IOW the thermostatic backlash plus huge unpopularity of Republican policies under Trump = likely big Dem gains so there is no advantage to nominating candidates whose key selling point is “moderation” as against fighters who want to get stuff done

Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

The national coverage of what's happening in Minneapolis feels so inadequate right now.

I know people keep saying this but it’s hard to communicate the depth of active resistance here. Like, I’m on random cafes and people are checking in for observation shifts. Signs everywhere. Folks in visibility vests on the corners. It’s wild. Absolutely wild.

the majority of the activity doesn't even seem remotely protest-related! it's just convoys of goons driving all over the place trying to kidnap every person who doesn't have white skin and a bunch of people following them around making noise to prevent this
Every time the Trump regime uses the words "funded protesters" and "outside agitators" news outlets need to cut to this photo from last week.
ICE has invaded these communities. Outside agitators don't show up in their fucking bathrobes.

This sucks but I think non-Americans being justifiably angry at Americans for what the American government is doing and threatening to do, and Americans experiencing that anger and frustration personally in ways that are unpleasant, is probably an important part of any path back to stability

A primary goal of the discussion now on dragging dem pols to do the right thing has to be on widespread accountability and where appropriate prosecutions of significant numbers of servicemembers

As of 12/24/25, USPS changed policy on when they postmark mail. Mail dropped off is no longer guaranteed a same-day postmark. Tax returns & other time-sensitive items are now stamped when they reach a regional processing center, which may be days later. Plan deadlines accordingly to avoid penalties.

This is what I've been saying. You have to fight this by destroying his legacy. And doing it with prejudice. There needs to be spectacle made of the destruction.
"When it happens, Republicans will object (and you can only imagine the meltdown Trump himself will have on Truth Social). The response Dems give should be simple: *Too bad. We have the power now.* A strong message must be sent to the country and future generations that Trump will not be honored."
Why every vestige of Trump must be torn down
He's trying to create a physical legacy. The moment he's out of power, it has to be smashed to bits.
