There’s a really specific emotion that I think this guy is experiencing that is a simultaneous sense of rage mixed with a sudden awareness of the power of neighborly love
Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

If the Senate wants, then can pass a rule saying debate can only continue if the debaters sing their arguments to melodies from baroque operas.
The Senate has a non-talking “filibuster” because that’s what the Senate wants. Some of them just occasionally choose to pretend otherwise.

that would absolutely create incentives for extremely radical speeches from Democrats almost definitionally, and they absolutely do not want to bring the temperature up
Trump may want that, but the Republicans in Congress aren’t that gutsy

5/ So yeah. It seems the plan is to force Ds to talk/debate while literally standing up on a 24/7 basis until they collapse or the next Congress is sworn. And they hope the Ds would run out of members who can stand up that long. It’s physical torture to get their way.

Every primary poll so far is like 90% “who have you even heard of?“ If you put Spider-Man as an option, he‘d blow everyone else out of the water cuz voters would be like “Hey, I know who that is!”

In case you were wondering what one of the major lines of attack on AOC will be in 2028, it won't be about Taiwan or populism but about her belief that Israel isn't entitled to free and unlimited military assistance from the US

We bought Article II of the United Nations Charter with the blood of a hundred million human beings, and less than a century later, it's being sold for nothing by people who don't even understand what they're doing.
i think this is what drives me nuts. people talk about how, say, the UN was founded by "starry eyed idealists" who didn't understand "reality." the truth is that the UN was founded by those who had just fought and *won* the bloodiest war in human history.

People don’t really understand the nature of the problem. It’s not lots of little random ankle-biter tweets. That’s annoying but whatever. It’s when hating you becomes this communal pursuit that exists separately from yourself. Like there’s an entire group of people working together to target you.
ignore it. why do you big accounts always complain? it’s like a celebrity complaining they get too much attention in the street. it comes with the territory. just ignore or mute those accounts. it seems you might have a kind of para social relationship back.

"Community" is one of those big words that's naturally double edged and it would be nice for us to acknowledge that more often.
Just chiming in to second this from the enby experience; I have been explicitly accused of being a gender traitor for both a. Being a member of the Bergen county democratic committee and b. Being an economist in manufacturing. I’ve also been accused of straight up “faking it” which is…. Not fun!
it is absolutely a thing that happens that if a trans person is trying to be a regular person who belongs to the normal political party that supports their rights, members of The Community will "call them in" and tell them that their insufficient radicalism should embarass them

I think a lot of you don’t understand the concept of surrender involves a credible commitment not to harm once demands are met. Japan wasn’t going to surrender if they thought they‘d get nuked a third time then get invaded by the Americans and Soviets anyway. Inability to take a W is unhelpful.

One of the ways you can tell this is all about shifting expectations is that two weeks ago the narrative was that Democrats were missing an opportunity to shut down DHS by only demanding minor reforms that the GOP was desperate to take because they were so scared.
DHS is shutting down shortly while the rest of the government remains open bc democrats (so far, things could change) actually handled this situation pretty well, but if you think those facts are going to have any effect on senate Gabe’s poasting, well, I’m afraid you don’t know senate Gabe.
