    Yeah, doesn’t look like a punch to me either, but just looking up the IG account that’s tagged on here I kinda wouldn’t be surprised if they did post an image of a woman getting punched given all the other right wing stuff there

    Fwiw, I think yoinking a good pun off a bad account on a bad website and posting it to a better website makes the world a better place











  • We had a real chance to start building an economy that works for most people by building on top of the emergency anti-poverty measures COVID forced governments to put in place, but as soon as a Dem moved into the white house again Republicans all suddenly remembered they hate that stuff and Dems figured they’d get applauded for being “responsible” or some bullshit by doing exactly what they wanted (because that worked out so well for us when Obama did austerity, or when Clinton cut welfare, or etc.)



  • Donald Trump inherited an economy from Joe Biden that was perhaps not firing on all cylinders but was in pretty good shape all the same.

    Meanwhile, in reality (arc)

    the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) released its Household Food Security in the United States report, assessing that 13.7 percent of U.S. households were food insecure in 2024, marking the highest prevalence of U.S. food insecurity in nearly a decade.

    Biden’s “perhaps not firing on all cylinders” economy was crap for poor people. “But whatabout the Republicans” will get you 2-4 years in office to leave your constituency twisting in the wind while you tell them things are actually good, and then your campaigns will collapse just like Harris did and Republicans will win by default yet again.

    If you really want to break that cycle, we need better policies and we need to communicate the fact that we understand that Biden’s economy was crap. Arguing with the voters that it was actually pretty good is just a ticket out of office.
