This is what courage looks like. Bravo and thank you @repyassansari.bsky.social.

Only authoritarians win in war; we must find ways to be in solidarity with freedom fighters that enable their liberation.

You know what will allow us to KEEP DEFEATING the regime, which includes shifting those who collaborate with it? Doing all of those above things. Yes of course we need to vote - and that vote must come with a very clear message. Our vote is a demand to Free America from this regime.

You know who won yesterday? People who have been protesting & mutual aiding & rapid responding & boycotting: it is those actions that helped shift views on ICE/DHS & with it eject Dem collaborators w regime in NC & shift others running toward the correct position that there is no "reforming" evil.

If what it takes for Republican elected leaders to locate a basic modicum of decency is to retire well...win/win.

It's acceptable, admirable even, for elected officials to evolve their views as they learn more. More admirable still are leaders whose views are driven by a true moral compass, pointed not where polls lead but rather where decency dictates.

Look at the level of commitment and resolve voters of color have to exercise their most fundamental freedom.

MAGA wants to keep people from voting so they can control the outcomes of elections. #HandsOffOurVote

From the Fight for $15 to Hot Labor Summer: Working Class Wins to Win Over the Working Class - Words to Win By As Democrats struggle to connect to the working class, working people are connecting to each other to win better wages and working conditions. In 2012, the Fight for $15 and a Union launched as 100 fa...

This was the time when Republicans were clearly on side of bosses and Democrats staked out side of labor - defending and expanding unions, the only durable counterweight to authoritarianism in the economic realm which is how it takes over the political realm.

There was a time, long ago, when Democrats didn't just have a lock on working class votes, voting Democratic was core to working class identity. This was when FDR was telling robber barrons he welcomed their hatred and Dems made clear there are absolutely sides.

Third Way et al have made a, to be fair, defensible fetish of courting "working class" voters. Trouble is, those voters are figuring out it's the brokeness not the wokeness that's fucking them over. Third Way is trapped on a dead end street.

First, they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they fight you by pretending to have always held your position. Then you win.

We can and should support the Iranian people's heroic efforts against their authoritarian regime and at the same time also recognize that only authoritarians win in war. Solidarity to all people bravely battling regimes hell bent on destroying our lives to seize and hold power.

The Epstein Regime doesn't just attack the working class here and around the world, they demand we fight the wars they instigate.

Epstein, ICE and war on Iran are all driven by the same agenda: to attack and destroy anyone who does not look, pray or live like the MAGA Murder Regime deems worthy.

DO name specific villains, creating a large β€œus” and a small β€œthem.” 
β€œMAGA regime/Trump regime”
β€œIranian government/Iranian military”
β€œIsraeli government/Israeli military/Netanyahu”

DON’T use β€œIran,” β€œIsrael” or β€œAmerica” to shorthand a government, military or ruling faction. Specify the leadership is responsible for these atrocities and the war, not the people who live in these countries.

DO call for Congress to pass the resolutions already in the House and Senate to end this war.

DON’T call the act the β€œWar Powers Act,” despite this being the official name. To laypeople this makes it seem as though we seek for Congress to declare war, instead of end it.

DO emphasize outcomes - how this threatens the lives of everyday people around the world and the safety of our families here at home. We need Congress to end the war, not to authorize it. 

DON’T emphasize process - how Trump violated the Constitution by bypassing Congress. Our goal is to have Congress stop the war, not have it proceed under an officially approved process. 

DO call this action by Trump β€œcriminal.”

DON’T call this action β€œillegal.” It is illegal to speed, it is criminal to murder. Our arguments should focus on life and liberty for all people.
