He’s saying we should do it, though. I’m trying to get him to say how we would do it without becoming an autocracy.
That does not work in any sort of democracy.
How?
But then the rest of us have to be subjects too.
Take a peak at his Baku account. Last post 2 months ago.
This is a good illustration of what’s happening
I didn’t even think of that 😆
Jesus fucking christ. The Trump administration tried to send a bunch of children to Guatemala at 3 am and justified it by saying that the kids just wanted to return to their parents in Guatemala, but the kids actually told the court that they are afraid of being sent back to Guatemala.
trump can issue as many executive orders as he wants, perhaps coverage should reflect the fact that a lot of these have the legal force of a child's wishlist for santa
The truly weird thing about MAGA propagandists is how they toggle between “Under Trump America is the strongest it’s ever been!!” and “If this one thing changes America is ruined!!” www.axios.com/2025/08/31/t...
Pritzker on Trump sending troops into cities: "He has other aims other than fighting crime... he would like to stop the elections in 2026 or frankly take control of those elections. He'll just claim there's some problem with an election and then he's got troops on the ground that can take control."
I do think the DNC has to stop treating new progressives like the plague, yes. But there has to be a give and take there, too - Progressives have to understand that they can’t just badmouth ‘normie’ Dems at will. We’re all on the same side and need to act like it.
The last 2 weeks have seen many articles clearly stating Trump has taken US into some state of authoritarianism, even dictatorship, some by indie journalists, but also, major international media. Today on 1A, Germany’s Frankfurter Allgemeine & Spain’s La Vanguardia. 🧵 www.faz.net/aktuell/poli...
Doomers: The 2026 election doesn't matter, Republicans are just going to rig the whole thing anyway Various red state republican incumbents: I'm just going to quit now because if I run in 2026 I'm going to get absolutely killed
Whenever I see someone downplay Peter Thiel malfeasance, or say something like “he wouldn’t,” my brain involuntarily thinks of Kevin Conroy’s Batman growling at the Justice League “You don’t know the Joker.”
Big yikes

anyway the choice america faces going forward is live in the confederacy or do reconstruction for real and purge those motherfuckers from all of public life. and there isn’t really an in-between.
Sam Altman: I see humans achieving omnipotence using dark matter by… 2030 maybe? That’s if OpenAI is given a quadrillion dollars Theo Von: Yeah Altman: Or, we may become a race of slaves, genetically modified to be harvested by robot spiders. That’s if OpenAI doesn’t get the money Von: Right
ICE’s unchecked power has turned into lawless overreach—abductions by masked agents, denial of due process, secret police tactics. Democratic leaders can stop this, but only if we demand it: bit.ly/45Umbi3
Why are you following him, then?
There is a constitutional mechanism for the removal of federal officers, and it does not require waiting for President Rapist to do the right thing, Senator.
I hope people realize how absolutely fucked this situation is. This isn’t normal. People are resigning all over the place because the government is mishandling our data, ruining our public health services, and generally making Americans less safe.
I think they would use a catheter for that?
Something blue states will need to explore: how to create cross-state compacts dedicated to a functioning government as the Trump administration walks away from it's responsibilities.
The four high-level CDC leaders who resigned yesterday after the ouster of the CDC director had deep expertise in immunization and infectious diseases and were crucial agency leadership. Americans are witnessing an unprecedented assault on our health protection agency.

I don’t know about this! Shared among my fellow Dems. Thanks!
Details here...I've been using this feature on my slate pages for years and have been surprised that almost no one else seems to even know about it, much less use it: help.actblue.com/hc/en-us/art...

They're now saying it out loud: The Administration's goal is to undo the political independence that Congress granted the Fed, so that the President can directly set rates.
Cuz RFK ain't going to tell you about it.
I think his decline has been evident for some time—although there has been a steep drop lately. But that’s common for congestive heart failure. I think he’s to the point where his health problems are starting to cascade. (I’m not a health pro—just watched my mom go thru this.)
All they have to do is wait. Trump’s health is bad. His congestive heart failure is obviously advanced.
Trump’s health is obviously bad. It’s pretty obvious his congestive heart failure is advanced.
Do what soon?
This right here.
In Canada the US is likely recruiting / using IDU tied politicians, like PP, and boosting separatist sentiments, anti-Canada disinformation and inflaming racial narratives. Regime operatives have also been spotted visiting First Nations territories, unknown what type of deal they are offering.
US Trump regime is unofficially conducting clandestine influence operations across multiple allied countries including in the EU in particular the UK & France, however, Canada and Mexico face the highest threat level right now. The Trump regime ops are seemingly running in parallel with Russian ops.
NEW PIECE: Powell and the Federal Reserve System has already failed to meet the moment and not defending Lisa Cook will seal both Powell's and the Fed's fate. www.crisesnotes.com/powell-will-...
Trump knew RFK Jr. would be a disastrous pick to lead health care in America, and he nominated him anyway. Trump made this mistake, and now he must fire RFK Jr. immediately.
The Onion does a great job of showing how alienating the left’s language can be.
Bummer.
Bummer.

Ah, gotcha. Thanks for clarifying.
How so?

