is space for a distinctly Bluesky version of this culture (which will of course be treated like the rest of Bluesky but who cares it would be ours)

There’s definitely fandom community elsewhere around the internet, I just spoke to fans recently for a piece who have gone back to Tumblr and onto Threads and TikTok. But each platform has its own identity, and Twitter’s has not been entirely lost, just corrupted like the rest of the platform into X

And although I openly encourage people to leave X and criticize a lot of people’s reasons for staying, I can also empathize with vulnerable people who are often making a choice to sacrifice something, like an online community or a culture or a connection, or stay and suffer new abuses

This is one of the reasons I would like to see more people leave X. It is genuinely an unsafe environment, particularly for vulnerable minorities and people within stigmatized niches like fandom

Watching fandom communities and women/girls with fandom accounts who have stayed on X has been brutal. Random posts that should have stayed within their communities are algorithmically blasted to alt-right adjacent edgelords being radicalized by Elon Musk to descend on and mock and terrorize

I’m at $140 and have $610 left! I need to turn my water back on and prevent my electric from getting shut off tomorrow. Any help is appreciated!

Please help Juniper keep her water and gas on.

You're targeting the wrong people with this criticism. It's white men and will always be white men until we start weakening white supremacy's grip on our culture(s). Playing the blame game with each other is a waste of time.

As leftists, we can invent an electorate that's more sympathetic to our beliefs, or we can acknowledge the white supremacist elephant in the room and strategize around it, or at least stop dog whistling and gaslighting our peers.

You're mostly correct, but my point was about Biden '20 voters that didn't vote for either candidate in '24. To be frank, there's an argument to be made that Harris was part of why all these white dudes decided to vote who generally don't. White supremacist patriarchy is still the dominant view.

Thank you so much! ❤️

"Ugh! He keeps appealing our decision to murder him! What a pest!"

Marshall: "He could have been executed a long time ago, but like many death-row inmates, he chose to drag out his case through endless frivolous appeals.”

"How dare you appeal your death sentence" is certainly a position one can take.

Let me stand on some business real quick:

FUCK Steve Marshall.

This is not a passionate defense of anyone's rhetoric, to be clear. I think the main problem I have with your point is that you're putting too much importance on political arguments on social media. Most white Americans avoid talking openly about politics altogether.

I don't remember any of this happening except when the white people in question did or said something overtly bigoted. I really don't see what liberalism has to do with any of this and I'm pretty skeptical of social media's influence here outside of reinforcing preexisting beliefs.
