This is the chance for Dems to show their quality - do they step up and protect our brave service folk?

My money is on "no"

Republicans are Fascists, Dems do not share my values
WTF!

Finally an accurate statement from a chatbot

Vonnegut called it

One of the few things I'm absolutely sure of is that there's nothing wrong with being trans. We're just a type of person. We deserve equality because all people deserve equality.

Give them a subsidy if the plants (not just flowers - grass/forbes) are native species to the that ecosystem

*things like this; not just for this case obviously

Awesome. Albatross do a similar thing but with female couples.
Gender is a social construction

🚨 Happening now in LA. ✊🏼
RISE UP! LA is leading the way for our country. 📌

It's catchy, I like it!

"Cook your own food" is almost certainly the easiest "eat healthy" advice, rather than obsessing about which oil

Trump has shown that he only hires sycophants and lackies. What the Holy Hell, Sen Warren?
"Tough Questions"?
That's not resistance - say "no" out of the box
Trump instigated an insurrection and this is how you oppose his illegitimate rule?

And she's one of the "good" ones

We're so alone in this

I applaud their current action, their strength - but these are Dems, and their values are not my values
I want a United States where we are disagreeable to Nazis and Insurrectionists and lock them up
Where inequality and corruption are reduced
Where Education is a national priority

That ain't Dems

Have to disagree with this message
Never imagining that Republicans in the government would threaten your safety shows a lack of awareness
Framing the problems as some sub-set of Republicans ("extremism") is mis-diagnosis
Hoping to go back when we can "all just get along" is not appealing to me

Ok, smartypants - so where's the collective? Where's the "network" that will resist? Where's the group I need to be in solidarity with?

Is this the problem, everyone acting on their own? Or is the REAL problem that we don't have any actual resistence groups...

I'd bump this to the top of the list, though I agree it's a challenge.

Agreed!

Is there a national registry we can consult so I can reach out and shame them? I would even rejoin Facebook for this sole purpose.

Is there ever a legitimate reason to grab someone's jersey in soccer? I think not.
Why isn't that an automatic yellow card?

This will not be restored by traditional methods

Dems who hope to lay low, let MAGA become unpopular, and ekk out a win will be faced with hostile MAGA, and "nullification" will take on a whole new meaning

Why I left The Washington Post “Democracy Dies in Darkness” — but what if the lights are going out from within?

Holy crap. “That quest earned me a one-hour meeting in April 2024 with Will Lewis, the then-new publisher of The Post. During our discussion, he asked me: ‘What should The Post do to appeal more to Fox News viewers?’ glennkessler.substack.com/p/why-i-left...

I love BlueSky - great water cooler for gossip and occasional calls to action

But is there another site - Discord, Reddit, something new - where the resistance is organizing?

Is there a site where we're propsing making a database of ICE, coordinating resources, planning outreach?

That's not Bsky

This is an important point

We need to shun the existing media and find outlets that tell the truth,TPM is a great source

I know this is complex, issues with outreach, etc., but we quit pretending and be truthful about who our enemies are - NYT, FOX, MSNBC, WaPo, the rest

Start now to build better

Mamdani on Cuomo "conspiring" with Trump: "It is time for us to make clear that what this city deserves is a mayor who when he sees Donald Trump attacking the people of this city will stand up and fight back against that vision, who will not get on the phone with the architect of that vision."

Is it a great question, though?

There are two parties in the American system... one of them is Maga, the other, as the text says, isn't doing much to oppose

It's more like a rhetorical question, and since we know the answer then a great question would be "what should we do about it", seems to me

How do we get more of this?

This is great advice
The main thrust of Black Panther work was in community development and support
They were fearless in their opposition to corrupt governance

I would join an organization with these goals tomorrow - and dedicate large amount of my time and money to it's success!

Well, to be a stickler, there were several large corporations that announced they'd take the hit to their profit margin in the hopes that the tarrifs were transitory...
But in the long run, you're right

Any outlet doesn't have this exact reaction - with or without the obscenity - is really not worth listening or subscribing to

A dedication to the values of truth, social benefit and human flourishing generates this type of response

If someone isn't saying this, they don't have those values

Everyone has a duty to defend truth and freedom

It does make one unpopular at times - I'm still working on disagreeing without being disagreeable - but any enemies you make by calling out lies are the right kind of enemies

Chris Cuomo posting a deepfake of AOC the same week that Jim Acosta “interviews” a deepfake of a school shooting victim are both harbingers of how traditional media power players will help usher in the worst of the AI slop era
