usually if you ask experts why an empire fell they’ll say it’s nuanced and multifaceted, so i think it’s kind of cool that with America future historians will get to just say like “oh they took the idiot train to moronsville”

We are fighting like hell to stop Musk’s staffers. They come into our buildings, forcibly removing us with the FBI, U.S. Marshals, and police. This coup must be stopped.

A reminder: Vladimir Putin could end the war in Ukraine right now, just by ordering his soldiers to go home. No need for treaties or negotiations.

When fascists clutch their pearls, it's because they expect you to be civil so that they can steamroll you. It's a page right out of the Abuse 101, a playbook well loved by the patriarchy.
Meet - and beat - their energy. They deserve neither your civility or decorum.

Fascism is not polite. Fascism is not civil. Fascism cares little for decorum. Whether we are urged to be civil to racists or polite to patriarchy, the goal is the same: to maintain the power of the racist, to maintain the power of patriarchy.

Real income for the bottom 80% has barely moved since the 1980s. Even for the top 20% it's been stagnant for 20 years. Yet corporate profits have skyrocketed. #neoliberalism #LatinoFreeze

I keep saying Dems need to do a daily briefing on Capitol Hill and fill the void, fact check the WH. Hire Pete Buttigeig and give him a staff to do this.

I guess I'd love to see Democratic politicians using dirty tricks on Republicans for a change rather than exhausting all their dirty tricks on their own progressive primary challengers

Gillibrand on WNYC today said one reason they're all falling in line is that they get death threats.
cassidy changing his tune after what he said on the senate floor is what has upgraded my position from "they are being bribed" or "they are worried about primary challenges" to "they are worried about being murdered"
Cassidy was honestly the one that signaled for me these Senators think they are in real fucking danger. Collins and Tillis have jello for spines. Ernst probably got strong armed

So far, there's a lot more evidence that fighting back can work than that it can't, whether it's through the courts, mobilizing public opinion, or even in some reported cases GOP politicians complaining.
Following a White House anti-DEI order, the National Cryptologic Museum covered up exhibits of women and people of color in its Hall of Honor. The NSA reversed course after former employees mobilized.

One of the key points of non-violent direct action is to force the authorities to stop you -- to force their hand, to make them arrest you, and yes, perhaps even make them lash out in violence -- and to broadcast those images to an otherwise apathetic public.
Be confrontational, not compliant.
