@georgetakei

I cannot understand why people in the USA don't finally dare to put up more of a fight against this "President." And I also don't understand what difference it is supposed to make whether a child is "American" or not—being separated from one's parents is being separated from one's parents, regardless of what citizenship is involved!
And why do you allow 10 billion dollars to be paid out to this asshole's family, along with a 1.8 billion dollar fund for

From over here, it looks as though you are all just standing by and letting this "ruling elite" do whatever they please.

WHY?

@LevZadov You're sadly right, cannot have too high hopes.

Hope is not a plan. We need a backup plan. We need to formulate two, three, many backup plans. Fortunately for us today, anarchists came up with the best backup plan ever, over a century ago: #GeneralStrike

Let's not forget the 77M Americans 𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙨𝙚 this!
Another 89M couldn't even be bothered to vote - many claimed "both parties are the same"

Let us never forget that we are in this fascist hellscape bc our fellow Americans chose it

Absolutely! Which is why no matter what Mamdani does, I will never ever forget that he platformed the uncommitted movement. He fixed a bunch of potholes after discouraging people from voting against a right wing fascist Nazi dictator, color me unimpressed!

@HakeemG @georgetakei

is this supposed to be Hakeem Jeffries? 😅

i sincerely believe that anyone who claims to #Resist & be #AntiFascist but didn't vote for Kamala Harris should acknowledge that mistake & the harm it caused. & that includes Mamdani if he didn't

but i trust Mamdani to fight fascist Repugs over Jeffries any day. i trust Jeffries to vote in favor of the biggest donor w/ the deepest pockets.

(one of the 1st "memes" i made when i joined social media after the election)

@WorldTravelerAll7 @georgetakei

I can't take anyone who criticizes Jeffries seriously anymore. For two years I listened to the leftists yapping about how they would primary him. Then when it came time to step up, nothing.

In fact Mamdani, AOC, and the DSA refused to support the one guy who wanted to challenge him.

Show threadWorldTravelerAll7May 21

@HakeemG @georgetakei

yeah, what magic does Jeffries have going on? i never heard a real reason why both AOC & Mamdani reversed their stance on him

Indivisible said they were going to primary anyone supporting Schumer as Dem leader

i just want fighters. but even my Sen Kelly, who i knocked for keeps crossing & voting w/ Repugs. like for an election denying judge🤬

but if the "leftists" don't get their candidate, i expect every anti-fascist to vote for whatever D gets the nomination
