ah, perhaps instead of pumping millions into endless factional infighting Dem donors could invest in making local Dem organizations genuine civic spaces that can reach people during and between elections

AOC: "This is about, do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now? And they assignment is to come together across difference no matter what."

Really good episode

Yeah the Farmville voting location was a ghost town when I went this morning.

This is brilliant

I couldn't tell you how many times I've had to remind people I don't use fb anymore

Vladeck: Even if you accept the predicate that these drug cartels are foreign terrorist organizations, that still doesn’t get you anywhere close to legal authority to use military force. They’re trying to blur and sort of collapse the distinction between two regimes we have…

The people yearn for (democratic) socialism (this one will make you cry)

The problem with the Democratic Party is the same as with the Republican Party.

Money.

Republican donors spend money to gain total power.

Democrat donors spend money to maintain the corporate status quo.

Neither is beholden to the people or their needs — but only one is open about it.

This made me laugh harder than any comedy episode in the past three months

It's not lost on me that the part of the White House we are destroying is the part that has to do with women's history in the White House.

U.S. marshal and undocumented immigrant shot during ICE stop in Los Angeles, officials say

Both the U.S. marshal and the immigrant were shot by federal officers. You’d never know that from this headline.

THEY. ARE. GOING. TO. TRY. TO. KILL. YOU. ALL.

Nye: We are here to tell our lawmakers that what's going on in our government is
wrong. They must stop the abuses of this petulant president and his circle of sycophants. No thrones, no crowns, no king

Authoritarians fear only one thing: DEFIANCE‼️
