I would not have thought someone who was the target of a kidnapping attempt would need to understand there's no level of compromise that will satisfy these folks

This article should be required reading for every American. We've lost our place in the world...at best, it will take decades and decades to regain the World's trust.

This right here. Our destruction is self-inflicted. The decades of cuts to education, the snide condensation towards the educated, have resulted in Idiocracy no longer being just a hilarious movie, but real life.

We’re launching the People’s Cabinet—a group of leaders, experts, and everyday Americans who will cut through Trump’s lies and speak directly to the people.
Stay tuned for more.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.
Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.
Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Until you've led your nation against a brutal invasion for three years, until you've witnessed the aftermath of war crimes in your towns, until you've met thousands of bereaved families of soldiers - you don't get to criticise Zelensky for not sitting silently while Trump and Vance parroted Putin.

Want Republican Senators to stand up for what's right? They're cowards - they do it when they are afraid. Want them to be afraid? Make them face the reality of a collapse in their polling. When they are afraid, they will abandon Trump.

We’re not all just shrugging. We’re pissed and mobilizing in different ways. It’s political leadership and media punditry that’s not stepping up to the task.

Feb 28 is a nation wide black out.

Let’s add media to that as well and show MSNBC the Target treatment.

Evidently I don't understand how things work. Consumer confidence slipped (again). Worst since 2021. Doesn't this tell us that people are afraid to spend?
Can someone please explain why the DOW is up 200 pts?

So the President not only fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He also fired the top JAGs at the Army, Navy and Air Force. Those are the lead people who determine what is a legal order and what is not. So if you're planning to do things that are illegal they're the most obvious obstacle.

I wrote about Kendrick Lamar Superbowl performance-- its subversive messaging about America being a rigged, deadly game of survival-- especially for Black people.
But we need to stop pretending revolution is going to come from celebrities. It'll come from us.

Opinion | Kendrick Lamar’s performance was as Black and subversive as all get-out
His message at the Super Bowl was a warning and a threat.

Hello Dem leaders. Anyone home?
Rhetorical Q: If the right invented DOGE out of nothing, bypassed Congress & is acting like it’s a legit dept with authority to do shit, can’t Dems create a dept of their own, bypass GOP lawmakers & start doing shit to stop the shit? DOGE would have them in court in 6 seconds, which is the point.
