I’ve sometimes joined local demonstrations. When someone gives the group the finger, people smile and wave and laugh. Good to remember that mockery and humor are powerful weapons.

The stats showing a huge decline in violent crime and homicide in D.C. last year were put out just the other day by the FBI, which is run by Kash Patel.
Trump: "You're gonna see a big change in Washington crime stats very soon. Not the stats that they gave bc they turned out to be a total fraud. The real stats. The stats went through the roof. They had a man forced to put out stats like they were doing better. Crime is the worst it's ever been"

In first reports I heard that bombing was described in a passive voice “Catholic church was bombed” without reference to agency: Who did the bombing?? Was this timidity?
Yes, Israel bombed a church in Gaza today but let’s get upset about a phrase calling for rebellion against Israel.

I just heard Sean Patrick Maloney on MSNBC say the Dems need to offer something. He then mentioned massive housing, minimum wage and freaking “putting a man [sic] on Mars” and giving every returning veteran a muscle car.

🚨 The U.S. armed forces are nonpartisan and should remain that way.
And yet: Trump & friends stood before a carefully selected group of uniformed soldiers at Ft. Bragg, while describing 🇺🇸 citizens as enemy threats to our union.
He's radicalizing our troops against us, & he WILL get people killed!

That shove is such a specific reaction.
With all that kit, he shouldn’t care if someone gets in his face, especially if they are unarmed. Soldiers are disciplined like that.
The fact sis got under his skin like that shows these are just bullies cosplaying Call of Duty characters.

This disinvestment in research is absolutely disgraceful.

Just want to note that cuts to cancer research (across NIH, CDC, ARHQ, even NSF) will slow down progress in therapeutics and care delivery (including cancer screening programs) & lead to more preventable deaths.

When the HHS Secretary is telling the American public that trusting expert scientists is not a function of democracy, it’s well and truly over for science in the USA.
I can’t stress this enough. If scientific expertise is believed to be an enemy to democracy, we are finished. Complete catastrophe.

It looks very much like the Department of Homeland Security memo seeking to revoke Ozturk's visa copied language directly from the Canary Mission website. Is DHS just following the "deport list" from an anonymous website? donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-attack...

Don’t dismiss this institution as State Department propaganda. There are courageous journalists.

I appreciate this thread! And FYI, AOC just reiterated to call our Dem senators & push for NO on cloture & NO on the GOP spending bill. bsky.app/profile/aoc....
CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up.
Tomorrow is the cloture vote.
KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️
Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill.
Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.
Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.
Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.
TODAY is the showdown.
