The Democratic Party has a wing of outright collaborationists. Their identity is entirely defined by presenting as in line with the “common sense” - which they believe necessitates showing nothing but disdain for their constituencies and endless deference to Trump.
They deserve nothing but scorn.

Keep calling your reps. Maybe something will finally shake them out of their stupor. (Yes, I know AOC, Chris Murphy, and a few others have been speaking out, we need more.)
Trump is openly violating the law on a vast and unprecedented scale and everyone is acting like it's normal. NPR had a long story about finding a rare shrew. NYT said he was disregarding "legal niceties." This is an attack on the Constitution as profound as the attempt to overturn the 2020 election.

Schiff voted to confirm Sean Duffy as Transportation Secretary, even after Trump issued the illegal order to freeze federal funding.
History is littered with democracies that lost their freedoms without seeming to notice while it was happening.

20 years ago, Seoul tore down an elevated highway and built a park in its place. “The restored waterway has been a triumph.” It attracts millions of visitors, improves air quality, manages floods, cools the city, and hosts plants & wildlife. [theguardian.com]

Cheonggyecheon stream in the South Korean capital has become an attraction – and helps with flood management, fighting air pollution and cooling the city

The reckless funding freeze by the Trump administration jeopardizes everything from community health centers to cancer research to child care to critical infrastructure projects. It is an unconstitutional power grab that puts lives and livelihoods at risk.

The failure to reckon with transphobia as a currently central motivation of the far right will continue to plague those disturbed by its rise for a decade or more
Rather than standing with trans people many liberals have pursued appeasement and helped the wider shift to the far right in the process

Great opportunity for mass civil disobedience.
Indiana is the latest to double down on banning masks … still parsing through the bill to understand exactly what this means for those who mask for their health & the health of others.
If you stopped masking, please start again. We must normalize them as a public health tool before it’s too late

AI taking over production jobs could only be a good thing if you pair it with UBI for everyone. As Karl Marx said only way for man to free himself from oppression was for him to take control of the means of production.
