Force errors. They're reactionary. Woke won the war. Make them react to us and make dumb errors in the process. Half-baked Nazi salutes are forced errors.

It's paper thin rhetoric at that. You cannot do research on why it takes combat medics longer to do a blood sweep on a woman than a man, and you can't advocate to make changes that improve outcomes for women. The whole thing is to question the merit of every woman and POC because of their race

Military officers should remember that it takes decades to build trust between civilians and their military, and that institutional trust is critical with an all-volunteer force of citizen-soldiers. It takes very little to piss that away, as dozens of other national experiences show

Dem pols: get out there and force errors, just like this!

Again, Janet Mills takes the bait and forces an error. Trump leaves the room and demands DoEd go after Maine with a bullshit, politicized Title IX investigation. Now Susan Collins will have to defend that in '26.

Real heroes down there getting in these Nazis' business

A few lessons learned from the first month for the fighters: - Regime is soft to what we say and do in the streets. @indivisible.org goes with a "No Kings" message for 17FEB protests and w/i 48 hrs the regime rolls out Trump=King - Dems electeds can and must be prodded. Townhalls are angry! 1/🧵

Yes, this! Large, and at a time and place that makes the regime uncomfortable. We need quick reaction forces to protest/counterprotest the regime and their Nazi foot soldiers!

Just got done protesting and passing out flyers urging Van Hollen and Alsobrooks to object to unanimous consent outside tonight's townhall per @senategabe.bsky.social Attendees very receptive, straight pissed. VanHollen, Alsobrooks, Raskin spending first half hour on speeches, no questions yet 1/
