I love Thanksgiving as much as the next person, but I am SO TIRED of people justifying the Democrats’ cower and crumble with a need to resolve this for a turkey dinner.

Getting back to anything even closely resembling civility may require some inconvenience, and dare I say, discomfort.

Unreal.

Dems. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory

I’m honestly shocked they pretended to stand up for 40 days.

This is more of the same, more of what I’ve come to expect, and more evidence of why progress feels impossible.

The Democratic Party in its current form ain’t it. At all.

May history look INCREDIBLY unfavorably upon the bullies, bigots, the callous, the complacent, the terrible, and those who turned, cowered, and complied when the people, their people needed them most.

Sickening. But please, please refuse to look away. Let your disgust, sense of humanity, frustration, and fear drive you to push for better. WE ARE BETTER THAN THIS. #resist

The New York Times publishes a handy guide to which federal forces are terrorizing us at any moment. This is America, 2025.

We’re far past the point of being able to undo what has been done.
America will have to be completely rebuilt brick by brick, a new version rooted in an entirely different vision for her.
But first, this must be stopped.

Eyes open.

Vote. Vocalize. Rise up. Resist.

Federal agents aren’t trying to keep the peace. They want violence to escalate so that Trump can declare martial law.

They shot a reverend in the head with pepper balls while he was praying in front of an ICE facility. If that doesn’t tell you where we are as a country, nothing will.

The news ain’t the news. Believe half of what you see and none of what you heard.

But do keep your eyes wide open right now.
Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

LaRhonda Patrick is the 16th mayor of Warner Robins and made history as the first elected female mayor, first African-American mayor and the first minority mayor in her city’s history! Let’s get her back in Nov. 4th GA! She’s doing amazing work!

This shit is dystopian. Blackhawk helicopters, zip-tied kids, and racial segregation vans.

ICE is terrorizing communities.

If you think you’re exempt, you’re probably next.

This shouldn’t scare you, but it should make you sit up straight. Stand strong. Eyes opened.

America is at war with itself and their version of “victory” means they’re just getting started.

Resist.
Resist.
