The Cabinet: So. Much. Saliva. This leads to "The Orange Face is Watching You" in TRUMPEPSTEIN, DC. bsky.app/profile/opsa...
"That's an 11-point increase in respondents who strongly disapprove of the president from the beginning of his term to recent weeks... A 9-point drop in respondents who say they strongly approve..." www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...?
this point—that this era is not forever and accountability can come in many forms—has for some reason proved bizarrely elusive for democrats
I analyzed and did interviews on Trump’s Putin and European meetings. Discussed all the details and manipulations. Then realized there was a deeper truth: Trump has absolutely no clue what he is doing. joecirincione.substack.com/p/the-idioti...
We think there must be a method to his madness. The truth is worse. While we (press, analysts, publics) try to figure out his game, he is high on his own supply. Yes, the summit was a distraction from Epstein, but it was also Trump acting on his impulses with all the power of the presidency.

What has happened to us that we just take this!?
So, what in your estimation should we REALLY be doing right at this moment in time? NO B.S.: The truth for the reality we face. We are all too afraid to say the trutho ut loud. We ALL know what IT is!

We needed to change culture decades+ ago. Rape is just another 4-letter word that happens to women & girls (& boys, too) every hour on the hour. Dobbs has exacerbated the issues. If a raped woman or girl must carry baby to term or go to jail, then the man must be held accountable, too! #outrageous

I personally need to have some risk of being arrested or threatened if we are going to regain democracy. Most of us will get through this, but some of us will not. Let’s be visible, speak up, teach others to slow the gears of dictatorship. Protest often. Know some with dependents can’t take risks

Is there massive organization for women's rights still happening or shrinking because of all the subsequent atrocites? Seems to me Dem messaging is pretty simple: Show the direct contrast between parties for every issue #wethepeople" care about. I am a lifelong Dem activist & 20 yrs. commiteeperson

Give or send to thisw you know who aren't paying attention to what's happening (there are far too many who have their heads stuck in the sand).
What an apt description - can hardly keep up, with so much more to come. We don't even know what on-going results are coming; some we can predict but like the pandemic there are so many hidden negative consequences that are unknowns.

@maddow.msnbc.com This regime says quiet part out loud so, why aren't we? Blatant biases, retribution, hate & cruelty spewed by & acted out by team at the "top" created a permission structure for people to act in-kind. We wonder why victims of a hateful & cruel culture pursue their own retribution?

Exactly!
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.
"Anger can turn into activism... Activism can turn into pressure on elected officials and that pressure can turn into laws. It's not hopeless at all." Watch Jen Psaki's powerful remarks on turning anger over today's tragedy in Minneapolis into action against American gun problem.:

Susan Collins shamed at ribbon cutting ceremony for not having held a town hall in 20 years.
Frey: I think the impetus has to be on all of us to recognize that we've got more guns in this country than we have people, and it's on all of us to recognize the truth and the reality that we can't just say that this shouldn't happen again, and then allow it to happen again and again

AMERICA: “It’s a mental health issue.” REST OF THE WORLD: “We have those. But don’t have mass shootings.” AMERICA: “It’s video games.” WORLD: “We have those too. But don’t have mass shootings.” AMERICA B: “It’s cause they took Jesus out of the classroom.” WORLD: “God, you’re stupid.”
Amen! 🙃
100% agree! We need one organizing unit. There are too many splintered groups. We need to act as ONE! #Unite #WeThePeople
