If they want one-party states, then what's to stop Dems from infiltrating the Republican Party in those states? Like, wouldn't everyone just run as a Republican?

Extraordinary NEW story: We Found That More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. @nicolefoy.bsky.social w/ photos by @sbmaneyphoto.bsky.social

You never saw two nerds spring into action faster than when our 12 year old announced that she's writing a paper on "the psychology of fear" and asked us if we had any books she could use. 😂

Today, I convened a group of former military generals and veterans to hear perspectives on deploying troops in American cities. Their commitment is to our nation. That’s why they’re speaking out against what the President's doing as uncalled-for, unprecedented, and un-American.

Remember when Hillary Clinton got excoriated for calling Trump supporters “deplorables”

Take a picture of yourself at the No Kings rally. Print it. Put it in a frame. Your grandchildren will speak about you for generations to come. You took a stand against fascism. You stood up for democracy.

Protest is fundamentally and essentially American. The United States was formed from protest. 🇺🇸

@jenmercieca.bsky.social, expert in politieke retoriek, analyseerde hoe gevaarlijke demagogen zoals Trump retoriek als wapen🔫 gebruiken. Ze ontdekte dat Trump een aantal basis-strategieën gebruikt. Ik ben benieuwd welke we vanmiddag terug gaan zien bij het NL verkiezingsdebat. Draadje🧵 /1

The more I talk to people the more I hear stories about how much harder everything is getting. Check on your people if you can. ❤️

I made a pumpkin roll with cream cheese filling. It was good.

MIT: "The document also includes principles with which we disagree, including those that would restrict freedom of expression & our independence as an institution...the premise of the document is inconsistent with our core belief that scientific funding should be based on scientific merit alone."

Happy Friday to everyone who didn’t lose a peace prize today! 🤭

Hey, the Antifa meeting is cancelled for tonight, check your moonbeam messengers for the new meeting deets.

As the DOJ indicts Letitia James, 62% of Americans say Donald Trump has improperly encouraged federal investigations into his political opponents. That includes 85% of Democrats and 40% of Republicans. www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...

"contradictions" much like Trump's use of paralypsis (“I’m not saying/I’m just saying”), per @jenmercieca.bsky.social's analysis in "Demagogue For President," summed up in my interview here: www.salon.com/2020/07/04/t...

"Republicans estimate that 32% of Democrats are LGBT when in reality it is 6%; Democrats estimate that 38% of Republicans earn over $250,000 per year when in reality it is 2%" Reading an academic article on "political sectarianism.:"

Oh: - The US sold $80 billion in oil and gas abroad through July. - China exported $120 billion in green technology over the same period. By @akshatrathi.bsky.social 🎁🔗 www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

I SUPER can't wait for this! 🤩

The way to win elections on the left is to tell people a narrative that they want to engage with, that gives them a heroic role to play, that creates a community, and gives everyone in that community a special status. Voting is an act of ratification for the community they want to see triumph. 🏆

This is the way.

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

This is a long, thoughtful, and brilliant post about how to understand political campaigning & strategy from one of the progressive left's most brilliant thinkers and practitioners @anatosaurus.bsky.social.

When a BBC reporter can do this, without privileged access to communications data, I find it hard to accept law enforcement's constant claim that they are "going dark" because of encrypted messaging. Encryption is not the main obstacle to effective law enforcement. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

"Create chaos at all costs. Confuse people as to the difference between ethical objections and legal claims...Confuse people about whether the sky is blue or the grass is green while you shape their fear into rage and then commodify their rage into profit." www.nytimes.com/2025/10/01/o...

If you want to understand propaganda you have to realize that what we call "reality" is really just mutually agreed upon hallucinations. Our sense of reality is easily manipulated by the creation of intersubjective hallucinations. They create "truth" that serves the interests of the propagandists.
