If you aren’t for lgbtqia+ rights get the fuck out of here

I've said it before & I'll say it again: Trans rights are human rights. My community will always be a safe space for the Trans Community. Don't like it? Get out out my space.

I would actually point out that the level of resources, the number of members of leadership that are involved, etc. in Chicago demonstrates just how little bandwidth they actually have for this.

They can do a city or two with token forces AT MOST.

It feels like Pritzker is de facto the leader of the opposition now in the same way Trump was under Biden. A lot is due to circumstances and there's certainly some wishful thinking on my part too, but it feels nice to have someone in the arena.

“This is a man who’s suffering dementia,” said @govpritzker.illinois.gov. “This is a man who has something stuck in his head … He doesn’t read. He doesn’t know anything that’s up to date. It’s just something in the recesses of his brain that is effectuating to have him call out these cities.”

Gov. JB Pritzker says President Trump deploying troops to Chicago due to ‘dementia’ and obsessive fixations

Democratic governor’s comments came as he continues to oppose President Donald Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops to Chicago area for deportation efforts.

Allow me to suggest that an authoritarian executive, if he were actually to go about arresting his foes, wouldn't be poasting it.

"Zionism is un-Jewish" is cowardice of the sort I usually expect from Christians unwilling to interrogate their own traditions.

Zionism is inextricably tied with Judaism. That does not make it good or beyond criticism. Have the courage to accept this & assess Zionism accordingly.

Basically even if schumer and Jeffries wanted to fold the vast majority of the democratic party in the Senate and house won't budge at all

I also saw that trump was considering martial law,

As if they have the popularity, intellect, and competence to actually do it because they clearly do not

Definitely understandable

This is a scenario where the party needs to act independently from leadership

BolTingBlazie @boltingblazie.bsky.social · 1d

I hope they do something but I'm not sure

Glad the country that should be angry about one of their own being tortured is rightfully angry at Israel right now

Like Sweden is definitely pissed about the way Israel treated her

You can see things may be getting more tense internally though. Bessent, Gabbard and Rubio are making themselves scarce. Even Bondi isn't as present as she was.

Sup Gen Z, Millennial here who got sold the lie and watched it blow up in 2008. This is a bunch of horseshit and your lack of "grindset" is not the issue. We're living through late stage capitalism and 5 evil bastards own all the wealth on the planet. You're doing as good as anyone could hope.

I get it - people are scared, anxious, angry, etc. - but we really gotta keep it straight between what MAGA wants and what MAGA can do.

They *want* to occupy and terrorize Portland, but they *can* protect one building with a handful of troops.
