What Trump is saying:

1. Jews are generally ok as long as they are good Jews; my kind of Jews; Jews who know their place

2. If a Jew gets out of line, he becomes a much worse thing; a lesser type of human: a Muslim Palestinian

It’s borderline criminal.

Political cartoon. Rep Al Green, D-Texas standing up and pointing his cane yelling "HE DOES NOT HAVE A MANDATE TO CUT MEDICAID!"

In the lower corner are two people hiding behind round signs. One reads "Civility!" and the other says "Did he not get the sign memo?"

Instead of alienating Rep Green, the Democrats should have heckled trump one at a time and forced the chair to throw them each out individually. It would have entirely overshadowed the previously scheduled propaganda. That's what it would look like to resist.

Last night I stood up for those who need Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security. Democrats will never abandon the fight to make sure every American has a safe, healthy, and financially secure life. #ISaidWhatISaid

ActBlue, the Democratic Fund-Raising Powerhouse, Faces Internal Chaos At least seven senior officials have left the group, setting off deep concerns about its future as it confronts scrutiny from congressional Republicans.

Last week an article about Dem campaign software NGP VAN crumbling & this week ActBlue is in disarray. This is not the time for our digital infrastructure to collapse - is anyone running the Democratic party? This is not the time to play dead, lay low or get sloppy.

All the Democrats should boycott and hold a funeral, complete with a coffin, mourning the Death of the Union. Do it in the Washington Mall and invite the rest of the country to come in black and mourn

Dr Teresa Borrenpohl, a local Democrat who had previously run for office, was dragged out of a Republican Town Hall in zipties by a private security firm in all black clothing who had 'volunteered' to 'secure' the event. She had been heckling the speaker aka using her right to free speech. #activism

I caught the live cabinet meeting earlier today, and it was just surreal. Trump can't finish sentences, makes blatantly false claims, and he keeps going back to how many votes he got. And around the table, everyone smiles and nods like he's a giant temperamental toddler they are afraid to upset.

Opinion | James Carville: The Best Thing Democrats Can Do in This Moment There’s nothing Democrats can legitimately do to stop Trump, so we need a tactical pause in our fight to plan for the future.

Wow, let's all thank James Carville for his example of uninspiring leadership and victim mentality. Seriously, this play dead "strategy" answers so many questions - like how did we get here? Doesn't anyone on the left have a plan to save us? (No, apparently)

β€œA Chilling Effect”: A New York County Faces Federal Threats for Not Complying with ICE - Bolts This article was published in collaboration between Bolts and New York Focus. Central New York’s Tompkins County, home to Ithaca, found itself in the federal government’s crosshairs last month when......

This is clearly all bluster, except that it serves as proof that activist and resistance isn't a waste of time. Sure, it gives him a target but I'd rather the headlines be about resistance than not. boltsmag.org/new-york-she...

Love the unintentional #Ithaca shoutout in this article about an ICE raid in northern NY- border 'czar' Tom Homan says, "sanctuary cities have made the work of finding ... migrants harder." #SactuaryCities are important. Resistance-at-work

Prepped for the rally in downtown Ithaca today at 2pm, I hope it's packed despite the freezing temps. #ithaca #ice
