The thing you need to understand about the Right is that they are absolutely fine just plain burning down higher education if taking it over ideologically doesn’t work. They’re perfectly happy reducing it to ashes.

Henry Cuellar’s biggest donor is ICE’s largest contractor: private prison company GEO Group. Guess whose budget Democrats just set him up to oversee in 2027

Dems have had a chance to put together a shadow government, to stake out positions in opposition to what the current government has done, and to build momentum towards the principles of their resistance

Instead they've condemned socialism
What Comes After MAGA Will Be Even Worse

If Democrats and the majority aren't smart or careful, America might welcome its first Nazi president in 2032. Even though MAGA is fracturing, white supremacists are waiting in the wings to rebuild.

As a member of the Freethinkers group we partnered with local Catholic ministries to help our immigrant community members

Christians continue to push the lie that religion is the only way to bring more "light" into the world - the truth is the good people can be found within and without religion
It was so nice to be supported by the interfaith community at the vigil for all victims of ICE terror at our nativity tonight. We are stronger together. So many different religions agree this time of year - it's up to us whether we bring more light into the world. I hope you choose hope and light.
In Evanston tonight, outside Chicago—

In the bitter cold, neighbors are gathered outside Lake Street Church for a vigil for ICE victims.

This is where @revdrmichaelwoolf.bsky.social preaches—the pastor arrested on camera by ISP at Broadview.

No Democrat or Republican candidate that said this would be credible
I know I wouldn't believe them
Did Obama shut down Guantanamo, how many torturers did he send to jail? Did Biden put anyone politically important in jail for Jan 6?
And Republicans doing this, no way...
Which is to say – opposition rhetoric needs to sow doubt among the trumpist lackeys and their oligarch funders that they will just get away with their crimes. They need to worry and know we will come after them - and any wealth they try to pass on to their heirs - forever.

I make the trip from AZ to WA and back at least once a year. I've looked into taking a train multiple times, but it's more expensive than flying and there's you have to change three times - it takes several days.
So I drive.
Trains from AZ to NM and to LA are wonderful
seriously though, there is very clearly pent up demand for rail options and every reason to build out as much new rail as possible.

Just evil people
Florida GOP is a perennial front runner in the race to the bottom. Meanwhile, trans people here are trying to live their lives with truth and joy and dignity.
Two Florida lawmakers have unveiled a novel escalation in the attack on trans people: legislation that would make it illegal for state, county, and local employers to discipline or fire employees who harass or bully their transgender coworkers under the guise of “belief.”

This is a good start
Take the "maybe" out of the Supreme Court line, and you can replace lots of the other words with "Republicans" and that will help tighten up your message

Biggest problem is that this message is not what normies hear. A valid press would go a long way
I don't think people are really processing the fact that the sitting U.S. President and his team — and maybe the Supreme Court — and maybe half the Congress — want to force us to accept that we should obey the President and not the Constitution.

I don't know what news would be bigger than that.

There is no reason that this was an available option for Trump other than that Biden was way too squishy about it and could only stomach half-measures. We argued for this for years

Similar to the original post, this event was seminal in my political education
That degree of raw partisanship over justice shook off years of H.S. Social Studies indoctrination and helped open my eyes to how weak most human's desire for truth over power was
I can imagine a future where historians talking about American government in the beginning of the 21st century will focus less on Bush/Obama/Trump and mostly on the collapse of the integrity and legitimacy of the Supreme Court.
This. This was the formative event of my generation & our entire politics in 🇺🇸. The structural break after which we were no longer a full democracy, when 5 Wizards In Robes decided they were a super-legislature & counting all the actual votes didn’t matter. The rest has been 25 years of commentary.

Any person who wants to be in that room is almost certainly not a real reporter - because the admin has rooted out any truth tellers, and any reporter knows their time is better spent elsewhere
