Tribalism only works when everyone is tribal. But one tribe cannot defeat a coalition of people who unite over transcendent principles rather than identity. It’s the Trumpists’ kryptonite. (And we can go back to arguing/debating with each other about things once we are through this) - ThreadSky

“We will not comply. Mahmoud, we are on your side!” hundreds of Jews and allies chant inside Trump Tower in midtown Manhattan in protest against the ICE detention of Mahmoud Khalil.

Beautiful. Reminds me of this equally beautiful image.

Asha is really smart.

This is the key to defeating Elonald. In this instance both Palestinians and Jews are coming together in a show of unity as Americans.

We need Independents/Democrats and old school Republicans to lock arms and force the elimination of MAGA and Project 2025 for good.

I wonder how long before they start shooting protesters.

I'm wondering if he'll decide this is enough to deploy the insurrection act...

I love these people so much!! 😭😭🇺🇸 reminds me of me in 1991 when we marched on Washington carrying signs that said “lick Bush in ‘92!”

I identify as human. The biggest tribe on earth. I hate it when my fellow tribesmen embarrass me.

Time for our tribe to rebel…

I never want to see those goddamn golden escalators again. 😤😤

oldbrownshoe.bsky.social•10 days ago

Well, what if it was transporting a golden casket?

Asking for a friend….

elap.bsky.social•10 days ago

I’ll make an exception for that. (And you know he’d demand his coffin be gold just like his toilet)

Which was what was needed to win the election, instead of the infighting, I have to say.

This is how you use your freedom while you still have it. We got to remember they can't arrest all of us.

stevennicholson.bsky.social•10 days ago

History isn't on your side with that view.

Look at Chile, 1973.

scottmcara.bsky.social•10 days ago

This truly brings me hope. It got me pretty emotional. Don't know why.

To oppose mass killing is not antisemitism.

jookymakeyoukooky.bsky.social•10 days ago

I hope this spirit of resistance catches fire.

This heartens me. I STRONGLY feel this is out there "in" us. I think in many ways there needs to be a significant shock to wake people from their smart phone and binge-watching distractions to recognize the shared threat.

Mahmoud is a deplorable human being. But this is democracy’s moment. And fascism picked the wrong fight.

2theinfinitepower.bsky.social•10 days ago

this is the way and the best way i have heard it put. a greater good.

We may be witnessing the most unifying individual force created in human history.

The world is unifying against the chainsaw broligarchy.

The craven destruction is terrifying, but the unity building is beautiful and a thing to behold.

Stop the Tesla Chainsaw Massacre!

poolsidelounger.bsky.social•10 days ago

This is heartening to see. It's good to see people come together to stop this madness.

murdochargh.bsky.social•10 days ago

There should only be one goal right now. One fight.

Pay attention to Project Esther by the Heritage Foundation! The whole dystopian plan is laid out.

When we feel attacked, we become more tribal in defense. That's why authoritarians create false threats, so voters will be drawn to a strongman to protect them.
Now I feel threatened by the actions of Trump and Musk, and want a strong leader to defend our values, not cautious Senate politicians.

dwightmc.bsky.social•10 days ago

So how do we unite our fractious center-left coalition? We need unity and forceful action when under attack. We don't have time for negotiation.
