If you're looking for a weekend pod, check out our conversation with Chris Murphy. He delivers one of clearest descriptions yet of the dangers of the moment and offers the strongest case yet for Dems to maximize their resistance. Audio here, highlights threaded below. newrepublic.com/article/2013...

Congratulations Eric!

F*uck no

We are in this mess because Donald Trump is a hateful bigot, narcissist and sadist who can’t stand the fact that most people can’t stand him so he needs to mete out retribution to punish all those who hate him for who and what he is. That…and millions who cheer on his hateful ways. What a world.

We can fund health care and keep the government running, or we can shut everything down to raise prices on people. To me, that’s a pretty easy choice.

A signatory state can arrest an individual from a non-signatory state if that person committed crimes against citizens of the signatory state, IF they were in that state. Totally unrealistic but possible. No, I'm not a lawyer; but as a journalist, I covered the negotiations over the Rome Statute.

Can Miller really believe this? If so, he is delusional. If not, then he’s a reprehensible demagogue.

Spot on.

We’re two weeks away from the largest day of peaceful protest in American history. No matter where you live, there’s probably a No Kings Day event happening near you to show we won’t cower in response to Trump’s authoritarian takeover: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

the fact that this even needs to be said is absurd

There are MANY things you can do depending on your safety needs. You don't have to protest. You can volunteer or donate to groups that help immigrants. You can call your reps. You can join your local Indivisible group's #SignsOfSolidarity efforts. There's always something we can do.

Sharing this again because you are not alone. Find the people pushing back against fascism in your community and join them.

What a dark day for press freedom in the United States

you’re going to love it!

Republicans fully expected them to cave, but Senate Democrats continue to hold the line to protect our healthcare. Thank you to everyone who is taking action and encouraging your Dem senators to keep fighting to safeguard healthcare for millions. Let’s keep it going: indivisible.org/campaign/sto...

The lesson of the Trump era is to stick with your principles. He’s coming for you anyway, whether you do or not, so you might as well stick to your principles so people don’t laugh at you afterward and you can look yourself in the mirror.

The President gets no special new powers during a shutdown. He can't eliminate agencies. He can't use federal funds to punish his political opponents. As Trump's illegality grows during the shutdown, Democrats' spines should stiffen to oppose his corruption.

This is simple. Congress should not willingly pay the bills to fund the most serious assault on political freedom in our lifetime - an assault that may collapse democracy as we know it if we don't fight back.

Good. Keep prodding him in his overripe ego.

Congratulations!

Policing speech is fascistic on its face. So own it. Also, you are all gaped assholes, greedheaded grifters and shitmongering liars. Which legal codes have I violated in saying these things to further hurt your feelings?

The USPS is more than stamps & mail—it’s public service, local jobs, and vital infrastructure across our country. Over the rest of this anniversary year, APWU is asking communities to recognize the 250th anniversary and push back against threats to privatize. ✅ Visit apwu.org/250 to help.

thx to the folks tagging me about this you know me 🥲 #BelieveInFilm

It’s fascism, obviously

Tuesday: Trump says he will cuts funds for NYC if @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social is elected. Wednesday: Trump cuts funds for NYC anyway. Do you all get it now? Negotiating with Trump is pointless.

Release the Epstein files. We’re not going to forget about it. open.substack.com/pub/ellieleo...

We demanded that @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social & @schumer.senate.gov fight for us. Now they are! The radical right and radical center are freaking out because Dems refuse to rubber-stamp MAGA cuts. Show some support for Dems who are protecting affordable healthcare and encourage them to #HoldTheLine

So honored to have my image included in @theguardian1.bsky.social Photos of the weekend. Image from a peaceful demonstration at Trump Tower with @riseandresist.bsky.social

Does he realize he just confessed?

Hillary Clinton referred to SOME Trump supporters as”deplorable,” and the political media had a meltdown. Trump refers to all Democrats as anti-American radical communists and “the enemy within,” and it’s no big deal. His reckless and dangerous demonization has been fully normalized.

Now that Trump has shut down the government, Democrats need to be loud and confident in our argument. No 75% premium increases. No lawlessness. That’s what we are fighting for. The people will be with us. But only if we show strength.

"Avoiding politics" during the normalization of fascism is to side with fascism.

Always the GOP framing.

The revolution won’t be televised but the treason sure is

i am shaking with rage. ICE has always been abhorrent but now they're also completely lawless, unrestrained by money or rules. the people caught up in our disgusting immigration system bear the brunt of it, but now journalists are in their crosshairs. hideous behavior.

Nonzero chance that there are several Air Force or Navy officers whose takeaway from this is that they cannot trust a nuclear launch order.

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

@repdangoldman.bsky.social Please refer this to the Manhattan DA’s office since Bondi and Noem not only won’t stop this, but want this to happen.

It's heartening that they didn't applaud at the end. They stood, but they have to do that.

As we are prone to say: it sounds better in the German original.

One year ago, we pulled up to the skatepark to shoot our short film, S.K.A.T.E. After it screens at a few festivals, I'll release it here. Stay tuned!
