Trump’s attempts to dehumanize large segments of the American people in order to use military force against them fits the classic definition of “tyranny,” and right wing rhetoric using the phrase “third world” to justify it is no accident (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Yes. Similarly, Elizabeth Warren staffers in 2021 getting a few jobs that would have normally went to ex-Obama/Clinton aides and Nikole Hannah-Jones and Ta-Nehisi Coates getting more acclaim than their white counterparts for a few years caused elite panics and endless "wokeness" pieces.

10 years of obsession about what Trump supporters think & care about has warped our understanding of their size & popularity: Trump is historically unpopular, pro-democracy supporters far outnumber the object of Corporate Media’s love. Time to hear more from majority of US.

It’s great seeing folks want to do something. But, I’ve seen a lot of calls to start groups/initiatives. My one bit of advice is to not start anything until you see what your community is already doing. Often, groups already exist with years of infrastructure. Could collaboration be a better option?

I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.

A reminder to reporters, when historians look back on this moment with the president throwing himself a military parade and the people throwing No Kings rallies across America, the media sources raving about the former and sneering at the latter are going to be quoted by name. This is your legacy!

The administration's criminalization of Dem politicians for being Dem politicians is designed to produce exactly this outcome. Their celebration & pardon of white vigilantes is designed to produce exactly this outcome.

What happened yesterday was part of a much bigger effort to try and silence anyone who dares to question what the Trump administration is doing. But we will not be intimidated and we will not be deterred. We must hold this administration accountable.

Stop saying things are a "distraction." None of it is a distraction. It's all pieces of the whole. Just because the fascists go after something you care less about than someone else might doesn't mean it's simply an attention-diverting tactic. It's all important.

If this is how this administration responds to a Senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, to cooks, and to day laborers throughout California and across the country. We will hold this administration accountable.

SEN. PADILLA: “Saying I lunged is a lie, but that’s par for the course for this administration… I was behind the cameras listening, and at a certain point hearing Noem say they had to rescue LA from the Governor and Mayor was too much to take. So I raise my voice to ask a question.”

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

Possible to start to tell a unified story: "Trump is personally too old, crazy, and confused to run things, so at any given time the question is which co-president is in charge. At first it was Musk, & we got the crazy chaotic DOGE era. Then Navarro: a trade war that crashed markets. Now Miller..."

A U.S. Senator was forcibly removed, handcuffed, and detained for asking questions…at a government press conference. This is authoritarianism – unacceptable in a real democracy. Every member of Congress should be condemning the Trump Regime’s alarming overreach.

This is what Trump's government thugs are willing to do in broad daylight, to a US Senator, with cameras on. They are sending the message that anyone who disagrees with Trump isn't safe in America. This is authoritarianism.
