When you’ve lost the DAILY MAIL

I am only interested in politicians who talk about how to not just defeat MAGA, but bury it. That means constitutional reform to protect democracy from any plausible future cycle of autocracy AND harsh accountability for all of the crimes they have been committing against US.

I always knew conceptually how my family was sent to their death in the Holocaust by friends and countrymen capitulating. But watching it happen in real time so quickly, so easily, with twisted justification and hand waving is putting a whole new spin on understanding the horror they must have felt.

@michigandems.bsky.social I hope someone is relaying these messages bcz this is how many of us feel and see this capitulation.

"Hundreds of military children who are students at Defense Department schools across the globe walked out of class to protest book bans, curriculum changes and restrictions on extracurricular activities that have resulted from Trump's crackdown on diversity." www.military.com/daily-news/2...

The lesson: this is what bipartisanship with fascists gets you. Fascist do not care about bipartisanship. If you pursue it with them, they will make a fool of you. There is only defiance and opposition. That’s all any decent people want from their leaders anyway. Those who won’t can gtfo.

36,000 people going to see Bernie Sanders on a Saturday in Los Angeles is pretty insane.

History has a name for people who were not members of Nazi party, who had “private concerns about that they were doing”, but collaborated with Nazis “for the good of Germany & German people”: history remembers them as Nazis.

It's rare when you get a shot of the EXACT moment a politician's career ends, but there you go

Feels like Democrats should be running on a promise to imprison trump and his entire administration along with musk and the bribed conservatives on what was once the Supreme Court.

I’m told this can’t win because it’s unpopular so the smart play is for Democrats to suck up to conservatives in order to win the votes of 9 bigots who don’t like spray tan.

Perioidic reminder that the reason you didn't see autistic people with intellectual disabilities on the street five decades ago was not because they didn't exist. It's because they were sent away to institutions and their parents were told to put away pictures of them.

Seems like this is extremely popular but then I’m not a well paid centrist Dem consultant responsible for a string of Pyrrhic victories and embarrassing defeats

Anyone who says they want bipartisanship should not be trusted to hold money, teach schoolchildren, or operate heavy machinery.

Climate experts expressed shock and dismay at the move. “It would be a bit like unplugging the equipment that monitors the vital signs of a patient that is critically ill,” one said. By @fastlerner.bsky.social

If the government can pay a foreign state to imprison you and, in so doing, remove you from the protection of US law, the Constitution is worthless.

i have never seen a more pathetic cowardly moment from a politician or possibly anyone holy shit

no lies detected. #civilrights

If an administration can get away with falsifying social security records to target individuals, then there is no bottom. There's also no such thing as a "citizen" because that can be changed with a couple button presses too. Mark your SSN and passport as dead then ship you to El Salvador.

I think it’s important to remember fascism does not only win because of how people vote in a single election. Or even two. That is not the first and only cause. And if your institutions were resistant to fascism it would not succeed in consolidating power within a few months.

The principle at stake here is so fundamental it predates even Magna Carta in English law, and before that stretching all the way back to Rome, and has its similarly ancient equivalents in every legal system in the world, because it's the inherent bedrock foundation of what courts and laws are for.

Dems yet again validating conservatism instead of having their own principles. Deficit spending is a concern *only* of conservatives. But the Dems have framed the entire economic debate in conservative terms here, because Dems in 2025 are conservatives. Dems won’t win like this.

These are conservative forecasts IMO. Grim. *NEW YORK FED PRESIDENT JOHN WILLIAMS COMMENTS IN PREPARED TEXT *WILLIAMS: EXPECT TARIFFS TO BOOST INFLATION THIS YEAR TO 3.5-4% *WILLIAMS: SEE UNEMPLOYMENT REACHING 4.5%-5% OVER THE NEXT YEAR *WILLIAMS: GDP GROWTH TO SLOW TO 'SOMEWHAT BELOW' 1% IN 2025

you'll never be rid of him

A lot of other people here are autistic aswell as you. You read personal story after personal story. You read about people who pour their hearts out and talk about their life experiences. You read about their ups and downs, and what lives they have today. Why should autism be seen as a negative.

oh is it that time again already

i do not think the mainstream press is equipped or capable of covering ideological white nationalists and eugenicists as such, or even capable of noting that this is what they are. it is related to the wide belief that racism is simply a matter of manners.

liberals joined the conservatives to attack abolitionists during slavery and during westward expansion liberals created conspiracy theories, and propaganda stories that absolve them of their complicity in the genocide of indigenous groups and individuals. America has always had a“moderate”problem.

I really wish people like considered for half a second that maybe they weren’t really taught actual political theory or history in American schools.

Update: I just listened to the audio of this. Trump: “If the Supreme Court said bring somebody back, I would do that. I respect the Supreme Court.” Reporter: And the lower court as well…? Trump: “Oh no, no. I’m not talking about the lower court. I have great respect for the Supreme Court.”

We’re fighting antisemitism on college campuses. That’s why we pulled Holocaust history from the library of the Naval Academy but left two copies of Mein Kampf.

Remember what I said about there being a network of conservatives infiltrating mainstream news organizations, whose loyalty is to the conservative movement rather than to the news organizations

Damn, I guess I should not have invested $1 billion in new smartphone manufacturing plant that will come online in 5-6 years based on the 3 days we had 125% import tax <sarcasm emoji>
