So many things none of us will perceive will come out of today's gatherings. That's the point. People find each other, they take some strength and remember they aren't actually isolated and alone. This is fortification for what's to come.

thinking about the amount of context necessary to explain to someone from 2010 what people are protesting with signs reading "cheap eggs not measles" or "tax the rich, not the penguins"

Yes, the stock market may be tanking and our national security apparatus has never been more vulnerable and we're on the verge of both economic collapse and war, but it was all worth it to keep pronouns out of email signatures.

if the united states ever has even a hope of recovering we have to destroy the idea of american individualism. "they don't owe you anything" we owe each other everything actually

I hate to be the one to say it, but this has been missing from nearly all the commentary– Gang members deserve due process rights as much as anyone else. Disappearing them is as much a crime against humanity as disappearing unaffiliated men.

As someone who is not Jewish watching this destruction carried out by others who are not Jewish, that part looks intentional. Trump, Musk, et al want these acts of vandalism and sabotage to be in the name of the Jews, to appear to be at their behest. They want to shift the blame to them.

Elon Musk has been a walking SEC violation for a decade and no one cared. The entire Trump era could have been avoided if the US took white collar crime anywhere near as seriously as it does low level drug crime.

it's been years upon years of labored "campus culture" op-eds from salaried writers hectoring students about free speech, and now the state is kidnapping students for their speech in broad daylight

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

Closing rural post offices will do the same thing that closing rural schools has done: Empty out rural towns. Why? To sell off farmland for rock bottom prices to the oligarchs. Water and mineral rights and CAFOs polluting with impunity. It’s been the plan for decades.

Critical messaging for Dems if they're being forced into a shutdown. Undo the cuts to Social Security, VA health care, cancer care research. Put the DOGE boys into a boxes w chaperones if the Republican want help. NEED TO BE CRYSTAL CLEAR about what's at stake immediately in peoples lives.

Honest question, if taxpayers are paying for this, then how is there a profit? In order to make a profit doesn't it have to be *more expensive* than if the government was running the prisons at cost? How is that helping us as a nation?

Here's the thing. There's no community or freedom or civil right you can sacrifice to the right wing that will satisfy their lust for control. You give an inch, they will mandate a mile. And Americans want unapologetic leaders who see through the manipulation and refuse to back down.

Trump literally called your colleague an ethnic slur during his speech! And you senators want DECORUM??? He trashed Biden & lied & lied & lied. He threatened our allies. And you want decorum? You senators MIGHT wake up when we are on the trains, as my friend @tzipshmil.bsky.social, would say.

Let’s go, Hawaii! We deserve better than Ed Case, who voted to censure Al Green for refusing to remain silent while Trump claimed he had a “mandate” to cut MEDICADE. Medical care for our most vulnerable. Now is not a time for decorum when our government is being gutted and sold for profit.

"I think there's a better way to live... It means choosing irritation and annoyance and constantly bumping into each other and navigating our own contradicting desires and rolling your eyes and feeling put out and not understanding why someone is like that and then maybe, sometimes, learning why."

Funny thing: telling people to "keep politics out of it" is itself a political statement.
