Cut your NYT subscription: it's fairly obvious that there's an entire class of elites convinced that their job is to attack liberals when democracy is being destroyed

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.

There is a monument in downtown Syracuse commemorating the “Jerry Rescue,” when NYers, disgusted by the 1850 Fugitve Slave Act, rose up to fight off the slave catchers. It commemorates courage and heroism. Make sure you are on the side of what is just and right. Your protests are patriotic.

You know, I try to stay away from this kind of analysis but in this case I think that this is a clear case of the powerful seeing a center-left alliance against their candidate growing and freaking out about it.

My strong instinct is that Trump's threats against Americans' first amendment right to peaceably assemble is going to massively juice attendance at Saturday's protests. www.nokings.org

Save these for your panicky friends and family members. I’ve had adult men come to the verge of tearfully screaming in my face denying this could be true.

I am pretty firmly in the center-left camp of America and WAY to the right of Bluesky and I would vote Zohran in a heartbeat over Cuomo. It’s not even close. Cuomo is worse than even Eric Adams is.

Or even American flag variants! I’m partial to the 34 star version from 1861 to 1863.

Yeah people should fly U.S. flags because I think it's strategically smart. There's not a single problem with also flying Mexican flags.

Alright, we got half and half flags out here, and they look good, so let’s all agree that today’s Discourse is sorted, eh

It would be great if the broad left didn’t get itself a reputation of needing to jump in with a “well actually” every time someone on their side said something good or aspirational about America. It often comes from a sympathetic place but it feels like poison to persuasion.

i personally do not think the administration is actually prepared for what happens if they are facing mass protests in every major city in the country

Can anything divide bluesky as much as our shared contempt for this administration's actions?

Since he raised it yesterday, I’m curious to see if @gravitysra1nbow.bsky.social knows whether this is still the “hurry up and wait” phase or whether they actually will be on the streets soon

I am not kidding, the protestors should should show up with sleeping bags and pillows for these guys.

Yeah, I may be at the point where middle age means everything just aches, but it’s also a time where I can enjoy the simple pleasures of watching a red-winged blackbird try and fuck up a starling at the bird feeder

Did you know that if you post on Bluesky you don't see any Republican talking points when you're not on the website?

Dems need to take back patriotism and it means using the symbols thereof.

If someone like Frederick Douglass could do it, so can you

Just bring more flags to protests. Flags are nice!
