Correct. When faced with the fork in the road between liberalism (broadly speaking) and fascism, these GOP leaders took the fascist road. There is only darkness in their minds.

Yes, it is. Read for yourself. www.state.gov/releases/off...

This is how to message. Not to propagandize (that's what the other side does). Message.

Remarkable: Majority of working class voters oppose deportations of undocumented immigrants with jobs/no criminal records, per new Marquette data. Remember how pundits said 2024 meant Dems must become restrictionist to win back working class? I challenge that here: newrepublic.com/article/2059...

Yes it’s Valentine’s Day. But it’s also the chosen birthday of Frederick Douglass who was born in 1818 on a plantation in Talbot County, Maryland. He escaped from slavery & rose to become the most eloquent and forceful voice for the abolition of slavery & for Black voting rights in the U.S.

This is a key discussion needing to be had exactly at the Munich Security Conference. @aoc.bsky.social is on target. (There actually used to be political consensus around the idea of sharing wealth equitably across society. It's when that consensus broke down that democracies stopped delivering.)

"Eliminate presidential immunity" needs to become as common a refrain as "eliminate Citizens United"

Take this stat with you while canvassing for the 2026 mid-terms.

This is how to message. And listen to the whole clip. @ossoff.senate.gov is connecting all the dots. (Note: racism and plutocracy were always intertwined.)

Indeed, the Epstein files (and Epstein-Mandelson relationship, Epstein's links to Russian leaders & coordinated Epstein-Russian investments in Silicon Valley, etc.) show how urgently the *U.S.* needs a proper reckoning with Russian interference in its politics.

Please open to find ways to help Ukrainians in this dark winter. Trump & Congress abandoned---betrayed---Ukraine. As a result, Ukraine lacks adequate air defenses & Russia is able to commit war crime after war crime targeting civilian facilities & civilians. Americans can fill some of this void.

Self-censorship is obeying in advance. Shielding Americans from what this administration has done to the US's reputation and standing abroad is a profound disservice to NBC's viewers, who should know long-standing allies & friends now boo leaders of the United States.

With a few exceptions, the items in this list are already the law. Republicans are saying it’s unrealistic for Trump’s goons to follow the law.

This is a good slogan.

Notwithstanding the Trump-aligned editorials, the @washingtonpost.com's unionized journalists and other union workers are the ones keeping this a real newspaper (as the @wsj.com). It's worth fighting for. Show solidarity for @postguild.bsky.social. Join the protest if you can. #SaveThePost

What really got to me in this essay, other than the horrible particulars and the inspiring details about the community response, was when she first looked into the protests, on October first, and learned it had already been going for 119 days

Keep reposting. We need to know. And we need to resist (staying committed to strategic nonviolence).

@maddow.bsky.social is posting the reports we generally aren't seeing. Keep reposting. We all need to know the extent of ICE and administration lawlessness.

@billkristolbulwark.bsky.social is correct. It is the right analogy.

More media need to be reporting the full story. Thanks @stephenrodrick.bsky.social for doing it. (See below.) Also thanks to @polgreen.bsky.social for her full-page Sunday Opinion article in @nytimes.com. Please read. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/19/o...).

Glad to have been outside support for today's protest inside Trump Tower bringing attention to dozens who have died in detention centers or at the hands of ICE. Passers-by on posh 5th Ave. were largely supportive & many joined in chants "Abolish ICE." Rise & Resist is right. We can't just stand by.

We have seen the whole gamut of authoritarian abuse of power being unleashed at a greater level this past month. It requires an increasing level of resistance at all levels to prevent Trump's consolidation of greater power.

So many NYers out in the cold at a vigil for Alex Pretti, standing in solidarity with the unions who organized it and with our siblings in MN 💙

"I'm coming to Boston and I'm bringing hell with me." --Homan in February "Do I expect violence to escalate? Absolutely." -- Tom Homan in March "I actually thought about getting up and throwing that man a beating right there in the middle of the room" -- Homan in July, referring to a D congressman

Depends on how one defines Europe, but the un-democratic actions & human rights violations in Georgia *are* at a new level. Worth the read. And @terjehelland.bsky.social is correct: GD does it because it can act with impunity. Unfortunately, the US won't act. Up to the #EU. @kajakallas.bsky.social

There's a reason the right to petition the Government for redress of grievances is part of the First Amendment. Use it. Pressure works. Keep signing. Keep emailing. Keep calling: 202-224-3121 (and ask for your Senator/Rep).

Trump is succeeding in taking over mainstream American media with sycophants and supporters more efficiently even than Viktor Orban. He's doing it without any new law on media.

Correct. If a former R comms person sees it, Dem Senators should, too. This is about the entire authoritarian architecture built for '26 midterms. Dems need to hold the line until ICE is taken off the field (so it stops intimidating voters). Also deny DOJ voter rolls. Protect free & fair elections.

Nor am I. @nytimes.com states that clear evidence only "appears" to contradict (if no video, then there isn't even the appearance). Note, however, the @wsj.com was much clearer stating the video evidence did in fact contradict. Absent Joe Kahn, it seems some journalists/editors may put 2+2 together.

Admitting moral error in his vote is a good thing. Now let's get the 6 other Vichy Dems to do the same (and so @tomsuozzi.bsky.social should do more than just email his campaign list and convince his colleagues to make a common public statement).

Watch and listen.

As much as media (rightly) has covered the resistance to tyranny in Minnesota, they have downplayed the national solidarity that has been demonstrated all over the country (with Rs/former Rs like @govwhitman.bsky.social also standing up).

We should say it more: Teacher unions are central to defending democracy.

If @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social can say it, so can (and so should) @schumer.senate.gov. #WhipTheVote

The supposed "open borders" policy of Joe Biden was in fact aimed at protecting the right of asylum in the U.S. Most who came in 2021-24 were escaping repressive regimes and war. The right of asylum deserved to be protected. This administration has ended it through repression and terror.

For those not familiar with @bellingcat.com, it is best known for its analysis of FSB/GRU assassinations and poisonings (most memorably of Navalny) and Russian aggression in Ukraine. But it does much, much more to hold power to account.

We really didn't need more proof that the arguments about the 2ndA being a necessary protection against the danger of a repressive state were bogus. But we certainly have it now.

True.

A worthy cause. Air defense units used to be provided by the US government. They no longer are and must be supported by the people.

A normal (deputy) Speaker has some advice for a legislative body.

Indivisible, stepping up to make sure our leaders do, too.

PSA: If Bill Kristol can say this dems should be able to say it

We can appeal to people to oppose ICE murdering people in cold blood without speaking to people's economic self-interest. But this is good political messaging nonetheless.

If you aren't ready to lead, you shouldn't be in leadership. If you can't read the room (i.e. public sentiment), you shouldn't be in politics.

Truly, those who advise "don't use the F word" (or that say "Abolish ICE for Good" is calling to defund all law enforcement) haven't been paying attention.
