The Dem consultants have apparently decreed what America *really* cares about affordability. Not private paramilitary forces breaking 4th Amendment rights. Not destroying critical political and economic alliances. It's insanity. It's like brushing your teeth while you're being mugged.

i am a middle aged white mom with a minivan. i live in a brick ranch and vote democrat in every election. i am the electoral equivalent of a free space in bingo. I PROMISE THIS IS NOT WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT AT MY KITCHEN TABLE

It is what it is.

I’d like to put Chuck Schumer in five buckets.

I can’t go to the grocery store alone right now because ICE is racially profiling and abducting people who aren’t white

This.

For those saying “oh but the cabinet are all sycophants.” Yes. We know. It’s called PRESSURE. You pressure the system until something gives. Micro cracks in the wall until some bricks start to come loose.

“We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the hateful words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people.” - Martin Luther King Jr., Letter from the Birmingham Jail Silence is not neutral. It is a choice.

Invoke the 25th Amendment.

The 25th Amendment must be invoked by the cabinet. I’m all for pressuring them. Congressional Dems should lead the charge. Not on Bluesky or Threads. Let’s do it.

I do wonder if that same level of enthusiasm would be repeated for anyone exercising their 1st Amendment rights, but calling...a different number with disinformation?

When I lecture to students about how the apparently thriving economy of the 1920s was really a house of cards just waiting to be knocked down, one of the points I stress is how much a small number of the very rich were essentially propping up consumer spending in unsustainable ways

“Kindness is loaning someone your strength instead of reminding them of their weakness.”

When does the Apprentice President series end? It seems like its episodes & scripts are repetitive. The star of the show is too predictable & hard to watch, especially when he forgets or stumbles over his words & makes up his own words. He should be fired! 🙄

We have never needed more white dad-coded men to stand up for people who don't look or sound like them. A surprising number of white dad podcasters allowed their viewers to see them on the verge of tears watching the Renee Good video or reading her wife's statement. That matters.

These are men who grew up learning to hate mom but be terrified when dad gets mad.

Morgan for the win once again. #USDemocracy youtube.com/shorts/zROIV...

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

F*ckin' frat boy justice. Policing by Biff f*cking Tannen. ICE and DHS are rotten to the core. Throw that apple in the trash.

#MorningVibe For those of you who’ve stayed silent so far, when will you speak up? You may be next. Rise and resist.

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

This is from the Vonnegut museum, and apt as ever.

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

pulling this reflection on white silence/fear over here, too:

You did this Donald Trump voters. You fucking did this

Uniter ICE Agitators win if they enrage you away from peaceful protest Trump’s Plan is to… 1️⃣ Deploy ICE into "blue cities" 2️⃣ Exaggerate scale & severity 3️⃣ Deploy National Guard 4️⃣ Invoke Insurrection Act #DemVoice1 #ResistanceUnited #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory → @robertreich.substack.com.web.brid.gy

In the worst of times, real leaders emerge from the placeholders. These are the words of a real leader.

So, the shame should go all to Trump. Of course you can't claim another person's award—that's as absurd as saying "I won the Super Bowl" if, say, Jalen Hurts gave up his ring to Trump. But, for an actual Peace Prize winner, giving up the hunk of gold to help bring peace to their homeland? Easy.

Everyone should be 100% of the bargain AOC is talking about here: Republicans gutted insurance coverage for nearly *everyone*, and gave that money—not back to the people—but to DHS and ICE. Because the President and his cronies are lying about a so-called immigrant terrorist/criminal "invasion".

I may be overly optimistic—but I think this man's voice is the **actual** voice of the majority of Americans. ..."f*cks" and all.

A school teacher was rammed right in front of the school by ICE-holes, her window broken, and she was pulled from the car and taken. #FuckICE #ProudBlue #Pink #Minnesota

Has anyone made the connection that these ICE assaults, because let’s be honest they’re assaults, are concentrated in Ilhan Omar’s district & she is up for reelection in 2026?

Kristi Noem has been a complete and total failure at her job. She has violated her oath and has allowed ICE agents to terrorize our communities. That’s why I’m joining @robinkelly.house.gov in calling for her impeachment. We deserve better, she’s gotta go.

Excellent. We need more please. IMPEACH Kristi Noem.

Denmark is in NATO. That alone makes the idea of “invading” Greenland absurd. We already have military access and can secure rare earths through agreements. An invasion would be unnecessary, expensive, and destroy U.S. credibility. With @katiecouric.bsky.social

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness. You could be next.

Nothing about this response bodes well. My guess? Vance and Rubio tried to dress down the Ministers like Trump and Vance did to Zelenskyy, but they weren't having it.

I want these fuckers prosecuted. I will not vote for a candidate who shies away from this.

The Grid and the Scam.

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen *Everyone has stories like this*

💯

What an absurd and idiotic and utterly disgraceful situation—for indigenous Americans to be kidnapped and detained by ICE...for immigration violations? Absolutely mindblowing in its hypocrisy.
