Right, the answer isn't to abandon the party to these weasels.
The answer is to flood the party with people who will take it over and transform it.
these are the dumbest people on earth.

if democrats want to retain any amount of integrity they need to immediately vote out chuck schumer as party minority leader

That means your Democratic senators need to hear from you right now.

A show of force so he can militarize our cities because of the 2026 elections.

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.
NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka.
I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasnβt breaking any laws.
Federal agent: βWe are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.β
Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and heβs giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens.
Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Letβs be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.
This is fucking horrifying.

Democrats have no obligation to provide the votes to fund the destruction of our democracy.
If you want my vote for a bipartisan budget, there need to be protections to stop Trump's brazen lawlessness.
This is the playbook, folks.
If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.
Do not be quiet in this moment.

We must condemn murder without sanitizing a man who built his empire on hate.
My latest piece.
Like yeah, I want to live in a world where I can not only be sorry my political opponents died, but also speak of them in reverence. But they have to fucking deserve that last part.
Our current right wing is hell bent on exterminating me and (probably) you. They donβt deserve reverence.
All death is a tragedy, and he shouldnβt have been murdered. He was also still a monster. Stop trying to convince yourself and the world otherwise.
