The softer the landing the longer it will take. And the longer it takes the more we will lose the useful institutions (CDC, FBI, etc) definitely a bit of a damned if you do damned if you don't situation. The only thing we can be sure of; we must work to halt the destruction one way or another
will be defeated. Be it through civil disobedience, divine intervention (covid lol) or force of arms. The constitutional order is dead, long live the constitutional order! nypost.com/2025/08/31/u...
different than the one that emerged from under the tyranny of an overseas capitol. The interests that insisted on the freedom to profit from the slavery of others thrived and it took a civil war to settle the issue. Today there are many interests that oppose a free and progressive society. They
I would contend that we are past the point of no return on authoritarianism. The courts and Congress have been captured by a tyrannical executive. There is no constitutionally sound remedy at the federal level But that isn't a reason to be hopeless. The USA of our childhood was a nation tacically
I feel like I belong honest list. Will be curious if you agree should you check out some of my replies
there is a j6 like event intended to prevent a democratic house and potentially Senate majority from being sworn in there are people on the ground to push back? There isn't a lot of road between these hypotheticals and reality. People need to wake up
Will fire on federal law enforcement and possibly national guard from other states to prevent the seizing of ballot boxes? Are you confident that if that happens the federal forces and the national guard from other states will lose that firefight? Will you join me on January 3rd in DC so that if
My guy not everything is about 2028. I fully believe that Trump will fail because I have faith in the USA and generally speaking the American people. But the thing about faith is that it's a belief you hold in spite of facts and realities that contradict it Are you confident local and State Police

We need to be clear eyed about the dangers we face. Yours is a very real concern and something people should be paying attention to nypost.com/2025/08/31/u...
Tell that to Grant and Sherman. Sometimes what is needed is for the assholes whose values are repugnant to end up on the wrong end of a bayonet charge. Then everyone else can more or less make an agreement and get back to the business of living in a functioning society
Sure and that assumes the state police will do anything about it instead of arresting you for interfering with a federal officer's work Will depend on who the governor is and also the personal loyalties and beliefs of the responding state police
Opposition is never futile. Pretending things are better than they are is a sure fire way to fail nypost.com/2025/08/31/u...

@meidastouch.com I don't know if this is accurate. If it is you could really run with this. 🚨🚨Restart the rumor machine🚨🚨!!!
He posted this 6 hours ago. But it appears to be from a week ago based on the fact that Gruden posted this on Aug 23, same shirt, and at Trump National.
And if they won't shoot and simply let the federal officers take the ballot boxes then even if the courts eventually side with the states you have a custody issue where the federal government had the ballots and could have done who knows what with them Do you redo the election? Will be a total mess
Are police and national guard going to be willing to shoot at Federal officers as they illegally go to seize ballot boxes? Because It might come down to that. We are in the most tense and fraught period since the civil war
Remember the Goolsbee Rule, also called the “pathological irony of crisis”: If you lose credibility, your statements begin to mean the opposite of what you say.

Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.
Brilliant

NEW: Judge Boasberg has GRANTED our preservation order for Musk's phone records in our FOIA case against DOGE. The request was made by the other plaintiff in the case - First Amendment Coalition - as they propounded the FOIA. You can read the ruling here: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
We are literally becoming a police and military state under this administration, when chalk at a memorial is treated like a crime, it’s not about “safety.” It’s about this administration having complete control on the American people.
I have more anger at the senators than the members of the house in the current moment. I am very angry that they didn't address things like the 14th amendment section 3, the insurrection act etc. during the 2021-2022 congress
Wowwwww. I had to look this up. Fuck this lady and fuck the bullshit corporation she works for that is participating in character assassination A good faith mistake would be forgivable. In this case he's to apologize because the medal he was told he would get didn't get properly submitted?