You’re talking about a whole different thing than I was responding to. The main complaint about Martin is that he’s not a fighter—I was responding to that. This is a big swing to Dems just months after Trump took office. But no one expects Iowa to go blue.
I’m challenging the idea that Martin is a file clerk rather than a fighter.
I feel like the stooge is already in charge. Like, you’re describing the way it is right now (without even needing a third term). The regime has Trump redecorating. And he’s just not there mentally now. He can’t govern. And that’s why the consolidation is happening, in a way.
The thing is, the people espousing this language are not necessarily our base. Our base doesn’t abandon us at every opportunity.
He has to know by now he’s a shitty analyst. He’s a grifter.
"Iowans are seeing Republicans for who they are: self-serving liars who will throw their constituents under the bus to rubber stamp Donald Trump's disastrous agenda - and they're ready for change," added Democratic National Committee chair Ken Martin. That s sounds pretty fire-breathing to me.
Yes. In fact, it already happened.
Extremely helpful from @pkrugman.bsky.social about why markets' reaction to Trump's attempts to abolish the foundations of American prosperity have been so muted, even as he's gone after Fed independence: paulkrugman.substack.com/p/why-arent-... It's even got a political epistemology angle.
I'm tired of this theater where Donald Trump asks Republicans to do something, they seem to push bank and then cave. The only two factions of the current GOP are proud MAGA and scared MAGA. Anyone who thinks Republicans are acting in good faith is delusional.
Flashback to the time this guy sent me an email saying he was keeping a picture of me in his truck to look at forever, but in a very heteronormative way.
Serious question: How would you suggest we do that? Or even start?
Instead of pouring fuel on the grift fire what if we invested in a healthy and independent journalism ecosystem www.wired.com/story/dark-m...
The recently selected chair of a North Carolina county Board of Elections was charged for allegedly drugging ice cream from Dairy Queen with MDMA and Cocaine and giving them to his two grandchildren
I did promise that Republican states that capitulate to Trump's demands to illegally gerrymander their maps will be sued. And history shows I never bluff and usually win. I also said that there are only two types of GOP officials -- proud MAGA and scared MAGA. That is true.
One of the border patrol/ICE agents who terrorized Los Angeles— including kidnapping American citizen Job Garcia, and drunkenly approaching a woman with a firearm in a restaurant bathroom—- is dead. He was facing seven felonies for his illegal actions: lataco.com/isaiah-antho...
The Trump regime is blatantly and purposefully endangering all of us--you, your kids, nieces and nephews, neighbors' kids, grandkids, friends, entire families--by decimating systems built over decades 2 ensure we all benefit from more than a century of research on preventing the spread of diseases.
Frey: And don't just say, this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying. It was the first week of school. They were in a church.
People are put off Woody Allen by his appearance in Moscow? Wow - it was the pedophelia that put me off him decades ago.
Oh. I thought we were talking about the concept of welcoming pro-democracy conservatives into our coalition. I don’t see a coalition between the two parties at all. You’re right that Republicans in office are largely bowing to Trump (which is why we can’t have a coalition with them, agree).
HUGE FLIP: Democrat Catelin Drey wins deep-red state Senate seat in Iowa, breaking the GOP's supermajority. Drey won by 11 points in a district Donald Trump carried by 11 points last year. It's another massive overperformance. The Iowa GOP should be very worried for the midterms. Our full writeup:
There’s a tiny scene that shows an Orc, terrified and frozen, and then one of the riders—a total look of understanding he’s likely meeting his own death—riding faster to run him over. Gets me every time. 😢
They are not trying to remake our party. They’re trying to help us win, and they’re the key to understanding how many voters think.
Volunteering for your local Democratic Party will help you answer that question.
Tom Nichols The Lincoln Project Writers of The Bulwark Joe Walsh (now a Dem) Bill Kristol Judge Michael Luttig Every conservative judge on the bench defying the Trump admin … that’s off the top of my head
So have we, if you want to get real about it.
We cannot do that without a coalition. We have to recognize who is pro-democracy and set aside our policy differences for now.
We deployed our distributed organizing team of over 30,000 volunteers to help @iowademocrats.bsky.social and Catelin Drey's campaign get out the vote. This is the result. Make no mistake: When Democrats organize everywhere, we win everywhere.
It appears this Aakash Singh worked for Sen. Tillis and is a 2017 law grad. He needs to be infamous.

The proper term for these seizures is "partial nationalization." Throughout the 20th century, the United States government would coup any country they could that expropriated capital this way because they thought it was communism

This is also the day they are supposed to produce the first little bit of The Epstein Files. Hmm
There is only one way to respond to this GOP gerrymandering power-grab: hit them back harder. Newsom has shown what we can do when we’re not afraid to play their game. Time for other Dems to follow suit.
Newsom is so good at this! 🙋♀️
Idk if he’s owned. I think the real explanation is that none of them have to be bought to be on board with authoritarianism. These are not good people, even if you discount their monetary corruption.
We’re the public, and we’re talking about it. It’s not up to the liberal justices to speak out—it’s up to us to track the cases.
I just mean we make them rabid by introducing a different way of thinking.
I mean, not the interruption part—that’s what we do! 😀
It seems like that’s exactly what rightwing media does to MAGA brains.
I agree with every word of this.
