👇🎯 To defeat the latter, the former need to make hard choices. And Democrats cannot do that for them. No one wants to hear this, but it is the only way forward.

What Democrats (& democrats) <can> do is to welcome as many of the former into the national front as possible.

Every primary poll so far is like 90% “who have you even heard of?“ If you put Spider-Man as an option, he‘d blow everyone else out of the water cuz voters would be like “Hey, I know who that is!”

Trump’s DOJ lackeys just tried to indict Members of Congress for stating the obvious:

You don’t have to follow illegal orders.

That the DOJ would even contemplate such an action demonstrates what a repressive regime is now running this country. 🧵

Donald Trump’s DOJ just tried—and failed—to indict me in front of a grand jury.

We will continue to fight back against their rising tyranny.

Don’t Give Up the Ship.

As much as we want to rip them a new one for getting us into this mess, when people on the right come forward and apologize and admit they were wrong, we should probably welcome them to the light.

"The records that are being made by observers....that record is now filtering into the public and is changing public opinion. And I think that's vital."

Defendant contacted police before freeway shooting Charles Glen Simmons, 53, of Dillard, is in the Douglas County Jail on $1 million bail after Thursday morning’s alleged crime spree. According to a press release from the Oregon

A white man in Dillard, Oregon was arrested for stopping people on the freeway to demand at gunpoint that they tell him if they were citizens. He shot and missed one + attempted to get another in his truck to bring to police. Before his spree, he called local PD to complain about "foreign" people.

People who were born the day I met Flight of the Conchords are old enough to drink.

JANE FONDA: “I know Don Lemon. My husband created CNN. And I will fight for their right to speak… they arrested the wrong Don. This is how autocrats act. We can’t fall for it.”

Take his personal army away from him while you can, you stupid, stupid assholes. You’re like an armadillo playing dead in the middle of the road so the semi won’t hurt you

Truly insane

I know it's hard to track all the threats to democracy out there right now, but this is at the top of the list.

We’re approaching 50,000 signups for tomorrow’s training on exercising your rights at a time when federal agents are terrorizing our communities. We hope to see you there.

I don’t see too many people talking about what an incredible accomplishment it was for MN officials and lawyers to get those affidavits and that motion written and filed and to get a Trump appointed judge to issue a TRO against the feds to stop them from destroying evidence - all in the same day.

He'll say it about you or your family members too if they happen to get shot standing on the street

Agents detain and send 2-year-old girl and her father to Texas despite court order to release toddler Attorneys for the family say they were asylum-seekers who were pulled over without a warrant. The girl has since been reunited with her mother.

This adorable little girl is home but she should never ever have been taken in the first place. Thanks to our staff, Council Member Chavez & Rep. Sencer-Mura who helped on this case. The administration was literally racing to beat the court & take her away.

We wondered why the court unanimously erased the crime of bribery, and it turned out it's simply because they take a lot of bribes. Similarly, I bet they realize any one of them could draw fraudulent indictments like what Cook got.

Democrats struggle with messaging about the attacks in Minnesota after the disastrous response to "defund the police"

But Mamdani offers a clear, unambiguous statement

Abolish ICE

He's right. We must rid America of these goons, because what they are doing is illegal, immoral and outright harmful

I’ve run out of words to describe this man and the depth of his contempt for this country.

Erick has a point. It’s hard to tell which of these two things is more significant and worth our attention. </sarcasm>

Mike Lawler is a loser

We are open: please wait for us to unlock the door. Thank you for your understanding

this is what it has come to for Mexican restaurants in the Twin Cities

Thanks for clarifying. I saw someone else share this (@mcopelov.bsky.social) in a context that implied that this was real (non-satirical) news.

To anybody still using X: sexual abuse content is the final straw, it’s time to leave | Marie Le Conte It was hard for me to quit Elon Musk’s poisoned platform, but I urge others to do the same, especially in light of Grok’s imagery of women and children, says journalist Marie Le Conte

To anybody still using X: sexual abuse content is the final straw, it’s time to leave www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I've stayed on X (just posting) because of the (probably naive) belief important to ensure accurate content everywhere.

But X just an abusive BS machine. Stepping away.

President Trump smiles with Machado's Nobel Peace Prize.

Could a man be any smaller?

MANAGING MIDTERM EXPECTATIONS The president expressed frustration that his Republican Party could lose control of the U.S. House of Representatives or the Senate in this year’s midterm elections, citing historical trends that have seen the party in power lose seats in the second year of a presidency. “It's some deep psychological thing, but when you win the presidency, you don't win the midterms,” Trump said. He boasted that he had accomplished so much that “when you think of it, we shouldn't even have an election.”

They're acting like we killed an ICE agent and they're taking revenge, which is, you know, insane
