i feel like this from roosevelt's 1942 state of the union address still works as a mantra today for our fight

BREAKING: WATCH the full 60 Minutes CECOT segment here. This was sent to me anonymously. It appears to be the segment CBS' Bari Weiss killed. www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...

this is a good reminder of how things that are shitty but have been accepted as normal and inevitable can actually turn out to be abnormal and evitable with some science, time, education and political will

How can something so frail and tenuous be at peace in this brutal world?! #ff14

He'll start a war to: 1. Distract from the Epstein Files 2. Steal oil 3. Justify emergency powers 4. Justify use of the AEA for deportation/internment 5. Help the drug lord he just pardoned

Trump ran on a promise that ICE would go after the “worst" criminals. But the real crime is in oligarchs taking $170b from your healthcare and food assistance to form a secret police force. Our country has defeated fascism before and it is time we fight to uphold our legacy.

This is just one example, but this story is the perfect example of why mediocre white guys are against DEI and this is the “American Dream” they’re trying to preserve. This is the “western culture” they want to protect, and anti-discrimination laws and policies destroy that.

The ACA isn't just "health care for people who don't have a conventional employer." It also disallows something that was incredibly common 20 years ago, which I fear is getting lost to generational memory: insurance companies could deny you health care for essentially any previous health problem.

if they manage to rescind birthright citizenship, doesn't that mean nobody's a citizen? I know, they'll have some hand wavey thing to explain why it only applies to *certain* people, but what the hell even makes me a citizen, apart from having been born in Kansas?

For comparison, every robotic mission NASA has ever sent in its history, from the dawn of the Space Age 65 years ago to today, from Mercury to Pluto and beyond, has cost less than $40B. I know which one has done more for humankind and which one should be dismantled.

Remember how I've said AI is an attack? This is what I meant

Trumpism and Trumpists are incompatible with American culture and traditions and should be purged.

The other 4 out of 10 are apparently employed by for-profit health care companies… or stupid.

Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.

has anyone responded to this point yet? ie, that the reactionary centrist strategy has chaterstrophocally failed in the UK i've made it, @michaelhobbes.bsky.social , @jamellebouie.net & others have www.politicalphilosophypodcast.com/appeasement

With the Epstein case, we either end up in a world where pedophilia, sexual assault of children, and human trafficking are endorsed by the United States of America, or we hold every single person involved in these heinous crimes accountable. It appears the Trump regime is trying hard for the former.

I see the “technically it’s ephebophelia” crowd is out today, so just a reminder that A) this is NOT a case where technically correct is the best kind of correct and B) the minute you say this, the gods dump you in the “irredeemable creeper” basket and wash their hands thoroughly after touching you.

Can we just take a minute and acknowledge that our POTUS is right OUT IN THE OPEN lobbying Congressional members to vote against releasing the Epstein files?! Like... what the fuck else does anyone even need to know?

Fall 2017: Then-NYT reporter literally warning Epstein that someone is "digging around again."

Can we circle back to the part where the NY Times never disclosed that they have incriminating information on Donald Trump from sent by Epstein that's been sitting on their email servers for nearly a decade?

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

SEATTLE: If you know someone who lives in Seattle and guess they probably voted for Katie Wilson for Mayor, your contribution to this fight is to text them this information about making sure they voted with their signature on the envelope! TEXT them NOW.

Oh yes please. I want to be a modern country.

From street marches to court battles to the ballot box - we’ve challenged the power of this exceptionally unpopular president. The lesson from each success we've had is that we need to ramp the political pressure up, always up, not back down, now more than ever.

Never forget who sold us out: Hassan King Cortez-Masto Shaheen Kaine Fetterman Durbin Rosen

Every single Dem that caved and agreed to this deal needs to be primaried and voted out. They are cowards who wasted the last month for a half baked promise vote a month from now.

Was the thought process going into this that Dem voters would be satisfied with an appearance of resistance? That we would say, well, you guys tried really hard & we give you an A for effort? Because my opinion is that performative drama is the MAGA brand, it should not be ours.

The entire right-wing propaganda machine came after Zohran Mamdani. The president and his allies came after him. Democratic leaders, by and large, did not have his back until the last minute. He still won, turning out historic numbers and inspiring young voters. His politics can win anywhere.

1️⃣ The right-wing echo chamber isn’t organic. It is engineered. This week’s #EchoMap reveals how one lie, “America is collapsing because of Democrats,” spread from meme accounts to GOP talking points in six days. #Voices4Victory #DV1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

✨❤️Primary everyone who refused to fight for the fucking people ❤️✨

serious note: they're gonna try 5x harder to sabotage the midterms after tonight and we're gonna have to organize on a literally historic scale to stop them

really obvious now why trump and the republican party have been working so hard to prevent fair elections lol they know

multiple states are declaring food emergencies as the president holds decadent parties with showgirls and builds a golden ballroom

To stand up for what is right💪

Put that away! It’s barely November!!! #ff14

Whoever at SE placed the All Saints’ Wake props clearly had fun with it. Or they really liked a certain 1997 movie that came on two VHS cassettes, I suppose. #ff14

Obama: The weird videos of a U.S. President with a crown on his head flying a fighter jet and dumping poop on protesting citizens… All of that is designed to distract you from the fact that your situation has not gotten better.

I am certainly no seasoned strategist but I am a little skeptical of the political wisdom behind building a giant golden ballroom and sharing a dozen photos of a renovated marble bathroom at the very moment that millions of people are losing access to healthcare and food.

Republicans are taking away health care from 15 million Americans. They are doubling premiums for 20 million. Now, they are illegally withholding emergency SNAP funding that keeps millions of children from going hungry. All so they can give $1 trillion in tax breaks to the 1%.

YOU GOTTA DO SOMETHING ✊🏾 m.youtube.com/watch?v=iX6L...

New in PN: The triumph of bullshit "We’re a long way from 'covfefe' and tumescent hurricanes Sharpied on a weather map. This is an era of lies as policy, where government priorities are based on right-wing conspiracy theories and fear-mongering."

Trump's approval ratings are tanking. He's flailing on the economy. He hasn't done squat to help working people. The Epstein scandal haunts him. Remember that every authoritarian action Trump is taking must be understood against the backdrop of his declining popularity.

3/8 Across right-wing media the message discipline is relentless: “Democrats are terrorists. The Left is the party of murder.” From Libs of TikTok to Laura Loomer to Christopher Rufo, the script is identical. Repeat the lie everywhere until it feels like fact. #USDemocracy

Case in point: Portland Oregon is not a war zone. The only real “war” violence we’ve had here WAS CAUSED BY THE FEDERAL GOV!!!

So glad I own my music instead of streaming.

The future of the Democratic Party must be rooted in investing in the American people — not Wall St., corporations, and consultants. Otherwise, Trumpism will continue to use cynicism, racism, and distrust to divide America.
