some helpful reminders: -not all jews support israel -criticizing israel is not the same as being antisemitic -being pro-palestine does not equal being pro-hamas -arresting someone for being pro-palestine is a violation of the first amendment -violating someone’s first amendment rights is bad

Critical messaging for Dems if they're being forced into a shutdown. Undo the cuts to Social Security, VA health care, cancer care research. Put the DOGE boys into a boxes w chaperones if the Republican want help. NEED TO BE CRYSTAL CLEAR about what's at stake immediately in peoples lives.

one of the reasons why South Koreans were able to mobilize rapidly to save democracy against Yoon's coup, and were able to stay on the streets for weeks to prevent Park's coup, was because protesting there is super-organized and regular

Quick check to see who our allies are now: if 9/11 happened today, who would actually help us find who did it? Canada? No. The EU? No. We are alone except for Israel and maybe Russia, which is too preoccupied to help, and whose “help” would be bad. We are so incredibly unsafe and effectively fucked.

The origins of the National Center for Education Statistics go back to 1867. Their reporting started in 1870. From 1918 to 1958 they published surveys every two years. Since 1962 they’ve put out the indispensable Digest of Education Statistics. It employs fewer than 100 people.

backing off "they're weird" was an incredible mistake. Musk is just weird. He's a weird weirdo billionaire weirdly obsessed with ruining normal people's lives. this is not a complicated message.

It’s amazing to find out at this late date how much the rule of law depended on people simply deciding, on a voluntary, daily basis, not to break the law.

Here's an example just from today of how closely Elon Musk is aligned to ideas propagated by Nazi legal theorist Carl Schmitt. Musk says that people vote for elected representatives who "decide their will." Nothing else matters. (no courts, no bureaucracy) Schmitt says...exactly the same thing.

Christians used to teach that "bearing false witness" was sinful, and that Satan is the "father of lies." Now, retribution and lying to get people's attention is considered virtuous.

Donald Trump doesn't give two fucks about norms. Neither should Democrats. We need a leader, we need coordination, we need to fight back. But most of all, we need to stop listening to consultants from 1992. thehill.com/homenews/hou...

This is literally the problem: We NEED to be rude. We need emotion. These fuckers are destroying democracy & hurting people; our elected Democrats should be pissed. When they're not, they're essentially gaslighting the rest of us. www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

Seventeen Democrats - all of whom claim to represent the working class and oppose an oligarchic autocracy - voted in favor of Donald Trump’s anti-labor Secretary of Labor. The party is broken and must be rebuilt.

Still underrated how insane musk is, like all day and night- from the WH- he posts stuff like "you're a traitor" at mark kelly or "be quiet small man" at the polish foreign minister or "you are committing a crime" at anyone he doesn't like and the media calls it "sparring." No, the dude is nuts!

Look, folks, this is it. The entire ballgame. Either we're a Republic of laws & the Constitution, or we have a dictator. This is fascism, & the impeachment vote should be happening today. Every single university president in the country should be out, in front of microphones, condemning this.

This is a first. Today, the most powerful man in the White House is saying OUT LOUD he wants to "ELIMINATE" Social Security and Medicare. Eliminate. Not "cut," not "reduce." Not even raise the retirement age. ELIMINATE. Sit on that for a minute. This is your money.

The dimwit @marcorubio shouldn’t be entrusted with a bottle of milk, much less have a platform for the felon trump and the russian regime he represents. What a fucking uneducated moron. He should stick to masquerading as a religious nutter.

I’m sure Trump will condemn this publicly in the strongest possible terms, and demand that Putin stop the senseless killing and indiscriminate bombing by Russians of civilian targets.
