If the Supreme Court makes you mad keep in mind that within the last week Democratic senators have been voting for GOP judges to get on the federal bench

the democrats aren’t a real opposition party

"Don't follow illegal orders" would be more meaningful if Democrats had prosecuted literally any of the prominent war criminals of the last 30 years instead of, you know, fucking campaigning with them

Say it with me: Trump rapes children.

Like, not joking.

Investigate the Sulzbergers.

Another thing this email trove has convinced me of is that NYT has been actively and consciously helping Trump since 2015. It wasn't just casual sexism, double standards, and political reporting Kayfabe. They were doing catch and kill

It’s very clear that the president of the United States is a pedophile, and it’s been clear for many years, and no one does anything about it.

After yesterday’s surrender, we’re launching the largest Democratic primary program that we’ve ever run. We will not back any Senate primary candidate unless they call for Schumer to step down as Minority Leader. If you’re as pissed as we are, join this campaign to rebuild the Democratic Party. 👇

Senate Dems could at any moment choose to remove him from leadership, but every day they choose stasis and complacency instead.

In a normal democracy, a total collapse of party leadership would result in an no-confidence vote and immediate snap elections to find leaders who can lead

Not a real opposition party.

Nancy Pelosi declined to seek war crimes charges for Bush admin criminals, and she had to be pushed to impeach Donald Trump. Meanwhile, she made tens of millions of dollars on insider stock trades. I’d celebrate her departure if her seat weren’t being filled by her nepo baby daughter.

there are monsters among us and when they die we don’t have to pretend they weren’t monsters

Democrats aren’t screaming 24/7 about the fascist GOP’s refusal to seat a duly elected representative in Congress.

You’d be hard-pressed to concoct a better metaphor for America in 2025 than Trump lying about his ballroom and tearing apart the White House in broad daylight while Democrats do absolutely nothing in response.

This is the stuff we need way more of: simple, non-violent acts of refusal to submit to fascism.

They could have perp walked Trump, multiple times, for multiple offenses. They could have convicted him in the Senate, as a bipartisan majority of senators voted to do. When you decide not to pursue justice, this is the result.

On February 13, 2016 I sounded the alarm on our democracy. That’s when Mitch McConnell said he wouldn’t let Obama replace Scalia and the Democrats didn’t immediately treat it like the constitutional crisis it was. Nobody listened, but I was right.

Sustained mass protest is and has always been our only way out of this. I’m talking about tens of millions in the streets, sweeping general strikes, and so on. Every day we count on the Democratic Party to save us from fascism is a day we will slip further into fascism.

Never forget how fast the Democratic Congress passed an emergency spending bill to increase security at Supreme Court justices' homes after peaceful protests outside.

We stand on the precipice of fascism. The Republican Party is dead serious about one-party fascist rule, and the Democratic Party is dead serious about not really trying to stop them. Any chance we have of escaping fascism is entirely on us.
