The law stopped mattering the day they elected a felon who pardoned 1,200+ violent traitors to the highest office in the land.
Fuck ICE, fuck the police, fuck MAGA, fuck Donald Trump, and fuck this racist ass shithole country.

we all keep finding various ways to make the same point: the US right’s preoccupation with liberty was never intended or imagined to conflict with the domination, oppression, or extermination of a subaltern racialized and gendered Other

Correct. Stunningly so.
The Governors of the free States of America, particularly Democratic states, need to hold a summit to create a deliberative body and as a framework for collective action against those who would wage war against those states

The "TACO" people want you to believe that a military occupation of Los Angeles is a DISTRACTION from how bad they burned ol' Trumpy de Drumpf or whatever they're calling him.
They also want you to know they're OUTRAGED by Mexican flags in LOS ANGELES despite being user "NAFOFella🇮🇱🇺🇦"...
Shut up.

Urban people deserve to know a good two-thirds or one-half of the rural folks agree with them and aren't hateful or unreachable at all.
I don't know where the consultants have gone other than the elite. I can't find a single demographic being substantively represented in Congress.

The liberals absolutely refuse to honestly evaluate the Democratic Party's electoral and policy failings. They reflexively assume anyone critical of the Democrats must have boycotted the 2024 election for what they consider silly moral reasons. Moreover, they blame those who did for their loss.

From LA being occupied by the federalized Guard and literal Marines firing.
Governors hunted. Speakers killed.
The only bill moving is the one that gives DHS/ICE an internal army and rips away Medicaid, Medicare, SNAP, and SSI to give rich people more and more and more.

Zionists are ideologically akin to Nazis. It's a crime against humanity to bomb their hospitals. It's a routine course of vermin extermination for them to bomb other's.

Attacking the progressive front-runner in the campaign to be the mayor of America's symbolic core by endorsing a known sex predator who many had previously demanded resign proves the Democratic establishment has no intent of appealing to young people or correcting its narrowing electoral approach.

I believe Trump is constitutionally disqualified from holding office. Failure to enforce the constitution—both in letter and spirit—over and over during long decades of corruption and malfeasance rewarded us with shambolic elections, the virtual suspension of habeas corpus, and an ensconced tyrant.

What upsets me the most is that there are usual suspects with staying power.
Even if Democrats are returned to power, I have no reason to believe they'll meaningfully reform immigration, policing, DHS, or restore our broader rights.

I’m often asked how to differentiate the people holding office with the Dem label and office holders who are aligned (or closer to aligned) with the party’s voters.
Are they on this list or not is a good start. See also: the crypto bribery bill.
The war for the party is neolibs v progressives.

I still dream of a DECENT, THOUGHTFUL, and TOLERANT candidate who can successfully grapple with the complexities of moral questions like "is genocide bad?" and "are jackboots rounding up brown people brat?" though.

The US is no longer an uncontested global hegemon. In fact it's now obvious the US is a fading and increasingly self-isolated superpower not dissimiliar to nuclear-armed Russia.
The Canada-China relationship has been distant and uncertain for nearly a decade.
We’re changing that, with a new strategic partnership that benefits the people of both our nations.

I love that people whose sole contribution to Dems' electoral success begins and ends at voting in a general election in the past three presidential cycles feel entitled to attack consultants, staffers, hardcore activists, and former candidates who have dedicated their working lives to that cause.

Zionists are bloodthirsty rightwing authoritarians with cognitive dissonance concerning the oppressed living in near total detachment from reality.
Some of them happen to be Democrats. I personally don't want people like this person influencing policy or internal party decisions.

I campaigned for Harris, state, and local Dems in '24. I've done so every cycle since '08.
I've also served on TNDP's EC, chaired a partisan NGO, ran for county commission, managed judicial campaigns, and consulted on two US Senate campaigns.
This punk cried online about people with principles.

You won't read the literature because you've already decided, but you don't have the information to make an informed decision because you refuse to engage the material. Makes perfect sense.
