This guy literally wants to murder leftists and POC and he is touring with the Secretary of Defense. Very scary.

Sadly one just closed in Brooklyn about a month ago because the landlord raised the rent/wanted to sell the building

It’s never too late, but I wonder why the states couldn’t prove imminent harm from what’s already happened

I am also concerned about the daily functioning of this country, which still depends on the Postal Service

Possibly the DC bar for attorney discipline or, for some cases that get appealed, it could possibly be brought to a federal appellate court

I wish you had spoken up about Gaza during the election. It really could have helped.

He’s so mad, though, he’s not even enjoying the benefit of ignorant bliss that could come with that level of stupidity

I’ll add that Republicans have made immigrants a scapegoat for inequality. We need to refocus the message on the billionaires. Thank you for engaging on this

Democrats who support the Laken Riley Act and similar legislation are enabling Trump’s mass deportations. We need to push back hard against any demonization of immigrants of any status. Why isn’t Democratic leadership trying to stop this legislation now? We need a response that affirms humanity

If you ever believed Trump is a populist—in anything other than some of his rhetoric—you’ve been conned by him

Anthony Bourdain if he were a stupid narcissist who can’t get beyond class-based guilt after working in finance, so he wants to cosplay working class and project that guilt onto people who work in politics and media

In this moment, it’s important to invite people in to organizing, resistance, etc. But how will we have the conversations about how we only got to this point because of problems that have been building for a long time? Maybe we need organized political education

Not to mention, I think that thousands of students being arrested for protesting a genocide is a sign of a nation in decline too…

Can Dems corral their own? Dem leadership just let a significant percentage of their caucus vote for the Laken Riley Act, a cruel mass deportation tool that gave Trump a major legislative victory in his first days

These people are deeply sick and imposing their sickness on the rest of us. They want other people to suffer and die for their stupid, cruel and wrong ideas about the world

100%. If people are giving their time, they should be welcomed and thanked. They should be given a reason to come back, meaning that they should feel good, valued, and valuable while they’re giving their time. You can’t ask for something from people and then drain their energy.

This better not be a stunt. Hold things up indefinitely, until Musk is out of there, at the very least

But Joe Biden’s preservation of the norms is why Trump, following in the footsteps of his role model Joe Biden, has listened to his better angels and…oh wait…

Politicians had a role, but it didn’t come from Democratic leadership. When people on the ground contacted their local, state and federal reps because critical resources couldn’t be accessed, that had an impact, from what it looks like

Generally I think it’s naive/dangerous to demonize China but this is objectively hilarious

Were not making ourselves visible like we did it 2017. It’s superficial but that’s the major difference

They also stopped a lot of bad policies, and pressured Democrats and judges and other people to do what they could to stop Trump. Without the protests, democrats are going along with him complacently

It’s honestly incredible that the Democrats didn’t do this in 2021. Then again, dozens of Democrats are voting for Trump’s immigration policies, they’re just totally hopeless as a party.

Starting to wish I hadn’t undermined democracy by rigging the 2000 election via the Supreme Court then destroyed the credibility of the U.S. government by lying our way into a quasi-genocidal war in Iraq, while cutting taxes on the rich, paving the way for Trump. Oh, that was you!!

This sounds like a “you” problem. On the bright side, you could probably gain a big audience by talking about how you’ve been canceled by the anti-Trump woke mob

What do you mean “literally no opposition?” If you mean none from congressional Democrats and not as much mass protest as 2017, you’re right. But we know about the Newark raid because of the Newark mayor and immigrant advocates. So we can’t say there’s no opposition.

The media failure people are talking about is that the mainstream media backed off and believed it/quoted it when Trump said “it wasn’t me,” once he saw Project 2025 was unpopular

On the one hand, the lives of millions could be ruined and the constitutional order forged by the blood of Union soldiers and the formerly enslaved could be killed off. On the other hand, my colleague is a nice guy.

Can you really write off eugenics without first studying it? Can you write of monarchism without studying it? Can you write off slavery without studying it? Torture? Race science? Yes, you can and should, even though they all have articles supporting them. The judge was right.

Same as any other conservative who wants harsh rules and punishment for those other people, not for the good people like himself and his friends
