Pritzker: Throughout history we've learned that tyranny doesn't arrive with dramatic proclamations. Most times it comes quietly wrapped in the language of law and order, with fingers pointed at someone who doesn't look like you, promising safety while demanding that we sacrifice our neighbors.
Same! While I was super impressed in red smalltown central PA to see 100s of clever, creative signs & a bunch of inflatables & a ton of conservative-looking older ppl & a ton of youth, what impressed me just as much was the constant honking & cheering from cars driving past. Resistance is everywhere

This is grossly dark. These are broken people.

But it's also so politically dumb.

How do they think Americans will react to being told that anyone who doesn't support Trump is a terrorist?
Leavitt: "The Democrat Party's main constituency is made up of Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens, and violent criminals."
Visiting small town red central PA & a ton of awesome people turned out w great signs! Nearly every car passing honked loudly in support of the crowd. There WAS one jealous little MAGA there speeding his motorcycle the wrong way against traffic, but an Indivisible guy told us the cops arrested him 😁
Newsom's intent was to diminish and rattle Trump, to take away his illusion of dominance, not to state what's obvious to anyone not fully indoctrinated. Nothing is more painful for a narcissist than to be treated like a pitiful hasbeen
Normally I'd agree, but that "politeness" was pure shade

"This is how you fight back without losing your joy" is the daily mantra we need to survive this shitshow. Love you guys
🚨MOCK THEM MERCILESSLY

AOC just exposed the one thing authoritarians can’t stand, being laughed at. 😂

This is how you fight back without losing your joy.

In Trump's America, you can't burn a flag... but if you're MAGA, you can beat a police officer with it
"Hang on, still trying to find some evidence of the shit we made up"
CNN: The judge presiding over the prosecution of Jim Comey has agreed to Comey’s request to schedule a near term trial. Comey asked for a Jan 12 trial date. The judge went with Jan 5. Comey is counting on the gov’t not being ready for trial. A good bet.

What does Pam Bondi know about the grand jurors who indicted Comey and how does she know it?
This exchange is quite something

It begins with Attorney General Bondi alleging that grand jurors who indicted Comey were "liberal" (Grand jury identities are to be secret)

And ends with her mentioning the "great picture" showing her and Trump and others at dinner

The most basic questions are above his paygrade, he's such an embarrassment in addition to everything else
Q: Have you given any more thought to possibly suspending habeas corpus?

TRUMP: Suspending who?

Q: Habeas corpus

TRUMP: I don't know. I'd rather leave that to Kristi.
Thanks for speaking up for the truth - we appreciate you! It's got to be frustrating being at a network where official liars are platformed and not challenged by certain of your colleagues. Grateful for you, Sorkin, Faber and others who don't allow yourselves to be silenced

How is this not the top headline on every single news site?
SOUTH CAROLINA… “Judge Goodstein was walking on the beach when the fire started. Her husband, Arnie, was in the house with children and perhaps grandchildren. The family had to escape by jumping from a window or balcony...” www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...
Well said. Also please be that forceful and succinct about the vicious invasion of blue cities. Every day
Jeffries: "Republicans enacted permanent tax breaks for the wealthy, well-off, and well-connected. Permanent tax breaks. And now the nerve of these people to say to us that 'we do not have the time or inclination to address the ACA tax credits for working-class Americans'"
The same. He and two other thugs took him down headfirst on the concrete and the guy was just talking at him, he never raised a hand to him. The right yells about free speech when a private company suspends someone for hate speech, but are the worst suppressors of it when it comes to anyone else
This is so huge it might very well stretch all the way up Van Baerlestraat to Vondelpark :)

We need to show up in DC w these numbers to stand up for democracy. Yes it's very far for most in the country to get to, but the states closest to DC are heavily populated w people who care about democracy
Frustrating that the broader media refuses to cover the full nature & extent of Trump's twisted friendship w #Epstein. I just found a thread I wrote about this in 2019 on Twitter, w screenshots from the original 2016 article in the Tampa Bay Times. Everything Alex #Acosta buried needs to come out
All of this happening for 2 horrible reasons: bc Trump in his sick narcissism can't stand that Obama "had better numbers", and as @herotimeszero.bsky.social said, bloodsport to satisfy his unquenchable thirst for retribution vs all who don't kiss the ring, & excite the soulless who still justify him
84 years old, peacefully protesting in a small, peaceful crowd & look what they did to her. Horrifying & it's good that the American people are seeing how unprovokedly vicious these people are. This needs to be on every major media outlet. For anyone afraid of Trump, just show it without comment
