I get a lot of "oh why are you attacking your allies" on here and I think people are misunderstanding me. My ally right now is Al Green because he's the only member on the record about impeachment and engaging in a good faith discussion about it.

They never "championed" shit. They insisted we had to listen to nazis and confederate losers and bigots calling us slurs to be fair, and now they're kidnapping people at the border or off campusfor not liking the dear leader.

Hey @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, if you want to show some mettle and get past the CR cave I suggest picking a loud public fight with Republicans over impeaching judges for their decisions. Make MAGA Mike hold a vote and derail the Seante with a long trial if it passes.

Going to call for impeachment or are you just going to whine about it?

Seriously what the fuck are they even working on? How is it literally not removing him from office? The thing that any person with a pulse would say is the only rational way to stop the fascist coup?

Ignoring a court order on the grounds that “ah-ah-ah, the law doesn’t apply once you get to international waters!!” is absolutely sanctionable. 8th grade-ass lawyering. Completely unserious.

For all the South gets shit about the failures of reconstruction, the North doesn’t get called out enough on its lack of resolve. They won’t even defend their own backyards. Rural life has been so throughly Confederatized that you’re more likely to see a Confederate flag in rural NY than Atlanta.

One reason this government can so easily frame protesters as terrorists is that others—including some at universities—have already laid the groundwork. When we treat students engaged in constitutionally protected speech like criminals, we make it easier for authoritarian governments to do the same.

And in a final moment of defiance as the ICE agents surrounded me, I opened the ActBlue app and donated my last $5 to the DSCC.

The New York State Democratic Party needs to be torn down and completely rebuilt. I realize it’s weird for a Democrat from Washington State to have a strong opinion about another state’s political party, but New York Dems are dragging the rest of us down with them. Pull out the roots, start over.

How much could you get done if you knew you had FIVE YEARS of job security at your current position and you were making 6 figures and even after that you were guaranteed the best possible resume?

If the party conference caves, I don't care what each individual senator does, unless they're calling to remove Schumer.

Schumer calling the cops on these people instead of agreeing to fight Trump. Sums it all up.

Enough with the staged mass arrests. Our actions and theory must evolve. This is doing nothing for us. We are past the stage of “exposure” & getting attention. If part of the point is to waste state resources & time - why not put the pigs on the run? Make them stage & then move

The lack of fight from Senator Schumer is what the left flank has been warning about for years. We saw this coming because we see the donors these establishment Democrats serve. It’s not just Schumer who would’ve folded.

NOW: Almost 100 people are outside the home of @schumer.senate.gov calling on him to vote NO on cloture and NO on the disastrous Trump-Musk budget

"We must not take any action to influence the course of events now so that we can preserve a hypothetical ability to influence the course of events at some point in the future" is not bad politics because it is not politics at all.

More to the point, it takes one senator to deny unanimous consent for a time agreement. The House Dems, the federal workers, everyone opposed to the Schumer Surrender would be happy to have additional time to gather 41 no votes on final cloture. Any senator can do it.

If you vote for this Republican Funding Bill, you are complicit in all that DOGE, President Elon, and Trump does.

Think about that 60-some-year-old South Korean senator who was literally climbing over walls to vote for impeachment as martial law was imposed in the country and then looking at…. Chuck Schumer.

If I’m thinking thru the senate rules right (by no means certain), I think a single D senator can force the voting that’s starts tomorrow to last into the beginning of next week by refusing unanimous consent. That can slow things down and allow the backlash to expand.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

They are going to vote to advance the bill and then they are going to tell their voters to "fight back" against the additional cuts that their votes have enabled.

Really bracing to see this in my timeline alongside the news that Chuck Schumer plans to vote to surrender control of federal spending to Donald Trump and Elon Musk because otherwise there'd be a government shutdown

If we can "avoid a government shutdown" by voting for this CR, then why is the entire Department of Education closed today? Why is USAID closed? Why are hundreds of billions in grant contracts frozen? We are already in the shutdown. And your votes DON'T stop it. In fact, they allow it to expand.

So to recap: it’s illegal to protest genocide. It’s illegal to leave a protest against genocide. It’s illegal to be near a protest against genocide. It’s illegal to appear to support Palestinian right to life. It’s illegal to go to college. It’s illegal to be.

Newsom is an awful man without a single principled bone in his body but I am actually genuinely shocked by how terrible his political instincts are in this moment the base is screaming for someone to stand up to this fascist kleptocracy and he thinks they want him to pal around with the fascists
