Just because one party is made up of fascists does not absolve us of the responsibility to hold the other party accountable for its inaction, neglect, dismissiveness, or lack of courage and strategy. That means holding Democrats accountable.
I keep saying this haven’t we had enough of “oh that won’t happen?” if you can’t think outside the box, you don’t deserve to lead.
I really don't care about anyone's "he can't do this because states run elections!" argument.

This is an explicit pledge to rule lawlessly by the commander-in-chief of the world's most powerful military, who is also currently constructing a nationwide system of detention camps.
“There will be Voter I.D. for the Midterm Elections, whether approved by Congress or not!”

We are indeed focused on the wrong one percent. That said we still have a lot of work to do to protect the rights of trans people.
James Talarico: No one's ever asked me about the cost of housing. The only thing the media wants to ask me about are trans athletes.

The only minority destroying this country is the billionaires. Trans people are 1% of the population. We are all focused on the wrong 1%.

I’m begging liberals, progressives, and the rest of the anti-Trump coalition to stop association with Hasan Piker
This is not a serious person. This is not someone millions of young people should be getting their politics from.

And liberals and progressives should absolutely not be collaborating with him.

Schulz: The first time we said something about them discarding the Epstein stuff, the White House gave a statement like, 'Oh, Andrew Schulz, blah blah blah.' I should have known right there that they were covering it up. To even respond to me, that means that they're in immediate 'oh shit' mode.

If I were advising @adamsmith.house.gov I would tell him to sign the @purgepalantir.bsky.social pledge and donate the $100k+ he's taken from Thiel's gang because it's the right thing to do, but also because I wouldn't want to open myself to this kind of messaging in today's electoral environment 🤷‍♂️

Shame on you @adamsmith.house.gov. SHAME ON YOU, taking money from this fascist entity. No wonder you hobnobbed with Nazis.

One problem with the US is our devotion to money. Not unique to us, but we are so focused on wealthy people as "leaders" when they may be leading us to catastrophe. And we don't act quickly enough to stave off disasters. Why are we allowing people to decide FOR US that AI will take over jobs?

This is fucking outrageous, but we live in an era of increasingly criminal policing. I don't mean policing criminals. I mean criminal policing without accountability, which has always existed but is metastasizing.
DHS is searching journalist Don Lemon's phone. Every journalist should be outraged.

Hey, @schumer.senate.gov real human beings don't need training NOT TO DO THIS. My heart breaks for everyone in these money machine concentration camps.

SHUT THE CAMPS.
On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.

The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.

But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

Just astounding levels of insecurity and pathological lying.

Yes. Lying under oath is far too often "let go." Enough. Make taking an oath mean something.

AOC: "Extreme level of wealth inequality leads to social instability and drives authoritarianism, right-wing populism, and really dangerous domestic internal politics. That is a direct outcome of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver."

This is the truth telling and energy I want to see from every freaking Democrat. If they can't bring it, they should resign.
Rep. Garcia: Howard Lutnick should 100% resign. He said that he had not interacted with Jeffrey Epstein after 2005. That is a bold-faced lie. Not only did he continue to interact with Jeffrey Epstein, he went to his island. They went into business together. It's an insult to the survivors.

Mark Benioff made jokes about ICE in his company-wide speech, and they did not go over very well. This after he urged Trump to send troops to San Francisco.
