"The strategic ambiguity about whether or not we live in an autocracy is designed to preserve maximum maneuverability for the regime until such time as they have full control and no longer need to maneuver."

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said he will continue to revoke visas for “people that are supportive of movements that run counter to the foreign policy of the United States.” This is new. And it doesn’t feel like freedom

Hell yeah…

Danish warships now patrolling Greenland to protect against a Trump led US invasion. #StandWithGreenland

Finally some leadership

I feel like this tweet did not get enough attention this week

WE HAVE POWER This was a hell of a moment to witness. You could see the shift—the moment this constituent realized her voice had power. She spoke louder, stood taller, and owned that room. 🔥 Republican Rep Victoria Spartz’s SignalGate response did not land well with the crowd.

Our response to the U.S. tariffs is to fight, protect, and to build. That means building the infrastructure to help diversify our trade partners, create good jobs, and grow our economy.

People are taking things into their own hands

Uh guys? NBC just found out a DHS staffer accidentally added a journalist to an email thread about an ICE raid in Denver. Yeah, a completely separate incident. THAT staffer is being punished — so why aren’t Hegseth & Waltz???

JD Vance and Usha Vance have landed in Greenland. Who are they waving to? Reporters? Nobody wants them there. How embarrassing.

RFK is a eugenics freak first and foremost and everything falls downstream from that. he *wants* excess deaths. he thinks that only the "fit" should survive.

Will they though? abcnews.go.com/US/judge-hol...

Remember the 90s when everybody only hurt sometimes.

Of course they are.

This guy is in one of the worst prisons in the world with no way out and may spend the rest of his life there because, it appears, he has an autism awareness tattoo in honor of his little brother. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The founder of Signal releases a response to SignalGate: “There are so many great reasons to be on Signal. Now including the opportunity for the vice president of the United States of America to randomly add you to a group chat for coordination of sensitive military operations.”

Ossoff: He’s so consumed by his efforts to secure revenge, crush his enemies, and conquer Greenland that he’s doing nothing for the people who elected him. His entire domestic agenda is tax breaks for the wealthy, rounding up immigrants, revenge, and centralizing as much power as he can..

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

Elbows up!!

Sanders: I'm not a mathematician but I do know that 99% is a hell of a lot bigger number than 1%. I do know that if we stand together, we are the vast majority of people. We can defeat trumpism

Pritzker: The question I ask is: if you’re willing to hand the keys to Europe over to Putin, what’s next? How does the US retain its leadership in the world when he’s essentially retreating to our own borders? He’s even made enemies of the Canadians—I can’t imagine anything more telling than that.

To everyone who is staying in this fight and not giving up despite a temporary void in leadership and inspiration: THANK YOU, HOLD HANDS AND STICK TOGETHER while we fine tune this new resistance machine. You are not alone and we CAN DO THIS. ❤️

Something special is happening! Bless these people!

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado. 11,000 people showed up. Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

This means we are in a constitutional crisis: “Trump admin says it is not complying with S.F. judge’s order to return workers to their jobs” www.sfchronicle.com/politics/art...

“The oppressor never sees himself as the villain—he cloaks his hatred in law, his greed in policy, and his cruelty in ‘order.’ And when the oppressed dare to resist, he calls them the problem.” ©️MustafaSantiagoAli Do you agree??? #ProudBlue #DemVoice1 #ResistanceUnited #BlackSky #Resister

Real normal. #cdnpoli www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Wondering why you're not seeing the American people's rising up across the country? Because suppression of information is what the 5 dictators across the world want. We're here. We're getting loud. We're getting rowdy. We're not backing down.🇺🇸🏴‍☠️ #SheShed #Voices4Victory #DemocracyWarriors

America is underreacting

Can’t emphasize this enough: if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the debased assault on our country, the antidote is connecting with other people in the flesh who are feeling the same way. There are millions of us.

The Senate will vote Friday on a GOP spending bill. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., says he will vote to support the bill to avert a government shutdown. Hear the latest developments. www.npr.org/2025/03/14/n...

HAYES: There's an unconstitutional assault on the government right now SCHUMER: There is, absolutely HAYES: But they say you're not fighting! SCHUMER: They're already doing it without this CR

You're being criticized because you are advocating doing something that is absolutely, breathtakingly, STUPID. Shut this government down. Trump already caused damage to the country and it will only get worse. NO DEMOCRAT SHOULD VOTE FOR THIS ABOMINATION. NOT ONE. youtube.com/watch?v=SJDH...

It's not hard. This is unacceptable. They won't stop at him.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Is it safe to assume that Russia itself now has access to computers inside the US Treasury, IRS, FAA, FBI, CIA, etc.?

New emergency legislation introduced by Rep. Seth Magaziner (D-RI) to "prohibit funds for the Armed Forces to engage in operations to invade or seize territory from Canada, the Republic of Panama, or the self-governing territory of Greenland" www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...
