How Americans Are Blocking Trump’s Militia Ordinary people in forgotten places are standing between families and fear.

Bear witness. Film what you see. Share the truth as power lies. Connect with the local food banks, faith & activist networks, & mutual-aid groups already standing with immigrant families.

The regime's desire for authoritarianism is bottomless, but their capacity is not. Not even close.

They rely on bluster and memes to make up the difference. The threat is real, but less powerful than they say.

Freedom-loving Americans outnumber them by a lot. Communities can resist. Like this one:

When I watched the delivery bike rider getaway, I thought most Americans would instinctively root for the guy being chased by a gang of people in masks.

OP said “young,” not “left of center.” Besides, “hard right on the border” (whatever that means) vs “we’re going to kick every immigrant out” shouldn’t have been a hard choice.

Biden tried to forgive your student loans (and di managed to to discharge a lot). Harris had a plan to help you buy a house. What policy were you looking for?

I think you're overlooking the "right now" part of that statement. If he's willing to accept not starting for the next 2 years, there's no telling what his role will be once the Big 3's contracts are up. Turner also said "that doesn't mean that it can't work, or it's not OK for the time being."

It’s never been more clear that every accusation was a projection. Everything they claimed we were doing to them (but we weren’t) they’re trying to do to us.

I'm seeing some people post this and not realize this is PART of the radicalization. Building an audience from reasonable sounding videos and converting them into the pipeline. Weiss is doing this now as I get The Free Press ads about things like "low tech parenting" and workout fads.

Has this Supreme Court said no to Trump about anything yet? Anything at all? Even something insignificant, just to create the appearance of not being entirely partisan?

Begging the goddamned media to stop using the word “crackdown“ to describe what Trump is doing. There is no crackdown going on. This is not about crime. It’s an authoritarian takeover of the federal government.

It's awfully nice that so many pretty Asian women want to make sure I eat a good breakfast.

As a native of the DC area, I feel sorry for them having to work outside dressed like that. It says it got up to 80 today, which is actually not bad for DC in August but still not vest over long sleeved shirt and long pants stuffed into boots weather.

YES YES YES, FINALLY PEOPLE ARE GETTING IT. A hardcore, energized base wins over people in the middle. Read this entire article. This is why liberals have been losing: they've been listening to quants who obsess over median voter opinion and ignore social dynamics. renewal.org.uk/blog/why-lab...

Behold how badly our political journalists have lost the freakin' plot - PressThink I read hundreds of bylined works of journalism a week. Every so often one of them forces me to go back and read it over and over...

I will refer once again to Jay Rosen's "cult of savvy" idea. They see themselves as connoisseurs of the political game and focus on who's playing it best. Showing any concern about the effects of the players' actions outside the political arena makes you a naive rube. pressthink.org/2014/02/beho...

I heard a U2 song I liked and asked the guy at the record store if he knew which song had the chiming guitars. I guess I could have asked for the one with the dramatic vocal.

I saw it on the plane, and it did its job perfectly well.

“a sense of power, belonging, and status”—sounds like why people join gangs.

Goddammit I read this whole thread ready to defend the musical genre.

I look at a rightwing forum sometimes. They almost never talk about good things being done for the country; it's all about how they're owning the libs or how the Democrats are losing. Their grievances are all they have.

Republicans complain about Texas Democrats “fleeing”—yet just days ago, they themselves fled D.C. to avoid voting on the Epstein files.

Why? To protect a convicted felon sitting in the Oval Office.

One side dodges accountability.
The other fights for democracy.

Motherfucking wind farms…

They also used to tell you but to answer unknown numbers or email because then they know it’s a live number/address. I worry that replying Stop does the same thing.

But Gazans have not been protesting Hamas rule on a frequent basis, so they're to blame anyway, according to your standards. Collective punishment is right in line with your philosophy.
