We can't resist or obstruct while in the minority, and we can't accomplish much of anything while in the majority.
But we sure can send a fundraising email! Or a text, did you give us your number? God help you.
Want to hear me say "kitchen table issues" until you lose the will to live?

2005 was when those "Autistic kids don't get vaccines and don't get autism" reports were going around, and Congress was rushing pass some new legal protections for pharmaceutical companies. All this hadn't been fully aired out yet.

So to reiterate now they are attacking an orphaned child
School of Renee Good’s son targeted by right-wing attacks
Threats to Southside Family Charter School in Minneapolis came after New York Post articles and a series of social media posts from right-wing commentators.

i've launched a campaign to help a bunch of useless grifters send more text messages asking you to send them money to stand around and do nothing while blaming people for being on the streets when the fascists kill them.
I've launched a campaign to raise money for the Democratic Party of Minnesota (@dfl.org) to help them combat ICE's lawless assault. MN Dem Chair Richard Carlbom joined me for the kickoff. Learn more, donate, and let's rally for the courageous people of Minnesota, together! 👇

AG Keith Ellison ought to be getting all these people on the record and under oath immediately. Get it all on the record, and ready for a Grand Jury.

Nothing to see here folks, just a sitting president investing in two companies whose merger he claims sole authority to approve or reject. Totally normal! 🙃

Getty photographer was tackled by about 50 agents while covering Whipple.
He threw his camera at another photographer to prevent it from being confiscated.

Called and left messages for both of my Dem Senators opposing any funding for ICE.
WTF is wrong with our Dem leadership?
Do they think voters will vote for them in the midterms after this? Because people are getting jaded. Apathy is coming if they won’t fight.

I genuinely don't understood how America took the emoluments clause -- the common-sense bar on a president using his powers to line his own pockets, a law children can understand -- and just said, nah, that doesn't apply for our Very Special Boy.
He’s turned the presidency into the world’s largest ATM machine.

It is pretty hilarious the anti-woke "liberals" very, very slowly coming to realize that conservatives actually aren't their friends or champions of free speech.

But put everyone on notice, put ICE and DHS on the defensive not just in the court of public opinion, but in actual court.
This is what happens when you sit back and ask everyone to please play by the rules again.

I said the day of Renee Good's murder they should have shown a video of the shooting to a grand jury, and gotten an indictment of Agent Jonathan Ross.
None of this "we just want the FBI to include us in the investigation", boom, get an indictment.
Maybe they couldn't arrest him right away, sure...

Twitter poisoning. Became part of the background consensus required to exist in that social environment and everyone began believing it despite it simply not being a thing that happened. Same way medieval people believed in demons and witches.
what the hell is this revisionist nonsense? This *did not happen*—except in the minds of the far-right. You're buying their bad faith bullshit. MAGA called for and now is building a white ethnostate b/c *they are white nationalists*. That's what they do. FFS
