Yep. Nazis.
These people are Nazis. I know that's well-understood by many people at this point, but not enough. They are Nazis and we need to keep saying it.

There are more of us than there are of them. Thank you for a truly historic day of peaceful protests across America. #NoKings
I love it so much

Hasan: I am not willing to sit back and watch our glorious American multiracial and multicultural democratic experiment destroyed by the guy from Home Alone 2.

I claim Oregon. These are my people.

This is the President not only purporting to arrogate unto himself the ability to “take away free speech rights,” but also to do so for speech because it “aggravates and irritates.”

The bottom line is these people running our country are literally foreigners to the concept of democracy.
Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."
I see what you did there and would give you finger guns but TSA won't allow them

This is some Putin smelling bullshit right here.
Harmeet Dhillon (DOJ) publicly targeted this judge on Twitter a couple weeks ago.
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...
AND THAT IS WHY WE ARE HERE preach
If by some miracle Democrats are able to wrest power back from Republicans, they must know their immediate job will be to hold Republicans accountable and create ironclad laws to protect and FIX our broke democracy.

That’s step 1 of 1,000.

It was their job in 2021 also. And that’s why we’re here.

We are living under an aspiring fascist regime that has not yet fully consolidated. This is not difficult to understand unless you get paid to muddy the waters.
If we were living under fascism, none of you would be here daring to post things. You'd be erasing your social media accounts and keeping your head down; you'd know that peacocking your faux-bravery on a network would expose you to being disappeared.
You have no idea what "fascism" really means.
the regime is zip tying toddlers and ripping them away from their mothers unclothed... calling it fascism upsets this neo-con.
yes. this.
"Fuck ICE" is a patriotic sentiment. Perhaps the most patriotic in this moment.

I think again about @jamellebouie.net’s piece referring to the Lincoln speech where he was basically like “the South is simply not going to give us any choice about this, there is nothing we can say that will talk them around other than total capitulation to everything they want”
Political violence is a bad thing, it is not a thing I support in and of itself, but it’s simply a fact that one side of this conflict appears committed to not leaving any alternatives open

I mean they’re doing it right fucking now
yes
What we are experiencing feels less like the Civil War and more like military Reconstruction carried out by the Radical Republicans, only this time the locals resisting the occupying forces are doing so to protect multi-racial democracy rather than white supremacy.

Chris Murphy just offered an extraordinary warning about Trump on our pod.

"This isn’t a normal time. If you don’t mount a stand right now on behalf of democracy, there won’t be another opportunity. The world [is] watching to see what we stand for."

there is a real “guy who has only seen the boss baby” aspect to TCW’s work. the 2020 protests appear to be his only frame
of reference for the world, and so everything must be made to fit into his (incredibly stupid) idea of what they were.
my guy thinks the floyd protests were about floyd

Even with a farmer bailout, if there is no market for beans, there is no incentive to plant next year.

I’m not a farmer. I didn’t vote for Trump. But the only two businesses we have left in my town revolve around corn and beans. My town will fold. My school will close. It’s over for us.
