EVERYDAY THAT CONGRESS SITS BACK AND REFUSES TO STAND UP TO DICTATOR TRUMP IS ANOTHER DAY YO WATCH THE DECLINE OF AMERICA. EVERYDAY THAT CONGRESS DOES NOTHING MAKES FASCISM STRONGER.

in the future you’re going to see a lot of liberals asking you to forgive and move on so the country can heal and it is your responsibility to say no

Excerpt of text from article, beginning with “In a Saturday thread” and ending with Palantir not responding to requests for comment.

If you all haven’t seen this article from WIRED… it’s a doozy. www.wired.com/story/palant...

Unless you are personally related to Schumer or Jeffries, THERE IS ZERO REASON for you to be in strangers' mentions getting into your feelings because they are being criticized. NO REASON. You need to regulate your feelings.

I don’t think we should make concessions to the Masked Murderers Guild of America. I don’t think we should compromise so the Masked Murderers Guild of America stops using kidnapped kids from schools as bait. I thought this was already illegal. The Masked Murderers Guild of America should not exist.

All the more reason to start organizing in advance before they come for the rest of us.

I am convinced this stage of ICE is a direct consequence of a decreasing national crime rate + a rapacious prison industrial complex that demands captives and increasing shareholder returns. The monster demands human sacrifice. We have been steadily building our own concentration camps.

I think Dems tend to be a bit parasocial with their politicians, which makes actual assessment of their failures difficult bc it feels personal. My point is that we should have been demanding more and doing more on all fronts. If we had, I don’t think we would be here now w/Trump.

*go to prison

Just be aware that it is clear the ruling class and the media is hoping this public wind-down lets them keep getting away with everything so people do not organize and crush their oppressors.

No, please tell me where I said anything about who I voted for and anything about my plans for the midterms. If you’re going to come in here making baseless claims, back them up with receipts. Oh wait, you can’t.

Yes!! If they ever get rid of DST I will riot. It’s bad enough that it’s cold and everything outside is dormant; early darkness is just salt in the wound.

@LauraLoomer So bizarre. Tucker Carlson has decided to spread the false rumor that I am a biological man. He and his brother call me “Larry” and are now using this rumor to sell their nicotine pouches online. Alp Pouch is Tucker’s nicotine pouch company. Isn’t this what Brigitte Macron sued Candace Owens for? How’s that lawsuit going?

Tucker Carlson is now "transvestigating" Laura Loomer

I say again, this does not even approach a scintilla of the accountability that is required. These are PR moves.

Are you hallucinating or do you think you’re talking to me?

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days.

His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

Lmaooo I mentioned a certain country in a reply, actually pretty neutrally, and it blew up with haters. That’s awesome and definitely not astroturfed.

Ma’am I said nothing about “the Jews” but go off I guess.

I never mentioned him? Just providing context for the original commenter. Y’all have too much time and read WAY too much into things. Get well soon.

Crockett takes Israel lobby money and votes accordingly. Sadly, I wouldn’t count on her to take you up on this.

Gotta maintain revolutionary optimism, man. The doomerism is literally the least helpful thing you can do. The world can be better. We make our own destiny. Get out there and be part of your local community. Or keep your weird determinism to yourself.

I think some of us sadly got too comfortable in the Obama years thinking progress was just inevitable, that we could sit back and let the govt handle it all, that voters would just increasingly move left as demographics changed. Turns out progress takes effort. Constant effort.

This is the way. Even some of the most revolutionary figures (good and bad) knew that engaging the political system is a worthwhile front in a much larger battle. The point is to understand that voting is not where politics ends but is the bare minimum. Vote and organize. Even when things are good.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.

We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

It’s fine, I think we need to have near-infinite grace on these things and not fight over silly things, but it is still really frustrating to see.

Okay I’m not going to die on this hill, but seeing people I know suddenly start posting on IG about how being silent on politics is unacceptable when they are the ones who have been silent… is frustrating. People who were secure enough that they should have spoken out before.

It can get lower!

Hopefully that will be an opportunity for a Lina Khan-esque figure to break up many, many of the tech monopolies. At the bare minimum.

A major political war will be fought in the (prob not distant) future over whether to bail out Oracle after the AI bubble blows it up

By then the Ellison fam will own tiktok & much of the media, including CBS News

This should be a litmus test question for all politicians: no bailouts for oligarchs
