Imagine losing everything to war and still having to pay rent. Please give what you can to help my friend Sama'a.

My home was destroyed by the occupation, and now I am living in a rented place.

I need to secure $500 to pay the landlord — if I can’t, we will be evicted.

This amount means a safe roof and security for my children. If you can help… your support is life to us.

tbf, there were also a lot of people saying things like, "if you don't hold leaders of a coup accountable, they will eventually succeed" and "ffs we need to crush fascism."

Biden and Garland mostly just shrugged.
I believe the original sin Democrats, and especially the Biden administration, made after January 6th was viewing January 6th as the *end* of something, rather than the *beginning* of something. My post on how to remember this somber anniversary for democracy: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/five-ways-...
Five Ways To Remember January 6th
Too many people saw January 6th as the final aggrieved death throes of Trumpism. We can now understand it was the start of something much darker.

"The issues" are not immutable. Americans do not come out of the womb arguing about trans girls in Division III volleyball.

The issues are what you make them. The issues are what you're loudest about.

Create the conversation around these murderers' war crimes, don't equivocate, and don't let up.
And, you can also change the narrative yourself, by leading the public. Public pressure absolutely moves politicians. Sitting around waiting for others to take this seriously is failing. Making something the story and making the public care about it is the job of a politician.
IMO the argument is that you can make things into big enough deals that it matters. Khanna found Massey and found survivors and made the Epstein Files the gigantic story it should be. Only then did establishment Dems come along. You can, in fact, make things into big hairy deals if you do it right.

Last year, several states, including California and Texas, made it a felony to create or distribute "AI-generated CSAM," or to use AI to nudify anyone under 18.

Under the law, corporations are people, meaning that they — or their executives — are legally liable.
Elon Musk chatbot repeatedly making CSAM on demand should be one of the single biggest stories right now and it's effectively a collective shrug instead

Jan 6 was a de facto success for the right wing and MAGA Republicans because the baby boomer generation of Democratic Leadership failed to hold the insurrectionists accountable.

Remember this when deciding to who to vote for in primaries in 2026, 28, and beyond.
Scores of now-pardoned Jan. 6 insurrectionists will gather from 11:45am for a march to the Capitol starting at the Ellipse.

One insurrectionist who says he's attending: Enrique Tarrio, who was sentenced to prison until 2045 until Trump intervened.

The rise of deepfakes and AI CSAM prove public and private sectors don’t actually care about abuse, but still punish sex workers, queer people, and women under that guise. Credit cards companies and law enforcement punish consensual sex and sexuality, but ignore and therefore encourage abuse

This law is so blatantly unconstitutional, @agounardes.bsky.social and @governor.ny.gov should be ashamed for wasting everyone's time, not to mention NY taxpayer's money having to defend a law so unconstitutional even the 5th circuit rejected a less onerous version of years ago.

I understand that without control of the House or Senate Democrats have very little ability to by themselves prevent the dangerous cruelty Trump is unleashing around the world. I would however like to request that every Democrat scream at the top of their lungs every time they’re on TV
