Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

Am I? What about your neighbors who voted for this dystopia, or turned their noses up at Kamala? They are the true assh-les here.

In the USA policy is made by our votes. Don’t expect me to save you from your idiocy on Election Day.

There is no leader of Antifa.
There is no girlfriend of the leader of Antifa.

They are creating imaginary people so they can justify going after real people.

You can. It’s very simple. Just let the Republicans do what they want so that the people see what they voted for. And the Democrats are affected, maybe next time those Democrats will come out and support their candidate a little better.

It’s based on how they voted.

The only thing that would make this announcement better is if you addressed it to Senator Lindsey Graham.

Again, I ask: why do the Democrats push to protect these voters from the consequences of their actions? Let the subsidies expire. Make them feel the pain of their decision.

Thank you for being the one to finally blow the whistle on the blue suit and brown shoes dystopia. In hindsight, it is so obvious they were trying to undercut our American values.

in 2011, the president of antifa hired me to give fashion consultancy to the organization. i recommended everyone wear navy suits with tan shoes, dress sneakers, and golf polos with slim chinos. if you arrested everyone today wearing these things, you'd destroy antifa

And what are you going to do about it? File lawsuit seeking order/injunction? Bring police with you to enforce the law? What?

GoDogGo @godoggo.bsky.social · 1d

Yeah but MVPs awards don’t consider defense. It’s the media law apparently.

Opposing a power mad despot is literally the most American thing an American can do. These guys got a lot wrong but they nailed that one. It is fundamental to the core of this country.

Republicans seem horny to stomp out the No Kings protest now. Which only shows why the protests are necessary.

You ARE a child. No, “the Dems” did not do so. A particular Dem supported a law you don’t like. Cool. Don’t vote for him in the primary. Vote for the Dem who represents the majority of Ds who support you.

But when choice in the general election is between a D and an R, an adult knows the diff.

You write like you are 12. Are you? Under the Dems you are not being “decimated.” Under the Rs, you are. Yet you choose to vote in a way that ensures the election of the latter. Dumbass.

Vote for Trump then. It’s what you really want anyway. Stop pretending that you would vote for any progressive.

But that is precisely the situation right now according to SCOTUS itself. They are constantly deciding major issues via the shadow docket, without any reasoning or final order, to ensure those rulings are *not* legally binding and can be reversed whenever they feel like it. That is illegitimate.

The thing I don’t understand about all this polling analysis and plucky, “let’s get them in the midterms!” themes in the discourse is like… then what?

Is the actual plan of record basically:

1) get them in the midterms
2) ????
3) now they suddenly respect laws

Even though New York, Washington, Colorado, and Maryland can’t redistrict in time for 2026 — they need to be laying the groundwork to draw new maps for ‘28.

SCOTUS could give the GOP up to 19 new seats by striking down the VRA. We can’t be caught off guard. We need to be ready to cancel them out.

Can we please normalize praise for Democratic leadership NOT being zero-sum? You can praise JB Pritzker and leave it at that, without taking a swipe at another Democratic leader to balance things out. Just say “Great job, gov, thank you!” and leave it.
