I disagree about the power of sellers being greater than shoppers. It’s going to take both. There are armies of sellers on Etsy who are not actually creators. A few hundred leaving wouldn’t change anything IMO. Same with Amazon, which is also selling the merch.
Also, they made it sound like only women were at the women’s march. Though it was majority women there were a lot of men there who knew how to be an ally without making things about themselves.
The main AP story on their app says “thousands”. It bothered me because it seemed like they were downplaying it. They also said that the 2017 women’s march in DC was “thousands” when it was half a million in DC and over 1mil nation wide.
There’s a hole in my psycho created by grief and I’m trying to fill it with Honey Grahams and zombie-like IG scrolling.
A big heartfelt thanks to all those who decided to stay home and not vote last November.
Lazy, shortsighted, naive bunch of a-holes.
On the way home from work tonight i saw a new looking Tesla with a vanity plate “ES ES”.
This guy is in one of the worst prisons in the world with no way out and may spend the rest of his life there because, it appears, he has an autism awareness tattoo in honor of his little brother.

I hear a lot of people saying “do something” but seemingly unaware of what Dems are already doing. Here’s Jeffries initial outline of what was started as soon as Trump took office. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25... I expect the Dems to keep disrupting legislation and filling legal challenges.
Why do you think he hasn’t stepped up? Anything done during the speech would have only been performative. Jeffries has already publicly spoken out about the lies that were told during the speech, but no act or absence during the speech would have changed what Trump said.
We’re actually owned by a UK investment company and the ships are operated by a Swiss company. It’s a very liberal place- onboard the guests can’t even watch Fox News on our TVs. It’s a bad time for the travel industry but it still makes me happy to know Canadians are delivering the payback.
The US based cruise line I work for had a Canadian client call in to cancel because they are following their leadership directive to stop buying US products.
My social media is full of posts showing Dem leaders doing these things. Not everyone but many are doing all they can to block appointees, tie up congress, organize rallies, and file legal actions. The reason Trump won is voter apathy and disinformation about Dems and their accomplishments.
Notably, everyone who is asking where the protests are could be organizing a protest right now. It makes sense to them that they are focused on other things, but not that others are — while they ignore the people who do protest and the folks who are still fighting charges from previous protests.
We could have had it all- the White House and congress but then 90 million people decided to sit this one out and not vote. With full knowledge of who trump is.
They’ve been shouting from the rooftops and enacting as much legislation as possible without a clear majority. Biden signed a ton of executive orders, but then too many people opted out even knowing that Trump is a monster. Now Dems have no control of Congress either.
The Democrats lost their power in the last election and the Republicans are all in for Trump. Our best hope that at the midterms people will actually vote and we’ll have more control.
It will create more lesbians and trans women?
Why is this so hard for white people to grasp? White voters are the key voters. If white voters were even a smidge better, Harris wins in a blowout. Any Democrat wins in a blowout.
It’s the 90 million who screwed us and will continue to do nothing, holding their breath until they get their student loan paid by the government.
Now we’re all eating dog turds for the next 4 years, and the impact is going to last decades. In fact i would say that these people put the last nail in the coffin when it comes to our democracy and the climate. All because the Dem party is a coalition and not a 100% match to their personal agenda.
you can’t convince me that eating broccoli is better than eating dog turds, since i don’t like either of them.
It’s like they were told they could only have one thing to eat for the next for years, and the choices were a dog turd or broccoli, and they said to themselves, i don’t always like broccoli so I’m not going to choose. Someone else can choose because
the first Trump admin. These are people who spend more time complaining about Dem politicians than about GOP politicians. Essentially doing all they could to put Trump back in office.
This is such a basic reality that it’s inconceivable why there are so many supposed Trump haters on here who did not vote and/or who have spent the last 4 years trash talking the Biden admin and refusing to admit that any good happened while he was president, or even simply that it was better than
we understand that we live in a 2 party system and if we don’t support blue candidates the GOP will win. I’ve never agreed 100% with the Dem platform but i know there is literally only one other option and I’m not going to sit by and let them win.
The Democratic party is not just politicians - it’s all of us constituents as well. We don’t agree on everything and there are a lot of different agendas, but what we have in common is that we’re more liberal than conservative. We vote blue because
I’m sure some dems are also talking about trumps broken campaign promises but how does that show they don’t care about the firings?
I’ll never get over that all of this was avoidable and our kids could’ve had a better future had voters just made the obviously rational choice in November. It’s water under the bridge now. But what the fuck, people.
