Bookmark it because I'm curious to see how it goes, but I think there is a real risk of Democrats being hit with a Tea Party-esque insurgency in 2026. Not in terms of a "burn it all down with lunatics" mentality, but more of a "our lawmakers are badly out of sync with our base".

You aren’t seeing Black folks at protests because we know Trump will use us as an excuse to start violence—to justify martial law. Black folks, stay home. Be in peace. Our time will come. Everyone else, peacefully protest, but understand we won’t be human shields or targets! Don’t ask that of us.

I've noted some of the procedural things Democrats could be doing in Congress, but this point from @edgeofsports.bsky.social's great piece in the Nation deserves emphasis. This is basic politics, and it's baffling that every Democrat isn't doing it every day. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

"There's an old saying in diplomatic circles: 'If you are not at the table, you are on the table.' Hard to believe it's 2025, and two superpowers are meeting to split up a sovereign nation—like colonialism never went out of style. #Ukraine

I felt bad, then I called my Senators and Representative to object to Kash Patel, and now I feel bad but not guilty because I hadn’t called my Senators and Representative yet.
