Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

Fuck you to every single Dem Senator who voted for this fucking fascist shit. Fuck. You.

It is time to start calling @schumer.senate.gov Neville Chamberlain.

just understand that Schumer has ALWAYS operated by telling people what they want to hear right up until the last moment. his leadership is defined by saying what's necessary to avoid getting yelled at today no matter the costs tomorrow, and now it's leading to catastrophic results for all of us

Ashamed of my Senator. He should not be in leadership.

This is fascism and if not stopped we all know where it’s heading

“Trying to appeal to a voter who will congratulate you for scolding a member of your own party for peacefully protesting fascism is a losing game because that voter does not exist.”

Many of us have read histories or books or watched movies about corrupt, despotic governments in various foreign countries. As Anne Applebaum explains, it's now happening in our own country.

Now current through February, 2025.

Agreed!!

We need all truly patriotic members of Congress to follow Beyer's lead. Our President is a Russian agent working against everything that America stands for. He deserves no support from any of us.

You can do more damage inside than out. If you have the time and luxury, get a job at Tesla, Starlink, SpaceX. Leak their data and sabotage them from within. This is war. #3E #Resist

Trump, Vance, Musk, et al all work for Vladimir Putin. He is their Daddy and they know it. If you like democracy, freedom, and all that good stuff, you'd better fight back while you can. www.theframelab.org/trump-vances...

This is an older story, but worth keeping in mind through every step of the AI hype cycle. The whole business model relies on violating copyright law. If your business model relies on stealing your inputs, that's normally called not having a viable business model.

Some of us remember drills where we hid under our classroom desks in case the Russians bombed us. Now our President works for Russia.

I stand with Ukraine 🇺🇦 ❤️ if you do, too.

This is what ardent NYT _conservative_ Bret Stephens is saying. Anyone with any sense knows that today was an absolute disaster and disgrace for the United States.

I’m sorry, but repeating this framing without skepticism is collaborating with your source to mislead your readers. They have been working on humiliating Zelensky and catering to Putin since long before the inauguration. Nothing about this is a response; it’s the plan of an abuser and a charlatan.

Any psychologist or psychiatrist (or former abused spouse) will tell you that President Zelensky gave a master class today on how to deal with a malignant narcissist. He is an amazing man. We can all learn from him.

You can either support the United States of America and our democracy, or you can support trump. You cannot do both.

You cannot be pro-Trump and pro-democracy at the same time.

If you study this graph long enough to understand what it means, you will realize that deficit and debt hysteria are as sensible as thinking the moon is made of cheese.

The federal government creates money every time it spends by simply changing numbers in bank accounts. It can create as much money as it wants. If it spends more than it subtracts in taxes, we call that a deficit.

Musk and his DOGE hoodlums are not saving any tax dollars. Anyone who thinks they are clearly doesn't understand money.

cool as hell

Social democracy is not a viable alternative to capitalism. It is a tempting prospect, but ultimately suffers from violent contradictions that cannot be sustained. 🧵

Thread.

An absolute must read, especially for House and Senate Democrats www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Senator Chris Van Hollen: "We are witnessing here, Mr. President, is the result of the most corrupt bargain in American history, because Elon Musk spent over $280 million to elect Donald Trump, and Donald Trump has handed the keys of the U.S. government over to Elon Musk." 🔥

And here's Bob Kuttner on why Democrats haven't been able to tell a story about capitalist corruption: because they're implicated in it. prospect.org/politics/202...

Canada is talking about a 100% Tariff on Elon’s Swastikars.

Wish I knew somebody who was in one of the two halls of Congress right now.

There is no such fucking thing as being “too woman” to pilot a helicopter, “too gay” to land a plane or “too black” to be an air traffic controller. There is however, such a thing as being too hateful, too stupid & too sociopathic to be president. And we call that Donald Trump.

Hello federal civil servants!! READ THIS if you’ve received an OPM “Fork in the Road” email: www.civilservicestrong.org/resource/opm...

On top of being terrible policy, this is procedurally no way for the largest economy of the world to manage its relationship with its largest trading partners. No debate, no vote, no plan, no meaningful notice, just one guy's mood whenever he gets around to it.

It goes without saying but if you see this post, spread it everywhere you can. Plan accordingly and setup your own times and spots among yourselves and announce it using the hashtags. Let’s do our best.

This is Authoritarian 101 basic stuff: Start a witchhunt into media platforms that aren’t promoting your agenda. Meta caved in. PBS didn’t. So PBS gets the McCarthy treatment.
