I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.

At Davos, Trump called the liberation of Europe “stupid” & allies “ungrateful.” As a former U.S. Holocaust Memorial Council member, I find this rhetoric dangerous. It recasts the defeat of fascism as a failed real estate deal & undermines the alliances that have kept the world stable for 80 years.

I got very choked up in class today showing my students what James Baldwin had to say about Shakespeare:
“the greatest poet in the English language found his poetry where poetry is found: in the lives of the people. he could have done this only through love…”

I spent all of 2024 watching this site in particular scream at Biden & then Harris that it was tantamount to blackmail to emphasize Trump being a fascist/threat to democracy, that they had to "give ppl something to vote for besides just being anti-Trump" & that voters cared more about prices anyways
You want to know why Chuck Schumer is talking about affordability & not Trump being a fascist? It's because we already tried talking about him being a fascist *& everyone ignored us*.
A big part of why we are at where we are is that much of the world, the press, foreign leaders, a big hunk of US voters, simply refused to believe it when Democrats said Trump would be as bad as he is.

Seriously, if your top political priority is to attack Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer, we really need to unfollow each other.
One, because you’re attacking Democrats when we don’t need to attack Democrats.
And two, their “leadership style” isn’t what you’re REALLY objecting to, isn’t it?
