Buttigieg: "We are not getting the leadership we need to bring this country together from the White House ... in order to deprive political violence of its power, we have to reject anyone who would try to exploit political violence. The response to this cannot be for the government to crack down."

Then why are you providing a $20 billion bailout to Argentina and helping them cut deals with China that crush American soybean farmers?

🚨I am saying this to everyone for FUTURE reference (if we get there). Please PLEDGE✋ to make healthcare a crucial issue ALWAYS. In 9 yrs as a Patient & Patient Advocate, it's always been: NO ONE CARES about healthcare UNTIL it's hanging by a thread. This MUST change if YOU want UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE!

Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 12h

JB Pritzker and Gavin Newsom are doing something new and important: They understand Stephen Miller's theory of fascist power politics, and they've developed a theory on how to combat it. More Dems need to reckon with Miller's understanding of the moment.

New from me:
newrepublic.com/article/2014...

Inside Stephen Miller’s Secret Plan to Normalize Trump’s Dictator Rule

He wants to supercharge searing civil tensions to get low-information voters to embrace their inner authoritarian. Exactly two Democrats appear to fully grasp this.

I post this for those lamenting “why won’t Congress act?” Here’s Bernie’s stern tweet—surely that’ll stop the tanks. 🙄

Truth is, their quiver is empty because of us. We failed last November, and now they fight with words while power marches with boots.

Pritzker: "He said he was going after the worst of the worst. It's not going after the worst of the worst when you're just literally stopping children who happen to be brown & asking them for papers as if they're gonna have proof they're a citizen. Pull out your phones and film everything you see"
