1/ RW media is NOT being silenced. They’ve built a propaganda empire & shield it with lies about victimhood. While we argue about messaging, they dominate every channel. This thread breaks it down. Read it, share it, never fall for the con again. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

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.

I suppose all this tripe about Biden's age might be important to know, but it belongs on the History Channel. It's not news. You know what's news? The president deploying the military against US citizens. The Billionaire Bailout Bill. DOGE getting access to our private data. THAT is news.

So it begins. Discussions are underway within the administration, and Pentagon, about deploying National Guard or active-duty troops to cities beyond Los Angeles. We’ll be sending updated guidance to all coalition members. Please follow every step, even if some sections seem irrelevant right now.

Why is ICE arresting employees but not employers? DOJ policy is to charge the most culpable people. The employers would seem to qualify.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

If you live in LA, please post videos and photos of reality as much as you can because the Fox News Cinematic Universe is working hard to sell this dystopian fiction.

Corporate media should be sharing images of the thousands and thousands of peaceful protestors - not the one guy who is probs a boogaloo boy in disguise throwing a stick at a cop with a machine gun. Show the world the United States is protesting!!

King Trump has now sent to a few street corners in Los Angeles more than half the number of Guardsmen he sent to _the entire Southern border_. He has gone insane and is desperate to invoke martial law. And Noem has made clear the Marines in LA are indeed there to execute illegal police functions.

You know, it would be a good day for some patriotic anonymous government worker who's likely to get fired anyway to release those unredacted Epstein files.

We see what they’re doing. They’re baiting us, trying to provoke violence to justify a crackdown. Don’t give them the footage they want. Every broken window becomes propaganda in their hands. Stay sharp. Stay united. We’re here to fight for justice, not feed their narrative.

Marine veterans are speaking out against the troop deployment in Los Angeles. Across the country, they’re taking down their American flags that have flown in front of their homes for years. Remember, we have friends everywhere.

I don’t think people should engage in violence and vandalism and I don’t think federal agents should provoke people to engage in violence and vandalism. Too many law enforcement officers sworn to protect and serve now look and act like they are in Fallujah.

Wow. What a sign that criminal case against Abrego Garcia may be politically cooked up. "Schrader’s resignation was prompted by concerns that the case was being pursued for political reasons" Schrader spent 15 years in the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Nashville and was chief of the criminal division

Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio tried to give a press conference to announce his lawsuit against DOJ. Much to my surprise it turned out to be the greatest press conference of all-time.

My latest: Jasmine Crockett is clear choice to lead Oversight Dems I told you I wouldn’t pick sides in this race because I don’t have a vote. Then I realized it’s up to all of us to make sure our party gets this one right. 3,421 words. Please consider reading and passing this along!

Guys, it's the oligarchs. If you want to blame someone for 2024, blame the oligarchs. Anyone telling you to blame someone else is part of the oligarchy. Dark money has been to blame since citizens united.

Very courageous for the Chair of the House Freedom Caucus Andy Harris to vote “present” on the budget. He took a strong and principled stand to do nothing, and refused to waiver from his firm commitment to do nothing.

if dems want messaging help, stop telling people you're "fighting back." it sounds like you're being mugged. call off the podcaster search, take your ridiculous money pile and try opening some food banks and free clinics. hurricanes are coming and the feds have no plan. looks like an opening to me.

Crockett: Right now, it seems like you don’t care about the constitution unless it’s the second amendment and that’s misinterpreted as well. There’s other amendments.. And we don’t get to just change it because our fearless leader says that he doesn’t like it

Essay: Engineers are primarily — if not solely — trained to view challenges through a limited, technical lens, writes college student Isaac Walker. We don’t ask whether the problem needs solving or worry about the downstream effects of our solution. That's why DOGE scares me.

McGovern: "This is not a governing philosophy. It is a scam. I wasn't sent here to vote for trash. I can't understand why you'd choose a career of public service to do this -- to rip away the healthcare & food assistance of working & middle class Americans. Is that really what you came here to do?"

MURPHY: The president has offered access to him at a dinner Thursday to the 200 top purchasers of his memecoin. Half or more of those who will be meeting w/ him are foreigners. Do you have a list? RUBIO: I didn't even know there was a dinner Thursday night, so I don't know what you're referring to.

I keep having to restate to comrades that Tru*p is broadly unpopular and that this is an ACTUAL opportunity. Even some organizers seem to be convinced that this guy is more popular than he is. His fans are not THE COUNTRY. Stop being propagandized by the terrible US mainstream media.

Just a perfect sign of Schumer's incompetence. As the OP notes, there's no need to do this. The law is already on Democrats' side. And when this bill inevitably fails in a GOP-led Congress, it will then seem to many like the Qatari gift is perfectly legal. Congress didn't outlaw it, right?
