Another good reminder from today is that to win this we all need to get used to cooperating with people we sometimes find highly annoying

I will hold the line on this. Right-wing violence has far more support, materially, institutionally and ideologically, in the U.S. than left-wing violence. There is no both-sidesing it.

Spread it far and wide. The violence and the fear and the rioting at these protests are started and perpetuated by the police. Always.

Looking at these pathetic-ass photos and videos just begs the question...HOW TF DID HE WIN...but the answer isn't some conspiracy theory...he won due to voter apathy, ignorance, and disinformation. He's not magic. If we change up the media environment, if we change up the messaging, we can win.

Yet again, it needs to be stated that the Anti-Abortion movement is one of the most un-Christlike and Un-American groups in existence. They live in a self-reinforcing bubble of hatred and evil, and they have no value in this country or this world.

A lot of people are cringe and the most "edgy" political thing they've encountered is Hamilton and you're just going to have to live with that and be glad they're not at home OD'ing on white nationalist propaganda. They will be cringe and you can be like, jesus christ that's cringe. It's all fine.

every protest I've ever been to(and I've been to a lot) was like 95% normies, don't let the cosplayers on the internet fool you, the people out there are the ones who drive change, not the ones serialposting about how wrongly they're doing it

No one is in danger from undocumented immigrants. EVERYONE is endangered by the fascist Right in this country and that means the GOP.

the rational assumption for most people at this point on seeing agents of the state is that there’s a good chance they’re going to kidnap or murder you, whether they’re real agents or fake ones this is America

Oh, you're doomscrolling current events? That's baby shit. I'm doomscrolling the events of 536. A volcano just erupted in Iceland. Snow just fell during the summer in China. Crops are failing. All of the crops are failing.

I was taking a walk in Alameda, CA in 2007 and Delroy Lindo pulled up asking for directions to the Altarena Playhouse and I unintentionally sent him the wrong way because I suck with directions.

It's not a stretch to state that enmeshed within the ideology of Republicans, far-right groups, and Evangelical Christianity is the repeated molestation and abuse of children. It's layered into the very marrow of their belief systems.

The danger of the kind of escalation spiral we are in is starting to show its full face in that it’s not just the federal government. the parallel rightwing system that has been set up within law-enforcement is absolutely a paramilitary fascist force that will use violence to back federal actions.

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state Keep that same energy of support for her

That's it. We have now crossed the line, the point of no return, the Rubicon. We're talking at least thirty hours of speech-making, followed by a rigorous book tour. The moment demands nothing less.

Alex Padilla is an American citizen of Mexican descent. The video of a Mexican-American being manhandled by thugs will play extremely well with the sort of trash who support Trump. Decent people are outraged. Shitty people with shitty values from a shitty culture are thrilled.

whining about how the protestors need to mind their manners sure looks fucking stupid now

This is insane and also I hope that seeing a US fucking senator thrown to the ground and cuffed for asking a question will help some of the people who still aren’t getting it to recognize that THE POLICE ARE THE SOURCE OF THE VIOLENCE

The sole criteria I will be voting on in the 2028 primary is which candidate credibly promises to put the largest number of Trump officials in prison. I do not care about any of their other policies.

I was a medic at the Santa Ana protests in OC today. I watched police fire tear gas, flash bangs, & rubber bullets into crowds of men, women, & children. Other medics and I were clearly marked with red crosses, and the police were targeting us. One of the most fucked up things I’ve ever seen.

it is sort of funny that trumpism is the exact system they were trying to avoid and yet none of their institutional fixes to prevent this worked time to think about this
