Interesting how the Indigenous woman kidnapped from the Conscious flotilla isn't getting a fraction of the attention as white participants. Even articles aren't naming her! Her name is Mskwaasin Agnew.

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Jen Psaki asked Hakeem Jeffries about Trump threatening to jail Pritzker and Johnson. Jeffries' response? Call it "extreme rhetoric" and pivot to health care subsidies.

Democrats need to wake up! There's no 2026 election, no polling if we are in an autocracy. #Jeffries #Democrats #HakeemJeffries

Horrific reporting from the AP on the Myanmar families watching their kids starve to death from Trump and Musk’s aid cuts apnews.com/article/myan...

Starving children screaming for food as US aid cuts unleash devastation and death across Myanmar

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has repeatedly said “no one has died" because of his government’s decision to gut its foreign aid program.

Wait until ICE with the backing of the National Guard is in your state. Then the shit will hit more than the fan. Maybe that’s what it takes. All Blue State Governors need to feel the same pain as California and Illinois. The Democrats are not united. A big downfall in dealing with fascists.

Yep, and members of Congress should follow the lead of Pritzker and Newsom. Also, where are the other Democratic governors?

"Pritzker and Newsom said to the NGA, 'Hey, if you’re not going to say something about National Guard troops coming into our states without our request, we’re going to drop out of this organization.' That’s a healthy response to something that’s not working anymore." newrepublic.com/article/2014...

Last year, all 50 governors signed a letter opposing Biden's transfer of Air National Guard troops to Space Force, saying it "disregards gubernatorial authorities."

Now, when it matters most, they are ceding authority and leaving Pritzker, Newsom, and Kotek to fend for themselves.

JB Pritzker and Gavin Newsom are doing something new and important: They understand Stephen Miller's theory of fascist power politics, and they've developed a theory on how to combat it. More Dems need to reckon with Miller's understanding of the moment.

New from me:

Inside Stephen Miller’s Secret Plan to Normalize Trump’s Dictator Rule

He wants to supercharge searing civil tensions to get low-information voters to embrace their inner authoritarian. Exactly two Democrats appear to fully grasp this.
