I have some non-negotiables (such as trans rights) but my number one issue in the next D primary is “will you actually fight back”
if any moderates are on the fight side of the fight/don’t fight axis now would be a good time to demonstrate it

I would vote for a moderate if I thought they would end the filibuster, pack the court, and use every lever available to them to keep the GOP out of power. if the leftists are the ones promising that, I'll vote for them instead.

I needed a thread like this to pull me out of creeping despair.
Organized, targeted boycotts are a great and important tool in this moment. Organizing to take action, all kinds of action, is crucial.
But I want to complicate the picture a little. 🧵

There is a disconnect in America today: Trump is deeply unpopular facing mass resistance from citizens. But elites keep rolling over for Trump anyway.
What to do? An organized boycott campaign.
Here's how it would work, and why it could very well change elite behavior www.vox.com/politics/466...

I expect DHS/CBP/ICE to grant the request and then go ahead with the kidnappings anyhow.
IL Gov. JB Pritzker is asking DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and other ICE & Border Patrol officials to suspend Midway Blitz operations through Halloween weekend.
In Jan. 2024, Pritzker asked TX Gov. Greg Abbott to stop busing migrants to Chicago amid a cold snap.
Abbott's office rejected that request.

I tell you what, learn a little bit about cancer and people who think you can cure cancer with diet or supplements do look very silly. This is why cancer biologists have such a hard time not being snarky.

Violence is always unacceptable, and threats of violence have no place in public discourse. Our thoughts are with Charlie Kirk and his family.

For my latest, I talked with counter-recruiter Rory Fanning about how we should communicate with National Guard troops deployed in US cities, and how we might counter ICE's current recruiting blitz.
What Do We Say When the Soldiers Come?
"There is no honor in this mission," says counter-recruiter Rory Fanning.
