And yet, every day, our most prominent Democratic politicians, scholars, public intellectuals, universities & university leaders, & other civil society organizations continue to use his platform as their primary social media outlet. One cannot help but notice this & draw conclusions.
The world's richest man is broadcasting eliminationist rhetoric about a tiny, vulnerable minority, and virtually no one is going to treat it as a scandal. It's just normal now.

Next Congress should pass a bill blocking all federal funding to anything named after Trump.

This is outrageous and a direct result of President Trump’s rhetoric that emboldens Americans to turn on their neighbors. My Stop Excessive Force in Immigration Act would require the DOJ to report on how they’re working to stop these dangerous impersonation attempts.

Feel like I remember seeing answers from Biden transcribed in this manner. And yet for Trump I remember reading a Times interview with him just a couple months ago where like 75% of what he said was just paraphrased by the writer.

“Why is this guy who spends all day every day trying to chase Trump’s goons out of his city so obsessed with getting everyone to commit to voting against Trump? So strange, so puzzling”
Honestly baffling to see you fighting so hard for your community, genuinely impressively, and then give up the 2028 race two years early.
The only option is FIGHT AND DESTROY FASCISTS. A Dem who doesn't do that is not an acceptable option. Simple. We have time to make that happen.

I'm sorry, but this is obfuscation. The reality is simple.
Trump and his adherents are fascist white supremacists aiming to destroy every good thing in America.
If you look at a choice between them and a Democrat - any Democrat - and go "eh, not left enough, I'll pass" you are a child and a fool.

I've seen a bunch of this online, mostly from people less credible than Stancil. I've been a union organizer for almost 30 years and worked on every election in that time period. (I also voted for Harris and protested the genocide.) Posts like this fail to grasp 3 universal truths about elections.
The reason people are concerned about lefties saying “I won’t vote for a moderate Dem” isn’t because they want Newsom. It’s because lefties keep not voting for moderate Dems!
I think all the scolding about it being years til the primary would hit a little harder if WE DIDN’T JUST GO THROUGH THIS

Tour the actual plane to really get your blood up. Especially as DHS is shackling and wrapping up people who fled persecution and torture and forcing them on long flights to 3rd countries where they are arbitrarily detained until they agree to repatriation.
