On the Foley Square side of 26 Federal Plaza, NYPD threaten arrests for people on the scaffolding, provoking a wave of booing. A bagpiper’s lullaby make the NYPD question their lives. A trio poorly sing the national anthem Vermin Supreme style, fading into chants of “NYPD, suck my dick!”

The people getting the heebie-jeebies over ICE protests are the same ones who demonized Martin Luther King Jr. when he was alive. But miraculously, they've become experts on racial justice, protest & "what MLK believed"

That whitewashed version of MLK is as historically accurate as Santa Claus
Sorry, But Martin Luther King Jr. Didn't Believe in 'Peaceful Protests'
In America, the idea of peace and protests are as believable as liberty and justice for all.

Democrats should have either skipped the shitshow entirely or gone and heckled the fuck out of this parade of lies and insults.

This? Kinda pathetic.

Evidence that the Democratic coalition *has to* embrace a Bernie/Warren/AOC-style economic populist message -- anti-oligarchy and pro-democracy. Tax the billionaires and rebuild the middle class. This is how we win.
Make sure you know 3,200 irl people in cold, snowy Nebraska NIGHT attended @sanders.senate.gov Bernie Sanders talk last night and we were one on the 190,000 who tuned into the livestream. THAT BERNIE DREW A CROWD OF ALMOST QUARTER OF A MILLION VOTERS LAST NIGHT SHOULD BE THE ONLY NEWS
In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night.

800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream.

There is a movement to be harnessed here.

Yes. Important for all NIH people and scientists:

The executive orders are not law. The President *cannot* make laws.

And in fact, executive orders may violate the law. As a federal employee, you are obligated not to follow illegal orders. That includes illegal EOs.
i am going to put a finer point on this: executive orders are not laws. and they certainly are not royal decrees. they are interpretations of existing law for the purposes of enforcement. the fact that so many people are treating them as laws is actually driving me a bit insane.
i mean, the president's executive order isn't a goddamn law! as far as this doctor is concerned, who cares what the president says!

I want Dems to band together like we're all about to get slaughtered & devise an out-of-the-box plan (like Republicans do) & use everything that exists (or doesn't yet) to enact it before the government is crushed. Do something more than nothing. And stop focusing on what we can't do. Get it?

Does “Golden Age” refer to a time when planes keep crashing, eggs cost $10–15 a dozen, the U.S. is being booed and protested by all our allies, workers are losing their jobs, and Americans’ personal data is being rummaged through by unelected oligarchs and their strange crew of 20-something incels?
