It’s gonna take a general strike… occupy… mass protests. The “Dems” won’t do it for us. We are the answer we’ve been waiting for.

Democracy dies not with a bang but with a (barely audible) whimper about ‘norms’ and ‘precedents’…

SoCal friends and family: it seems like a weird time to announce shows in your region, but we're bringing some good energy down there soon to celebrate the 40th trip around the sun for our bassist Karthik "Fierce Fingers" Suresh!

3 shows. We will bringing all the hugs, hi-fives, and good vibes.

Umm… maybe the concept of democracy is incompatible with the concept of billionaires? Like you can have one but not both?

I was preparing to pitch an op-ed on the nationwide protests calling for President Yoon's resignation, aiming to provide global context amid the limited international coverage.

Given the urgency, I’m sharing it now. I didn’t expect events to escalate this quickly. #SouthKorea #Democracy

Epic listen, in which @harrylitman.bsky.social admits @emptywheel.bsky.social goes so deep on the details he gets the bends when they talk… and also Marcy casts spells ✨👏 Legendary & necessary 💙
@harrylitman.bsky.social and I taped this last week. We had a substantial discussion of how Boris Epshteyn might appear in a Jack Smith report, without knowing Trump's people were going to narc him out for a shakedown yesterday.

Its a great time to catch up on Ball of Thread! If you like American History or True Crime, this is for you. One of the best ways to prepare yourself for what's next with Trump.

And journalists should check it out so that they can actually put what's happening now into context.

Also note this is a distraction technique, same as they're exploiting McBride's success. Where she pees is nowhere near as consequential as Trump's efforts to loot the government, but now the right wing is looking only at the former, aided by lies that she started this fight.
the lesson of the election isn’t “we should give up on trans rights,” it’s that the GOP took an issue that negatively impacted almost no one and made it a headliner. why would it help to surrender on an issue if they can create a grievance from thin air?
