Having a bit of a hard time with the concept that if a guy in a police uniform who has a police vehicle shows up I should lock the doors and call 911, but if a guy in a ski mask with an hGH gut appears to be kidnapping my neighbor, I shouldn’t ask who he is if I don’t want federal charges.

Hard to overstate the degree to which there appears to be literally no one in the president's current circle who has any experience, even at a low level, managing ANY kind of national security crisis or even situation. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/thoug...

WTAF we are now at war with Iran? Is that why he left the G-7 meeting? If this is real, then we’re fucked.

In all the analyses and commentary about the Minnesota assassinations, I have yet to see the words, “stochastic terrorism.” I am sick of reading about “heightened partisanship” or “polarization,“ when threats of violence are almost exclusively from one side. Trump and MAGA have blood on their hands.

It’s nice to know we can still work together as a people to accomplish shared goals, like ruining Trump‘s birthday

I had an amazing time this afternoon with the @visibilitybrigade.bsky.social in Paramus NJ. I had to work so I missed most of the fun, but it was great even for a short time. I have so many friends and family who protested today too 🥰🚫👑🪧🇺🇸 @njindivisible.bsky.social here are more pics!

Over 4.8 million and counting and many events haven’t even kicked off yet. We’re aiming for over 10 million today to hit the 3.5% rule. The crowds are massive and still growing. We are so proud of all of you. Huge shoutout to Texas you showed up!

Protest is a sign that democracy is ALIVE. It means people are united and angry and willing to stand up for what they believe in. If democracy was dead, people wouldn’t dare.

This is a brilliant analysis. Roman triumphs and Renaissance parades were full of symbolism. This is a very ancient tradition and one that is filled with meaning. Of course he has corrupted it entirely. @hcrichardson.bsky.social and @jbf1755.bsky.social did you see this yet?

This is all on him. This is all on MAGA. This is the inevitable progression of fascism and autocracy. It’s only going to get worse before it gets better. Keep protesting! Keep speaking up! Rise and resist!

I love this piece by @amandamarcotte.bsky.social so much! My 25-yo daughter totally got the cover meaning and significance, as did I, (albeit after a beat or two). Brava Sabrina Carpenter. "Manchild" is pure fun and snark, which is just what we need these days.

SEN. PADILLA: “Saying I lunged is a lie, but that’s par for the course for this administration… I was behind the cameras listening, and at a certain point hearing Noem say they had to rescue LA from the Governor and Mayor was too much to take. So I raise my voice to ask a question.”

It is actually nuts that even when the NYC political establishment was presented with a broad field of talented candidates w/ many ideas, in a time of generational change & anti-corruption, they STILL chose to line up behind scandal-ridden Andrew Cuomo. It’s cowardice.

And assaulting a senator or representative when defending their constituency is attacking democracy, as well as all of the people that person represents. How dare they treat the Senate, Congress, and Californians that way?

It's been really demoralizng how much the press mindlessly repeats the lie that the National Guard was sent to quell violence. It was sent to start violence. People know this, so just say it.

Essential we hold two thoughts in our head at the same: There is no doubt the Trumpists want an authoritarian police state, and the situation is acutely dangerous. But being lawless does not make Trump omnipotent. Obscuring that distinction is an act of defeatism that only serves the regime.

"The military parade will be a parade of force & intimidation by wanna-be authoritarians," said Joanne Freeman, a professor of history at Yale University. "It fits right alongside the outsized military display in CA right now—making the same point." www.commondreams.org/news/trump-n...

Right now, Dems are hiding in their offices, scrolling their phones fearfully, wondering "how are voters going to feel about the National Guard being deployed?" The right, meanwhile, is vigorously attempting to shape how voters feel about it, filling every medium with coordinated propaganda.
