Activists in Charlotte are handling out whistles to community members to alert neighbors to the presence of ICE. PS please don’t film faces of the resistance. (I cropped this to avoid that)

Stating the obvious, but #MeToo didn't go far *enough.*

Nuke the industry from orbit.

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

Ah yes, in Germany they called this "lebensraum" But one thing that's important to note: this was their policy back during the campaign too even as people believed for some reason that they would only deport crininals

RE starbucks picket line--the relevant detail is "picket line, do not cross." Pass that along. Proclaiming that you are in no danger of doing so because you are too aesthetically pure to let Starbucks coffee pass your lips is...unhelpful and does not give the impression you perhaps imagine it does.

Honestly I could just post this picture every month and have it be relevant.

Standing up to a tyrant - who is willing to impose pain as leverage to compel loyalty or acquiescence - is hard. You can convince yourself that yielding stops the pain and brings you back to "normal". But there is no "normal". Submission emboldens the tyrant. The threat grows.

Corporate centrist democrats are just diet MAGA and today every single left of center voter seems to get it now

When the Conservative Party in Korea declared martial law, the Korean Democrats knew if they didn’t send them to hell there would be no opposition afterwards. And look at them. They’re taking the ex conservative president and ensuring he never breathes free ever again.

This ruling coming out is literally why they caved when they did.

A tale as old as Democrats

The original Dem demands were: 1) Permanent ACA subsidies 2) Medicaid funding restored 3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission) They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today. The Senate Democrats!

This is not what they actually say. This is what they used to say, in the long ago before times when Shaheen learned to do politics. There is no kumbaya median voter anymore. The question you get knocking doors is not "why can't you all just work together?" it's "why didn't / will you fight harder?

he’s saying exactly what we’ve been saying, he’s absolutely right, and any colleagues of his should listen to him every part of the country that could just told Donald Trump to go to hell and we demand our elected representatives follow suit

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

Elected Democrats spending more time today praising Dick Cheney than Zohran Mamdani is a great case study in abject fucking moral failure.

This isn't a closing election argument, it's Vidkun Quisling explaining why surrender is better than resistance.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions "Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

The Democratic gubernatorial nominee in VA is effectively calling the Democratic mayoral nominee in NYC a liar on the eve of close, contentious, and crucial elections for both of them. What a joke this party often is. No wonder Republicans win so much.

Spotify is now running ICE recruitment ads. We asked them to stop. They ignored us. Let's show them what we showed Disney. No Kings, No Collaborators, No Capitulators. indivisible.org/cancel-spotify

That theory is wildly wrong (a VP candidate has to be eligible to become president) but why are you tossing him suggestions for how he can violate the Constitution? Who asked this? Is this what we can expect from the new and improved White House press corps?

With the general assembly closed for the year SNAP benefits are going to run out for hundreds of thousands North Carolinians. I guess we’ll just have to eat the rich instead.

And so it begins...

When I say the MAGA movement is post-truth, this is the sort of thing I mean. Push blatant lies in advance of an event, see overwhelming evidence that the lies were false, know that others saw it too, but plow ahead with the same lies, opposed to the notion that living in factual reality matters.

Never mind every other single abominable or corrupt thing to this miserable moment, the extrajudicial and unevidenced execution of 34 human beings by the U.S. Navy on the orders of a U.S. President acting in peacetime is sufficient for his impeachment and conviction. If we were a republic, I mean.

The optics of Trump building a ballroom that 99.9% of Americans will never set foot in while millions line up for food banks are worth more than any policy paper or economic proposal. This image is a visceral punch in the mouth that needs no words. It should haunt the GOP for a generation.

My vote in the 2028 D primary for POTUS will hinge almost entirely on the % of this Administration they promise to imprison

Our entire lives are run by like 5 companies. We’re not even asking for new laws at this point. Can we start with just enforcing the current rules? youtube.com/watch?v=AwMI...

The GOP caved. The Dems caved. Wall Street caved. Big Law caved. The Ivy League universities caved. The DOJ caved. The FBI caved. The media caved. At America's moment of crisis, the only ones who stood strong against tyranny were the furries.

Republicans openly admit to denying people representation. They have no qualms about their hatred for democracy.

that donald trump was allowed to become president again after J6 is something we may never recover from as a nation

Minimum demands from here on: - Abolish ICE immediately - Prosecute and jail all ICE leaders nationwide, and any ICE goon who can be proven to have violated the Constitution - Prosecute and jail all Trump administration officials responsible, inc. Cabinet level - Abolish Dept of Homeland Security

The complete and total bullshit about this is that it should have been the FIRST question asked of Johnson. It is a disgrace that he was not asked about this before he ended his press conference. Unbelievable that he continues to get away with this. bsky.app/profile/atru...

the people who told us to calm down because Roe was settled law are the same people now telling us to calm down because the military would never open fire on Americans

Trump only has criminal immunity if we honor Trump v. US, which we should not do. We should tear up the Constitution before we accept that as law.

/6 If you are stuck in the McArdlian view "we can't think of the other side of evil" -- which I view as sociopathic -- I have to ask, is there ANYTHING they can do that will make you call it evil? Is there ANYTHING they can do that won't make you say "I should focus on finding common ground?"

Also: it makes zero sense to do a "deal" on any spending when Trump has already proven he will impound appropriated money at any time for any reason and SCOTUS has said repeatedly that him doing so is fine

I cannot emphasize enough that this administration shouldn’t get 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘦 𝘷𝘰𝘵𝘦 from the Dems until they start obeying the law. Not. One. Optics matter: if you want people to turn out next election despite troops in the streets, then show them it matters. Do your goddamn jobs and hold the line.

Most of the power authoritarians have is freely given. We should not comply with them in advance. Trump is far weaker than he looks. So is the GOP. We should draw them out, drain them at every opportunity, and fight for people’s wellbeing at every turn. We have been sent here to fight for people.

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

Um, anyone who read project 2025?
