substantial part of this problem is that crazy left wing people are weird and interesting and crazy right wing people are mainly just stupid and bigoted “Bedtime is carceral” or “The Jews control the [N-slurs]”: which of these is more fun to dunk on? Is it the same as the one thats actually worse?

I've noted some of the procedural things Democrats could be doing in Congress, but this point from @edgeofsports.bsky.social's great piece in the Nation deserves emphasis. This is basic politics, and it's baffling that every Democrat isn't doing it every day. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

The people running the federal government hate New York City and want to punish people who live here for (by and large) having views and living lives that they dislike. Any gussied-up justification is working backwards from that desired result

Blue states need to be doing the Idlib strategy of building up their own much larger administrative states to quickly reinstate actual existing bureaucracy once this government falls.

NEW: At least three more DOJ Public Integrity Unit senior officials have resigned after meeting with Emil Bove on the Eric Adams case. Five in Public Integrity overall. That’s six officials who resigned, triple the number that happened during the Saturday Night Massacre.

Not that anyone cares but a bunch of senior doj officials resigning over a corrupt instruction to drop a case was what triggered the Nixon impeachment, and in the Trump era it's just the 2pm scandal of a random Thursday and every day now has ~3 such scandals that would have ended any prior admin

reading this and I think most people—even people who think Musk is pretty far gone—don't fully understand the extent to which he is gone. diving into his feed for an extended period of time is a truly horrifying experience that's even a lot critical news-speak does not really capture.

"All elections are rigged and Democrats don't exist" is the kind of paranoid delusion that once got you shunned from society and maybe committed. Now it gets you retweeted by the defacto president and the adoration of thousands of other cultists.

Physical control over key buildings is a major factor in whether coups succeed and Dems need a better plan than what they've done so far. Elon Musk even bragged about his plan before he did it.

1. Show up. Go to the places Musk is taking over, bring cameras, demand to find out what's going on and where it breaks the law. 2. Refuse to allow standard business to continue unimpeded. Deny unanimous consent, delay votes, etc. 3. Be public about how illegal all of this is 4. Lay out a plan

okay but you aren’t again, you could be shutting down all senate business by denying every single unanimous consent request, you could be down at Treasury with cameras, you could be doing something other than issuing strongly worded statements your actions have to match what’s happening

NEW: Sources tell my office that Treasury Secretary Bessent has granted DOGE full access to this system. Social Security and Medicare benefits, grants, payments to government contractors, including those that compete directly with Musk's own companies. All of it.
