Thread on why civics in school is necessary. When I was in high school, I took a civics class. The first day they had us say whether we were Republican or democrat. My parents (at the time) were Republican so I assumed I was too. Then, our teacher gave us a series of prompts (1)

Holy shit, this “American girl” ad from The Seneca Project is amazing!!! Hard to see the letters I’m typing through the tears streaming down my face though.

This is how dictators destroy free nations. They threaten those who speak against them with death. We cannot entrust our country and our freedom to a petty, vindictive, cruel, unstable man who wants to be a tyrant. #Womenwillnotbesilenced #VoteKamala

Ah #DaylightSavingTime ending, where most of my clocks will adjust themselves and I commit to doing the mental adjustment for the only two that don't because I can't be bothered to reset them again in 5 months. (Plus looking at them fuels my rage over how we're still doing this.)

We really should not be expected to work this week… I feel pandemic levels of fatigue, anxiety and stress. #WokeAF

Very nervous to see what comes out of #Election2024 tomorrow. I have to believe that human decency and belief in democracy will win out, but the GOP has never been more corrupt and willing to cheat. I hope we close out tomorrow discovering we had nothing to worry about. 🇺🇸🌊

I don't care if it ends up being Red Mirage, there's still too much fucking red on this map considering what a threat to democracy Tr*mp has vowed to be. It's disappointing to see it's still this close. Too Americans hate everything America is supposed to stand for, it seems.

Can someone explain how someone who lost the popular vote twice, and spent the last 4 years attacking minorities, women, blacks, hispanics, latinos, LGBTQ+ etc, suddenly wins the popular vote?

People who voted for Donald Trump did it primarily for reasons they felt were beneficial to themselves. People who voted for Kamala voted for reasons that may never impact them personally, but would impact the people around them.

I'm devastated by these election results. I really thought in my heart that Americans would choose democracy instead of facism. To all those who didn't vote for Kamala: You deserve every hardship you're about to face. May it hurt when the leopards start eating your faces.

The thing about leopards is eventually they will eat you too. Your favorite local restaurant closing because the nice family who owns it getting deported. You thought they were some of the “good ones.” The price of produce skyrocketing even before the camps are built as

I'm convinced that the best litmus test you can give someone regarding politics is asking them their opinion on John Oliver. He's one of the few people on this planet where I wholeheartedly believe that if you actively hate him for his politics you're not to be taken seriously.

Interesting timing, isn’t it? Musk’s “Department of Government Efficiency” rolls out a plan, and suddenly NASA’s future is on the chopping block—right as SpaceX stands to gain. This isn’t about efficiency; it’s about funneling public resources into private pockets.

You wanna hear a little story of how it all began? Once upon a time, there was a man named Ronald Reagan. He was known as the "Great Communicator" because he was good at spinning words. He was a failing actor who decided to run for president. His campaign slogan in 1980 was

Sam Stein Funny how so many folks who weren't there for the Democrats in November now expect them to be the saviors of democracy

To all those saying "shouldn't we root out government inefficiency? What's wrong with DOGE?" a quick background on Constitutional law and why the WAY it is being violated exposes the true motives of the criminals:

14. Because if this President can unilaterally ignore the 14th Amendment then a future President can ignore the 2nd. If this one can block Congressionally-directed funding for EVs then another can ignore Congressional mandates not to spend taxpayer dollars on abortion.

Who was this reporter? I’d like to buy them a drink. 🥃
