On this important day of mobilization, don't be scared off by self-appointed experts giving you a bunch of rules for how to protest or what not to do. The most important thing we need is more people in the streets, period. Our safety comes from numbers. As a criminal defense lawyer for decades...
Ostracize wreckers like this. Fifth column scum.
This is now the most important thing in America: Democrats must lose completely.
They brought this on themselves. They forced this on all of us.

Looking at these things and deciding that they’re true is just poison for your understanding of the world, but every day millions of people unlock their phones and nod along.

Every minute spent fulminating about the perfidy of party leadership is a minute not spent organizing to support the most reform- and reconstruction-oriented viable primary candidates, so choose wisely.

A not-insubstantial number of people seem to be just *convinced* that The Democrats have a magic wand that they simply choose not to use at their disposal.

Listen it’s foolish to predict anything in this world, but I am extremely, extremely confident that the chances Democrats lose a single race anywhere in the country for any office at any level as a direct result of how the country feels about the way the shutdown of November 2025 ended are 0.00%
This is only a contrarian view on a website that has full on lost its mind.
A bit of a contrarian view. Democrats likely won't pay a price for this in the midterms. The American memory is quite short on political machinations. But Republicans are about to learn a central tenet of American politics: You cannot give people a benefit and then take it away.

Y’all, don’t be fucking dicks to staffers, it is neither nice nor particularly productive
You ever call a senator's office and ask the staffer who picks up what it's like to work for someone without a spine?

Michael is one of the biggest whiners on here.
Loser shit. If Republicans win the Senate in 2026, the first thing that happens is Clarence Thomas and Sam Alito and possibly John Roberts resign and a 6-3 majority is enshrined for at least 20 years.
anyway if dems think I'm gonna forget this shit in 5 months, they're wrong. if they think I'm gonna forget it in 5 years, they're wrong. they have fully convinced me that purging the party of these inept losers in the senate is more important than retaking the senate in the next election cycle

It’s important to give dedicated attention to making Elon Musk’s evil deeds infamous. Never let him hide. We have to collectively pull him down and render him powerless.
not only that, but musk sent his personal goons to follow the whistleblower. when the police who were sent to check out the "threat" found the engineer, he was curled up in a corner sobbing.
musk then dedicated further resources attempting to blackball the reporter who ran the engineer's story.

Tesla engineer was concerned about known thermal runaway problems in the batteries, elon and his head of security concoted a mass shooter threat pretending to be him, leaked it to the press and got a bolo issued to tried to get him swatted, Elon then stiffed his head of security

With Trump, “I watched it from the inside,” means, “I’m an evil person who needs to experience the consequences of my bad choices.” It does not mean, “Democrats would actually do well to take my advice now.” The Lev Parnases of the world reek of Trump‘s shit. Don’t let them get their stink on you.
Trump always gloats, and always thinks he knows how to deal with the Democrats, though. Events don't impact Trump's state of mind.
You're chasing your tail if you think you can make him believe he isn't right about something. Anything.
There's literally no sense in letting that drive you.

one of the weirdest things that people believe on a website where the collective mood changes every thirty-six hours is that events completely unknown to 60% of the population, where 90% have the facts wrong, will have persistent effects eighteen months later

SNAP embarrassed him. So now he's against SNAP. SNAP is now the James Comey of government assistance programs.
President Trump criticized the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) during a Fox News interview tonight, saying people "get it automatically now so the number is many times what it should be, it's disgraceful."
Trump says "we can reform" SNAP
"SNAP is supposed to be if you are down and out," Trump said on Fox News this evening.

This is glib and easy to say but it just presupposes that we have a party system like other countries and… sorry, guy, we don’t.

In a normal democracy, a total collapse of party leadership would result in an no-confidence vote and immediate snap elections to find leaders who can lead

listening to some of their victims tonight made me even more certain that the single best thing any of us can do to bring about justice for DHS is make sure that in three years everybody you know is ready to demand nuremburg type stuff.

Yes, correct, they are just ever-shifting coalitions, means to an end, liquid as cash. What matters in the final analysis is not parties but the exercise of power.
also at a certain point, neither are really a Party

This is a dumb-ass post that I don’t like to see circulating again. Attacking the Republican Party literally is part of what strengthens the Democratic Party. So maybe let’s focus more on that because it’s a proven technique that works.
sometimes i feel like the republican party is a big tornado that is coming to kill me. and the democratic party is the rickety shed that i'm hiding in. and i say "we should really fix this shed, because it's not doing much." and people say "what? why aren't you criticizing the tornado instead?!"
