Wxactly the point - no one ESPECIALLY the courts are coming for us - and these bozos waive a court order they waive ar-15s
So thw natl guard is t reporting to teump amd marines arw ofd the streers?
Capitulating is hard work
Stop the presses: tomorrow's headline: "ICE raids continue unabated."
And he sure as shit didn't do it with the yard signs and protests.
I'm so glad you can tow the party line along with the rest of the other idiots who lost to this fucking moron. Thoughts and prayers thoughts and prayers. Here's an idea shut the fuck up
One thing is for certain: you never know how much you love something until you lose it. 🇺🇸😪
To everyone who says what can we do? This and so much more like this
If you don't think this is what it's going to take it's time for you to get out of the way
Apologies for this being late, but public service announcement: your camera shoots videoss, marines shoot bullets. As you are.
Next Democratic president! Next president😂😂😂😂😂
I appreciate that red line Drew in Syria then nearly a half million more Syrians died, I appreciated the promise to close Guantánamo Bay, so glad it's still open for Trump to put immigrants in. If we continue to hold our leaders to different standards than theirs what's the point?
Where is the fight in the fight? If I had a nickel for every time someone said F Trump we could've single-handedly paid for all of Ukraine's weapons. Where is the fight in us? The biggest con job wasn't Trump it was the dims convincing us they'd fight for more than just job security.
Shut down Guantánamo Bay, no. Proposed Conference immigration, no. Ended warrantless wire taps, no. Expanded the Pfizer program, yes. Issued maintained and continues to hold Edward Norton as a criminal of the state, yes. No he wasn't a king you're absolutely right
My apologies for the AutoCorrect, Jasmine, that last sentence implies you think there's room for violence anywhere in democracy. Surely that's not your position?
So we've been doing these protests for five months, what grade do we give ourselves? Like let's check: ICE, stronger than ever; Trump, stronger than ever; Supreme Court, corrupt as ever; Israel, both committing genocide and starting a global war preemptively; Ukraine, abandoned… Protests work y'all
As soon as you tell me where each of those candidates stands on the genocide and Gaza.
Breaking: none of this matters one single bit. None of it.
No more little nuggets of good news, no more tea leaves of optimism, can we make this finally the actual resistance channel where we talk about underground railroads, how to hide people effectively, what we can do legally, always legally, to disrupt anything and everything, and admit we lost
It never dawned on me that half the kids I went to high school with 30 years ago and all passed US government but were lying their entire lives. The T-shirt should now read "the south DID rise again."
This has to be the day of the world ended right. Iran in Israel escalating, a president throwing himself a military parade, political assassinations at the state level, and the military are arresting US citizens. I'll give the South one thing at least they actually fought back.
Thoughts and prayers, right senator? Thoughts and prayers? You literally had tougher talk for Senator Franken. Is there anybody that's not totally terrified of Trump on Capitol Hill?
Marc, I wouldn't discourage anyone from exercising their constitutional right to protest. However, I'm not sure tomorrow is a protest for families and picnics. We've already seen what they're going to do, they're just gonna do it in 2000 different places on Saturday. Let's be smart and safe.
Won't hold you to it, best guess of a timeline for a dirty bomb go!
Which is why I ask again where are our billionaires? Bill, Warren, Mark: any employee that is fired for protesting you will immediately subsidize their income until they are hired by another company. Just the threat alone. All that money and they couldn't buy a single testicle between them
I think the question we have to be prepared to answer for ourselves before tomorrow morning is, are we ready for what comes next? He's determined to show the world when it comes to his own country he's no TACO. So this is it isn't it? We protest, he cracks down… Now what? #NoKingsDay
Well now I have like legit respect for you because there's no such thing as a port of a tabletop game; it's the human interaction you idiots! The word "grind" was never part of the lexicon when we played IRL.
All I know is that protests sure seem to be an American birthright when it was white men demanding they not be drafted for an unjust war, but once we got that fixed, protest seems more of an afternoon hobby. The largest protest in the world EVER was against the Iraq war in London.
I think you're totally right where I'm so befuddled is when the French think they're having to work five hours too much a week the whole country shuts down, even Brazil is holding Bolsonaro accountable, if they really are more of us than them then are we just chickenshit?
You may very well be right. But until we've explored all, not just one, peaceful measures I won't be picking up a gun.
You're right because protesting is definitely kept those things from happening I don't read about them every single day at all. But definitely let's keep up with this strategy I think we're really making a difference.
