I am annoyed by the persistence of 'resist libs are tired of resisting Trump' line.
No Kings put record-breaking numbers of people into the streets, specials/off-years are at D+10 or more.
I don't think the resist libs are tired. I think some writers are tired of writing about resist libs.

Our children’s funniest Christmas memory is when Santa’s reindeer pooped on our car. It looked like potting compost with gold glitter mixed in it, right on the windscreen. The kids laughed for an hour. Parents, maybe get your kids to check outside for reindeer poop this year 😉

Reminder that naturalized citizens are people who jumped through every hoop, did all the paperwork, passed the test, and swore an oath to this country. They did it all “the right way” and still Republicans want to kick them out.
New attack on immigrants: the Trump administration is demanding that Citizenship and Immigration Services field offices start drumming up “100-200 denaturalization cases per month.”
Normally a naturalized citizen cannot be stripped of citizenship unless they committed fraud on their application. 🎁

New Quinnipiac poll:
57% favor path to legalization for undocs vs 35% who back deporting them
Trump underwater on immigration (44-54) and on deportations (42-55)
Meanwhile DHS's Twitter feed is a white nationalist sewer pit and Gregory Bovino is swaggering around like an occupying general

Thinking about this in conjunction with that WV piece & how many Trump/R voters, far from being motivated primarily by material concerns, are so wedded to their dumb, vindictive ideologies that—like a Westworld robot—they cant acknowledge who's harming them even while it stares them in the face

What this underscores is a fundamental truth that while none of the rest of us need supremacists in our spaces, and are just fine without them, supremacists need the rest of us or they collapse against each other. Without them we're fine. Without us they've got nothing.
Elon's little serfs are quite literally begging journalists to come back because every publicly available source of data shows people have fled the platform and young people won't use it.
They are literally begging regular people to come back. Don't do it! It is a website by and for actual Nazis!

Ok, Hoosiers!
Indiana’s Senate has voted AGAINST the GOP gerrymander that’d have locked in a 9-0 map.
This keeps the 7-2 map in place, saving two Democratic seats heading into 2026.
The vote failed big, 19/31.
The MAJORITY of the GOP senators opposed it!
