@jenpsaki.msnbc.com Tea Party completely changed the R's. No Kings/BLM/Voto Latino is, minimally, twenty times bigger than the Tea Party. Recognize the market. Or continue to think of it as a 'distraction' and bounce people like D Hog. D's choice.

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com Even more bonus points for diagraming out exactly how No Kings can mobilize w/ BLM and Latino voting rights groups to form what becomes the D party going forward. Without being able to do this, D's won't be able to get on the field ever again.

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com Bonus points for diagramming exactly how voter apathy, a compliant press, political system and legal system led to where we are today.

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com No more wide-eyed 'can u believe trump just did that' reaction. Of course he did. He's a criminal and an asshole. That explains everything about him. No one is confused about that. Some agree with him and they're maga. The rest of us just have to give up being shocked.

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com D's can prob turn the corner politically when you come on the air one night and say: Okay...we've lost. We're living in a dictatorship right now. It's obvious. But that dictatorship is weak b/c their leader is weak cognitively and within the 3 pillars every dictatorship needs.

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com But we all know this is about seizing voting results ultimately. What's the over/under on a felon president who'd go to jail if not in office willingly surrendering to elections or any sort of oversight? Answer that ? and try to make a case how we'll have any more free elections.

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com Curious how long it will take Trump to seize all money earmarked for the National Guard in every state after yesterday's decision? Better yet, how long it will take until he turns them onto being partners in ICE raids?

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com Prob good to remind people that, because she's spent money illegally (and like a drunken sailor, yay waste, fraud and abuse!!) Noem and DHS need more $ in July, that we can demand accountability guidelines for spending and rules of engagement? It'd be cool if we did that, ayyy?

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com Hello Jen Psaki!! Hmm. So Trump can indeed seize power of state National Guard according to yesterday's decision (& he'll definitely abuse it). And DHS/ICE has gone rogue while spending $ illegally..., probably safe to assume this is how he'll seize election results...1

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com Let's stop it, for our kids if nothing else. Nothing gets left on the table. Solidify a NO KINGS/BLM/Latino voting rights constituency, dedicate to the death of Citizens United and the filibuster. Squash Dobbs. Commit to windfalls profit taxes for gougers. Expand the SCOTUS. ..5

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com We've already become an autocracy. We're past slippery ground. We fell on our ass. It's about the future now. First step is to cut off the $ to the entity that killed government as we've known it. It started w/ the Nixon pardon & has come full circle w/ Trump...4

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com What to do? Well, turns out ICE is illegally spending $ at an insane pace in addition to their illegal seizures. We have to stop the funding for them and make them justify their existence and illegal training/recruiting protocols. This is a JULY issue. Right here, right now. ..3

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com The ICE raid teams will continue to haunt the courthouses and federal buildings through the '26 election and seize voting results. To not admit this is either intense gaslighting or insanity. There is literally no reason to believe, given Trump's history, this won't happen...2

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com Hello Jen Psaki!! Let's be honest, shall we? We're done. The extrajudicial ICE/Border Tactical units have taken the federal courthouses and buildings in NY and CA. Why there 1st? B/c they were the ones who would've most put up a fight. And they weren't able to. Full stop...1

You know when you get on that script/story/poem that teaches you something about your voice you never knew was there. That's where I am today with the script I'm on... Here's how I got there... www.barnesandnoble.com/w/transcendi...

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com It's awful that political assassinations, the logical result of trumpism, are back in vogue. But it does emphasize this is a war that laughs in the face of decorum. While sympathies need to be extended, eyes need to be opened as well. 8

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com And please, D Hog had some real truth to share. Maybe he did it outside party norms. But he's right, party norms means lost elections/power on a national basis. If D's can't resolve this..., WTF? What shot do they have elsewhere? 7

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com D's have no choice but to be honest and informative now. If there's one thing made clear by trumpism it's that it's impossible to protect freedom and liberty while doing your lobbyist job that's fueled on dark money, no? 6

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com Every single state with D senators has to declare solidarity with California. This is not the time to sit back and hope some advertising agency comes up with an effective talking point one liner, you know? They'll just repeat trump's talking points for him inside a bad joke. 6

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com And hello..., DHS has to be charged for assault of the California senator??? I mean, c'mon. At least pull Noem in for questioning. Time to forcefully establish jurisdictional reality rather than hope for the trumpies to act civilly. They won't. To hope they will is insane. 5

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com And the D's have to meet the moment in blue states. Minimally, they have to require ICE to declare when they're in a state, provide paperwork to prove they can be, and they should be arrested when acting illegally. The military also has to refuse unlawful orders...5

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com It won't take dark money. But it will rewrite how campaigns are conducted. Not a bad thing since the first things the D's should do with any sort of power again is ditch the filibuster, rid dark money, and expand the SCOTUS. And federally protect abortion rights. 4

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com Newsom one night. Crockett. Frost. AOC. Pete B. Chris Murphy. Swalwell. Jeffries. Raskin. Schiff... The really good communicators. And make it educational. Informative. It's an early start to a presidential campaign for sure, but isn't necessarily a campaign... 3