Violence is always the last option. But where is Warren Buffett, where is Bill Gates, where is Mark Cuban? I count up at least $3 billion alone that means nothing to them they could organize 10 million Americans to shut down the federal govt. Literally. Do we really value our liberty this little?
I don't understand, sincerely. LA protested, the National Guard was called in, a Senator protested, marines are now deployed, are rebuttal: more protests! Where is our ethical responsibility to those we are encouraging to put their lives on the line now?
“US Regime Deploys Troops, Arrests Citizens, and Detains Opposition Amid Mass Pro-Democracy Protests” What if we wrote about events in Trump’s America in the way that Western media describe African and Middle Eastern countries? Brilliant stuff, from @premthakker.bsky.social
I guess I don't understand the point of these posts? He should be rotting in jail for what he did, instead he's rolling in a Qatar 747, I feel like I'm standing next to people watching a barn burn down but there's a hitching post inside that hasn't caught fire yet so we're all high-fiving.
Rach, one question: in the last eight months have you or your wife bought property outside the United States? I just need to know how scared I should be.
Does Corey Booker's 24 hour filibuster of nothing count? That's my only fear, without any sarcasm, is that there's some mythical to do list for every Democrat that includes stand behind microphone and act tough - check; what's next oh fundraisers.
I can't tell if he's a senator or just a hologram for the well of the Senate. Oh action items: hunger strike, Gandhi; non-violent protest, Martin Luther King; hammering 95 demands to the office door of Mike Johnson, Martin Luther; just a few thoughts, you know acts that changed the world forever.
But haven't we already had five months of "truth bombs" while the people of Gaza have had two years of real bombs? Or the people of Ukraine or people all over the world, can you quantify for me or even qualify the value of a truth bomb these days?
I know you're talking in like good political shorthand and I'm sorry I don't follow the jargon as well. No tone here at all and if it was critical by all means that's everyone's right I just didn't understand it so I thought only if you want to...
OMG
So this is the platform for Democrats, yet the architects of the two greatest democratic fiasco's won't even show their faces here: Jen O'Malley Dillon, and Robby Mook. You know what they have in common, they both got their asses kicked in 2008 by Obama. Who knew failing up was also a dem's right!
Where is his QR code finally somebody I can contribute to!
I wonder if Republicans think that just because we hate guns we don't own them?
Oh my gosh boy did they throw the book at her. I mean this is definitely leadership in the face of military deployment on American streets. You go dims you make us more and more proud every day
Hey Pete, why don't you send out a fundraising letter right now asking us to pay for your tix to LA or any city of you're choosing so you can help organize the protests I mean you're running for president, wouldn't you like to look presidential? Would any democrat?
What is this even mean? It's June 13, for 5 1/2 months all I've heard is "hold them accountable" but it seems the only people being held are our senators in handcuffs. Palpatine was a less vicious ruler. Honestly Pete where the fuck are you where the fuck are our leaders?
But what are the next 10 words? You stand with him I stand with him but I didn't see anybody standing up to get in the way of those fascists? From Bartlett to me what are the next 10 words or more importantly what's the one thing you're actually going to do?
The pen may be mightier than the sword, but political theatre certainly isn't mightier than zip cuffs and federal agents
At least in the Democratic Party failing up isn't the privilege of just white men, it's also the privilege of white gay men and white women!
In case I've missed out on anything in the last 4 months let me just see: Mass deportations, tariff yo-yo, debt ceiling raised but does that seem a long time ago, and probably 96,000 other attrocities. 983 fundraising emails. Jen O'Malley and Robby Mook multimillionaires. Did I miss anything?
I reactivated my account for one purpose and one purpose only and I hope whoever is still connected to me can forward it on to the powers that be. Any fundraising request from any Democrat I get I will post, and then we can just keep a nice tally of how much our party cares about "privacy"
put it in the chyron hall of fame
Hey everyone, you want your voice heard, you don't think our leaders are paying attention to you? Try this number 1-718-666-3141, AOC is using peer to peer texting which means every reply is read by a real person. Got something to say to AOC Text it to this number.
thanks man
You take me to the finest places Eddie!
The U.S. Department of Labor is organizing a protest. Elon Musk’s staff will be present at the Frances Perkins Building in Washington, D.C., today at 4 p.m. It was mentioned that staff should plan to stay late after the 4 p.m. meeting to assist with setting up Elon Musk staffers into their systems.

