ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.
If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.
Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

Answer: Because they are co-conspirators who have fully invested in his criminality and cruelty. The Republican Party is the traitor party.

There is simply no value to Democrats in helping with passing budgets or CRs when the administration claims limitless arbitrary impoundment and rescission powers.
Breaking news: The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court to allow it to freeze billions of dollars in foreign aid, potentially setting up the biggest test yet of the president’s authority over federal spending.

If we are seriously facing dictatorship (and we are), this is more useful advice. Perhaps emphasizing bipartisanship is useful in swing areas. But so often this language is used by Dems in blue areas. It is hard to have a mobilized opposition when the official opposition constantly demobilizes.
Words/phrases Democrats should never use:
* bipartisan
* my Republican friends
* real, valid, legitimate, serious, important (to describe issue raised by Republicans)
* yea (when voting on Republican bills)
* distraction (to describe bad thing Republicans did)
* woke (in derogatory sense)

Every "tech" guy is just a VC guy in a subculture that gets called "tech" for no particular reason. Most real "tech" - like, i dunno, cutting edge materials research - doesn't get called that while "a new pizza delivery app" does
I am going to be so fascinated to read the post-mortem about how a revolt lead by tech billionaires lead to a gutting of both scientific research, university education and immigrant labor, all key prerequisites to the very existence of their industries.
I can't stress enough how close U.S. science is to the cliff.

To call Trump’s objectively antisemitic actions “antisemitic,” you must attribute it to others, hedging with “viewed as.” It’s just one opinion.
To say Trump is fighting antisemitism, which he objectively is not doing, you simply state it as fact.
The term for that standard is “media bias.”
