ive been thinking for a bit now that the real value of no kings is that its been a dress rehearsal for getting record breaking numbers of people in the streets, which is what we're going to need to do after the dems win the midterms if they try to do a self-coup
this is why i'm like fairly convinced that post-Democratic victory this midterms is going to be the Yoon moment because like, he's cooked his brain even harder than Yoon did
it’s a good thing that the president thinks the Deep State was trying to assassinate him. he’s not being paranoid and this helps us all feel that he will wield unchecked power responsibly

If you are willing to yell at your GOP electeds in a good cause, here is one:
Also another reminder that <10 people in Washington - all of whom are Republicans & all of whom keep getting total daily free passes from the media about their cowardice - could end most of the madness tomorrow by simply caucusing with the Democrats & giving them control of both the House & Senate.
Suddenly the special election in TN-07 becomes potentially hugely consequential. It shouldn’t be competitive, but if Democrats steal it, when Greene resigns the Republican majority will be down to 218-216 w a sure Dem seat with no special scheduled in Texas.

"You got to win the midterms, because if we don't win the midterms, it's just going to be — I mean, they'll find a reason to impeach me."
"I'll get impeached."

I 100% pointed out Mike Johnson is effectively not Speaker in December and that was before all this shit happened.
They have 217 seats to Dems’ 213. Massie is almost always a no, which brings them Dow to 216.
They literally have a one vote majority.

Also, if anyone else remembers Sarah T saying this, do you remember what she actually called the Spike woobifiers? That was like, the platonic ideal of LJ fanwar.
One of the first great flamewars I was in was someone calling all the Spike fangirls, does anyone remember, moral voids (it wasn't voids, but something like that) because Spike was a bad guy and it was both a buzzkill take and talking about something real.

My whole account is a combo of “read my books” and “this is my hyperfixation for the love of god talk to me about it” any way I am mad that the fandom shorthand for Shadowheart seems to be “Shart”
u heard sharon, everyone post about their esoteric interests right fucking now. for the good of the community, we need to be hyperfixationmaxxing.
i think this site really needs to figure out how to grow the non-politics verticals (the baseball moment was a good thing!) because i suspect a lot of the bad clusters come out of the political clusters driving 95% of ENG-lang posts

This is what I don’t get either. They say 2020 was stolen and they know who stole it and now they control DoJ and they haven’t done shit about it. If true it would be one of the biggest crimes in American history but it’s just a rage bait meme.
I'm not even talking just about Democrats here; Republicans claim to believe that there was a conspiracy to rig the 2020 election and almost none of them act like that was true. It gets treated with the same level of scrutiny and emotional investment as Cracker Barrel changing their fucking logo.

It's becoming standard procedure across all news media to explicitly not mention in the obituary of a Republican member of congress that they voted on Jan. 6, 2021 to overturn the election
BREAKING: Rep. Doug LaMalfa of California has died at 65, GOP officials say. His death reduces the party's control of the House to 218-213.

So this is a perfect case study of the language people on here claim to want from Dems. OK, so here's a prominent Dem who is frequently on the TV doing so. Explain why it's not enough or what more you need.
For MAGA, the 1,600 Jan. 6 rioters pardoned by Trump are not white supremacist cop-beaters, violent criminals & seditious conspiracists: they are “patriots,” “political prisoners” & “hostages.”
MAGA is rewriting history. Democrats will keep telling the truth, the foundation of democracy.
