But you see in dealing with me, the relatives didn't know that they were dealing with a staunch character and I tell you if there's anything worse than dealing with a staunch woman...S-T-A-U-N-C-H. There's nothing worse, I'm telling you. They don't weaken.

If Tesla's stock drops far enough, the bank loans Elon took out to buy Twitter lose their collateral and get called back immediately. Which is why Elon is panicking, Trump is panicking, and their shadow backers are all panicking.

While winning is always preferrable, you don't fight fascists to win, you fight because they're fascists.

I'm also sick of the defeatist hand-wringing. For fuck's sake, grow a spine. Show a little fight. Respond with anger instead of hopelessness. It's better for the spirit (and more fun.)

My email to Sen Gillibrand: History tells us that appeasing madmen and wanna-be dictators doesn't work. In these trying times, we are counting on you to act like a leader, not a legislator.

these are the names of young Black men who were "found dead" after the Ferguson uprising following the murder of Michael Brown in 2014. Edward Crawford Jr. is in the famous image below. his death was ruled a suicide. our gov't is not new to silencing activists. the least we can do is remember them.

I’m gonna disagree. Dems should say: “You know damn well Republicans don’t care about women’s sports. And you know they get arrested every single day for preying on kids. No wonder they make laws where they get to look in your kid’s pants. They wanted to make a child predator Attorney General.” …

Spikes and his ex-wife were involved with Russian diaspora websites and groups linked to pro-Kremlin KSORS players, Russian state media while he was at SpaceX.

Gillibrand's signature act as a senator was forcing Al Franken out, justifiably, for a pattern of harassment. To then overlook the clear, abundant, documented history of sexual harassment from Andrew Cuomo converts a hard line in the sand into so much meaningless mush. NYC deserves better, NYS too.

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

THIS: "Actions aren’t just meant to push those in power. They can also be designed to rally people and get them further engaged." Fascists have spend a decade building their own alt-civil society, which has FAR more to do with its effectiveness than elected politicians. Dems let theirs stagnate.

Casar: "Americans are rising up... Republicans have to lie through their teeth when they say they're not worried, bc we hear them in the hallway worried. They're worried bc they know they have a choice: they can either be representatives of their districts, or they can act like Trump/Musk employees"

Why does 25% AfD among young men spark a thousand "what is going on with young men?" posts yet Die Linke 34% among young women generates...nothing at all? Yes, young men voting for the radical right is an important phenomenon. But so is young women going rad left *at even higher rates*.

I’ve said it before but a lot of people who are very smug about their contempt for “liberals” actually have just mistaken “liberals” for “women.”

So white people listened to Kamala Harris speak last night and took from it that Kamala Harris and Black people were coming to fix things? And now they're looking at their watches and tapping their foot because the Blacks haven't waved the magic wand that ensures their caucasian comfort yet?

Democrats are fundamentally misunderstanding the moment: We're not asking them to be *legislators* right now. We need them to be *politicians.* There's nothing to be done about the legislative situation. They're right about that. But there's PLENTY to be done as politicians.
