This is egregiously false. They immediately gave unanimous consent as soon as Booker yielded the floor. They are absolutely not using every procedural tool at every turn. Lie better, damn.

The outcome I want is literally for them to use every procedural tool they have at every turn. That’s it. That’s my ask. It’s not hard, just admit you know—as one of them—they don’t have the capacity to meet this moment.

Corey Booker voted this afternoon to keep sending bombs to Israel, which is much, much more meaningful and important than a speech about values, even if it did last 25 hours.

I am not a “do something” person. I have very explicit asks, and I reserve the right to complain, shout, weep, gnash teeth, and rend garments when those feckless fucks refuse to act.

Asking them to use every procedural tool at their disposal at every turn is asking for the Dems to start a civil war????

Hope this helps, sweetcheeks bsky.app/profile/liam...

Additionally, whether they’ve done it or not has absolutely no bearing on whether someone is giving them cover for not doing so.

They’ve slowed down, dragged their feet, gummed up the process? At EVERY turn? Have they?

Yeah, and they'll all just buy the dip and come out richer on the other side—however long that takes.

The system is set up so that they can never lose—that's what the rest of us are for.

YES EXACTLY AND THEY SHOULD BE DOING THAT AND PEOPLE GIVING THEM COVER FOR NOT ARE CONTEMPTIBLE PEICES OF SHIT

With longstanding respect, mental illness does not make people fascists, transphobes, racists, misogynists, or MAGA.

Pinning this on mental illness would only further stigmatize those with mental illness—who already suffer disproportionately under fascism.

This thread is over a month old. They have told us, for years and in no uncertain terms, what their plans are. And we ignored them to our own peril.

Why crash the economy? CONTROL.

Yarvin: "No, this is not the right way to run the whole economy permanently... But.. it is the right way to reboot the economy. Flattening the financial system this way makes it much easier to control crime, of course—and also, any kind of antigovernment activity."

On Yarvin's intent to crash the dollar: "If you have paper money, bring it to a bank this week. Next week, it is just paper.
Whatever you had, you have dollars in the Fed. And the Fed owns all financial assets. Your house is sold to the Fed at the Zillow price. Your mortgage is now rent."

This is why we don't have "years" to respond. Yarvin's end-game is to capture and dismantle educational institutions WITHIN MONTHS of the inauguration.

If we take Yarvin seriously, and we should, the current DEI-blitz is just a cover for an attempt to literally capture and destroy ALL educational institutions except for "a few laboratories", which means that trying to fire a few "DEI" employees or change the names of offices WILL NOT BE EFFECTIVE.

Yarvin on destroying education: "Apart from a few.. laboratories in..chemistry, medicine and biology, mathematics, materials science... none of the educational establishment, from kindergarten to grad school, needs to be preserved. Even the brand names of the institutions can be cancelled."

Eliminating non-right-wing media: "Even after the irreversible corporate liquidation of all their bases, nests and hives, the journalists remain as a capable, if temporarily disorganized, army in the field. After their initial defeat by sovereign force, they must be finished off by market forces.."

"The old regime must be dissolved as fast as possible, which means that the President must establish unilateral control over the whole state as fast as possible—ideally creating entirely new mechanisms for command, control, and signaling across the entire fabric of state order."

Sounds like DOGE..

"And yet, nobody needs to get shot.. While there are many things to say against a government running on a soft currency, the power to print money sure makes it easy to run a regime change. All the civil soldiers of the old regime...can be severed very gently from their positions.."

"At most a week of Covid-style lockdown should be enough to secure the new regime—not only are the Americans of today, especially the blue-state ones, no Minutemen, but unlike most historical urban populations they do not even know how to be a mob.."

"Signaling the sovereignty of the new regime is especially important. There is a reason that the classical 20th-century coup heads straight for the TV tower. A regime change must first become visible—it must feel like an earthquake..."

"The new President will not just take over the federal government—but also state, local and tribal government. Moreover, inasmuch as he finds any organization, public or private, to have become a de facto state agency, he will nationalize and restructure it.."

Yarvin: "The new President will ... govern like a conquering enemy general—using direct command of the police to maintain public stability as he spins up a totally new executive branch, run like a startup with startup-quality people."

Yarvin: "The first job ... is to entirely liquidate the old, unconstitutional administrative branch—not to reform the state, nor to eliminate the state, but to replace the state—while it is running, without any turmoil or disorder. While not easy, this is easier than most people think."

"..American voters have only one realistic option. They need to elect a President who clearly states his intention and preparedness to take over the entire American government, assuming plenary power—not just in response to any specific event or emergency, but immediately upon his inauguration.."

Hi, hello. In order to grasp the significance of Trump crowning himself a King, you have to understand that he is literally carrying out a plan crafted by Curtis Yarvin, a right wing extremist, to overthrow democracy and replace it with dictatorial rule by a monarch-CEO.

Y’all are doing so much work for the admin by attempting to distinguish one innocent amongst a mass deportation. They were all innocent under the law, they were all denied due process, the outrage should be equitable towards every illegally deported individual or it’s trash.

I think one mistake people are making is thinking about job cuts in terms of direct cuts to the federal workforce. But lots of industries that have federal grants and contracts, private employers, have slashed their workforce. Johns Hopkins slashed 2000 jobs. Research shops have laid off 1000s..

ChatGPT consumes so much water and energy each week that it could power entire countries for YEARS and folk act like you told them to kill their selves cause you want them to write their own emails and not to steal art. 😂
