Republicans are grooming a young generation to grow up to become degenerate psychopaths who indulge in racism, cruelty and anti semitism for fun.

Look at what they made you give.

I hereby coin a Perlstein's law: when a movement flushes out a critical mass of never-before activists-- like the Christian Right and BLM both did--serious possibilities for change open up.

We shall overcome.

I quit paying attention to MSM when it became apparent that I was looking at them not to learn anything, but to see if they got it right.

americans have been learning about "no kings" via alternative media. social media, tiktok etc. we dont need the msm anymore and progressives should be investing billions in building up our own alternative information beachheads instead of constantly begging the dying msm to "do better"

This from the great @sulliview.bsky.social on the media's anemic (or non-) coverage of the massive No Kings movement is such a great point

ICE targeted an apartment building near my home. Masked agents in unmarked cars. I've said this before. Democratic Governors & Mayors need to order their local police depts to arrest any & all unidentified & masked alleged ICE agents.

This anonymous denial of due process is deadly.

The White House is freaking out about the No Kings protest against Trump and his fascist authoritarian regime's Nazification of America. Apparently, Americans are not cool with Stephen Miller's "plenary authority" claim that Trump has the same ultimate power as Hitler once did.

Also don't forget that Kamala Harris could have run on a platform of stopping arms aid to Israel, and she would have won the election had she done so. But the Democrats value the preservation of their ties to AIPAC over the preservation of democracy.
