FFS sake the Democrats have been decrying violence like the Four Horsemen are coming

Among other things, yes. Like what Newsom is doing for California right now. Trump and his Project 2025 cohort have built and now run a media machine. We need a narrative war, as I heard someone on Instagram say.

You are my hero. If George Washington had agreed to become king, I'd be a duchess (seriously, Dames of Cincinnatus). You are my American hero. Thank you for speaking up.

It isn’t just the Democrats, there is something in the culture of this site that results in elected Democratic Members of Congress who get in ICE’s face in person in LA and take part in the demonstrations there getting 50 reposts while David’s utter nonsense gets thousands bsky.app/profile/gome...

From now on, you could just say, "Because voting"

Absolutely disgusting

my big point in all of this is not “these things are impossible” but that even the most ambitious authoritarians have to contend with institutional constraints, questionable internal support and loyalty, and the decision-making of ordinary people within and outside the government

You think? I mean, I wouldn't be surprised, but also looks like it was maybe already broken and they are just taking out the windshield?

June 14th will be different. Nationwide protests. Bigger numbers. Let’s make sure they can’t ignore us, and can’t twist the truth.

Additional benefit: we won't have any gardeners. Seriously, before I left Twitter/Elon bought it, a MAGA person said that to me with glee. Can you imagine caring about whether Californians can give landscaping jobs to people or not?

Why anyone who gets rich remains or becomes awful I will never understand. Because it doesn't happen to everyone.

Someone who knows should add the children who were relying on USAID, and the children killed in Gaza after Trump said he'd end that conflict.

Just as long as the ship wasn't the one in the preposterous and addictive TV series, Doctor Odyssey

We are living in scary and uncomfortable times as the pace of change speeds up under the motivations of the worst people alive, and it is very tempting to argue over our own righteousness (speaking from experience), but sometimes we should focus on the results we want and work from there.

Why did they leave their cars there? Dumbest thing I've seen in ages.

This cars under an underpass thing is the DUMBEST thing ever

Senator Schiff, talk to the press on the ground. Get all the facts. Then speak.
