But really, it's probably more likely to be sh!t posts, gripes, and poorly made slice of life jokes. This won't' be the first account to fail to live up to its ambition.

I feel this. I protested, I donated, I voted, my part of the country went the right way... and yet.
To our eternal shame.
I’ve never truly understood the Good Germans till now.
What WERE they supposed to do? There is a sense of helplessness in this situation - of waiting to be told what to do, thinking SURELY someone will put a STOP to this - and of it never happening...
All our lies exposed.

They are openly corrupt.
The Supreme Court is an illegitimate body.
I keep seeing posts from lawyers saying SCOTUS can’t just ignore the plain text of the constitution
Has that stopped this court before? They do whatever Trump wants and invent a rationalization later

A Supreme Court with a Justice that flies the flag upside down when his political party isn’t in power is the same Supreme Court with a Justice that allows illegally drawn maps to be used to help rig an election.

This had to have been the shortest sighted decision of all time. The amount of suffering people have purchased with their $20 donation has many of my friends and family declaring "never again."
Just know, if you donate, ActBlue never stops punishing you. You'll be getting texts from a Democrat running for city council in Kupreanof Alaska.

I don't understand the doom and gloom. Netflix owning WB+HBO feels like an infinitely better configuration than under Discovery. When I heard the announcement, I was like "oh thank god." Because at least part of NetFlix cares about content.
All the hate and fear around the Netflix/Warner Bros deal is both silly and comically shortsighted.

Mamdani needs to do this in NYC on Day 2.
This is great. Very few people want to go to jail, get disbarred or die for this regime. Make them fight you. They will cave.

Why do we assume this is progress centrist, when the NYT has slowly, yet inexorably, turned itself into a right wing water carrying rag?
There is such a thirst in some progressive centrist circles that they will look at the Trump administration as a model to get things done. I think its worth addressing the argument. This is from Mark Dunkelman, author of the widely praised "Why Nothing Works."

We now have an unprecedented level of income & wealth inequality.
It isn’t acceptable that the top 1% owns more wealth than the bottom 93%, while a majority of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.
We must stand together & create an economy that works for all, not just the few.

One benefit about Trump directing the AG to prosecute his enemies and nobody saying boo. Is that the next Dem presidential candidate can run on prosecuting these dipshit and just point at Bondi when MAGA says boo.
I cannot stress enough how hard we need to prosecute these fascists.

I’m still struggling with the fact that ICE “brown shirts” went to a taco shop and thought they would get served.
