A gray cat is sitting squarely on a backlit keyboard at a tidy desk setup. Behind the cat, a large computer monitor displays a vivid sunset sky with orange and purple clouds above silhouetted trees. The cat looks slightly grumpy, blocking the keyboard as if preventing work.

## WTF Dems We believe in LGBTQ+ rights and DEI. We believe in science, vaccines, and not dying of cancer. We believe in the Constitution and the rule of law—not whatever unhinged version Republicans are trying to scribble in crayon. We believe in Social Security and the social safety net because people shouldn’t have to launch a fucking GoFundMe to survive. We know that tariffs are fucking stupid. We hate that our kids have to practice active shooter drills instead of just practicing for a spelling bee. Billionaires should pay more taxes—full stop. It is *absolutely* mind-blowing that this still needs saying, but: **Nazis. Are. Bad.** And by the way? The economy does better under Democrats—because actual leadership beats whatever grift-fueled dumpster fire the GOP keeps setting. We believe in fighting for what’s right, but our so-called representatives are too busy “reaching across the aisle” to shake hands with fascists. Meanwhile, Donald Trump, unelected co-president Musk, and the complicit Republican Party are actively wrecking the government and this country, and we refuse to sit back and let it happen. This is not the time to fundraise. This is the time to fight back. Let's go.
This image shows a cup of coffee with latte art on the surface. The design in the milk foam appears to be a tulip or leaf pattern, which is a common style in latte art. The coffee has a rich, caramel-brown color with the white milk foam creating the artistic design in the center. The cup is white with a dark handle and sits on what looks like a granite or marble countertop with a speckled gray pattern.

"If there's one thing I'd hoped people had learned going into the next four years of Donald Trump as president, it's that spending lots of time online posting about what people in power are saying and doing is not going to accomplish anything. If anything, it's exactly what they want. Many of my journalist colleagues have attempted to beat back the tide under banners like "fighting disinformation" and "accountability." While these efforts are admirable, the past few years have changed my own internal calculus. Thinkers like Jean-Paul Sartre and Hannah Arendt warned us that the point of this deluge is not to persuade, but to overwhelm and paralyze our capacity to act. More recently, researchers have found that the viral outrage disseminated on social media in response to these ridiculous claims actually reduces the effectiveness of collective action. The result is a media environment that keeps us in a state of debilitating fear and anger, endlessly reacting to our oppressors instead of organizing against them."
This image shows a split ergonomic keyboard setup on what appears to be a desk with a wooden surface. The keyboard is divided into two separate halves, each with black keycaps and blue LED underglow lighting. Between the keyboard halves is a Stream Deck device (a small programmable LCD button panel) with multiple buttons visible. The keyboard appears to rest on a light-colored desk mat or mousepad that also has blue LED lighting around its edges. There are what look like computer speakers visible at the top of the image, and what might be a small ornament or figurine in an orange/brown color on the left side.
