IMO Sen. Van Hollen had the right approach. Stand firmly in defending the process and the Constitution. You don’t have to defend every individual — that’s a trap.

Right.

But it's actually not a political loser. See @gelliottmorris.com . Trump only has a SLIGHT +approval left on immigration in general.

Every ghoulish Stephen Miller policy polls horribly. Very few are ok with defying SCOTUS or "deporting" never mind enslaving innocents.

I think @gavinnewsom.bsky.social is "protecting" the same kind of LALA land 'democracy' that @kamalaharris.com and Nancy Pelosi tried to shove down our throats.

Democrats need to learn how to LEAD "the people," not follow their interpretation of the polls. Americans thirst for real leadership that stands for basic human ethics.

Everyone needs to come back from the El Salvador Gulag.

I think the Magna Carta *was* a kitchen table issue. And really, so is the Bill of Rights and the Constitution.

I needed this!

Thank you for reminding us that, “You are not the crazy one.”

Somedays I do feel alone and wonder if it’s me…

You are definitely not alone!

We are all out here alone, but at the same time together!

This issue is extremely important!

Couldn't agree more. I'm calling Sen Maj Leader Thune, Speaker Johnson, and my own two MN senators daily, telling them all I'm not going to forget or move on from #Kilmar.

What does Gavin Newson have to do with this conversation?
Give me a break.

Newsom has been critical of the Democrats focusing on the El Salvador Gulag.

chchch-cherrybomb.bsky.social•20 days ago

I mean, I’ve barely heard about this guy.

annaliisavilppu.bsky.social•20 days ago

Every single person from El Salvador needs to come back and given due process.

annaliisavilppu.bsky.social•20 days ago

I know! Where are the CA senators?

chchch-cherrybomb.bsky.social•20 days ago

Well, I don’t necessarily agree with him. But he does have a point that we can’t make it our only focus.

Thanks for the Norwegian film recs. Happy to hear more if you've got any. From my end: Occupied (TV series) and Max Manus Man of War (movie) were both great. And of course Trollhunter was fun.

All the fascist warnings fell on deaf ears when the voting started. It’s all about the economy and the Democrats still haven’t learned their lessons. Keep hitting him on benefit cuts. It’s the only thing that matters to those who voted for him.
