Something seems to connect all of these things… I doubt that the legacy media is able to pick up on it though (let alone name it).

Don’t act perplexed. Be direct and tell the American people why Trump is doing what he’s doing.

Also, keep it short and to the point. Don’t use a paragraph when a bullet point will do.

Mike Davis racist smear

Mike Davis racist smear

Hakeem Jeffries posted pictures of two Rep. Members posing with β€œYoung Republicans” who were part of a racist text thread (as reported by Politico).

In response, Mike Davis (well-connected in Trump World & on the Hill) called Jeffries a β€œhouse slave” for George Soros - proving Jeffries’ point.

It's also about rejecting racism, sexism and corruption.

I think Platner will win the primary and it will make him stronger vs Collins.

It's definitely a mistake. The future won't be decided based on experience pushing through bi-partisan legislation or winning over donors.

@grahamformaine.bsky.social understands that the fight is about taking our country back from the oligarchs and making our country work for real people.

A few years ago I was talking to a old guy in the gym... he told me there was no racism until Obama became president. He said he grew up in Baltimore and everyone got along fine.

The conversation started when I told him off for calling Colin Kaepernick "Crapernick".

Greg Bovino, Kristi Noem, and DHS need to answer for their unchecked attacks on Chicago residents.

ICE is an out-of-control danger to our peaceful communities.

The images from the Sun-Times today speak for themselves.

Update from the empty halls of Congress:

The Speaker has still not sworn in Rep. Grijalva.
The House doors remain locked.
The Epstein files are still sealed.
The Republican health care crisis is still weighing on millions of Americans.

Speaker Johnson needs to do his job so WE can do ours!

Saying SCOTUS is 'reluctant to constrain the imperial presidency' presupposes that the majority doesn't want an an all-powerful president... at least when it's the president is a right-wing, pro-oligarch christian nationalist like Trump.

Screenshot of my Facebook post. 

rump and the GOP are saying we're terrorists for disagreeing with them. 
-That we're paid by George Soros. 
-That we hate America.
-We just normal Americans who love our country.
If you disagree what Trump and the GOP are doing to America, please find a local rally and attend.
If you agree with Trump, you can do that without falling for the Fox news propaganda calling us terrorists, communists, paid agitators, etc.  Yes, Trump won a very close election, but that doesn't make it right for him to declare war on 50% of America.

Let's all try to get our less engaged friends and family to join a No Kings Day rally and push back hard on the GOP's attempt to brand us as terrorists, communists and American haters.

I've been talking to people directly and reaching out on facebook.

Dear reporters: This weekend we might witness an army of armed masked thugs attacking a sea of inflatable cartoon characters.

If you are not planning on being out there with your cameras, you should resign now.

MAGA Rage at β€œNo Kings” Boils Overβ€”and It Quickly Backfires on Trump As Trump allies smear the coming protests, a good writer on MAGA skewers the absurdity of these attacks on large swaths of Americansβ€”and explains why our best recourse will be to turn out in force.

If Republicans are going to label you a terrorist for peacefully protesting Trump's failing presidency, abuses of power, and treatment of blue America as an enemy nation, let's turn out in even bigger numbers.

Agreed. But it is important to emphasize the importance of non-violence. Miller is frustrated because he hasn't been able to trigger the reaction he expected.
