It’s funny to watch them shaking their impudent hands.

So many aloof campaign masterminds out there

Oh that’s very clear here

I live in NYC, where we're about to elect Mamdani for mayor. No Kings had our local activist groups seen a surge of new members, many of whom canvassed today for Mamdani and other progressives. We're working with Free DC to prepare for potential deployment of the National Guard. What are you doing?

I love this.

How many were before Harris gave up offering anything to the vast majority of Americans except "I'm not Trump?" Because she started strong and then slowly backed off the price controls, hid Tim Walz, stopped calling MAGA "weird", and worse wouldn't break with Israel. That's on her.

No, Obama did all those things. You can find them widely reported. I guess "young" is subjective but otherwise those are straight facts.

Our highway viz crew is it at again with a special electoral message for BK drivers!

The first honest American president Trump's shameless corruption is not a deviation from American history but its fulfilment.

It's for this reason that I find accusations of cynicism lobbed at me for writing essays like this one, for example, to be missing the point. It's a fundamental optimism, rooted in realism rather than liberal disavowal, that motivates critiques like this.

Only then can we truly begin the work of reconstruction—not by appealing to a liberal moral order that no longer exists, but by building new forms of solidarity, care, and shared material life that can give appeals to democracy actual substance.

legitimacy, and ethical coherence as something to be averted rather than something we have already lived through. To move forward, and to meaningfully resist fascism, we must confront that breakdown directly: to feel it, name it, and take responsibility for what has been lost and what must be done.

As the psychoanalyst DW Winnicott observed, “fear of breakdown” is not a fear of some future collapse but of one that has already occurred and remains unacknowledged. Much of American liberal politics still operates within this denial—treating the disintegration of civic trust, institutional...

criticism of liberal failures that brought us here is essential, they say. What this allows US liberals––from never-Trump GOP figures to the Democratic Party leadership––to evade is the fact that the collapse of democracy has already happened.

🧵 A classic psychoanalytic phenomenon, "fear of breakdown," helps convey why it's essential––if we're to beat back fascism––to understand Trump not as the cause of democracy's destruction but rather as a symptom of it. We are on the edge of the breakdown of democracy, liberals say. Unity, not...

It’s ridiculous to see the decline in trans kids coming out as anything other than them repressing due to fear. And that is what the GOP wants. They want conformity. A few may actually believe in the contagion theory but most just want queer people ashamed as they are by their own desires.

Obama is younger than most Democratic senators. He spun his presidency into becoming quite wealthy after many of his policies - bailing out the banks, refusing to prosecute Dubya for war crimes, legalizing drone strikes - set the stage for Trump. So yeah he owes us.

Stopping Project 2025 wasn’t the goal of No Kings. You’re judging it by a goal you invented for it. The goal was to change the narrative around Trump having unchecked power, demonstrate mass disapproval of the regime and engage the public. It did all of those things.

He’s a former president who is young, wealthy and charismatic. Even doing more rallies or rallying for congresspeople in purple states; getting people excited and enthusiastic. Media blitz confronting Trump’s fascism head on. Who would turn down Obama?

If they want to behave like the Court of Louis XVI, the French showed us how to respond.

I hate it here. Most people on food stamps are white. I grew up on food stamps.

What he said: 💯 🎯

Same - this is a fascist breakthrough with virtually no opposition party.

I watched an extensive deep dive take down of her by a trans woman and she is definitely a narcissistic sociopath. She will definitely try to glom on to some other group.

This part.

I’m with Katelyn. There is no penance she could pay. It’s not just trans women she’s stabbed in the back - though that’s the grossest betrayal. She’s an awful person.

He’s grotesque.

Be very clear when you talk about this with people: the core of this conflict is that Democrats want Americans to be able to afford healthcare… and Republicans don’t.

Even Trump was surprised he won. If only NBC had brought back the Apprentice…

This is the story of my life - perpetual invitations to events that I would love to attend but have a conflict

yes, this is the actual purpose of policing.