I know this is neither the time or the place, but are zombies like a specific subset of ghouls? Ghouls are reanimated corpses that feed on the living; zombies, ditto but can only eat brains?
FINALLY
Better than a strongly worded letter. Not as good as articles of impeachment. (Yes, I know they don't have the votes to impeach. Doesn't mean they shouldn't be drafting articles every day over & over again. They don't have the votes to pass this legislation either, but the ACTION is what matters."
The start of week three:
I was just outside the Treasury Department where Elon Musk has launched a full scale authoritarian takeover. My message to Musk is simple: get your hands off our money and get the hell out.
I'm starting to think making a rocket might be easier than we all say.

AGREE. Pantheon. Don't be put off by the animation it takes a Black Mirror idea and expands upon it in the most profound way. Story plus immersion I go Pantheon over Arcane. However, if haven't watched Arcane, and aesthetic is your jam then Arcane all the way.
Maybe being a billionaire is like being a serial killer, it's a symptom of a much deeper mental illness.
I'm gonna try not coexisting with fascists and see how that works for me.
Mark Ruffalo for the win??? Apparently so.
Behind every great fortune, there's a crime.
In the face of a trade war with America’s neighbors, Trump blinked. This sign of weakness on his part should surprise no one.
Donold backed down on tariffs, claimed victory and took credit for things that Biden had already negotiated. But Canadians will never forget this. He has made a critical error.
Hey Canadians, I know the tariffs are paused. But keep up the boycott on your end, it’s what made the difference.
Proof Trump CAVED: To all the MAGA who is saying Trump “got what he wanted” because Mexico is sending 10,000 troops to the border: Biden achieved the same deployment in 2021 without any threats. 👇
@markey.senate.gov what are you doing about an unelected chump executing a coup on our government right now?
I can’t say enough how much I appreciate this, truly. It makes us feel not crazy!
I briefly interrupt our existential crisis for this...
Someone was able to find me in the thread, but this is the best advice for the future. I'm a little embarrassed but mostly relieved, I think it would've torn my heart in two, had it been true. Thanks to everyone here for making sure blue sky stays true sky.
This morning I was under the impression that AOC had blocked little me of no importance. Which made me feel special and outraged, conflicting emotions for somebody you think is the next leader of the party. I was 100% wrong, she did not block me, and I really thank everyone here for the help.
Which is why I felt both special and upset. Those are very strange emotions to have at the same time about a person you have great admiration for! For all the marbles, my comment that has likes does that link to her post or to a reply to her post? Because I tried both ways.
This guy can send me a fundraising email!
"Clocked what I was doing" you mean trying to get the people I voted for to represent me to actually do something? But don't worry allow me to do your job for you that I asked you to do: bsky.app/profile/hims...
bsky.app/profile/hims... Please note I cannot confirm the truthfulness of this so take with a grain of salt. But let's all hope.
Thank you so much for that I had no idea that's how it worked. Why do I see it though sometimes directly in a thread and other times not at all? Like If I reply to AOC I never see my comments show up, ever, but if I reply to a reply, I always do. Am I just seeing a bug?
You must have inadvertently deleted all the names of the Democratic members of Congress that are holding sitins right now to stop this coup. You can just go ahead and reply to this with those names, no commentary needed because all I asked for originally were names.
And sending emails asking for money don't forget about that, it's in the constitution that that is the number one job of an elected member to Congress.
Name one member of Congress who is in DC right now and at the Department of Justice or the Ronald Reagan building? And please define this hard work as they've been in recess since January 24. Seriously, I'm begging you to name one. I'll take fantastical hope over grim reality any day.
So are we going to fall into a pattern where he creates the problem and then "saves" us from it? This is going to be how he maintains his cult following. There's a bigger picture.
This was the world's moment to stand together, stand against, and stand up to America's Hitler, instead 90 years later and appeasement is still very much in vogue. Guess we blinked first.
And you are absolutely in the right, my question is not about your commitment, I'm wondering where the fuck our supposed leaders are?

I try not to be alarmist, but as a Jewish academic with a lot of inherited familial trauma, it does not make me feel great that an avowed supporter of the German far-right now has access to my Social Security number.
You've been there, have you guys actually been propping up the Democratic Party this whole time as a strawman? Is there really no there there to our party? Am I literally begging a Republican to come save a Democratic party? Yes yes I am.
January? No that's white history month February? No that's white history month March? No that's white history month April? No that's white history month . . . How does 2132 February 7 between the hours of 11:42 PM and 11:46 PM work for you?
