Absolutely agree with the call. Don't let it get to Game 5

The Median Experience Of Tyranny If the politics of tyranny were self-discrediting, we wouldn't need mantras like "never again."

"We need to remind ourselves, constantly, that in the median experience of tyranny, life is largely unchanged. ...If we wait until the abuses become severe and widespread enough to register in our standard analytic tools, it will be too late."

I feel the same way. We got incredibly lucky that the zone didn't end up mattering last night. That was one of the worst umpiring performances behind the plate that I've seen in a while.

Our economy is almost certainly in a recession already. Data points like this are demonstrating just how bad things could get.

Over 50% of all economic spending is coming from the top 1% as well.

When this bubble bursts, it may make 1929 look like a blip.

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

Tim Walz: "My god, we've got the White House threatening investigations and jail time because an escalator stopped? Walk up the damn stairs!"

Let’s open our eyes. This isn’t a functioning democracy any longer when - in the middle of a high stakes funding fight - the President illegally suspends federal projects in states run by Democrats as a way to punish the political opposition.

It's worth noting that the Republicans control all three branches of government and the Dems literally couldn't pass a CR on their own. So anyone who writes anything about Dems being responsible is not only lying, they're doing it in service to this administration.

Good morning.

The government is shut down because Trump wants to act like a king and steal from you.

Democrats have no obligation to support a budget that funds the destruction of our democracy - and DOUBLES health premiums to fund a tax cut for billionaires.

That's the definition of fascism from Robert Paxton, one of the preeminent historians of the subject, from his book ANATOMY OF FASCISM which came out more than two decades ago.

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance

However, they are weaker than they look…

I'm annoyed with elected dems too, but can we direct this at Republicans as well? After all, they're the ones who saved him after 1/6 and are the biggest reason why this is happening.

“…Troops to protect war ravaged Portland”?

*walks outside to peaceful rain*

Huh…oooookaaaaay

What are we fighting over here? Too many micro breweries, artists, and copious amounts of Farmer Markets??

It was annoying enough to see this back in 2011-12, but at least back then I could somewhat get where it was coming from. Now, though?

There's really not anything else left to say at this point other than everyone in this country needs to oppose this.

So, Trump and the GOP want to shut the government down as an excuse to permanently alter Social Security and Medicare?

yeah they're just murdering random people on these boats

He illegally sent federal forces into DC to try and provoke a reaction that would give them cover to push further. It didn't work.

Now, he's targeting Portland for the same reason. The people of this country will not stand for this.

War ravaged Portland.

Democrats should never vote to fund a government that's waging war on its own citizens and firing officials *because* they insist on following court orders instead of breaking the law. Let Senate Republicans nuke the filibuster. None of this is normal and it shouldn't be treated as such.

If you needed any further proof that this administration never cared about just targeting "criminals" for deportation, here's the data that proves it.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Since when did universities become conservative? After all, the victimhood complex has become the center of all "conservative" thinking.

What's the point of them asking this if they aren't going to push people to choose? These numbers basically just represent how base voters feel about the parties on these issues right now.

We should leave the UN because an escalator stopped working and our out of shape President had to walk instead. You literally cannot make this shit up. These are the most fragile, weak losers I have ever seen.

If a government tells you that you can’t call it authoritarian, it’s authoritarian.

We've had multiple, high quality polls show the same thing in the past five days. It looks like the floor that he had is giving way. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/data

He’s been unhinged for a while, but what Trump has said over the past three days is easily the worst I’ve ever seen him. Less engaged voters would be absolutely appalled if they saw this stuff.

Totally agree with that.
