Fundamentally, the current regime would rather be in control of a third-rate country than live in the wealth, safety, and comfort they already have in a first-rate one. It outrages them anytime they are reminded that someone is permitted to disagree with them.

In 1862, @saulelbein.bsky.social writes, suffering textile workers streamed into a Manchester meeting hall. At stake: whether Britain should join the Civil War on the side of the Confederacy. Proponents of "kitchen table politics" can learn a lot from what happened next.

Every citizen should be able to vote. Felon, currently imprisoned, convicted of murder or treason, on death row. I don't care.
There are no valid reasons to disenfranchise citizens and lots of reasons not to.

This has not gotten much attention, but it should.
Virginia under Youngkin returned to an insanely harsh system where people convicted of any felony lose their voting rights FOR LIFE.
Dems' win this week mean they'll get to advance a constitutional amendment to end lifetime disenfranchisement.

This is a great time to talk about how much more we could do if we drop the means testing and free up SNAP and TANF staff to focus on making sure everyone has enough food.
Oh someone might get “too many” food stamps? Do you hear yourself? Touch grass. We can talk about that after everyone is fed.

It doesn't really matter how honestly repentant Platner is. He can't be run against Collins after handing her campaign this much ammunition. When your popular Republican opponent can credibly run ads questioning whether you're a Nazi, you're washed.

I do not demand ideological purity except for a demand that everyone in the tent agrees to support the human and civil rights of everyone else in the tent. That's it, that's the whole test.
If people outside the tent want to also oppose fascism, good, but they can't get in just to kick others out.

Folks demanding political / ideological purity fail to see that this is no longer a movement belonging to the left / liberals. This is an opposition against fascism. By definition it must be big tent. Failure to grasp this: see divided oppositions in Eastern Europe as your failed examples.

The Case for the Forever Shutdown
Senate Democrats actually allowing the GOP to stop funding the government is only the first step. Now they have to make the case that Trump’s government is illegitimate.

"Unless you excavate sufficient bodies from beneath the rubble we made of your buildings with your bare hands, we will continue to starve you" goes past evil and into mass-manufactured horror. I don't know how anyone can conceive of this and not recoil. Impossible cruelty.
i’m no expert on corpse logistics but does israel thinks the palestinians have had access to a morgue fridge for the last year or two? those bodies are probably underneath the building israel bombed on top of them.
so now they’re going to use collective punishment?
