If justice and accountability are divisive or controversial, so be it.

Say the things that need to be said and say them loud.

Every Republican representative should be investigated for sedition and criminal conspiracy.

Full Blown Secession? Let's leave our collective pearl clutching at the door and take a moment to explore this academically.

This seems important:
"Not once in recorded history has a fascist leader or their party been democratically elected and then democratically removed from power through standard means."

Completely agree. SCOTUS is illegitimate and should be completely ignored imo

Can they? Well that's the question. They don't care about precedent, they care about enforcing single party Republican rule.

So will they do something blatantly unconstitutional to support "their side" gaining more power?

Seems likely to me, but everyone has to answer that one for themselves.

I'd love to hear YOUR predictions and hot takes on the following question:

SCOTUS just approved the Texas gerrymandered maps. What're the odds they strike down the Democratic gerrymandering in California?

My advice to Democrat leadership is this:

"Stop fundraising, stop taking corporate money, start supporting the policies that will actually help your constituents."

Do more of what you are meant to do.

It's in the job description.

Is the Heritage Foundation a domestic terrorism factory?

Maybe. I'm just asking questions.

How to Put Jared Kushner in Handcuffs What if I told you that one email, one phone call, and one social media post could help put Jared Kushner in handcuffs?

AG James, America needs you. Again.

Jared Kushner and his company Affinity Partners are in clear violation of the Martin Act and their crimes have crossed through Manhattan.

Please initiate an investigation.

But YOU & I must act to get it done.

Billionaires need to begin feeling the heat that results from their exploitations. Think French Revolution, but without guillotines. To work, Citizens!

Our federal government has been structurally captured in a way that even if Democrats win, they will be unable to enact the necessary structural changes and will appear useless
The feature, not the bug, is that progress comes in tiny and easily reversed increments while regression is rapid and agile

In what world is collaboration feasible under those circumstances?

Modern elected Republicans see it as an error to force Nixon's resignation.

They will never willingly give up power and we MUST understand that

The Republican Party Is a Transnational Criminal Organization Foreign governments and war criminals fund it, it serves their interests, and prosecutors must disband it, if it is not already too late.

@carmitage.bsky.social has a fascinating new article out that we all should be reading. The Republican Party is a transnational criminal organization.

It is 100% legal to send Mike Johnson’s DC office, located at mailing address:

H-232, The Capitol

Washington, DC 20515

Phone: (202) 225-4000

a congratulations card and on the inside of the card it says β€œCongrats on coming out! …As a gross traitor you weird little fascist gremlin!"

Mr. @carmitage.bsky.social brings the receipts, proving his contention. Our enemy is transnational; our response will need to be as well. The big question is not just, "What do we do?" but do we have the commitment to build the organization to do it?

We start as an organized, angry, but civil mob.

We do that often enough and politicians of all kinds will not have to discover their "spine"

We need them more afraid of the 99% than oligarchs or extremists.

First we form a mob, an angry but civil mob.

I think that's what it takes.

Useless strategy from the DNC would actually be a step above most of the actively harmful dancing they need to do to avoid upsetting their corporate donors.
