Homan would be such a easy target for an actual opposition party—the architect of a deeply unpopular program who is also cartoonishly corrupt.

I know it's hard to do but you have to tune out the constant & I mean constant torrent of criticisms on social media re: activism & organizing. If you don't, it can stop you from trying to do any activism or organizing. Most of the critics aren't doing any organizing themselves so keep trying things

I know I am way behind on this, but given that the only entertainmenty stuff I’ve been able to consume for years is stuff I’ve been able to watch with young kids: The Morning Show is absolutely excellent. My God.

They still haven't consolidated full authoritarianism yet; they can still lose

No idea huh? I wonder what the dragon's like. Is it a Grand Dragon, Stephen?

FWIW they are also trying this with Mikie Sherrill in NJ (also no far leftie) and it’s so ridiculous that I’ve been told the middle schoolers are laughing at it in social studies class.

I hope the majority realizes you can't win over the right wing with civility or the old ways. Doesn't work. Its a dangerous, violent, hypocritical cult without shame. They want power by any illegal means necessary. Choose your fighters accordingly. The current Dem leadership ain't it.

There’s a simple answer. “Democrats won’t vote to fund this regime as is. It’s up to the republicans if they want to shut down the government. They’re in the majority.”

Bonkers insane

You can spend today seeking a way to support and uplift the many marginalized groups that Kirk demonized and harmed.

If you get arrested at a protest, and you need to fight a charge, who's your lawyer? A public defender may represent you at arraignment. (Love you, PDs!) Afterward, usually it's an NLG lawyer, working for free. The NLG Chicago needs your support. (ACLU doesn't do crim defense, with exceptions.)

Blocking Nazis, trolls, and fascists doesn’t make it an “echo chamber.” People need to stop gaslighting us into thinking we have to listen to Nazis and debate trolls in order to be informed.

the fact they're out here running "abigail spanberger will trans your kids" against one of the most conservative candidates out of the Democratic Party is a great example of why actually standing up for trans people, especially kids, is the only way to go

In Naperville, IL on Wednesday, ICE surrounded a group of documented workers replacing a residential roof. ICE agents reportedly kicked over the ladders and forced the workers to jump. The episode involved a chase with guns drawn.

Just not gonna post all the thoughts I have in my head right now.

The president ordering the murder of 3 more human beings on a boat didn’t even make the list

They’re also seizing people who try to self deport, so the advocates are lying even about this.

It’s going to break your heart how many people you know, love, and respect will turn out to be cowards. Prepare yourself as best you can. You are not alone, but you are your own center. Be a strong center.

It’s not a crime to be in this country as an undocumented person. It’s a civil violation. But you know what is a crime? Taking a bribe from undercover agents in exchange for the promise of government contracts WHEN YOU’RE THE FCKING BORDER CZAR.

Never in our history, not even during Watergate, has a single news cycle so comprehensibly established the deep corruption and politicization of the Department of Justice

Shit just got real

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

You cannot understand US politics without understanding racism. It's impossible.

Wow. Just wow.

@tylerknott.bsky.social has always been brilliant but this one came back to me tonight and I am ever grateful. You need it. Trust me, you do. We all do.

There is a reckoning coming when this is all over, and the trials will not be pretty. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

This is crisis communication.

Nothing is inevitable. In either direction. Hope and work.

Hakeem Jeffries supporting Charlie Kirk before endorsing Zohran Mamdani is really fucking nasty.

Again, it’s hierarchy, not hypocrisy.

Remember, courts have already rejected Trump's claim that Venezuelan refugees coming to the US were an "invasion" and an act of war sent by Maduro. But Trump doesn't care about reality. He just needs to (1) create fear and (2) have someone to bully.

Wow.

Look at what Dem electeds can do when they actually give a shit about the people they’re elected to represent.

currently at record-high search interest for canceling disney plus. pulling kimmel is a bigger deal to the company's bottom line than any of the "woke" scandals of the past 5 years. i think news & entertainment corp execs need put more work into understanding their audience, & get off twitter

genuinely believe that a large number of political, economic and media elites do not realize that nearly half the voting public did not vote for trump

Amongst the many, many other faults and follies of the party, perhaps the single most dangerous problem with the Democratic Party today is their incessant habit of reinforcing the idea that there is absolutely *no* principle that matters, no policy that is sacrosanct that they will stand behind.

5) Here we see the same agent still gunning for her as others take her away from the scene into the street.

3) Here are still shots taken from the videos. Here you see the victim being targeted by the guy w/out a helmet. He aimed a non-lethal gun (pepper ball/paint ball). However, these non-lethal weapons can kill when used this close. He knows this. All cops know this.

🧵This is a serious use of force violation. The violent attack of this woman must be prosecuted by Chicago/Illinois for violation of state’s rights. I’m going to break this down. You see her blocking the ICE van. Agents violently push her to the ground. Then you see 1 guy target her & choke her.

Early in person voting has also started in Virginia

The vote in the House on the Kirk resolution. www.govtrack.us/congress/vot...

For folks who are asking me why they haven't heard of WFP, here's what you need to know to get involved. They are currently backing Mamdani, Fateh, Abughazaleh and a host of others. They have endorsed slates in every election. workingfamilies.org/about/

BIG NEW YORKERS AGAINST ICE rally at 6 pm, Thursday, 9/25 at Foley Square in NYC, friends! Please do come through! If you've never been to a rally, why not start here? It's 2025 and it's time. We all gotta stand up for all of us.

YOU DON'T SAY

A party is an organization, a container, a shell, a label. Organizations end all the time and become new entities and movements. It’s only the people that matter.

Someone needs to say it: Americans are not going to vote for candidates who throw trans people, let alone trans kids, under the bus. The moment for debating that has come and gone (and should never have been up for debate in the first place).

As the artwork on my office wall says: TIDES WILL TURN.
