It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

The crowd recognized it, responded by cheering, and he acknowledged that in return. It isn't some sneaky thing a few elites are caught up in, dogwhistling to the fringes. It is the base of their movement. Because they're Nazis. Sincere, unambiguous fans of Hitler and everything that goes with that.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

The authoritarians & oligarchs benefit from us blaming eachother for the massive wealthy inequality in this country. Blame the corrupt billionaires, mega corporations, and big money in politics. Not your neighbor.

What's absolutely maddening about this moment is that media refuses to pay attention to Musk and Vance's neo-Nazi connections because they feel like it's unserious Twitter stuff... except, Musk and Vance take it so seriously they're putting these people in charge of the entire US government

The same geniuses who think a handful of trans athletes are “unfair” to women are seemingly fine with firing a female four star Coast Guard admiral without cause. They don’t give a shit about women.

the fucking enforcement arm of the federal government is launching a war on integration an effort to push tens of millions of americans to the bottom of an arbitrary hierarchy of value and yeah, it pisses me off to see nominal allies say “oh yeah maybe they have a point”

Murphy: "We need to act like a real opposition party in the middle of a constitutional and democracy crisis. That means we should not be moving forward nominees or legislation in the Senate. Ds should not be giving votes to nominee or legislation in the Senate until Rs get serious about this crisis"

The takeover of Twitter was a preview of what we're all living with now and a stark example of why you can't let any one person have too much money: they go insane and make themselves everybody's problem

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

What now for the reactionary centrists on the “Just asking questions about trans people” beat and the anti-“woke” academic leftists on the “DEI is how the Libs distract us” gig, as it’s blatantly obvious they helped pave the way for the Right’s comprehensive assault on the civil rights order?

The abrupt shift to the Trump-Musk administration and its culture of bigotry, hostility, and paranoia is something I haven't felt since Reagen entered office. This is more extreme, and the complicity of so much of the media and populace and the fear of response by many in government is despairing.

Every single bad and evil thing that happens in the USA is Donald Trump and the GOP’s fault. Everything can and must be blamed on them. We are at war with a murderous death cult. Act accordingly.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

Normalizing spelling out what people actually mean when they cite DEI rather than letting them hide behind the safe cover of a euphemism that's been sapped of meaning

“DEI” is a capacious term that is meant to evoke tedious and ineffectual sexual harassment trainings but in practice is code for women or people of color having any dignity or prestige in public life.

Democrats: what you need to all be saying, with a single voice, is "The United States government is in crisis, and our political and economic system may collapse, because Donald Trump is trying to throw out the Constitution and make himself a dictator."

I don’t care if you’re a relative, a fantasy novelist, or an elected official, transphobia is manufactured outrage and transphobe are trash. None of America’s problems are cause by trans people. None. But a LOT are caused by bigots.
