also, just, I'm sorry, but if there's one critique I have of Democrats AND the Left - here we go, this is me saying something that includes a critique of Dems - it's that we haven't gone, collectively, nearly hard enough on the harms of the current anti-abortion regime in this country

Having a bit of a hard time with the concept that if a guy in a police uniform who has a police vehicle shows up I should lock the doors and call 911, but if a guy in a ski mask with an hGH gut appears to be kidnapping my neighbor, I shouldn’t ask who he is if I don’t want federal charges.

Begging people to stop giving Trump the benefit of the doubt for anything— that includes floating explanations for his administration's screw-ups. Trump doesn't formulate master plans. His decision-making is just an unfiltered stream of narcissistic impulses devoid of logic or strategy.

After J6, Democrats should have done a boycott on cooperation with Republicans. They can still do it now in response to the fascist crackdowns. No cosponsoring legislation, no procedural votes, no unanimous consent agreements, every minority input at hearings is about getting ICE off our streets.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

Protesters Urged Not To Give Trump Administration Pretext For What It Already Doing

A herring is a fish. When a herring is preserved by salting and smoking, it turns red and smells. It's so pungent that it's a great diversion to distract hunting dogs from their trail. Now, a ‘red herring’ refers to anything that diverts attention from the issue at hand.

It seems obvious that Trump and his goons would not be taking such outrageous steps on so many levels if they expected to ever face consequences. Waiting for an election to fix this is not going to work. Trump will either cancel elections or set them up so that he cannot lose.

A reason im not moved by the “don’t give the trump administration the pretext they’re looking for” is that we would not dare say that about any anti-authoritarian protest movement in literally any other country

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

Are we clear now a private businessman shouldn’t be in a position to control the space program—that this richest man in the world fueled by drugs, ego & hate shouldn’t be partnering with a malignant sociopath in the WH immunized by the SCOTUS & bent on pocketing billions & flouting the Constitution?

I forget who I first saw name the problem, but New York City is a place where Republican constituencies—bosses, landlords, developers, financiers—pursue their right-wing self-interest within the Democratic Party, and often even think of themselves as "liberals," and that's who Cuomo services

Besides who wins the GP or qualifies first, I think the real competition in F1 is who is a worse commentator, Nico Rosberg or Danica Patrick. JFC Rosberg is awful. Then they have Danica on a different race and she regains the lead. Neck and neck battle of inconsistent observations. #f1

I miss journalists, Trump staged an assassination attempt that a five year-old could figure out was fake and NYT’s thinks we need Ezra Klein interviewing Jake Tapper. The failure of MSM wasn’t in covering Biden’s age it was in ignoring Trump’s crimes for the last forty years.

I will go to my GRAVE screaming that mainstream media pushing this “Trump supporters regret their vote” narrative is to redeem white racists in the eyes of the public and keep the masses from rioting as people are deprived of food, healthcare, and human dignity. It’s to evoke pity & mercy.

While you were sleeping, House Republicans rammed through a bill that kills rooftop solar, clean manufacturing, heat pumps for everyday Americans, clean energy projects, and funding to cut pollution. Now it's up to the Senate to stop this bill from jacking up energy bills and torching the economy.

Jus soli citizenship is one of the few inherently good things about the United States. Giving even a rhetorical inch on in it is a nightmare. It is the great leveler, an inherently democratic mechanism. Everyone born here is the same no matter who their daddy is. Despotically unamerican to end it.
