1/2 🧵Tell an authoritarian how much you hate him, and he gets a surge of energy, and comes at you even stronger.

Publicly ridicule him...and laugh at him, it's like you wield a magical power.

Humiliation destabilizes authoritarians by stripping status...without triggering fear.

Bravest motherfuckers you've ever seen. They just saw a neighbor get murdered and still out there. Maybe let's see some local officials with the power to arrest show as much backbone as these voters PAYING YOUR FUCKING SALARY
Live updates: Around 200 people marched more than two miles from the scene of the shooting to Minneapolis City Hall, shouting “ICE out now!” after police hurried away from the scene Wednesday afternoon.

The crowd of is continuing to snake its way through downtown.

And yet, they will!
Democrats cannot vote for a DHS budget that doesn’t restrain the growing lawlessness of this agency.
A witness shared this video with me showing an ICE officer shooting a driver in an SUV in south Minneapolis. DHS says the woman is dead.

The world no longer has room for plans and dreams and wow did that hit the bullseye for how I’ve been feeling
The worst part of fascism is how your lifeworld gets smaller. How to deal with cops. Know your rights. Here is where they are coming next. Avoid these streets. These institutions have caved and can no longer be trusted. Friendship is conditional. The world no longer has room for plans and dreams

Matter for Ofcom, Ofelon, Ofdonald…
Keir Starmer's spokesman tells me that X and Grok's creation of sexual deepfakes of children is "completely unacceptable" but again won't commit to taking direct action against them, or to stop posting there.

Says "all options are on the table" but suggests it's a matter for Ofcom, not Government

So I'm talking to this audience of mostly left-leaning people, trying to make the argument that -- in addition to voting out Republicans -- we are also going to need much better Democrats.

An absolute travesty of an opposition party
"what do you expect dems, who have NO POWER, to do???" and then they do this 8 times a month
On the first day back following the kidnapping of Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro & first lady Cilia Flores, 6 Senate Democrats vote yea to confirm Keith Bass as an Assistant Secretary of Defense by a vote of 50-35.

Quality thread, this
Is anyone shocked that Tammy Duckworth has stopped short of calling for impeachment?

Illinois needs better representation.
Donald Trump’s reckless and unconstitutional operations in Venezuela—including this morning’s arrest of a foreign leader—are not about enforcing law and order.

If they were, he wouldn’t hide them from Congress.

Every reaction from any Democrat that stops short of impeachment is utterly disqualifying.

When there are two simultaneous sports we want to watch (Colts & Pacers, Bears & Pacers, etc) we have a fun setup with a projector and the TV.

The Pacers have been so unwatchable lately that I can’t muster the motivation to get the projector screen out of the closet.

Idk Bernie wagged his finger really sternly in the direction of the administration. Are we sure “doing something” is the way to go?
Democrats need to grow a f*cking spine.

No more strongly worded letters. It’s time to draft articles of impeachment.

Impeach. Convict. Remove.

Yes correct
the reason people sometimes act madder at democrats than republicans when republicans do impossibly evil shit is the same reason why, if you hired an exterminator to handle a roach infestation and he showed up to feed and play with them instead, your first instinct wouldn’t be to yell at the roaches
