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

Reminder: More than 70% of Israelis want Netanyahu to resign and his coalition has polled terribly since before October 7, which is why he will do everything possible to avoid facing the voters. He knows that if he does, he probably loses.

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.

They want us to behave like they did on January 6th. But we remember the footage. We remember the violence. And we know exactly who’s responsible, for then and for now: Donald Trump.

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.

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.

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