If full time Walmart employees need government assistance programs to afford food and pay their rent, is it not Walmart who is leaning on government assistance?

  • I think there's some confusion between cause and effect going on in this chain.

  • A senior HHS official said on Thursday that the WHO "strayed from its core mission and has acted contrary to the U.S. interests in protecting the U.S. public on multiple occasions."

    The U.S. has interests in protecting the U.S. public? News to me, citation needed.

  • I certainly can when my criticism isn't that they're not passing shit they don't have the numbers for, but rather that they don't stand for anything that isn't already in the public mandate. Idk how many times it needs to be mentioned, apparently more times than I have patience for.

  • Schumer did not in fact endorse Mamdani and just so we're clear, "a bit late" to you means the day before voting started. I'm glad you've clarified that that was the type of thing you're talking about, where you're objectively wrong on one and incredibly minimizing on the second. No wonder you like these empty suits.

  • Brother, I literally said there have been progressive executive orders and progressive agency moves in the second sentence and virtually all this is executive shit. The only thing I see from congress is the respect for marriage act, which was put in place as a wall to prevent backflow of civil rights that the Supreme court granted in Obergefell v Hodges. You may as well give credit to Neil Gorsuch in your effort to thank Democrats in Congress for writing the opinion that gave them the courage to act on something they should have done during the Clinton era.

  • Rhetoric is almost as important as policy. If you see your leaders back down, your only option is to be mad at them and assert your right to what they capitulated on, or tell yourself that you don't really need it after all. An actual leader doesn't stop fighting because they lose or don't have the votes, they fight for the public mandate that will make up this difference in power and it becomes a larger fight. This is what Mamdani did instead of capitulating to the party that told him to stand down. The democratic leaders should be more like him, and less like whatever the fuck they're trying to be right now.

    If you can excuse schumer and jeffries not endorsing Mamdani that's certainly a stance you can make, but having such low standards as to openly support them can't be good for your psyche. I'd rather vote for them and outwardly hate them, because being able to do math and tell a fascist from a neoliberal isn't the same as an endorsement, which you seem confused about.

  • The last legislation I can remember is the pro act, which failed. There have been progressive executive orders, progressive agency moves in the executive, progressive judges appointed, but all of this was destroyed by sleeper agent dinos. I'm also not remotely naive enough to believe that Manchin, Sinema, and Fetterman are the only ones. Legacy fossils like Dick Durbin was literally the leader and he betrayed us recently upon retirement. They're largely career-minded capitalists through and through with few exceptions, the rotating villain shtick is fucking old. We're dying, it's not enough.

  • I think it's ridiculous and harmful to ignore the lack of rhetoric lining up with our interests over the last 16 years as well as who they endorse and more importantly, who they don't. It's not remotely difficult to believe they're complicit when they don't stand up for civil rights for trans people, don't call the republicans what they actually are, capitulate early for no reason on the shutdown, seriously spare us the hand-wringing, that's all they ever offer now days. You don't have to have power to say the right thing, and they don't, simple as that.

  • Codependency is self-destructive, not romantic.

    Chronic Anxiety and chronic depression are very similar and tied to similar thought processes and self-fulfilling cycles.

    You can't truly be there for others if you aren't there for yourself.

    Perspective shifting between others and yourself is a powerful tool of understanding and affording yourself the benefits of the doubt that can be hard to muster sometimes.

    YSK that no proof of United States citizenship, no matter how valid, guarantees protection when ICE decides you look like an immigrant.

  • Please change the title of this post to more closely match the original per the community rule 1.

    "Family of U.S. citizen detained by ICE in St. Paul seeks her release"

    I would suggest your editorialized title be in the body instead.

  • The_picard_maneuver I feel was a large reason there was even enough meme content to make it start feeling like a reddit replacement for me. I don't hate power users here since we need more posts to keep the fediverse content active. Maybe if we had 10k+ upvote posts in a single day it'd get old seeing the same faces, but if the content is good it's elevated. I'd only want something done about it if there were bots who follow-voted to achieve misleading numbers.
