I want people to understand this.
For many of them, democracy ended when Obama was elected twice and Black Lives Matter rose to prominence.
This is them “fixing” a system that felt broken and newly unsafe to them.

What we all seemingly failed to understand is just how many of our "countrymen" were perfectly willing to resort to treason to end democracy. And all in service of a convicted felon and lifelong conman who wasn't even very good at it.

Someone else skeeted this earlier, but don't call them "tariffs." Call them "Trump taxes" or "Trump price bumps" or similar. "Tariffs" sounds administrative, neutral & doesn't tell a story. Brand it with something sticky that tells a story & reinforces Trump is responsible for prices skyrocketing.

Going to start a sports team called The Urines, so that no matter how we do, our fans can always chant "We're no. 1!"

Trump won *98%* of farm-dependent counties in America.
Now the farmers in those counties are begging Trump not to deport their workers.

Bondi must be asked at her confirmation hearing if Trump lost the election in 2020. Unless her answer is yes, the Senate must reject her nomination. You can't be an election denier & the attorney general joycevance.substack.com/p/gaetz-out

95% of jobs in the U.S. require a background check. But Sen Bill Hagerty (TN) is on TV this morning saying that Trump’s Cabinet nominees shouldn’t be forced to have one?
Absolutely not. Call your Senators & demand full FBI checks. Americans want to feel safe & we won’t be with an unvetted Cabinet.

You may not be aware that over the last 50 years, the Supreme Court has chipped away at your Miranda rights case by case, rendering them weak and ineffective. You no longer have the right to remain silent, to an attorney, not with the foece you used to. Time for a history lesson. /🧵
Please document the gutting of Miranda in the US. I’ll wait.

Everyone, journalists, we need to stop referring to SNAP as "food stamps." It's unhelpful. Here is why.
In 2008, the "food stamp" program was replaced with the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, which provides an EBT card to benefit recipients. 1/

How the foundation of Bluesky was built is so crucial for the future of social — so much so that @rmac.bsky.social & I wrote a whole chapter about it in our book. From day 1, @jay.bsky.team was insistent on independence, a decision that was extraordinarily prescient. (1/2)

April M. Perry has become President Joe Biden's 214th successful nominee, with the majority of those appointees being women or persons of color. In 2023, Vice President-elect JD Vance had opposed her nomination as U.S. attorney in Chicago.

If Dems flip #CA45 & #CA13, then the U.S. House majority will have literally come down to the 3 NC the GOP flipped thanks to its new gerrymander.
And that itself hinged on NC's supreme court flipping in 2022.
