there are a lot of reasons to want schumer out. but even if this is not a major issue for you, claiming that your role as leader during a fascist putsch is to preserve a policy favored by the fascist and opposed by your party's voters is disqualifying. schumer cannot continue to lead the democrats

Also called, "reporting". Roll tape of FOX reporters intimidating people.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

This is criminal, unconstitutional and *exactly* what all the β€œdon’t tread on me” crowd have been fearing their whole lives. Here we are. Your government in (tyrannical) action.

Journalist Don Lemon has been arrested after he covered a Minnesota church protest Journalist Don Lemon and three other people have been arrested in connection with an anti-immigration enforcement protest that disrupted a service at a Minnesota church.

Way more than NYT and WaPo's weak stories, @apnews.com devotes much of its Don Lemon arrest story to how it's an attack on the free press. (Should be higher up though.) apnews.com/article/don-...

There is no legal limit to the number of times a POTUS can be impeached. He can boost his historic high score!

Tell me more about this "free exercise" clause you are so on about. Is that in the First Amendment? The same one with freedom of the press?

Fast forward to the endgame: Isn't any applicable statute of limitations over for any cause of action related to the 2020 election? Laches? This is, of course, awful, but of what consequence can claiming up is down (now) really be? It's oxygen only to DJT's ego at this point. What am I missing?

This is a giant flashing alert with screaming klaxons that Democrats are holding a winning hand and Jeffries and Schumer need to press the advantage now. This is the moment.

@chrislhayes.bsky.social: What is unfolding in Minneapolis is their vision for the country. It is an authoritarian state that cuts immigrants from the national fabric. And paints anyone who resists as a β€˜domestic terrorist.’ And Americans hate it.

I for one am entirely willing to allocate $1B solely for the purpose of incarcerating Miller in the conditions he has imposed on others. Karma has deep pockets? Ok. Make it so.

The grift is the same as it ever was - take your percentage off the top outside US jurisdiction. Then, "ultimately" the money (less the grift) will end up in a separate discretionary account. Perfectly normal!

Of course. And that’s why Dems need to lean in and work towards dismantling ICE.
First no funding.
Impeach Noem.
Demand hearings on ICE’s operation in MN.
Demand that Miller resign.

Don’t let up.

Yes, and, although doubling the volume of mail in voting, how much *fraud* was there - actually? Hint: non-zero, but statistically insignificant. And almost all by Rs.

That's a new contender for "most out of touch with reality" take I've ever seen.

Hard no. If ever there was a time to reject "reform" it is now.

Congresswoman @ayannapressley.bsky.social has been trying to get qualified immunity eliminated her ENTIRE career.

What the fuck is it going to take to get people to listen to her?

I, again, invoke the wisdom of @audacityofdespair.bsky.social - in a free society, when They kill in Our Name, They are obligated to stand by the bullet(s). If a killing is just, it is just. If it is not, there must be full accountability.
