For anyone floating the idea that this drugged-out manchild could be a useful Dem ally, no. Let him continue to reap what he has sown. You will reap what you sow if you think embracing him is a financially and politically expedient idea.

Inflaming and provoking violence and division and threatening to deploy military resources against your own people is not a show of strength — it’s abuse of power and a sign of leadership without a moral compass or regard for the law. We are a democracy. We stand strong. You cannot intimidate us.

The weird, often whitewashed way the civil rights movement is taught (or not taught) seemed to convince a lot of people that nonviolence was met with nonviolence, instead of you know, dogs, hoses, beatings, death, etc

Sen Bernie Sanders (I-VA) just now on CNN: "We have a President moving this country rapidly into authoritarianism. He's suing media who criticize him. He's going after law firms that have clients who were against him. He's suing universities who teach courses he doesn't like"

If you really want to drive the point home about how fucked up ICE is then people should start forcing Star Wars themes on ICE. Protesters should start playing the imperial march whenever ICE shows up and should also start dressing like the rebel alliance.

Ezra Klein spent years whitewashing Paul Ryan’s nonsense at the Washington Post and what he got for it is more money and influence because that’s how the system works. Kicking the poors in the teeth is how the people in the media club - Klein, Tapper, Haberman etc - get ahead.

Healthcare for seniors is not waste, fraud, or abuse. Food for hungry kids is not waste, fraud, or abuse. A $45 military parade for a draft dodging felon is waste, fraud, and abuse. Paying the National Guard to attack US citizens is waste, fraud, and abuse.

Phang: We are just 19 weeks—approximately—into the second term of the Trump administration. We have another three and something years to go, people. We cannot allow the DOJ to be led by a lackey of Donald Trump. That is the type of shit you see in a dictatorship.
