Chuck Schumer still thinks it's the era of polite letters and handshake deals. But those days are over.
Fighting the rise of authoritarianism demands steely resolve - not compromise. Schumer’s time is up.
Only bold, unflinching leadership can save our democracy.

It is an awful, sickening feeling to be erased by your own country.
Scientists at the CDC were ordered late on Friday to withdraw any pending publications, at any scientific journal, that mention terms such as “transgender,” “immigrant,” “LGBT” or “pregnant people.”

Make his life miserable.
Expose his ignorance and sociopathy.
Oppose and condemn and marginalize him.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

By pardoning the most violent January 6th attackers, Trump is telling them to commit more violence in his name, and if and when they do — he will protect them.

to recap:
— Trump was *for* the TikTok ban
— which the GOP Congress passed
— and the GOP Supreme Court upheld
— and even though Biden said he wouldn't enforce the ban, TikTok shut down anyway
— so that Trump could "save" it
— and the media fell for it

Every holiday season since 1966, the city of Gävle, Sweden, has erected a giant Yule goat made of straw in the town square.
This festive symbol has become famous not only for its impressive size, but also for its history of repeated arson. ➡️ w.wiki/_BC2

Establishment Democrats continue to double down, somehow not realizing they're destroying their own party's viability by alienating the Left. I'm afraid they will continue to lose if they continue to ignore voters & representatives farther to the Left.
The fact AOC lost the vote for the oversight committee to Gerry Connolly (because of Nancy Pelosi told democrats who to vote for) tells me they haven’t learned a fucking thing since the election.

This is "rich" -- Forbes posted a "poor me" article about how the billionaire lifestyle is SO expensive & that inflation hits them too.
