I see all this so-called resistance. It is all so measured, so dispassionate, so unfocused and polite

This isn't 2006 or a moderated civil debate! This is full scale war on Democracy and the rule of law itself!

GET ANGRY! FIGHT!!!

and if you're not angry then you're god damned wrong!!!

If we make it through this dark period with democracy intact, it may be because the administration's incompetence was greater than its depravity.

another rubicon

DOGE and the magat authoritarians invade a private non-profit using the police

without a warrant
without cause
without any legal athority to do so

this is a fascist regime

We have entered the physical altercations phase of this fascist regime.

just to illustrate even more that the firing of supposed DEI staff is why everything is less safe

the pretense that DEI hires are unqualified and incompetent is utter bullshit

it is just racism and bigotry shaping policy and it is making us all less safe

impeach and strip trump of office NOW!

indeed - we don't talk about honor much in these times but it still lives in the hearts of men

our freedom, liberty, and way of life is being destroyed by lawless criminals from within

restore the rule of law now! impeach and strip trump of office
As usual, my pal @philklay.bsky.social is incisive and eloquent in this op-ed calling out the real problem behind the security leak: the lack of honor and integrity of our officials.

why is the magat gop so boldly passing policy changes they know to be vastly unpopular with voters

because they don't plan on needing votes again

restore the rule of law NOW any politicians supporting this lawless regime must also be held accountable
When I was 17, I opened my first checking account w/a couple hundred bucks. I didn’t meet the min monthly deposit, so they kept charging fees until I owed them money. It stuck with me—I still won’t bank w/BofA.

There’s no upside to this move for anyone who isn’t rich—just cruelty for cruelty’s sake

and the boomers love this guy 🧠☠️

magats are a death cult
RFK Jr's move to eliminate the Administration for Community Living, which helps disabled & aging people stay at home instead of being institutionalized, is disastrous.
I'm never done shouting about what my mom's institutionalization took from her & from us (so here's my @teenvogue.com piece again).

the fact that so many magats are retirees on social security is 🤯

of all the gaffs and guffaws crimes and raping of our liberties and daughters THIS might be where magat might've finally fucked up too hard

the blow back from folks is gonna be huge
Today Trump begins his attack on Social Security. Go luck

It is time to reform the Democratic party.

good idea - no copyrights for AI stuff

what we need is a new bill of online rights and bill of consumer rights but there's little chance of that

ALL of this is pathological.
NONE of this is normal

revoke x licenses
Yep. So should Canada. So should the US, tbh.
The EU should completely ban X. It is not a social media platform but an mechanism to bring down democracies.

smart - avoid USA at all costs
Millions cancelling their trips and businesses in the United States due to Trump’s illegal ICE ethnic cleansing operations.

The damages created by Trump will exceed in the trillions of dollars. #3E #EndImpunity

don't worry, I'm sure Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer and Elizabeth Warren and all the other Democrat champions will surely have a photo op where they kneel and say some stern words.

Maybe they'll even have some minority people there to wave at the camera for them
March 23, 2025 at 9:38 AM
Trump and his magats are viscous and evil and they know now limit.

Dems want you to "resist" but wont offer anything but mealymouthed bullshit

its like trying to fight a war to save the constitution with pop-guns

mark my words they will sabotage the Sanders movement again
March 23, 2025 at 9:32 AM
hey @warren.senate.gov hows all that stern talk going?!

is Bernie Sanders still a misogynist?

Are you proud of the role you played in the 2020 primary when you stabbed the sanders campaign in the back and got Biden elected?

friggn rat
March 23, 2025 at 9:28 AM
it really is that straightforward
March 23, 2025 at 9:15 AM
good talk - lets see some action
We need more Jon Ossoffs in the Democratic Party.

This is just fantastic.
March 23, 2025 at 9:13 AM
dissolve the Dems - put schumer and all party leadership out of politics they have failed us for the last time
Chuck Schumer knows the Democratic base is pissed off—not just a little.

Polling shows grassroots anger is real and Schumer’s outdated tactics are deepening the divide.

Dems need to rebuild & reconnect w/folks. @schumer.senate.gov helped create our problem & can’t be part of the solution.
March 23, 2025 at 9:01 AM
Wonder how Dem leadership will ratfuck us out of a Bernie presidency this time.
Here we come
Tucson, Arizona today.

Original projected attendance was 3,000 people.

23,000 showed up.
