The Right built a powerful, partisan, & participatory media environment to support its messaging, which offers a compelling "deep story" for its participants. The Left relied upon rigid, self-preserving institutional media and its "story" is little more than a defense of imperfect institutions.
Important to understand. We did not lose the election because of our message or our candidate, we lost because the right controls the information infrastructure. Their message was heard and repeated, ours was not.

This makes me so sad.
“I am a U.S. citizen, I'm a veteran. For once in my life, I'm thinking I'm back in Afghanistan. This is not a combat zone, this is America—this is not the America I fought for.”
When a veteran’s PTSD is triggered by their fellow countrymen, nothing else needs to be said.

America is a traitor to it's allies. This is a crushing place to find ourselves. We should bow our heads in shame.
This opens up wider questions about how far the UK and Canada in the 5 eyes intel sharing framework as well as other former allies of the United States can still provide the Americans with any sensitive intelligence information at all

Feels like something cracked today in the transatlantic alliance. Europeans have been swallowing their pride, bitting their tongues, and bending the knee. That strategy may have bought them time but it has now clearly failed. It also had a major cost - it has made the WH think Europe will cave. 1/

Tom Kean Jr, is your goal to see New Jersey under tyrannical rule like Minnesota? Do you get kinda stimulated watching Nazi jackboots rough up American citizens and immigrants. What do you tell your kids, family about callous support of iron fist rule? No problem having this come to your hometown?
According to DHS, about 3,000 ICE and federal agents are operating in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. THREE THOUSAND! The entire Minneapolis Police Department only has about 580 officers. This is outrageous and unnecessary.
Our tax dollars are funding this abuse, so it’s happening in our name.

This matters more than you think. We can all make a difference.
Some of yall have relatives in ICE and BP. You call them. Tell them they're not a part of the family anymore. Make sure they understand.

People in Minnesota are now using their key fobs to trigger their car alarms from the safety of their homes when they see ICE walking around.

"Nobody was read their rights". Of all the atrocities cited in this video, this is the thing that jumped out at me. They aren't even pretending to be legal, constitutional law enforcement. Nobody is safe once they abandon even a basic pretense of legality. "Wake the fuck up, America".

I agree we should go scorched earth on Republicans but I don't see the value of using MAGA-like language against those in our own party who have differing opinions. It's not helpful. We can disagree without cutting ourselves off at the knees. Virginia is leading with action, others will follow.
I have the utmost respect for Senator Kaine and Senator Warner but we do not need “coaching” on redistricting coming from a cuck chair in the corner. How about you all stay focused on the fascist in the White House and let us handle redistricting in Virginia. 10-1

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

The Virginia legislature today passed four constitutional amendments, all by day 3 of 2026 session:
—protect abortion rights
—repeal the same-sex marriage ban
—allow mid-decade redistricting
—greatly expand voting rights restoration.
These will all go to 2026 referendums.

This is disgusting. Read the whole thread. These violent, out of control lunatics should not be on American streets.
For days, Skye (last name withheld)—a disabled U.S. Marine Corps veteran and Minneapolis resident—has been participating as part of a citizen observer effort to warn neighbors about ICE presence in their communities.
On Jan. 11, Skye and her friend Elizabeth were pulled over and detained.

The Trump-Vance administration just used your taxes to pay for an ICE agent to do this to a 21-year-old kid, who was only protesting because another ICE agent killed a mother of three, who was only there because ICE agents are kidnapping your neighbors

Low on the priority list right now, but I think we need to assume that absolutely every public asset that can be stripped & sold for parts over the next three years will be, and the assets parked in some offshore account.
