Sometimes self-government just means elections. And sometimes it means recognizing the deeper dignity and meaning of what it means to be a people. That means speaking up, standing out, and protesting. We can only be free together.

My feed is unmanageable. If I’m unfollowing you, it’s nothing you posted or didn’t post.

Ever since seeing a post about getting drunk and fighting inflatables, I’ve been a bit obsessed w/the idea. I finally found an accessible one. It turns out I didn’t need alcohol to start something! I also swam 1.88 miles worth of laps this morning, but I think fighting the inflatable is cooler!

This might seem like a subtle difference, but it's an important one: you can wish harm to your opponents, or you can wish they cease to be able to harm. I like to think a lot of what I hope for is the latter if I cheer chaos and setbacks and scandals.

While a recent conversation over an extended family dinner still lingers, it was nice to find something that makes my points more articulately than I probably did in the heat of the argument.

Some good points here, but this is only going to work on Suzy if she knows there’s a strong Dem to take her down. We need to keep circulating names of serious contenders.

Perfect analysis of the horrific 9-0 Supreme Court disqualification decision from the experts at Lawfare. Loved the discussion on tonight's Legal AF. Many legal experts agree it was the wrong decision, but it was what the Court ruled unanimously nonetheless.

Whether it's Harris or AOC, the story is the same:

Those who tell you to wait your turn would rather put out the flame than hand you the torch.

The safest thing for any media organization would be to simply stop reporting on absolutely anything he does or says. Let his own unfulfilled narcissism take him down.
This is what ABC News has done - emboldened Trump:
Trump is suing Ann Selzer, her polling firm, The Des Moines Register and the newspaper's parent company, Gannett, accusing them of consumer fraud. Disgusting!

Susan Collins abasing herself by bragging about taking a meeting with an unelected overlord who's made social media safe for Nazis and wants to gut Social Security and Medicare.

She sure is good at ring-kissing! #MEpolitics

Hey Susan, just out of curiosity, what happened the last time you said you wanted to wait until the FBI background check was complete? #MEpolitics

Susan Collins is refusing to go public w/ her plan to vote against Hegseth till after his hearing because she's trying to help him get thru! Period.

If she really wanted to stop him, she'd come out against now.

The idea that she's gotta wait for the FBI check to come thru...for what?!? #MEpolitics

“Gender Roles.”
Targets not only LGBTQ+, but women as well, with the inclusion of “gender roles.”This could be used to force women to wear dresses, not work outside home or not attend college.

Does Susan Collins realize she could easily end up on this list?

If Collins doesn't want guys like this having the power to lock up whoever they feel like, she would do well to speak up loudly right away. #mepolitics
Trump’s FBI Director nominee Kash Patel said he will prosecute and jail Americans who Trump deems “the enemy”: “We will go out and find the conspirators... Yes, we are going to come after the people in the media”
