I don’t think it’s good that we have an entire class of media elites who believe that people getting mad at them means they’re doing a good job, but identifying that makes me wonder if it’s actually better to not get mad at them and deprive them of what they want.

They really do wonder why they get called BlueMAGA smfh. Absolutely fucking psychotic people. Again it’s people like this that got us into this situation because they’ll attack you if you demand the Democratic Party actually do better and put up good people with good policies.

I don’t know how the fuck people like her already have well over 30,000 yes THIRTY THOUSAND posts but she absolutely does and the other people in her mentions attacking others who dare to question the party also have upwards of 50,000 posts already on here. These people are fucking psychotic

That shitty failed author Suanne or whatever her name is an absolutely psychotic BlueMAGA fucking clown.

There are a tremendous number of ICE watchers out in Rogers Park this afternoon after some early morning abductions.

People are guarding churches and patrolling alleyways. Ran into Alderperson Hadden. First timers tell us they're primed and ready to use their whistles.

Whistling when ICE is about to kidnap someone for no reason is incredibly effective. They know what they are doing is wrong and will scatter in the wind when too many witnesses gather.

Which basically means we’ll do nothing and all the loopholes that Trump and his people took advantage of will stay in place and that if this ends up happening again after democrats presumably take office we could be back in this same position in another ten years and lose democracy for good finally

Alex Timmons @a1extimmons.bsky.social · 3h

And the problem with democrats is if we’re lucky enough to hold elections and win we’ll just do what we did when Obama won after bush and act like nothing happened and say things like we need to look forward and not backwards thus trying to prevent what’s happening now from happening ever again.

A lot of what the Trump admin is instituting was already in place in some ways because of the Biden administration with how they went after pro Palestinian activists on college campuses. “We” put a lot of these things in place and already showed the path forward for this type of government overreach
