Pluralism Now!

Radicalism and pragmatism are not enemies; they're strategies that are completely compatible with one another. When the state views you as an enemy, the pragmatic choice is to be radical in your defense of your liberty and pragmatic in your overtures to others to defend your liberty.

"There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people."
- Commander William Adama, Battlestar Galactica

GOP Rep. Bacon: "We made a mistake. We passed legislation that gave the president some temporary tariff authorities. I think we should look back and maybe restore the power back from Congress and take away the authorizations."

I disagree, because I think that effective resistance or opposition require an authentic love of political pluralism, and these types of acts undermine the value of political pluralism in it's alleged defense.

MAGA is divided. Real americans across the political spectrum know what is going on: Trump is weak and can't govern except as a tyrant. Look at what he does to churches that are just spreading God's word about migrants!

It takes 10 Democratic senators to force a caucus meeting and 24 to vote Schumer out of leadership with a vote of no confidence.

If you have Democratic senators, go to town halls or call and write them to ask them if they have confidence in Schumer's leadership. Publish the reply.

Housing really is a ‘decide if you want to win’ issue for the Democratic Party.

they’re arresting people for performing abortions, they’re deporting people for liking pro-palestine posts on social media, they’re sending immigrants to forced labor camps in south america, we are living under fascism right now

Are we sure that progressives don't run in geographies that have weaker democratic parties overall, and thus are subject to lower WAR scores as a result of a secular decline in dem party brand loyalty? I'm thinking about how inner cities have been redshifting for some time now...

Meanwhile over on the other place, rightwing free speech warriors (this guy is a former DeSantis campaign staffer) are calling for me to be denaturalized and deported because they don’t like my political speech. This is what fascism and racism looks like, folks.

it’s starting to look like the only democrats who don’t get this moment are the ~8 democratic senators who are seemingly going to approve the bill lol

Yes, there needs to be recognition that there's been a fundamental change in how we interact with information, and our current democratic systems are built around information systems that are losing their relevance. I feel like we're at the adapt or die point of democracy.

WE WANT NO ON CLOTURE. 7 YES = LOSS Dem leadership who have not taken a public position: Whip Dick Durbin (IL) — 202-224-2152 SPC Chair Amy Klobuchar (MN) — 202-224-3244 DDCS Brian Schatz (HI) — 202-224-3934 Outreach Chair Catherine Cortez Masto (NV) — 202-224-3542 Leaning yes: Angus King (ME) — 202-224-5344 Sheldon Whitehouse (RI) — 202-224-2921 Unknown: Maggie Hassan (NH) — 202-224-3324 Jeanne Shaheen (NH) — 202-224-2841 Mark Kelly (AZ) — 202-224-2235 Alex Padilla (CA) — 202-224-3553 Gary Peters (MI) — 202-224-6221 Jacky Rosen (NV) — 202-224-6244 Leaning no: Michael Bennet (CO) — 202-224-5852 Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE) — 202-224-2441 Martin Heinrich (NM) — 202-224-5521 Ben Ray Lujan (NM) — 202-224-6621 Raphael Warnock (GA) — 202-224-3643

My two cents: we don’t abandon the Democratic Party. We remake it. It’s a good party. It just has bad leadership.

The fight going on in the Democratic Party right now is not between hard left, left and moderate. It’s between those who want to fight and those who want to cave. And Team Fight stretches across all ideological aspects of the Party. Misread this at your own peril.

Election denial but woke is still election denial!

optimistic about what’s next

Democrat's biggest problem is lying about why they believe what they believe. Stop doing it. It makes you look like charlatans.

The whole Trump media approach is “all news is good news”, which is uhhh a principle I do not think extends to people’s fears about price hikes

it's going to be a long, long four years of watching potential 2028 candidates blow themselves up by being stupid or incapable of meeting the moment. We cannot settle for this politics. We have to fight for something better, more authentic, and more representative of where the base is at.

if this holds, it will be like the effect of 9/11 on plane hijackings. as soon as passengers learned that there was a chance of hijacker wanting everyone to die, they stopped wanting to cooperate as they did in the past

I am going to become the Joker

Trump was elected to a second term after being charged with multiple felonies, why are the Democrats still decorum humpers???

Keep representative Green, Primary the rest of them.

Rep. Zooey Zephyr - My Wife - just gave an incredible speech against a drag ban in Montana. It was so strong that a Republican rose to speak passionately against the bill, chastising the sponsor.

The drag ban dies in Montana, flips 10+ Republican votes!

This is the power of representation.

BREAKING: The University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University has reneged on their commitment to host the @sciencewriters.org annual conference and withdrew their entire financial support.

The National Association of Science Writers is now looking for a new venue, sponsors, and partners.

Standard 'I believe' resistlib meme, but with one of the lines replaced with "the American body politic must be purged of fascism and reaction with the purifying flames of a second reconstruction"

This will be resistlibs in 2026

More open borders and freer trade make us wealthy and free, no matter who is in power and who is not.

Democracy is sailing out into stormy waters from a protected bay. The future holds much larger threats than Trump, he is an ineffective and nonstrategic anti-democratic force compared to the threats we will deal with in the future. Now is the time to practice our skills and reform our ranks.
