this was a thing in new york too and I'm on board
I lived in the UK during early covid and for a while there was this thing where everyone went outside at a certain day/time to cheer for NHS doctors/nurses/staff, and well I think it would be lovely if we did that but for booing JD Vance
I'm at the Olympics and the entire stadium booed JD Vance. 😌

I can't wait for all the pundits to tell us this is another sign of his supporters have "economic anxiety."
President Trump posted a blatantly racist video clip of Barack Obama and Michelle Obama as apes, the latest in a long pattern by Trump of promoting offensive stereotypes about Black Americans and others. The White House press secretary dismissed criticism as “fake outrage.”

We call on folks nationwide to shut down business as usual until ICE terror ends. With the looming vote on ICE funding, only keeping up the pressure can force Democrats to vote down funding for ICE.

Calling the Gestapo “the Gestapo” is causing the Gestapo to act like the Gestapo.

Democrats when in power: we can't do anything because we only have a slight majority!

Brilliant! Run as GOP-lite! Maybe they could nominate a former prosecutor who campaigns with Liz Cheney while avoiding Bernie and AOC and runs from the trans persecution issue. That's got to be a winning ticket, right?
A leading left-leaning think tank is urging more spending on police, the latest sign that many Democrats want to strike a tougher tone on crime, even as they condemn President Trump’s aggressive use of federal law enforcement.
Top Democratic groups urge party to shed soft-on-crime image, hire police
The Center for American Progress wants Democrats ‘on their front foot’ talking about crime, an issue where Republicans have long held the advantage.

Yes, hateful rhetoric, like Renée Good’s incendiary last words to the man who shot her multiple times: “That’s fine, dude. I’m not mad at you.” Truly, this hateful rhetoric must stop
