There are only three political positions in America today
1) I like the fascism
2) I'll acquiesce to the fascism (reasons for this one vary: cowardice, access, denial, misguidedly thinking that acquiescence is savvy, etc)
3) I oppose the fascism
The rest is details

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple.
Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

HASSAN: What is habeas corpus?
NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country

It has always amazed me that this was a major priority for over 77 million US-Americans
The GOP tax plan means:
❌ Millions lose insurance
❌ Kids lose school meals
❌ Costs rise for health, housing, food
All so billionaires get another tax break?
This isn’t governing—it’s looting.

Let go of the circular firing squad of the Left: it's a weapon of the Right to sow dissent amongst their opponents.
Stop falling for it. Don't reject people with whom you need to cultivate solidarity right now. Which means nonvoters. 🪡

Seth Rogan is my hero.
“It’s amazing that others in this room underwrote electing a man who, in the last week, single-handedly destroyed all of American science. It’s amazing how much good science you can destroy with $320 million and RFK Jr, very fast.”

It always boggles my mind that I, a journalist, am expressly forbidden from trading stocks, but members of Congress, with vastly greater knowledge of market-moving news, are allowed to profit by front-running markets, and so may profit by in essence stealing from the public they represent.

Everything was visible for Americans to make a decision, we chose as a society that it would be better to have a fragile, deranged, racist over moving the country forward. That so many people made that choice speaks volumes about who we are and how far we have to go.

West Coast numbers are coming in, and estimates have now surpassed 5 million. People are still pouring into the streets—nearly 2% of the American population is rising up. America, we are so proud of you. You did it.

Wow! Updated estimates now put turnout at 2.3 million — and we’re still waiting on reports from coalition members in other areas, with some events yet to begin! If you’re free, come out and join us. Over 1,400 events are planned across the country.
