@algreen.house.gov and @repjasmine.bsky.social understood the assignment, but it’s become clear the vast majority of #Democrats don’t have the chutzpah for this fight. Color matching & pithy paddles are cringy and meaningless in the face of the grave threat of fascism ascendant #stateoftheunion
Opinion | Democrats sent a scary message with those pink outfits
Please tell me that Democratic lawmakers have a plan up their pink sleeves.

I'm sorry, but a "tactical pause" ain't it. While Dems sit back and wait for MAGA to implode, they'll continue to cause real harm to real people. Seems to me this strategy would do nothing except bolster the notion that Dems can't fix anything, and foster cynical apathy that only helps Trump et al.
Opinion | James Carville: It’s Time for a Daring Political Maneuver, Democrats (Gift Article)
There’s nothing Democrats can legitimately do to stop Trump, so we need a tactical pause in our fight to plan for the future.

To me, a Nazi salute means, "I want to murder your family." There can be no irony about it: It puts deep anger and hatred in my heart to see it done and I will never forgive anyone who justifies or minimizes it.

Why is Elon like this? If I was a billionaire, I’d fuck off to my private island out of the public eye to play video games, read books, and generally do nothing productive with my time.
Not to mention I’d be donating huge chunks of my fortune to solve global problems, not create them…

I’m sure the #supremecourt is chuffed that Trump is using the broad immunity they gave him to dismantle the #Constitution and take away their power of judicial review. Was it their end goal all along to become powerless irrelevant toadies, or just a nice bonus?

“Why aren’t [Democrats] taking the federal workers who are sharing their heartbreaking stories and making them famous?”
There are so many compelling, enraging human stories about the damage this administration is doing, yet they keep trotting out Jeffries and Schumer like they’ll inspire anyone…

Why Democrats Won’t Throw a Real Punch
Faced with existential threats from the right, the Democratic leadership remains timid; faced with demands for justice from the left, it goes on the attack.

If I had a nickel for every time my favorite games or TV shows were inspired by Finnish-American contextualist architect Eero Saarinen, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice!

If they wanted to take over the country, they only had to wait like three weeks until every technocratic nerd was unreachably distracted.
They fundamentally do not understand us, and that is why they will lose.

Trump proposes permanent displacement of Gazans as he welcomes Netanyahu to White House
The leaders were set to focus on the tenuous ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, relocating Palestinians, rebuilding Gaza and normalizing relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia.

Maybe the most galling thing about Musk and the oligarchs gutting federal spending as if they know best is that it’s not even their fucking money! Neither they nor their companies pay meaningful taxes!
