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.

I just drove by a big LAPD staging area with lots of SUVs on the 110 north on ramp from grand. Be aware.

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

Alright, if the Foot Clan shows up to a protest, you can tell them off

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

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

Just bring more flags to protests. Flags are nice!

I encourage people who hold the overall correct view that protests have better optics when the protesters are carrying American flags to Be The Change and bring big American flags to protests themselves.

It's hard to overstate how destructive the reflexive "this is a distraction!" stuff that politicians and commentators and people are always peddling. Everything is happening all at once. That's how authoritarianism works. If you can't navigate and synthesize this, you're not meeting the moment.

They simply wanted the president to push the imaginary button that makes the imaginary criminal invasion go away with no consequences for anyone but the imaginary criminals.

I think the better approach here is to just bring more American flags rather than tut tut people for bringing Mexican flags. But yes, I would agree it’s critical, as we continue to brush up against The Cool Zone™️ or whatever that people get a visual of as many American flags as we can carry.
