Frost: We just heard about 24 hours ago that the judges ruled that Alligator Alcatraz has to shut down… When you don't have all the power you want, you damn well use all the power you got

Let's see if it actually happens. I don't get excited about any judicial ruling without a thousand appeals, delays, and confuscations. We'll take the Intent, for now. 🤞🏼 🚬😎

Trump wants to kick out the refugees anyways: closing down Alligator Alcatraz only results in him doing it faster. Trump will send the people at the detention centre to Rwanda, Sudan, Yemen, and South Africa, even if not all refugees come from the first three and none come from South Africa.

Right? It's absolutely bugnuts at this point. I'm so exhausted of seeing people going "where are the Democrats" when if you spend literally any time at all going to their social media or Googling, it's trivially easy to find examples of multiple Democrats speaking out against Trump on everything.
aug 23, 2025, 10:06 pm • 10 1 • view
And funny enough, all the examples you cite are from articles in, wait for it, the media. And to respond to another person who commented on your thread, I've seen lots of Bernie on TV (more media) slamming Trump too.
aug 24, 2025, 1:48 pm • 2 0 • view
Yeah. I get what Bonnie is feeling underneath, though. We laypeople are basically *not paying attention*. Then using our not paying attention as reason to claim Democrats aren't doing anything. We are only paying attention to Newsom because we value shitposting over real substance nowadays.
aug 24, 2025, 1:53 pm • 1 0 • view
Or we pay attention to people like Frost, AOC, Mamdani, because they're young and we like to rah rah young people. And to be clear, I think those folks actually say things closer to what we *should* be listening to. But we're still not basing it on substance, we're basing on superficial factors.
aug 24, 2025, 1:55 pm • 3 0 • view
Agreed on all points. I just found it funny that a thread saying "people claim Democrats aren't doing anything - here's proof they are" has a post then claiming the media isn't doing anything, yet all the examples shown are from various media sources.
aug 24, 2025, 1:58 pm • 1 0 • view
Yeah, I get it. But in this case I get what they were feeling even if they technically didn't articulate it correctly. I think if you substitute "the discourse" or "influencers" for "media", it makes sense. We're basically either not amplifying Democrats, or only selectively amplifying them.
aug 24, 2025, 2:03 pm • 2 0 • view
Perhaps, but I see countless posts every day blaming media for not covering this or that and, like you, I do a quick Google search and there's loads of stories from media on the topic. We have to stop believing the "mainstream media" is lax or is "fake news." That's exactly what Trump wants.
