What we’re watching now isn’t just a market correction or cyclical downturn. It’s the early tremors of a state-manufactured collapse, a #Trumpcession —as you aptly put it—wrapped in nationalism, fueled by paranoia, and detonated by economic illiteracy dressed up as "strength."

Last month, Jose Franco Caraballo Tiapa, a Venezuelan migrant who was seeking asylum in the US, showed up to his routine check-in with ICE in Dallas, when authorities detained him. His wife believes he’s one of the hundreds of Venezuelan men who were sent to El Salvador under the Alien Enemies Act.

We canceled a trip and reservations as soon as I heard and vetted this information about a month ago, the I deleted the app entirely and left a 1 star review... That's about all we got left atp. That is until the (civil) war starts.

The next phase of our walk to autocracy is that they will go after the courts, deny their legitimacy, attack judges personally, and openly defy and ignore court orders.

Your voice ALWAYS matters. It’s why I’ll never shut up about Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, SNAP, ACA, Veterans, CHIP, my chronic illness & Lupus communities, my disability community & my LGBTQ+ community. Say it LOUD, say it PROUD. We’ll NOT let them bully US. There are MORE of US than them.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

When AOC and Adam Kinzinger are both furious at Chuck Schumer, for the exact same reason, maybe you need to give up the idea this is just a backlash coming from far left activists.

Let’s face it, Schumer has been terrible even before this. It is time for new leadership. He isn’t the person for this moment in history, and the longer he clings to power the worse off we all are.

WYDEN: Do you believe in a nursing home there should be a registered nurse available around the clock? DR OZ: As you know, that's a complicated question WYDEN: No it's not. We need a nurse in a nursing home. Not too complicated.

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

Schumer “caved” for the exact same reason Pelosi always caved: Losing millions in their stock portfolios. This isn’t complicated, folks.

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN. ☎️: (202) 224-3121 Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid. The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING. Call retiring Senators too!

What the f*ck, Chuck⁉️ This is what we’re dealing with in our current Democratic leadership… “It’s a disaster in a few weeks if there was a shutdown, everyone would be complaining…” — @schumer.senate.gov Chris Hayes makes more sense than Schumer. Watch this.

Defeatism is exactly what Trump, Vance, and Musk want us to feel. They’d like nothing better than for us to give up, so they can have it all. Cynicism and hopelessness play into their fetid hands. Keep up the fight.

This is why so many made a very clear distinction, between Jewish people and Israel. It was never against Jewish people. It was always against the state sponsored GENOCIDE and asymmetrical warfare waged against innocent unarmed ppl perpetuated by Israel. Big differences.

If you’re in the US, you can watch PBS for free using the app. There’s a series of documentaries called American Experience that’s really good—each is about a different event in history. Go watch The one about the Gilded Age in season 30. It feels so familiar, it’s genuinely eerie.
