This is more or less where I am. Would I vote Mamdani in normal times? No. Would I support him over fascists and their throne-sniffing toadies? Fucking absolutely.

Nobody stopped Freddie Oversteegen to ask if she was a socialist when she was luring Nazis into the woods and killing them.

Still appalled at how paltry and terrible the NYT coverage of the protests were and how nobody there feels any responsibility to address the criticism. This was not something that caught them off guard. This was many levels of decisions.

The Actual Human Beings Caught in the Shutdown Vise There’s a reason so many people need help paying for their health insurance.

"For the foreseeable future, the only way to make comprehensive insurance widely available is to subsidize the heck out of it. Some people will find that objectionable. But they might want to remember that taxpayers are also people."

Roger Taney’s Contemporaries Hated Him As Much As You Probably Do Ordinarily, members of Congress do not publicly suggest that recently deceased Supreme Court justices are burning in hell. But Roger Taney was no ordinary Supreme Court justice.

I found it pretty charming to learn that after Roger Taney died, sitting lawmakers called his death a "victory for liberty and the Constitution," suggested that he was probably burning in hell, and joked (?) that they'd rather hang him in effigy than do literally anything to honor his memory

Hey this is not a moment to stay silent.

Oct 18th - No Kings Day - is our chance to show we won't accept the militarization of our citizens, the brazen corruption of the Trump family, and the destruction of our health care.

Find your local protest at nokings.org.

Chris Murphy: "This is a country that's falling apart because Trump is in the middle of an authoritarian takeover. We're not on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We're in the middle of it ... I have no moral obligation to vote for a budget that literally funds the destruction of our democracy"

Take a picture of yourself at the No Kings rally.

Print it.

Put it in a frame.

Your grandchildren will speak about you for generations to come. You took a stand against fascism. You stood up for democracy. οΏΌ

Martin Luther King being arrested.

Martin Luther King being arrested.

We had a respite from the government actively attacking protesters. That's over. During the 1960s protests we were routinely called communists, the media mostly hated us, and FBI monitored us. That's the normal for the US.

See you at No Kings on Saturday.

Mamdani: "I just want to speak directly to the president. I will not be a mayor like Mayor Adams who will call you to stay out of jail. I won't be a disgraced governor like Andrew Cuomo who will call you to ask how to win this election. I can do those things on my own."

It's really not about politics anymore. The apparatus of the Republican Party has simply become a haven for bad people.

Is He Lying Or Crazy? Does It Matter? Living in the world the president dreams up.

"No Kings is a protest against oppression & authoritarianism...I was pleased to attend our local No Kings gathering on June 14 and I plan on being there Oct. 18.

And I’m even more inclined to attend because of the desperate and disgraceful Trumpist smears."

Which Republican genius came up with the talking point to label millions of ordinary Americans peacefully protesting their government as paid Marxists who hate America?

That’s really what you are going with?

That we hate the United States of America?

I frequently say you don't need to protest. You don't! There are a thousand other ways to push back on fascism if protesting doesn't feel comfortable or safe for you!

But if you CAN go, this 10/18 #NoKings thing is really a key protest to participate in. Be part of it, friends.