An element of fascism is a kind of upside down where the meanest, most rapacious, and least virtuous of society are loosed to bully and abuse people who genuinely uphold civic ideals of service and sacrifice. Public service isn’t what the system is about. It’s about conditioning the national body.
Stuck🥲
right to use force to uphold the law and happens to agree trump is operating outside the constitutional order to get involved
The Dems in Congress are more or less powerless. They could have refused to fund the government and made the GOP it out amongst themselves. Other than that, and slowing down nominees in the Senate, there is almost nothing they can do We need governors, sheriff's, anyone who has a constitutional
This is the one Labor Day graph that tells you the actual problem in America. The problem is not that America lacks abundance. The problem is that a handful of oligarchs are hoarding America’s abundance. www.levernews.com/the-labor-da...
This needs to be fought in the courts and I'm glad to see it will be. However we also need to start thinking about what happens as Trump refuses to accept the results, in line with how he reacted in 2020. We could see something like j6 but on the day the new Congress is sworn in
Yeah he did a great job and I'm extremely happy that he's one of the 50 governors along with pritzker and at least in the short-term Newsom This attack that the numbers are going down in DC I've seen parroted in a few different news interviews. Hopefully other dams take note and prepare an answer
I would have loved for him to respond that they could eliminate 100% of gun violence by stopping and searching every person law enforcement encounters going forward. But it would be a gross violation of the Constitution Ends cannot justify the means
Martha Raddatz goes full trump here. Disgusting display.
MAGA stickers all over LA. With a nuance. See yourself.
also the two outings he has had in the last 36 hours have had him in a white hat
the reality in front of us is armed soldiers are patrolling DC like it is an occupied city and the federal gov is once again having masked goons snatch people off the street and. the POTUS is openly talking about occupying major cities (Chicago, NYC) in the near future. these aren't "wild" theories
in danger right now is gaslighting people and might keep them from paying attention. I'm not capitulating I'm trying to wake people up to the threat. You sound like the people on January 5th who said there was nothing that Trump could do to interrupt the vote counting on the 6th
wtf are you talking about? I'm out here literally buying thousands of dollars of helmets and vests in different sizes. I've learned how to fire different types of weapons and I'm watching this admin like a hawk and listening for a call for volunteers from my governor pretending like we aren't
Under regulations, if orders run for fewer than 30 days, troops only receive a reduced rate of pay. Trump has them on cycles of 29-day orders over and over again, to avoid paying them.
Sure and they'll have to walk through an armed camp (DC) filled with people who are taking orders from Trump and who don't respect the rulings of courts If they get scooped up and sent on a military flight to El Salvador before anyone knows what happens what exactly are people going to do? Sue?
Under the authority of people with guns doing what he orders and no one with guns willing to stop them If he has the DC guard detain members of a new democratic house majority in 2027 and send them on a direct military flight to El Salvador it would take months for SCOTUS to eventually rule on it
It also is possible the state won't go to court and will instead obey in advance and work to impose Trump's made up reality on the rest of us It is all theatre until you find yourself loked in a room with someone ostensibly working for the federal gov who is depriving you of your freedom.
Likely no one. However he might find himself detained when he goes to the capitol building. I'm all for pointing out where there are gaps in the ability for the admin to dictate what happens but we also need to be clear eyed about the possibility that things could go in directions we don't expect
It's like they have him in the white hat as a proof of life bsky.app/profile/meid...

One week ago, thousands of New Yorkers tried something new. They heard about it last minute. They didn’t know where it would take them or who they would meet. It was free, earnest, even educational. It was the #ZcavengerHunt and it was a thing of beauty.
Pritzker: "No one in the administration -- the president or anybody under him -- has called anyone in my administration or me. It's clear that in secret they're are planning this invasion with US troops."
My first thought was this is an uncharacteristic photo for Trump. Sitting next to someone standing that he is interacting with. Hopefully he isn't long for this world
Might be time for me to join the DSA. I would be a very centrist member compared to most but hopefully they are willing to open the tent a bit as long as us in the middle support universal healthcare, increasing taxes on the wealthy, etc
In the credit where credit is due file, the CA DSA endorsement of the counter-gerrymandering amendment is very good. Straightforward “we need to work to reduce the power of the fascists” argument, and also calling for further electoral reforms. www.californiadsa.org/resolutions/...

@evamcdon.bsky.social FYI, see above
@jack74044.bsky.social FYI you might Wana check this accounts replies and see if you want to follow them I don't support Israel but calling for "Jew hunting" isn't exactly kosher
Ok bud. Well my nation (the USA) has committed worse crimes. Germany, Russia, hell Belgium has committed worse crimes than Israel. I've got a feeling you just don't like Jews. Not going to bother arguing with you
Yet people of German heritage who lived in the USA fought in the US army and served honorably. Not all Israelis are Jewish and not all Jews are Israeli
Many Jews who live outside of Israel, like myself, don't support the Israeli gov Maybe check that intent to commit hate crimes at the door

If I'm going to participate in the Democratic party primary process I expected if my candidate wins they're going to get the support from democratic voters because that's the whole point And if that's my expectation then I have a responsibility to vote for the Democratic primary winner. Only fair
I'm one person. I don't get to single-handedly determine who's going to be the Dem nominee I can contribute to a political campaign I can volunteer my time and I can vote in a primary. Or I can be online and wait until the general election and then pick from the available candidates

Part of what frustrates me greatly right now is the idea that a better world is possible — and other countries are getting there! — and the US is increasingly just choosing not to be better.
Trashy but true 🤷♀️😅
There’s a persistent myth that new solar farms don’t really help tackle climate change because panels are “made with coal” and “never pay back” their carbon debt. This is simply false. - UN: solar ~8x cleaner than gas, ~19x than coal per kWh - panels repay CO2 in 4 months; save 57x over life
Republicans keep saying the $1 trillion in Medicaid cuts are only cutting “waste fraud and abuse”… and yet not a single arrest. Funny how that works!
