This is a civil war.

Lincoln had McClellan, Hooker and Pope.
He junked them for Grant, Sherman and Sheridan

We have Schumer, Durbin and Cortez Masto in our leadership.

Act Blue, lose my fucking number until we're clean of generals who can't fight or discipline the troops. No cash for this shit.

“Buck naked” is unclothed.

“Butt naked” is unclothed and up to something.
Not to be THAT dictionary, but…

It’s ‘per se,’ not ‘per say.’
It’s ‘dog-eat-dog world,’ not ‘doggy-dog world.’
It’s ‘hunger pangs,’ not ‘hunger pains.’
It’s ‘one and the same,’ not ‘one in the same.’
It's 'buck naked,' not 'butt naked.'

Most of the power authoritarians have is freely given. We should not comply with them in advance.

Trump is far weaker than he looks. So is the GOP. We should draw them out, drain them at every opportunity, and fight for people’s wellbeing at every turn.

We have been sent here to fight for people.
AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance

However, they are weaker than they look…

Yeah, Kimmel is back. And Trump made him much stronger.

Let me just say a simple thing.

Democrats have no obligation to provide the votes to fund the destruction of our democracy.

If you want my vote for a bipartisan budget, there need to be protections to stop Trump's brazen lawlessness.

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

She was brought to the US as an 8yo, worked hard, studied, earned a scholarship, planned to become a nurse.

ICE kidnapped her. Held her for 6 MONTHS in a detention facility with conditions so miserable that she finally agreed to voluntarily move to Honduras, which her family left at gunpoint.

“So to the Biden and Trump administrations, to Democrats and Republicans in Congress, to the US media, I say this: history will judge you. For non-stop complicity in a genocide; aiding and abetting the crime of crimes.”

My latest op-ed for the Guardian:
The US is complicit in genocide. Let’s stop pretending otherwise | Mehdi Hasan
The US government, enabled by the media, is an active participant in Israel’s atrocities in Gaza

I say "the US is deliberately causing mass starvation" because the US could end the genocide tomorrow if it wanted to. Trump has made it clear that he wants all the Palestinians out of Gaza so he can turn it into a resort. This is not just an Israeli crime. It's a US crime.

America’s military, including the national guard, can and should refuse unconstitutional orders.

May those men and women who fight for the lawless regime face appropriate consequences.

The way nobody can drive well anymore because of GPS — not just atrophied turn-by-turn navigation, but the way ppl no longer know the layouts of their town or the names of roads or what to do when the map doesn’t match the terrain — that’s what genAI is doing to communication skills and literacy
