Ossoff: "There are some folks who are doomscrolling in the fetal position. Every day there is a new outrage. It's easy I know to fear that maybe we could lose our republic. I think what John Lewis would tell us is it's up to us. We have the power to right the ship. Nobody is gonna do it for us."

Once again I'm asking Democrats to take their messaging cues from the sitting Democratic Senator who is the most vulnerable for re-election in 2026

It's like ICE is completely ignoring every lesson that moderately competent police forces are forced to learn, like "don't do high speed chases in densely populated areas with low risk targets"
ICE killed a teacher in Georgia today when they chose to chase a man who posed no danger and had no criminal history.
Savannah teacher killed in crash by man fleeing from ICE
According to the Chatham County Police Department, Monday morning’s fatal crash was the result of a chase between Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and a suspect.

An inauthentic account will often say MOSTLY things you agree with. This creates a feeling of “we are on the same team”
And then when the time is right, they start slipping in their ACTUAL message—whether it’s disinformation or propaganda or creating instability

Violence against animals and domestic violence are often reported precursors to mass shootings.
It’s almost like we should somehow track this and make laws that make it more difficult for people with violent behavior to access firearms….

If I were a billionaire I'd post a lot & some of it would be about making other billionaires look bad. "Ope, I just funded all the GoFundMe's" or "Found a way to house all the unhoused people in Minneapolis, go me!" + shit like "check out this movie theater I bought where I show movies for free!"

Donald Trump is a mass murderer carrying out an ethnic cleansing campaign. He’s raising the price of everything for fun & turning the military against cities—all while building his own Versailles. Voters for whom trans participation in sports is still the most salient issue are never voting for you.

A quick "whoa, really? that's really fucked up, man" from a white dude to another white dude for expressing a conservative opinion is (sadly) one of the most effective ways to change that white dude's behavior. Not usually the underlying beliefs, but the behavior. It gets in their kitchen.
Part of my theory of change is to share the words white men need to hear, spoken by white men. This is because creating defections is crucial to stopping authoritarianism and democratic backsliding. This is because almost everyone else is already off the Trump train.

I feel this way about pretty much all vaccine-preventable infectious diseases. You shouldn't be allowed to dump cyanide into municipal drinking water and you shouldn't be allowed to recreationally spread viruses around shared public spaces.
My most authoritarian opinion is that the MMR vaccine should be mandatory, with only medical (not religious or floofy) exemptions allowed. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Our sign raised MILLIONS for orgs like the ACLU.

It’s had so much cultural impact that the NYT ran a front page hit piece on it 8 YEARS LATER.
