To be really clear: The reason members of Congress can't just walk right in is because of the guns. Armed DHS personnel won't allow entry. In other words, DHS is using armed force to break laws. Democrats need to wrap their minds around that. Accept that the frog is boiled.

The Supreme Court is illegitimate. Not just because it is stolen, and it is, and not because it is corrupt, and it is, but because it is wrong and it does not represent the interests of the people. We have to get comfortable with unchaining ourselves from tradition, norms, and decorum.

bit of unsolicited advice, if an individual or organization is appealing to your politics and your sense of justice but their only real call to action is 'buy merch' U ARE BEING SCAMMED.

Does Pinocchio’s nose have a fixed minimum length, or could he learn a truth so profound that uttering it aloud would cause his nose to prolapse and rocket backwards through his skull like a bolt gun, killing him instantly?

good to see people take to the streets & as always so frustrating to watch it fizzle. every single night activists have been arrested for trying to block ICE vans from arriving / departing federal plaza. if 1/100th the No Kings attendees showed up there they’d never get another van through

"defund the police" was so obviously correct. I really don't care if it doesn't poll well. it's like telling me that I should stop saying I like vaccines if they stopped polling well.

Reiterating - in the face of this, protest "optics" or worrying what moderates think could not possibly be less important.

Actually it was the anarchists who helped 100,000 displaced people in LA get through the fires with massive mutual aid distros. Distros that continue to this day even as California politicians resume their policy of houseless sweeps and California cops beat city residents. Ask me how I know.

We can’t afford healthcare because we need that money to shoot rubber bullets into the stomachs of people who don’t want their neighbors to get kidnapped.

Yeah my job is pretty cool. My uniform is a tactical vest that’s two sizes too small and a gaiter I bought in a gas station. They send me to sneak into schools to kidnap little kids because people got mad about having to press 1 for English. The president had to warn everyone to stop spitting on me.

A rule of thumb that will rarely lead you astray in this country is to assume that a riot was started by the people who showed up armed and dressed for a riot.

We already know that police will be brutal, the press will care more about property than lives, Democrats will do nothing, and Trump will push to consolidate power through brutality. We also know that everything he does is deeply unpopular. The question is how will we organize and act together.

One thing is for certain after this week: Local cops in sanctuary cities—Minneapolis, Los Angeles, Chicago, New York—are working in lock step with DHS and ICE.

Well fuck I guess using maximum force to clear students out from sitting around peacefully in an encampment was a good way for them to learn to never fucking let you get anywhere near them again. Holy fuck this is incredible

these people are usually trying to triangulate between extreme right republicans and extreme left democrats... in other words, they're politically illiterate in reality, trying to split the difference between two right wing parties just makes them right wing

there exists no principle in the liberal mind that should not be abandoned the second it becomes politically inconvenient and that some voters cannot forsake morality to “vote strategically” is so intellectually mystifying that they are incapable of recognizing leftists as a constituency to be won

It's darkly funny how little attention the masked secret police receive. Last year it seemed that the chattering class would never shut up about masked undergraduates. Perhaps they saw the encampments as more of a threat to their interests than the jackboots?

Update on this. Apparently the bill just passed the House... 409-2. So, uh, yeah. A ton of Dems just gave the Trump FTC more power to censor the internet. Great job guys.
