We need, in a word, virtue signaling -- we need to be signaling to one another, and to ordinary Americans, that this *is* fucked up and everyone *should* fight back. People need something to rally around & they're getting nothing.

Everything they are doing & saying right now is very obviously meant to clear the way for mass repressive violence.

Fact checking is not going to do shit.

Talking about kitchen table issues is not going to do shit.

We need open, unapologetic defiance & conflict.

While we were sleeping:

A federal judge in Oregon has blocked the Trump administration from deploying any federalized National Guard—Texas, California, the state’s own—in Oregon.

That’s big news. Even bigger: She’s decided to hold a trial on the merits. That is: She’s putting people under oath.
Screenshot of court order, which reads in part: 

“A combined hearing on the preliminary injunction motion land a trial on the meries
under Rule 65(al(2) is set for October 29, 2025l before the Honorable Judge Karin J. Immergut, in Courtroom 13A, beginning at 9:00 a.m.”

The Democratic Party is courageously & unapologetically standing up to protect the health care of the American people.

I’m not backing down.

It's increasingly clear that the president lives in a constructed bubble of unreality designed by aides who are manipulating him in order to take control of US policy. Seems like an important story - wish media would cover it.

The US has a serious problem with oligarchs who have no respect for the institutions that made them. Americans need to learn to be more discerning. Having money does not equal expertise. Would we allow rich guys to operate on our bodies just because they are rich?
jamellebouie.net
the usual story. rich guy wants to punish universities for not clamping down on pro-palestinian protests and for doing too much to recruit minorities. at base these guys want the top tier of american universities to become, once more, safe-spaces for their dunderheaded failsons

BREAKING: The 1st Circuit Court of Appeals, in a 100-page opinion -- says it is unequivocally, lopsidedly easy to determine that the Trump administration's view of birthright citizenship is wrong.

You may have heard my arguments against the Electoral College before. Here’s a new one the Founders never anticipated:

If the President is elected by popular vote, he probably wouldn’t selectively punish entire states for voting against him.

GOP LIE: “Dems want free healthcare for undocumented immigrants.”

FACT: Undocumented immigrants aren’t eligible.

REALITY: Democrats blocked GOP’s budget because it slashed Medicaid + raised ACA premiums.

EVEN EXPERTS: “Flat-out lie.”
