The bipartisan efforts to demonize and criminalize pro-Palestinian protestors have also contributed to the lack of mobilization of civil society against Trump, and this was EXACTLY what the right wanted when they cynically exploited Democrats' racism/desires to suppress any dissent.

NY law firm Sullivan & Cromwell is enthusiastically joining Donald Trump's effort to undermine the justice system. It’s sad to see a firm clients have long turned to for counsel on how to comply with the law rendering itself into an instrument for promoting lawlessness, I diacuss in PN.

“The exits of the longtime staffers reflects a deep disillusionment in Fetterman’s office with his disavowal of progressive politics and turn toward the right in both his openness to working with President Donald Trump and his embrace of strident pro-Israel positions”

I've noted some of the procedural things Democrats could be doing in Congress, but this point from @edgeofsports.bsky.social's great piece in the Nation deserves emphasis. This is basic politics, and it's baffling that every Democrat isn't doing it every day. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

I feared this day would never come yet never let go of hope that it would. The fact that it has reminds me to lean into possibility in these times. Here's to all who NEVER gave up the fight to #FreeLeonardPeltier - including Leonard. Sending so much love, respect, care & healing energy his way.

“…advice that Democrats should get quieter on ideas that are simply the right thing to do and that helped motivate millions to vote for them just reaffirms a pallid insincerity, and is therefore politically suicidal.”

Reminder for media & voters: Andrew Cuomo isn’t simply “facing sexual harassment allegations.” He’s been found—after multiple, independent, intensive, in some cases multi year, investigations (including by the DOJ)—to have violated federal and state law for his gross misconduct and abuse of power.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

Elon Musk stole $80.5 million in FEMA funds from New Yorkers, but Mayor Adams won't fight back because he's beholden to Trump. I'm already fighting back—and when I'm Mayor, you can count on me to stand up to Trump and Musk every single day.

We're all worried about the endgame of the admin defying courts. I have a theory of how we could avoid catastrophe. DOJ lawyers don't want to be disbarred. If DOJ loses lots of lawyers, the govt can't function--incl. stuff the admin wants to do. They may care about that. Hear me out. 1/x
