Get offended, yes. But do more than that — go on offense. Stop allowing business as usual to proceed in the Senate. Grind the chamber to a halt.

CA-12 Representative Lateefah Simon speaks out on unjust attack on Senator Alex Padilla. As a member of the House Oversight Committee, she is not having it when it comes to preventing members of Congress from conducting their constitutional oversight duties

It has happened here before, and this looks like that. I am literally about to give a talk about the violent takeover of democratic governance in the Reconstructed South, and this looks like that. It is not the same, but if you do not see it at all, you are not looking.

"Minimize internal squabble" is huge--difficult but crucial to success.

How do we restore democratic rule, given the regime’s violent authoritarianism? Peaceful Mass action - even in the face of violent repression. Main things: expand the movement, keep protesting, be creative, minimize internal squabble. Don’t quit.

That and pardon power need to be taken from the president. On the other side of this, the presidency needs to be a much weaker position.

You may be saying, “Well, I’m just not an activist.” All I can tell you is that in days like the ones we’re in, at this perilous point in the life of our Republic, you’re either an activist or a passivist. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/a-letter-t...

It’s true, as many have suggested, that if they can do this to Sen. Padilla, they can do it to others. I’d only add that they already have been doing this to others. A mass deportation regime, sooner rather than later, becomes contemptuous of civil liberties and basic decency.

@democrats.senate.gov need to disrupt everything going on in the Senate until she resigns or is fired. @housedemocrats.bsky.social need to push for impeachment proceedings immediately.

He and a seemingly shrinking group of beltway hack reporters embody the rot in political journalism. What made me mad about attacks on Biden wasn't just That it was obvious he knew and did his job, but it was a backhanded slap at people who stutter, convoluting that/misstated words and confusion.

House Democrats need to bring articles of impeachment against Kristi Noem, while Senate Democrats need to bring that chamber to a fucking halt.

It’s wild when the people who control the only feed most people see accuse us of being the echo chamber. People are scared and in pain—they deserve spaces to talk without top-down interference. That’s what we’re building.

Some of the things being said repeatedly simply are not resonating with anyone anymore, and it's time to find some new phrasing. Ramp up the rhetoric dramatically.

MAGA Murder Bill is the only thing that aptly encapsulates how this regime seeks to increase it's power to destroy our lives in every single possible way - abducting our neighbors, stealing our healthcare, unleashing the military against anyone who dares speak up for justice and freedom.

They'll have to lock down California & likely New York in order to establish control. How logistically would they manage it? And if there's a nationwide uprising instead, how will they hold control over a country of 400 million people divided into fairly independent states?

100%. They were that way before Trump, they will be after he's gone. This is as of now about everyone else. If we do not finally marginalize these extremists they will take over. The vast majority hates this. Look at polls. It's not even close how Americans feel about people being treated like this.

If they don't think he'll turn on them as soon as they become inconvenient, they're idiots. They need to look up the definition of "purge." The people who run Trump have no intention of letting those raggedy ass folks lead their coup.

The whole reason I quit social media years ago is I felt like I was being funneled like a rat in a maze where they wanted me to go. I don't get the appeal of that, so I love it here. But I'm not trying to monetize it, & BS isn't designed to that purpose. Too many pundits can't get that. @slate.com

When we get to the other side of this crisis, massive reforms need to be implemented immediately. Corporatism is taking down this country. No private company should ever provide government services independently and for-profit, especially not ones that house human beings.

Not a journalist, but that's the main appeal to me, even arguing with trolls. Back then I too often ignored "don't feed the trolls." At least here when they start to annoy me, I can block them.