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com In fact, so much hope from the Newsom pressers that it's clear the D's should not let one single day go by without having one. Your thoughts? Make it an early start to the presidential campaign. One without dark money. An educational 'fireside' chat from one of the long bench...2

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com Good morning Jen Psaki!! Although not a fan of how aggressive LA PD got with protesters after a certain point yesterday, I am definitely a fan of Newsom being willing to go on offense on Trump in press conferences last week. They're very effective and give hope...1

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com Wall Street will keep being Wall Street. The American market is too big to give up on. But D's have to be smart about leaning on media to report their plans, b/c media is more responsible than anyone for furthering Trump and trumpism. It's obvious. 6

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com Bottom line, relegate the corruption back to Wall Street. People expect it there. But make them pay their way for it. That's what the public needs to see to trust D's on the economy. Love Obama, but not prosecuting a bank for mortgage fraud in '09 was a huge mistake. 5

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com 4th, it couldn't be more of a sales pitch...etc. D's have to educate the public as a friend would. And they have to be willing to NOT profit like hogs off of dark money. In fact, they have to campaign on getting rid of it. And mean it. But Newsom and Crockett's tone is perfect. 4

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com And the first agency that tries to say something like: the 'big beautiful betrayal' has to be shown the door. 1st, the public doesn't share the same cheeky humor. 2nd, assuming they do is actually insulting. 3rd, it repeats the word beautiful, attributing beauty to trump. 3

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com This 'fireside' chat is needed for *educational* purposes and has to be covered by both TV and online sources. I mean OMG..., R's still come out ahead in polling on economic issues. The public couldn't be more confused. They have to be overtly taught through friendly talks. 3

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com The administration needed to intro windfall profits tax on price gougers since it was clear that was what was going on. Water under the bridge. But the talks for 'fireside' chats are just as needed now. It could be a team. 1st round: Newsom, Swalwell, Crockett, Jeffries, AOC. 2

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com Good morning Jen Psaki!! Let's all wish each other well today in this extremely troubling time. So, during covid I'd tweet Joe Biden to start doing 'fireside' talks explaining what was going on. The country needed it, especially since the right was gig napping the discussion...1

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com Newsome = the spokesman for the D's. Full stop.

Address these facts directly, please. The time for saving face is over. Seriously. Newsome's talk was a start. It needs action behind it. 11

No more wide eyed 'can you believe they did that' BS. We believe it and we can see D's didn't fight with everything they could have fought with. Joe didn't pivot the immunity decision into an expanded SCOTUS. He could've. And should've. No windfall profits tax on price gougers. No brainer. 9

I mean, when will D's stop with saying trump campaigned on lowering prices? Everyone knows their message was one of authoritarianism and hatred. And they voted for it anyway and actively suppressed the votes they could get away with. 8

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com Many D's are as much a fan of Citizens United decision as the R's are. The public knows. We have to save the country through massive demonstration..., both now and if D's manage to get power again. Big if because the trump admin is setting up to seize voting results. 7

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com D's chronic inability to respond appropriately hastens what the right is trying to do..., indeed, has accomplished in ruining the Constitution. D's still don't realize they needed to grind the government to a halt when McConnell stacked the Supreme Court. 6

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com What the D's have to realize is that they have to get ahead of that reality and begin thinking of what this country's next Constitution will be. Anything short of this will be read as gaslighting and lying. The right has read this and has responded with fascism. 5

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com The public realizes 'responding at the time and place of our choosing' means never responding. They were never fully educated on what is in the Constitution. But what they do understand is that the system has failed. They're ready for what comes afterward..4

What the agency message of betrayal assumes is that the public understands what's being betrayed. It also assumes it shares in the cheeky humor behind the message. Wrong on both counts. The public DOESN'T fully understand. Plus they've given up. 3

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com You had it right with the 'big ugly bill' message. The bill is big. It's ugly (as is every aspect of trump). And it's a bill. The public understands what that means. 2

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com Good morning Jen Psaki!! Really saddened to see the D misread of messaging in the Senate with their 'big beautiful betrayal' messaging. Not that it isn't, but it just shows their willingness to farm their messaging to agencies that don't understand the public at this moment...1

Some scenes don’t move the plot forward. They fracture the mirror. They show the ghost. They break the damn compass. You think that’s a problem? That’s your story waking up. Transcending the fictive dream means letting the weird shit speak. www.barnesandnoble.com/w/transcendi...

Looks like we need some travel directions in how to overcome oppression here in the States. To that end... have an awesome day. www.barnesandnoble.com/w/transcendi...

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com Good morning Jen Psaki!! Great talk by Newsome last night. Let's hope that blue state governors realize that ICE raid teams are this generation's Watergate break in teams. And they must be arrested by State Police.

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com Newsome is giving the talk that needs to be given right now as we speak.

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com Jen Psaki!! D's have to go on offense. Ask secession questions. State police have to begin arresting illegal ICE raids. And please media, do not let trump talk about insurrection without making him compare and contrast with his dereliction of duty on 1/6.
