Stop it. Are you completely tone deaf?? The country is being torn apart and you are smiling from the fair?

He has to be getting IV infusions at that site, right?
"Hey, we need a Republican to talk about how totally believable it is that an eyewitness to sexual assaults now insists they never saw anything wrong -- who should we get?"
Totally
We are in an EMERGENCY! Stop posting stuff like this!
Americans are concerned about FASCISTS running amok in our cities! Stop talking like a focus group gave you notes on what to say!!
I wish Amy understood that the country is in a FUCKING EMERGENCY and that she needs to DO SOMETHING URGENTLY instead standing around smiling at the fair like everything is normal.Trump is sending troops into American cities. Amy is measuring herself against flowers. Wake up!!!!
Last night's clownery
I wish it were that easy. People are going to have to things where there is real skin in the game to move the needle. Financial and physical.
Are you doing anything other than narrating the apocalypse? Tell us what to do!!
Please stop posting pictures of yourself smiling like nothing is happening? Why am I not seeing you on media every day telling people what to do?? You are failing as a leader!!

Republicans: “Not every wage is designed to be a livable wage.” In other words, not everyone deserves to live. Vote for democrats.
Best way to get a friend is to be one. If the Democratic Party wants middle income voters, then be that friend. Fair trade, higher wages, fair taxes on rich asset owners, especially, fight the corruption. Single payer. Antitrust enforcement. Not that complicated.
Yes!
Me: "So which country should @aoc.bsky.social go back to?" Mick Mulvaney: "She's an American citizen." Me: "So why did Trump tell her to go back to her country?" I asked former Trump WH chief of staff Mulvaney if he ever challenged his then boss on his racist tweets. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wolq...
Christians.
Trump is going to pardon the sex trafficking Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein co-conspirator.
Yep!
These people are the worst. They will defend anything. They have no morals.
Why are people not peacefully protesting at this guys house and work every day?
Extortion usually stops when you pay the first time, right?
Yeah. Extortionists never ask for more after the initial payment is made.
My god, what an idiot. He’s going to die and his family will have nothing.
I don't often get to thank Don Jr for his clarity and his commitment to the truth, but there's a first time for everything.
Hey Jake Tapper, fodder for your next book!👇
funny,,,, not funny
Russia, if you're listening, I hope you're able to find the Epstein files that are missing. I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press.
I could have totally played that good when I was 7. I just didn’t want to.
Sickening

I’m running for Congress and if elected, I will absolutely call for a bipartisan committee to investigate this because… Why the hell wouldn’t I? Chip in $8 to elect a candidate who’s never flown on a pedophile’s jet here: secure.actblue.com/donate/abu-bluesky
Please stop posting pictures of yourself laughing and smiling. We are in an emergency here. It would be great if your demeanor reflected that seriousness.
We should never stop talking about it…
Release the Epstein files!
Confederacy of Dunces.
There is only one way to read Trump’s post today about Epstein - basically a confession. He’s guilty, he knows he’s guilty, his cult isn’t culting on this, and he’s a cornered rat with no way out other than to plead with people not to care about child sex trafficking.
Never forget.
Well, fossil fuel companies kind of are.
Very powerful Joe, thank you.
Did he say THE FBI is contacting media????
Birds of a feather…
We should never stop talking about this… youtube.com/shorts/saT4K...
“Release the files!” Should be the rallying cry of the next big demonstration . Here’s why: www.reddit.com/r/somethingi...
This happened? Let see a link showing that info.
Brilliant
The American Fascist Party
An astonishing figure in this piece: Last year, the U.S. budgeted $12.8B for new affordable housing. This country is now poised to spend $45B on immigrant detention centers. That's nearly *four times* as much on cages as on homes—in the middle of a devastating housing and homelessness crisis.
DO SOMETHING BESIDES TALK!!!
Why are you not on local and national media telling us specific things we can to stop it?
Can you demean an air strike?
My question is: How is it POSSIBLE they are wearing masks? Isn’t unlawful? Why aren’t states trying to put a stop to it? Is there any clarity as to who the government is claiming these people are?
Tell us how!
Shut down the Senate!
Stop narrating the apocalypse. Shut down the Senate!
SHUT. IT. DOWN. A senator was dragged out of a press conference for standing up for his constituents and against fascism. Watch how your representatives and senators respond to their own colleague being treated like this. That'll show you how they'll react when it's *you* on the ground.
She’s right. If you are hoping at some point the Trump administration will say, “We have gone far enough. This is where we stop.” , you are delusional. Power never stop taking on it’s own.
Someone alert me when a Republican condemns what happened to Senator Padilla.
We’re so fucked.
NEW: In the days since the MAGA melodrama erupted, six Trump advisers, senior administration officials, and others close to the president have told Rolling Stone that an anxiety shared among some of the Trump brass is that Musk may know too much.
LAPD retreated. Federal police took their place. People are sitting peacefully.
Nonviolence doesn’t work every time, but it works better than any other tactic.
Trump is trying desperately to create a crisis. And he will try to do the same thing in 2026 to prevent the midterms from happening. Hey America, let’s not let him.
Perfect
One argument I tried to make to centrist, right-leaning folks during 2024 was that if you really hate street protest and unrest and chaos, then you should absolutely not vote for Donald Trump, because he 100% guarantees more.

