People who comment just to tell us to post different content are so crazy. This is like a big coffee shop where we’re all sitting talking about whatever we want, and these comments are like a stranger pulling up to your table to yell at you to talk about something else. Get some social skills.

The Trump administration is comfortable disappearing people to foreign gulags partially because the Trumpis Justices on the Roberts Court have enabled him at every turn, rewriting the Constitution when necessary to accommodate Trump's lawlessness www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Script: Hi, I'm [name with spelling]. I'm a constituent from [City, Zip code], & I'm calling to demand that Senator/Representative [Name] support a discharge petition for the bill that Rep. Don Bacon is putting forth. These tariffs are harmful economically, financially, & damage our world standing.

I wrote in November that a lot of people voted for a headcanon Trump that would fulfill all of his “good” promises instead of the ignorant sadist who actually exists and made all those “bad” promises, and well, here we are www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

i am fascinated by the outright refusal of people in the professional political commentary class to just consider the possibility that there is no plan and that trump really is a braying idiot with the more acute case of narcissistic personality disorder on record

Bill Ackman freaking out about tariffs and saying "this isn't what we voted for" is as clear a crystallization of conservative self-delusion as you could ever ask for. Yes it is you idiot, you voted specifically for this! He talked about this NON STOP

Mainstream media is doing a woefully inadequate job of highlighting the horrors ICE is committing across the USA. My hunch is that is by design.

Like people will argue you up and down about whether you “need” to mention slavery or colonialism in discussions of America But get very unhappy when you say you HAVE TO Because it’s part of the structure America chose for itself And the crux of its major changes

Re: the protests aren't organizing discourse. Everyone else has pointed out the benefits, but also don't forget that you're looking at a small snapshot in someone's weekend. I'm doing a lot more than just a protest, but you don't find that out by sneering at it.

The biggest thing we need to do is let people know that the protests are FUN. Yelling fuck the man is fun. You will meet fun people. We also need to make them more fun. Bring grills like the French. Bring instruments like it’s Mardi Gras. Give people a reason to spend their weekend in the streets.

YouTube removing "gender identity" from its list of categories protected under its anti-hate speech policy is alarming. Anti-trans harassment and hate speech are permitted to continue uncheckec on all Meta platforms and YouTube. Delete. Boycott. Do what you have to do.

The biggest reason I'm worried about the need to underestimate Trump is that it ignores his biggest strength—hammering the same simplistic narratives—and works to keep from seeing how important that is and how bad Democrats are at that.

If you think this can’t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.
