The more I think about it, the more Iâm convinced the Democrats have to push their hand immediately. The parallels with the delays and subsequent failures after January 6th are blaring warning signs about what will happen if they donât go after the issues with ICE and CBP at the root RIGHT NOW.

This. I am done returning to the status quo of what got us here. I want universal healthcare. I want a maximum wage tied to the minimum wage. I want omnipresent, cheap public transit and walkable neighborhoods. I want Supreme Court and police reform, and I want the rich to pay their fair share.

Any Democratic votes to fund DHS later this month as Minneapolis is being terrorized by DHS is going to be a major slap in the face to Americans living here. Demand major reforms or shut the government down.

The tragic death of Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year old mother fatally shot by ICE, shows that ICE canât be reformed and must be abolished. Iâll be introducing the Abolish ICE Act as a step toward justice, accountability, and humanity in our immigration policy. Time to melt ICE.

one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it

The American people electing Trump after he staged a coup attempt 5 years ago was a nail in the coffin of our democracy. You can rationalize it all you want - But inflation! But wokeness! - but ultimately it was a societal suicide attempt and probably the dumbest collective voting decision ever made

As the people who insist otherwise try to burn the country, it's important to affirm that immigrants, from everywhere, are awesome, and America is better the more immigrants we have. You have to be just empty and vapid and unimaginably small to reject that.

If they claim they haven't heard the quote, play it for them and ask for a response. If they claim it's being taken out of context, play a longer version and ask for a response. If they try to sidestep the issue, play it over again and ask for a response.

So far today, Chuck Schumer has said his strategy for preventing Trump sending troops into blue cities is to win over Republican senators (!) while Hakeem Jeffries praised Eric Adams's courage and authenticity (!!) while refusing to endorse Mamdani. Again. These two gotta go.

Trump Confesses that the United States Is a Client of Russia - emptywheel
The hold Putin has over Trump is existential for Trump. And unless we can expose that, the US will increasingly become a mere satellite of Russia.

Democrats need to directly attack and pressure institutions for caving to Trump. As in, they need to give speeches and call out - by name - companies, universities, and law firms that have acceded to his illegal demands. If they don't, the path of least resistance will always be acquiescence.

A disconcerting number of high status people upended their worldviews because other people did not affirm that status in the way they thought appropriate. And social media accelerated this because for high status people it is often the experience of people telling you that you are wrong.

Everything they do is adversarial to democracy and decency and is brutal on purpose, because it's not really about any actual policy. Some of them want to be able to punish people; others are more focused on controlling institutions. In each case, every action is an attempt to keep and expand power.

The mass starvation & killing of Palestinians in Gaza at the hands of the Israeli govât is a chillul hashem, a desecration of God. Jewish leaders who criticized Zohran Mamdani for three words he doesnât use should raise their voices loudly here as well.

Gaza is starving. Where are the American Jewish leaders?
A fear of being labelled antisemitic still deters American Jews and Jewish institutions from taking a position that is morally correct.
