Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

If folks focused even 1/10th of the energy they use to shit on Democrats 24/7 to work the refs of the mainstream media into covering the news/events/issues we want covered, we may actually see some change in this country.

Social movements in the 2010s - not just American trans rights and BLM but also the Arab Spring, the Hong Kong protests, etc. - just assumed history was on their side and didn't anticipate that the state could just say no to democratization and that conservatives could countermobilize.
have seen some folks mention or contemplate that there were parts of “Woke 1.0” that were inept, too much, ham-fisted, etc. Without putting anyone on the spot, has anyone more concretely described what, exactly, they think were the inept or too much parts?

It’s genuinely wild that the United States spent decades building an elaborate rules-based international order which de facto cemented its permanent status as the dominant global hegemon, sustained by ideology rather than might, and now is just blowing it all up for literally no reason

Echoing this: I’m optimistic liberalism will one day claw back into power in the United States, and some sort of justice will be served to the fascists holding the reigns of government; but the path there is long, brutal and miserable.
Rereading 'Battle Cry of Freedom' recently, and it is striking how Union morale seemed on the verge of collapse after every battlefield setback, while the South was delusionally confident until Atlanta and Charleston were burning.

I scrolled thru the bad place recently and can only feel disgust. There are still good accounts of real people, but they are swamped by an ocean of bots, trollfarms and deplorables in their replies. Every fascist/tankie falling into vile profane ranting when cornered. It feels filthy.
Saw Bluesky described as where elder millennials go to retire from the internet, and immediately felt the peace that passes all understanding wash over me. None of have to struggle any longer. We completed our time.

I cannot stand the repeated hit pieces on GLP-1s in mainstream media. NYT almost daily: GLP-1s wrecked this couple’s sex life! Or this woman’s emotional life! Or her cooking! NYMag today: Celebrities are so thin their bones are jutting out of their hips! Me: Anyone else remember the 90s?

there's a through-line in my mind (probably pigeon superstition tho) from the Malheur fiasco to this, where it seems like the Dems really do believe there's enough agitated right-wingers ready to start shooting that they need to walk on eggshells to avoid a civil war

Contrarianism is a luxury that is affordable, if annoying, in times of peace and abundance. It is a juvenile impulse that is seemingly irresistible to a portion of the population

This kind of post drives Bluesky insane with rage, but will win Gavin states like Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. Read the comments remembering this is an appeal to our shared common decency.
The presidency once served as a reminder of our common humanity. Ronald Reagan described its purpose as building "a nation composed of good and decent people."

A general strike might have stopped the active phase of the coup.
There was no strike or anything like that. Just a few performative protests over the summer.
As it's becoming obvious to everyone except perhaps Americans themselves that the US has positioned itself on the side of autocracies -
