Look, you can't expect the President of the United States to speak for the government. Also he's a unitary executive who can dictate all government operations at his whim. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Remember when opponents of the 2015 nuclear deal used to say that "it's this deal or war" was a "false choice?"

This will have a profound impact on our national security. A very negative impact.

You have to add up all the red bars and stack them on top of each other to pay for the green bar.

Trump says something like "no, I don't like project 2025" and every conservative knows he's lying for the campaign. Leftists need to learn how politics works.

Popular politics cannot be "cool" because "cool" is a status conferred by being in the knowing minority The search for "cool" popular politics will always drive wedges

Newsom on Trump: "He's lost it. He hasn't lost a step. And I saw him trip on the steps today. This is serious. He is not the same person that I dealt with just four years ago. And he's incapable now of even a train of thought. He's making things up and he's putting people's lives at risk."

You can't liberate Americans from their democratically-elected leaders. You can use those words, but they don't describe the reality of what you're doing.

Padilla: If this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California.

There is no universe in which it is acceptable for a Secretary of DHS to say anything like this. Kristi Noem must resign immediately. Or be impeached.

“ICE” as snatching people from churches now. Never forget they said this👇🏾 MAN AT CHURCH: “We don’t want this in our property.” ICE: “The whole country is our property.” No IDs shown, non-government out of state plates, basic tactical vests that just say police. Who are these men?

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.

This is why I keep argue, at every possible point, that Trump is failing. Not to create a sense of complacency, but to show people that resistance to authoritarianism is working

Oh man, this is nuts reporting. “Federal agents came to suspect that Bukele…had diverted U.S. aid funds to the gang as part of the alleged deal to provide it with money and power in exchange for votes…”

It’s completely insane that the media pretends every random protester or activist in America speaks for the Democratic Party, but Trump’s agencies can directly quote white supremacist accounts on Twitter and the same media won’t link these people to Trump

It’s completely insane that US troops are illegally deployed to suppress domestic opposition and it’s not uniformly condemned by the press and political elite.

Don’t you feel encouraged to see that people are acting? And by how many of us there are who are inspired to resist? The scary authoritarian response is to be expected. That’s because they are this scared of us.

I block people for bothsiderism. Your insistence that your bothsiderism is from the left makes no difference at all to its effect.
