you need to pay attention to this ⬇️

Chuck Schumer and ANYONE who supports him need to be ousted from the party. The same way they wrongly treated David Hogg should be the way that Schumer is treated now.
What was the damn point of the shutdown? People missed paychecks, families went without SNAP, and Democrats walked away with nothing.

This isn’t about moderates versus the far left. It’s about who’s actually fighting for people who are struggling.

She nails where so many of us are right now.

The fact that this coming 9 days before the largest peaceful protest in modern American history is absolutely intentional. We will not back down. Trump and Miller can lie, smear, and threaten all they want. They will lose. No Kings, No Kings, No Kings. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

This. Every Dem leader needs to repeat this until te media can't ignore the accusation- and need to keep asking Trump and GOP leaders if they are going to steal the 2026 election.

Make THAT accusation the continual context for Trump's deployment of troops: they are a prelude to a 2026 coup.
Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

More good work by Greg Sargent
JB Pritzker and Gavin Newsom are doing something new and important: They understand Stephen Miller's theory of fascist power politics, and they've developed a theory on how to combat it. More Dems need to reckon with Miller's understanding of the moment.

Inside Stephen Miller’s Secret Plan to Normalize Trump’s Dictator Rule
He wants to supercharge searing civil tensions to get low-information voters to embrace their inner authoritarian. Exactly two Democrats appear to fully grasp this.

Someone should start asking why we’re hearing and seeing Stephen Miller so much all of a sudden.

Today in Politics Chat, I talked about how power sloshes around when a president is checked out, and noted that right now unelected officials like Stephen Miller are trying to grab it. But instead, We the People can take it back and create a better nation.

Things to consider:

Document the violence & violations--on camera, w/photos, saving images--any way you can. Speaking as a historian- it will matter

Point out violations--w/images & text--even if you think it won't matter. It will. It needs to be called out & exposed

You are a witness.
Expose it.

Dude, the mandate has been revoked. People fucking hate you. Your guy is more unpopular than Biden when he got out of the race last year. They’ve rejected every part of your agenda. You’ve been losing elections all across the country this year. You’ve lost your mind. Stand down.
For Stephen Miller, the Reichstag fire happens anew every six hours. Amazing.

From @chicago-cata.bsky.social:

📢 TUESDAY, SEPT. 30th, 5:00 PM, Wacker & Michigan

In response to increased ICE activity & Trump’s threat of sending federal troops to Chicago, we'll take to the streets to say NO to the occupation and invasion of our city.

Stand together to say: NO ICE! NO TROOPS!

again, Democrats should be saying that they will investigate and prosecute those who gave the order and those who carried it out. this is murder and a war crime.
I fully understand how difficult it is to remain focused on any one particular atrocity but this really ought to be a serious scandal and people need to pay heavy prices for this
I think the Trump admin assumed no one would try to find out who the people on the boats they blew up really were

People of Illinois, we need your help.

Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.

We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.
