It's about damn time you (and most other Dems) came out swinging. Well done on this!

Keep it up, don't let it be a one-off.

Please tell me this is a sign the Dems are FINALLY getting their messaging on point.

I agree. But time to snap out of it. The point of no return is here.

Not giving the regime any credit...for anything good. The problem isn't that a majority want autocracy....there's just too many people who think it doesn't matter, or that don't have the will to resist it.

Showing up on election day would be a good start. Many millions can't be bothered.

Attend peaceful rallies, general strikes and boycotts, making our voices heard to our elected officials AND the media, donate to candidates and organizations that are resisting....SOMETHING other than nothing.

If only Americans had the capacity that people in other countries have for national strikes. Money talks, they work. I envy the American activism of the 1960s.

A major factor. Legacy media is an utter FAILURE.

No premature obituaries please. Unhelpful to say the least...as frustrating as it is.

Yes, I'm not at all confident there will be a midterm election in 2026...if we do nothing. My biggest problem with Dem leadership is that not enough of them are fighting hard enough...and their messaging still sucks (with exceptions).

What? No...that's what we need to avoid by taking lawful action instead of shrugging it off.

The “dual state” theory was invented to describe Nazis. The Supreme Court could take us there.
Authoritarianism—but make it look like the rule of law.

Again, you assume I'm not already doing such things. You're a button-pushing asshole, and I won't waste further energy on you. Buh-bye!

It seems the SCOTUS is about to rule that Christians have a 1st Amendment (?) right to torture gay kids into denying their true nature.

The USA's morph into Gilead is almost complete.
Supreme Court skeptical of state bans on conversion therapy aimed at LGBTQ kids
The court heard arguments in a case brought by Kaley Chiles, a Christian talk therapist in Colorado, who argues that the state's ban violates her First Amendment rights.

Human bitches can be male or female, so this isn't sexist. There's plenty of both among Rethuglicans/magats.

She's a stone-cold bitch. And another corrupt one.

You assume that's not what I, and many other Americans, are doing. There is a resistance, and I don't just mean posting on Bluesky. Stop making assumptions and yelling at people. That helps?
