many people are going to be tempted to say this proves the weakness of peaceful protest. this is incorrect because it assumes this happening is a failure of peaceful protest rather than the mechanism by which it succeeds
It's hard to overstate how ell-organized the portland march that got gassed was... organizers made the crowd promise to be peaceful, said the march would slow in front of the ICE building but not stop, that we would stick to one chant (ICE Out). They did absolutely everything right and got gassed.

Bluesky is probably not going to like hearing this, but enequivocally, the fact Democrats have been able to get *some* concessions to split DHS and the minibus is an unequivocal W for Chuck Schumer and Democrats.

Those defending the ICE officer who murdered that young mother yesterday are traitors to the human race.

Watching liberals & communists take turns shitting on each others' protests is driving me insane

It's all fine! The big Gaza rallies are fine! The big No Kings rallies are fine! Marches & protests persuade people. They're good!

Kill the contrarian brain worm! Marches rock!

everyone says it for a reason: really important to lock in when it comes to fitness and health. just establishing good habits — regular exercise including strength training, eating a balanced diet — will pay huge dividends
Those who are 35+, what advice do you have for people just entering their 30s?

NEW: Expect some drama in House Dems’ meeting this AM over a vote to honor Charlie Kirk.

Some members undecided. Others voting no or “present.” But some in the party fear anything but a unanimous vote for it will be a messaging coup for the GOP.

House Democrats fume about vote to honor Charlie Kirk: "We're being totally set up"

It's a bizarre and frankly alienating feeling realizing that if you know the basic fact that the murder rate has gone down significantly since 1990 you're in the ~90th+ percentile of fact-knowers
Once again, Gen X is super wrong, but they're confidently wrong.

You are attacking one of the few members of Congress who has said "I want to end the genocide in Gaza" and has tried to make that happen, because she didn't vote for a bad-faith amendment written by Marjorie Taylor Greene.

If you think you're helping end the genocide, let me tell you: you're not.

My record on Palestine speaks for itself. I’m proud of it. One of the strongest in Congress. I throw down for pro-Palestine candidates. Largely unrecognized work. That’s fine. Disagreements are fine, too. But if you want to toss all that for 1 half assed MTG stunt, be my guest. I know where I stand.

The internet is a place people spend a lot of time, and almost everyone you meet is very much on it. When people talk about online people, they’re also online people. Most everyone is. I know this is obvious but I really feel like it hasn’t been fully internalized

be crazy if we just taxed the billionaires and made the things for people instead. imagine if the government was intent on providing for the people. wild.
A few years ago, Zuckerberg’s PR team obsessively pointed to his charitable initiatives with his wife, Priscilla Chan. Funding a private school was a key example of the billionaire fixing problems in his backyard, (per PR team).
Now, that school is shuttering: www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...
The Chan-Zuckerbergs stopped funding social causes. 400 kids lost their school.
Priscilla Chan and Mark Zuckerberg’s retreat from funding social issues forced the closure of a school Chan opened for disadvantaged families in Silicon Valley.

The Booker thing is fine; good even. It's better than anything Senate Dems have done to date. If theyd be doing stuff like this and using unanimous consent and other objections to slow nominations from day 1 we'd be in a better place as a country.
