“May hosts of heroes cluster
That scorn to wear a chain.
And blast the venal sycophants
Who dare our rights betray;
Assert yourselves, yourselves, yourselves
For brave America,”

the thing i think people don’t want to hear is that GOP are kind of caving to Dems if you look at this from a lot of angles. this isn’t hopium or copium because as an anti-ICE person i really wanna see a fight on that issue, but i think it’s clear the GOP is giving Dems a lot by conventional rules
Generally speaking I think the stance of "no deals at all, burn it all down" is not unreasonable at this moment. But it also misses a lot of nuance of what happens during a shutdown.

That said, this about the best deal that I thunk dems could get with 0 power. Maybe even better than expected.

This decision killed Renee Good
every time I read this, I get apocalyptically apoplectic about how clear it is. it is instant. it does not require explicit congressional action to invoke, it instead only requires that to remove.

donald trump is not the current president right now, according to the constitution.

Trump is hard at work distracting Europe from Ukraine. However, we can help fill the gap

Dronefall — Fundraising for the downing of 5000 Russian reconnaissance UAVs
Our goal — is to down Russian percussion and reconnaissance UAVs. And to do it not with million-dollar missiles, but by deploying special covering groups.

An order to our military members to invade our ally Greenland, without congressional authorization, and with no self-defense basis, would be “manifestly unlawful” under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. They must disobey it.

You don't win against propaganda by insisting you're above propaganda. You create counter-propaganda.

A big reason that Russia focused on the methods it did is they were affordable and accessible. This is very doable.
look there's a simple solution: Europe and Canada must engage in sustained influence ops in the United States to promote the Democratic Party

The pivot from "Mamdani is a political genius for focusing his message almost entirely on affordability" to "Schumer is a political moron for focusing his message almost entirely on affordability" is odd.

I think it's important to call this lie out for clarity. Chris Coons advised against calling witnesses because multiple REPUBLICANS were threatening to acquit Trump if they did because REPUBLICANS valued having a Valentine's Day weekend more than democracy & folks decided this was Dems fault.

“Why are Europeans and Canadians so mean?”

Because our country threatened a war of aggression.

“Why aren’t Americans doing anything?”

1500 US Army arctic warfare specialists are literally incapable of deploying to Greenland due to domestic protests over dissidents being publicly murdered.
