Text isn’t enough for some people, they need video. ProPublica’s got it. ICE are monsters!
@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov Stop thinking small. Use your powers. You can change things even in the minority. History shows it is possible.
Best point- The injustices of the Supreme Court lie to our faces and think we’re stupid.
If I ever feel hopeful that we might dislodge our dictator in the US, I then see a climate article like this to remind me that we blew our last chance at survival when we elected him in the first place. How can we possibly stop civilization ending climate change in time?
Waaaah! Waaaah! Save the baby from his dumbass decision. www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...
“It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of God.”
It’s too bad people never bother to think about unintended consequences. It’s just “new tech!shiny!”
The administration is speed running “forgetting with the passage of time”.
We live in an age of liars in so many ways. Sure, there are always liars but they have so much influence now. They get called out but more people *want* to believe their lies than care about the truth.

Attacking “this age of progressive, suicidal empathy” as the enemy reveals a fundamental problem: this isn’t a country with political differences. It’s a country with clashing worldviews. And we need to be more clear-eyed about who holds them. substack.com/@tadstoermer...
#iceout If the Dems have some backbone they can end ICE right now. Don’t negotiate fixes for DHS and ICE. Just walk away. Leave DHS in shutdown forever. @markey.senate.gov @warren.senate.gov @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @moulton.house.gov

#iceout #abolishice A very useful bit of history to better understand why the Democratic strategy in Congress at this time is such a disaster.

What is happening? Am I in bizzaro world? George Will is saying progressives are right and ICE needs to be abolished? (He says this at the end of his Ben Stiller in Ferris Bueller style 60 minute talk.)
@massgovernor.bsky.social The people of Massachusetts don’t want the wealthy to send us even deeper into climate disaster. The masses don’t need private jet expansion at Hanscom. Stop the expansion! Don’t let the wealthy dictate our future!
@housedemocrats.bsky.social Call for a general strike! Stop appeasing the authoritarian or we’ll be attacking Greenland next.
Russia’s invasion of Crimea was the start of WWWIII and the US has gone and elected a traitor who is aligning us with the wrong side. The future is terrifying.
A good historical perspective in this video on “failing to punish the confederacy”. The argument is that it was that what today we’d call the centrists betraying what today we’d call the progressives that got us where we are today.
A very interesting strategic point made in this video - by venerating the founders and washing away their sins as “just how people were at the time”, we are choosing to give the right a significant advantage in the fight over the future of the US. OUR intent matters, not the intent of dead enslavers
Ran across this old post from April. It’s funny - the left never managed to stop America from being imperialistic, the right did. Not because they wanted to, but because they are stopping it from being a SUCCESSFUL empire through stupidity.
Rules for thee but not for me… same as it’s been since the dawn of humanity #releasetheepsteinfiles C’mon someone, leak everything!
Interesting insight into Hollywood business models that simplifies down to the same issues the economy has over all - it’s all about making more money for billionaires at the top. Screw the actual business, the people who work in it, and its customers.
Tyranny of the majority is what the white and wealthy call letting the poor or oppressed ethnicities have a say
History will look back at the Russian invasion of Crimea in 2014 as the start of WWWIII. Just like WWII, democracies were too hesitant to stand up to the authoritarian. Their weakness was seen and exploited until they were forced into war. We don’t want war, but better to enter on our own terms.
I remember telling my congressman (Moulton) back in the day that ICE needed to be disbanded and getting some “centrist” response about why they needed to be kept. Not a good look now is it? The patterns should be obvious but there’s a failure of imagination & an “it could never happen here” attitude
We get told we DESERVE everything our way by advertising then act like children in every aspect of our lives - no wonder we elect children who tell us everything we want to hear and have no sense of responsibility.

It’s been many years since I read Howard Zinn’s people’s history. I’ve been seeing a lot of videos by Tad Stoermer who has a book coming out that seems in the same mold. Looking forward to reading it.
Logical plan this guy suggests. Call mass murders sheep because they’re all following a script. Both the traditional media & individuals on social media need to do a better job of not naming them. Erase them people from history, in the don’t give them attendance sense, & less people will copy them.
Besides the 2nd generation paragraph noted in the title, another choice statement is that the US’s advantage is not its people but its allies and a reliable currency. So of course Trump screws our allies and wants a yes man as Fed chair. We’ve got a President tailor made to destroy the US.
@schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social Insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different outcome. Chuck, Hakeem - CHANGE!
