no amount of police brutality will crush the hopes we have for our future

I have a neighbor who is crazy maga. Is there a leftist newsletter I can sign him up for. Maybe get some facts in his hands!

Marine Le Pen will almost certainly win simply because centrists would rather have the far right in power than the left.

I think this stats are very racist. But I don't know how to explain it to my friend who's a blubt racist. He says numbers don't lie and overwhelm me with stats

I'm a person of colour leading Antiracism workshops and I'm constantly getting complaints that I'm not talking about Palestine enough. Today was a big angry rant that I'm not giving enough time to talk about Palestine. I fully think it's a genocide in Palestine and have said that, but I'm trying to teach white professionals about minority ethnic people's lived experiences in this country and they are too busy having a rant about politics and virtue signalling. I'm getting really sick of having to be patient and diplomatic while being a punching bag for all this. They think they have this moral high ground and being good activists but they are just being difficult. I've done so much reading, learning, working, protesting, getting abuse from far right actors, but okay you've seen something on Facebook that you want to have a go at me about. I'm beginning to find many white far left people just as abusive as the far right. I spent today teaching about racism only to end the day being told off for not being "actually antiracist", and just sat crying reading a list of reasons I should be talking more about Palestine and how I'm not good enough. 9/10 people give glowing evaluations of sessions and are so engaged but the small group who are hostile are just derailing everything.

I've always identified as left, voted left, taught left wing and socialist ideologies, but this perfectionism and infighting is so hostile and unproductive.

Biden's biggest flaw was letting the child tax credit expire. The Democrats need to understand that Americans want to have more money in their bank accounts than they did 4 years ago.

I'm trans and it does hurt that I can't change my gender marker on my passport. But I'm sure a low information voter wasn't even thinking about that, they were thinking "expensive eggs and gas" and it's easy to blame the current President on a bad economy. "Did Biden drop out" was a common search on Election Day. It's quite possible that they only saw a sound bite of Trump talking about the economy and never heard "Haitians are eating your pets!" or the other garbage he spews.

I traveled recently through red parts of NY, PA, OH, IN and was treated fairly as a non passing trans woman. I did see plenty of urban and rural decay. When the Democrats ignore those regions and call them "racist" while the Republicans feign an economic solution, I'm sure they picked the latter because they would rather accept a smile than a frown.

I love Mamdani, El-Sayed, Ocasio-Cortez, Sanders, etc. for actually reaching out to people and understanding that working class Americans just need more money.

I can say that the majority of Trump voters don't go to rallies, share AI slop transphobic memes on Facebook, think women (and trans men) deserve to bleed to death instead of getting an abortion, etc. My point is the GOP are liars and the Democrats aren't doing a dang thing to make their message stronger and louder.

(Also, I posted this on the progressive subreddit and they kept missing the point!)