Yes!
Yes
I think it’s notable that ICE isn’t conducting raids in red states, but is instead targeting deep blue states with big migrant communities that will fight back. They want violence to justify more violence. This is fascism 101. We should laugh at them and treat them like the cowards they are.
Yes
Fascists want to provoke violence so they can justify crackdowns and get some good footage to distort for state propaganda outlets
The Fascists are counting on you not realizing that we have them outnumbered by about a million to one. They are trying to lure you into violence so they can exterminate you. We have the power. Stop cooperating. They need our money, our taxes, our cooperation. Don’t give it to them.
Violence is a new idea? Unless you tell me how violence gets us to the finish line, in practice, more effectively than nonviolence, I think we are done.
A constitutional framework, independent journalism, social media, checks and balances, and split countries have all existed in other places that have had successful nonviolent resistance. You are just saying stuff you have feelings about. No facts.
Tells how it would help in practice, as opposed to in theory. We started with you advocating violence. It doesn’t seem like you have thought it through.
Why would nonviolence equal “sitting in the street”?
I am not “pushing peace” I am pointing out that it is inarguable that nonviolence outperforms violence consistently if your goal is to win. - Your “firsts” are fuzzy and you have no reason to believe they are not incorporated in the Chenowith study. The study concluded in 2006.
You are not telling me how violence gets us to the goal faster or more effectively than nonviolence.
You are talking in circles. You are making an argument based on your feelings, not facts. How does violence get us closer to any goal?
I want to understand how things actually are instead of how we think they should be. How did J6 lead to ICE’s success? How are they successful?
It might not. But what if it does? How is your opinion more informed than those that worked on the subject for years?
Where’s your data that refutes analysis that was done by experts over the course of several years involving hundreds of conflicts? They STUDIED it. You are guessing.
ICE was created by congress after 9/11.
Honestly, I am not sure what you are saying. This topic has been studied in great detail. The data set includes conflicts from around the world and in the US. Nonviolence is the winning strategy by a factor of 10. It’s simple. If you want to win, you choose the method that’s most likely to work.
We all want to see that. But how does violence actually make that happen? Explain how it would actually get you to your stated goal.
You are acknowledging it will make things but you are not explaining how it would possibly make anything better.
Name the “firsts”.
How does that “attempt” actually accomplish the goal?
I am not understanding what you are saying. Somehow the rules of resistance are different here than every other place on the planet? Explain.
HOW? How exactly does violence save people from being detained?
How does being violent prevent persecution? Explain in detail how that works.
It’s easy to say because the data shows it’s correct. EVERYONE’S family is at risk of deportation now that due process is being ignored. We are not “using” anyone. We are fighting for everyone. Throwing rocks at guys with assault rifles is not going to keep people from being deported.
You are not accepting the reality that reacting violently means more people get killed an nothing useful is accomplished. It just makes every outcome worse. Understanding that some violence is inevitable is very different than encouraging it.
How does using violence change that equation? Everything is exactly the same, except more people will be killed or injured and the likelihood hood of prevailing in the long run gets way smaller. Brown people get disappeared in the short run either way. Two choices: bad and worse.
It’s not about prevention. It’s about winning.
Hilarious. Obviously your job here is to provoke people into violence so they lose. We don’t need your “help”.
The facts are the facts. Historically nonviolence has a 10x better chance of ending in democracy. Do you want to look tough, or win? www.hks.harvard.edu/faculty-rese...
