I miss theology Sharon!

This is honestly I think one of the things you should be most cognizant of in your messaging.

We got here and remain here because too many people think that bad things, really bad things, simply cannot happen.

And yet, we cannot also fall to the despair of doom. Do not credit unearned victories.

You see, in American culture there's this concept called "face" which is culturally quite important. This may be an effort by the Trump administration to "save face".

Woody from the "hollup...let him cook" with "cook" replaced by "be clear"

me when Obama pops out telling people to get in the streets and universities to stop caving

I think he prefers them in white

Folks: DEMOCRATS PLEASE DO SOMETHING! ANYTHING!!!

Booker: does a thing that gets a lot of attention and gets people excited and worked up and inspires people to fight and maybe convinced Schiff and others to block Trump appointments

Folks: not like that

what booker is doing right now is an example of what i mean when i say things like “we need more ambition right now.” there is room in american politics right now for people with ambition to take big stands and reap the rewards. he’s doing it!

"If America hasn't broken your heart, you haven't loved her enough."

Corey Booker, just now.

This reminds me of Norm MacDonald's bit on hypocrisy youtu.be/_9wLAFuAi4U?...

But he proved that (subject to certain conditions) there will always be true statements that aren't provable. It's about limits of provability not truth per se.

Rubio says El Salvador offers to accept U.S. deportees of any nationality, including violent American criminals Secretary of State Marco Rubio says “there are obviously legalities involved” in Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele’s offer to accept and jail violent American criminals.

Any sense of when it will be public?

Do you reply to comments?

Anecdotal, but I'm definitely noticing an uptick in advocacy for violence here. About which I'll say only this: Promoting violence on social media is the work of trolls and fools, those eager to bait others into implicating themselves in the age of surveillance or fools rushing to the gulag.

Every person on Bluesky should know:
* Every post on Bluesky is PUBLIC forever
* Every post on Bluesky is archived by ICE, NSA, and many other agencies
* Even if you delete a post, it’s already been captured
* Judges don’t care if you were “kidding” or being ironic

Schumer's whole plan, in his words, is "I am focused on bringing Trump’s numbers down, his popularity down, exposing what he has done to America and what he will do," but when asked about specifics like Columbia & Khalil, he leaps to Trump's defense while admitting he doesn't even know the details.

one thing i keep thinking about is how there is simply no way to design a constitutional system that can resist authoritarian incursion if participants in that system do not actually care that much

I'm reminded that trump also signed an executive order declaring "antifa" a domestic terrorist organization

leftists versus liberals is the single worst way to spend our energy right now send tweet

/2 My particular view is that we have a simultaneous surge of (1) classic anti-Semitism — hatred of Jews as Jews (2) reckless employment of classic anti-Semitic tropes in political discourse, and (3) bad-faith portrayal of all criticism of Israel as anti-Semitic. It’s a hideous mess.

There's legitimately blood in the water at this point. Keep attending Tesla protests. Post about it. Solidify the brand's association with Nazi incels.

Whenever anti-trans panic gets whipped up, more of these stories happen.

Rep. Al Green of Texas stands up and tries to call out Trump. But Republicans push back and yell "USA! USA! USA!" But Green is not backing down.

Al Green stood up. Would like to see more people stand up.

Rep. Al Green is a goddamn hero.

Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) just heckled Trump, standing up, shaking his cane at him and telling him, “You don’t have a mandate!” Republicans almost immediately drowned him out with “USA, USA, USA” chants. Green has left the chamber.

Trudeau: I want to speak first directly to the American people… your government has chosen to do this to you. Your government has chosen to put American jobs at risk. They have chosen to raise costs for American consumers on everyday essential items…

You know what would be really cool? A system of government where the whims of the head of state could be constrained by some kind of parliament or legislature, or there were some kinds of “checks” or “balances” that ensured that one person didn’t simply get to dictate how the government worked
