I'm old enough to remember the conservative meltdown when the IRS had a list of PAC name adjectives they should be on the lookout for that might be circumventing election law.
Not the most salient point here, but I'm a bit curious about who these two people are, how they know about the group's inner workings without being, y'know, *in the group,* helping to do its sinister work
Was there some office announcement where the group leader told everyone else, "if you're looking for us, we're just going to be in there, plotting the demise of the Democratic party. Let me tell you how."?
People claiming we can save America from authoritarianism ny retaking Congress in 2026 elections are dangerous.
We likely have just weeks to stop the backsliding to avoid falling off the cliff.
During our winter vacation at a resort in the Bahamas, Ivanka Trump revealed she's deeply concerned, but reassured me her father will do the right thing
They’ve spent the last 40 years punching left. They have no fucking clue how to fight the right, and no desire. It would piss off their Wall Street handlers.
As noted, all this has been hiding in plain sight for decades and truly both sides do it. Am I really supposed to grab my pitchfork to protect George Clooney?
Yes, but I'm convinced the greed of Wall Street can save us.
Eventually, business leaders will figure out that abandonment of the law means that Trump-connected oligarchs can annex businesses at their whim ala Russia in the 90s.
THAT is what is going to be determinative factor in Trump's downfall.
Why wouldn’t they just assume they’ll be one of the lucky ones who get picked? They have been their whole lives and are probably more primed to believe that than anything imho.
It's not IF or WHEN, what anti-Trumps were expecting HAS happened.Wake-up America!These are not "business as usual" times. This is not a drill! You're in a dictorship! Maria Rezza, Nobel Peace Prize recipient, journalist & professor explains how a dictatorship begins, manifests & how you fight back.
It is.
And when first the Dems came for blacklisting anyone who went with a primary against sitting elected Dems. Or maybe when they went with removing Federal aid to students protesting Israel.
The tree of liberty has been under assault by both parties.
We need a new alliance that isn't for this.
But you would get no independent cation if that from reading this New York Times story. They describe as breaking norms and the treat all the Republican attacks as serious allegations. More shameful reporting.
This is Unfnbelievable!!! 🤬🤬🤬 He needs to be impeached for all the shit he’s doing before it’s too damn late!! He can’t possibly have this much power!! Where are the checks and balances we’ve had for centuries?!? How is this happening?!? I’m so sick of daily destruction of our country!!!🤬🤬🤬
Please add alt-text when sharing images, so that blind and low-vision people aren't excluded from the conversation. Some context and copy/paste or a brief description are often enough. Checking the "reminder to add alt-text" box in your accessibility settings helps a lot.
Erdogan just last night. Arrested his closest political opponent, the one person who is likely to prove a serious threat to him at the next Presidential election.
It's not '''how democracies die'' or else so many of us would not have spent a LOT of time exposing the funding of right-wing groups. I don't know what liberals are thinking if they are now plan to stop going after the Heritage Foundation and Miriam Adelson. Do you not see how silly this "fear" is?
Of all the sewer creatures that are in this cabal of dunces, Miller is like fucking Rasputin. He’s a self loathing Jew who thinks the nazis will spare him if he cheers them and helps them along enough.
Hell has a special place for him.
Won't get an argument from me about that. I called him the Devil Incarnate the other day. Actually worse than Trump himself. Rasputin in a suit, collar and tie.
I have to believe that eventually there will be some comeuppances for the people responsible for this. Vought, Miller, Ezell, Flynn...the list goes on and on.
In any other functioning democracy, the people behind J6 would've been put against a wall and shot as traitors.
They've all been pardoned.
Investigating the orgs who "power the left" is radically different from investigating the Democratic Party. That the Times conflates the two just underscores the vapidity and uselessness of their reporting.
“if successful, will threaten to hobble Democrats' ability to compete in elections for years to come.”
Or he could just sit back and watch the Dems hobble their own ability to compete in elections. Right @schumer.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov @fetterman.senate.gov ?
Can you even imagine the screaming that would have happened if President Harris would have done 1% of this.
They ny times is leading with such a weak headline.
Stephen Miller and Musk are the prime movers.. The issue is there are many schisms in the Trump coalition and he does not have the brute force he used to in forcing them to get along. Musk is suddenly interested in Tesla again, courts are responding. I am pleasantly surprised actually.
Yeah and he's very wrong on it. There are no elected republicans who would stand up to say that Trump's attempts to destroy the democratic party are wrong. Even if it's something they don't agree with, they'll quietly sit back and enjoy the results.
Last night Erdogan arrested his greatest electoral threat and several of his fellow political party associates. He also suspended access to multiple social media sights and banned public protest against the measures.
Where Erdogan and Orban lead, Trump, Miller, and his other lackeys follow. You
And Democrats need to do the same things, within the boundaries the law. We can't allow our NGO's to continually get hammered and have to use resources to defend themselves and just let the other side work unimpeded
Shucks, really? Little old me knew his energies would be on getting revenge.
The NYT didn't bother to clarify it for the American people, so here we are.
He’s already said journalists and news outlets that are anti-him are not acting legally. I won’t be shocked if within months or even weeks, there are hints that the Dems are somehow illegal as well. That first hint towards wiping them out entirely.
Honestly, if this permitted and our country somehow survives long enough to have elections, the next Dem president should turn this around on any law firm that have FedSoc members as partners.
Keep doing it until Congress has the good sense to outlaw it.
Not sure if you've considered using alt text, but it would help a whole lot more people read what you're sharing, and it's pretty easy to add. There are built-in OCR tools for both mobile and desktop for screenshots of text.
One thing that hasn’t been written much about, and I understand why everyone wants to step carefully around it given obvious risks of misrepresentation, is that this focus on antisemitism is also designed to split Democrats from some of their donor pool. Liberal Jewish angel donors are real.

This is much larger and demonstrably worse.

It would suck if so many people went to protest Orange Turd in your turf
Or bring out signs that say "F*ck Trump"
That would just be soooo sad 🤷♀️🚨

and if so
WHY WAS THERE NO HEADLINE IN ALL CAPS TO AT LEAST WARN US OF THE IMPENDING DEATH OF DEMOCRACY??

Thank you.
There will be only “The Party” and we no longer need to differentiate between the fascists and diet fascists.
Only thing that remains to be seen is if the real fighters will ditch DNC first.
NYT, this isn't hard to see.

You would reach more people, when you add a good description into the Alt-text field.
That is pretty easy, especially, when your image just contain text.
This way, you support visually impaired people and everyone else, who rely on a good filled Alt-text.

The left was destroyed by democrats ages ago
There are many former justice folks raising the alarm, but it's not coming from those working in the epicenter.

the republicans are in kahoots in this coup
they are involved in the conspiracy
? you "take" one of ours, we'll "take" one of yours?
Is Democrat "leadership" ready for that level of confrontation?
? can you get out early in front of the propaganda that they used in Europe to "justify" it?
The NYT didn't bother to clarify it for the American people, so here we are.

Team Trump is “aggressively attacking … Democrats’ ability to compete in elections for years to come”. Including baseless attacks that ActBlue supports terrorism, maliciously stripping nonprofit status from them and from legal watchdog CREW, and others.
