We see regularly scheduled articles about why Bluesky is bad. But what about the obvious point that Twitter is Elon's Machine for Fascism and it's breaking reporters' brains? I decided to write it. Reporters need to get off Elon's Twitter

We've talked a lot lately about petitioning for a redress of grievances and how we can't wait till the midterms to get Trump out of office. Folks sometimes respond that Congress won't change their minds. But they will if they get pressure from their constituents. Listen to Rep. Raskin #NoKings

Yes, he's polling poorly, but he still has the power to do what he wants. If we want to stop him, we must *build the power* to do that. Sadly, we cannot disapprove our way out of fascism.

"Any form of protest that appears the slightest bit emphatic, aggressive, valiant, or physical will completely erase any support from the dozens of Americans still on the fence about the whole 'Elder God Apocalypse' thing."

This is far worse than the contempt of court language in the House bill. It SHOULD come out in the Byrd bath, but Republicans could choose to ignore the parliamentarian. Very scary attack on checks and balances by the Senate GOP.

It is significant that @raskin.house.gov has made this statement + included impeachment as the remedy for addressing a wannabe king or dictator in public office. We must keep the pressure on. Members of Congress have a duty to abide by their oath and to defend our Constitution. @fsfp.bsky.social 1/

Can't wait for all the takes on why we're not in a constitutional crisis just yet.

The Senate bill aims to effectively end all civil rights lawsuits against the federal government except by entities rich enough to potentially pay million/billions in fees. I am not making this up.

This guy is just posted up outside of Congress and I’m honestly not sure what his political views are but I agree

The limits and perils of "Vote Blue No Matter Who". "75 Democrats broke ranks to join Republicans voting for a House resolution, which expressed gratitude for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other law enforcement officers" www.newsweek.com/democrats-ic...

The support for genocide, the purging of minorities, the targeting of universities, attacking bodily autonomy for women, destroying science and international exchange funding, muzzling journalists, and deploying military force on citizens... All a sign of America's profound weakness and decline.

impeachment is a process that occurs gradually as scandals accumulate & public anger builds over time dems' refusal to make the case for impeachment is self-defeating, to restore democracy they need to commit to working towards removing trump & his lieutenants, however long it takes

How is this not a war crime? How this not a green light for Iran to target Israeli or U.S. civilian scientists in return?

Not-so-gentle reminder that one senator can use his privilege to pretty much grind the senate to a halt.

complete fucking failure that the day is going to end without articles of impeachment against Noem

What are they demanding?

There’s nothing here that needs clarification. There are no explanations that would be sufficient. There should be an official announcement from the Democrats that any apologies will be rejected. What’s needed are consequences.

WHY ARENT THEY CALLING FOR ANYTHING SPECIFIC

shut down the senate.

At LEAST for Noem. Start there.

Every reporter following me should be asking senator press offices what their stance is on impeachment right now.

Get a handle on the California National Guard, the California State Guard and the California Highway Patrol, all of which you command. Mobilize them to protect your residents.

It would be an excellent time for Al Green to invoke Rule IX on his impeachment article about authoritarianism.

The only remedy for a tyrant is impeachment.

yes. i thought it was doomed to failure because people could just leave the site as he ruined it, but many proved to be addicted to it and unable to leave behind the clout and dopamine hits from engagement they had accumulated for a different site

It’s completely insane that US troops are illegally deployed to suppress domestic opposition and it’s not uniformly condemned by the press and political elite.

dude this party is such an echo chamber. it's just friends hanging out and chilling and having a good time. you need to invite some people over who want to kill you with hammers

How will you ever convince them to not kill you with hammers if you don’t let them come over with their hammers and tell you their ideas

Zohran is up. Keep going.

The trump machine is going all-out to get Cuomo installed, and it appears that New Yorkers are noticing.
