If there were any justice in this world, he would be expelled from Congress.

Democratic senators need to stop pretending that GOP senators are their “good friends across the aisle” and realize many of them are just lying sociopaths who are actively fanning the flames of violence against them.

"To everyone who pulls me aside to whisper with the best intentions 'You have already won', I am sorry, but the days of moral victories are over. And as my father told me years ago, 'When the Right wins power, the Left writes a great book.' Those days are over too." -Zohran Mamdani

Underneath all of those articles is a deep fury that Bluesky punishes instead of rewarding lazy and/or hostile engagement farming. Try to build a following here with trolling and slurs and you'll find yourself in a ghost town. To them that is simply intolerable.

A Trump supporter attempted to murder two Democrats and their families to tip the Minnesota state legislature—and it’s somehow not an enormous scandal for Trump. The both-sidesing of fascist violence is a massive failure of both parties, and the national political media.

Help catch Vance Boelter.

Quick reminder that if you’re engaged in protected speech and get arrested for trumped-up charges, it’s extraordinarily difficult to pursue a civil rights lawsuit if you plead guilty to a crime. Be smart, stfu, and get a criminal lawyer who understands Heck v Humphrey. 💫

multiple reports now that LA cops attacked a peaceful demonstration

just watched this netflix documentary on the oklahoma city bombing and once again i'm struck by how so many of the popular media takes on this event just avoid entirely the connection to organized white supremacism

FOR OBVIOUS REASONS, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU ARE UP TO DATE ON YOUR VACCINATIONS NOW.

The next step to stop a wannabe mad king is impeachment.

Fucking hell: “Minnesota state senator John Hoffman in Champlin and Minnesota state representative Melissa Hortman in Brooklyn Park were reportedly shot in their homes by a gunman impersonating a police officer.”

*wildly waving my arms around until I hit someone* “I HAVE A RIGHT TO DEFEND MYSELF!!!”

Netanyahu’s illegal unilateral attack on Iran risks a full-blown war. These strikes directly undermine the U.S. diplomatic efforts to address Iran’s nuclear program. Talks were planned for Sunday, but Netanyahu chose to attack. We must not be dragged into another Netanyahu war.

US Veterans peacefully protesting Trump’s military birthday parade arrested at Capitol Hill. This is the moment a 80+ year old US veteran is taken away in handcuffs for practicing his 1st Amendment right. #3E #NoKings #NoKingsProtests (🎥 @gregjstoker.bsky.social )

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.

Democrats Back Resolution Thanking Federal Agents For Handcuffing Alex Padilla theonion.com/democra...

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.
