I will not hesitate to block you. If you voted MAGA or were eligible to vote and didn't, or wrote in, we don't have anything in common. You clearly didn't understand the assignment. I can't believe what you say because I see what you do. - James Baldwin

I keep telling my family and friends that the tariffs and uncertain economic times feel like COVID in a lot of ways to me.

It’s not as chaotic or abrupt but I can’t deny the parallels.

Anyhoo…here’s a post from 5 years ago at the other place. It’s still relevant and useful today.

What do you think Democrats aren’t doing? Cause if you want them to message a certain way and you don’t think they are? Chances are it’s happening, it’s just not getting amplified.

Same. And I usually follow along pretty closely.

Some random Republican tried to come for me in the Halls of Congress.

Things didn’t work out well for him.

That's not acceptable to them because every issue they seize upon is the issue of the century. Nothing more attention-worthy has ever occurred in the history of politics - nay - global affairs. 🙄

What I hope is that the U.S. comes to its senses, actually prosecutes people, and meaningfully enforces the punishment. Jan. 6th criminals getting lighter sentences than weed possessions sent a chilling message.

Brown people? Are you honestly serious right now? This doesn't have 💩 to do with "Brown" people. Some propagandist threw that into the mix and y'all have been running with it every since. It's despicable and offensive.

Her work in climate control is well known and broadly lauded. That does not make her the global conscience and voice of reason on every issue.

Clearly, she's far out of her depth with this issue and your snide rebuke doesn't change that.

Cops used 83,000 cameras to track a single abortion patient — on her abuser’s tip.

That's not hurt. It's rage and fear. The people using elected reps as punching bags are like those drowning. They are a danger to anyone within reach.

You've fully arrived at 🔇. I have better things to do.

What specifically do you expect her to do that she's actually able to do and not doing?

That still puts me ahead of your lifetime of dragging a$$.

What's pathetic is how hard Dem electeds are getting slammed. They didn't get a cape and super powers when voters decided to give them a minority in both chambers, corrupt SCOTUS, Criminal In the Oval and clowns in the cabinet.

Together, citizens are much more powerful than they are.

Dang...I totally slept on the KP saga. I'm just catching up. 😳

We need to hear from citizens en masse instead of a comparative handful from the political class.

When Americans decide enough is enough, they'll start shutting down the economy. That's the language of capitalism.

More than that - they're cowards who are willing to feed our electeds to the lions in the gladiator cage to satisfy their own self-imposed powerlessness. If enough people could drag themselves away from their phones, tvs, keyboards, jobs and wallets for one unified day, that message would resonate.

Smoke in the enemy camp is all good as long as it doesn't blow our way. 🤣

You do the work or STFU. Which protests, boycotts or strikes are you leading? Or are you just another trash talking keyboard warrior?

Most Dems are screaming for performative action. Again, damned if they do or don't. Voters gave them toothpicks to fight tanks. They are to blame.

So...you think tough talk will make it better? Maybe apply for a ventriloquist job. This isn't WWE. It's crazy seeing people demand that Dem officials endanger themselves and take serious risks when most can't be bothered to protest or boycott or strike.

Governors have different roles and powers.
