New in PN: Cue the rebellion

"The unfortunate conclusion to the shutdown is going to fuel a rebellion within the Democratic Party, one that has already begun but will only get stronger. And despite all the justified disgust now being expressed at Dems, in the long run it will be good for the party"
Cue the rebellion
The Democratic base is enraged at their party's capitulation — and that's a good thing.

Honoring all who have served to protect our freedom. Your courage and sacrifice mean everything—thank you for serving our country and all of us.

Agree with this. Dems are really good at losing when they should win. If there is a “deal” that doesn’t get what they’ve been fighting for, then Dems wasted this whole shutdown on causing pain to everyday Americans and getting nothing for it.
Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

This is dangerous. Dangerous because this is not only control, be refining history for generations.

New images of the renovated East Wing of the #WhiteHouse have been released. 😂

Is “appalled” the correct feeling or should it be something worse?
omg!

"Demolition crews have begun tearing down part of the White House...

"Construction teams Monday were demolishing a portion of the East Wing, with a backhoe ripping through the structure..."

Is this what we want, America? Masked ICE agents stalking Walgreens in the middle of the day and tackling American citizens? This is our America now?

Not the America I love. Not my America.
ICE raids Walgreens in Chicago—older white agent tackles Black man to the ground—arrests him for "running."

"He's a U.S. citizen! He's American!" a woman yells. "He's my brother-in-law!"

Store location was forced to close "because of everything with ICE"—manager told the rest of the customers.

Our politics has become so toxic that it’s shaping how the next generation sees the world — and not for the better. If we don’t lower the temperature soon, we’ll end up stuck in a cycle that’s hard to break.

Another devastating blow for the disability community as this administration cuts almost every employee responsible for administering funding & oversight for IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act).

Education should be a basic human right..and disabled kids are just as deserving.

Just some guys trying to abduct humans in broad daylight.

Immoral, inhumane, illegal.
This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

Community action works.

If this doesn’t remind you how immoral and authoritarian this administration is and the complete lack of empathy for anyone other than themselves, I don’t know what will help you understand.
“Fuck them kids.”

That’s literally what an ICE agent said when ICE, the FBI et al. raided an apartment in Chicago, including with a Blackhawk helicopter, separated children from their parents, and zip-tied them to each other.

The thing that bothers me so much is not the “we have to enforce our borders and laws.” We do.

It’s the giddy joy and celebration they have at the misery of people far less fortunate.

This morning, President Trump and Secretary Hegseth spoke to 800 high-ranking generals and admirals who had been called away from their stations around the world. At the meeting, Trump said he’d told Hegseth he should use American cities as “training grounds” for the military. 1/6

This spectacle should raise 🚩for every American.

A poor attempt to give Trump the visual of adoring, cheering Generals against the backdrop of a Patton-esque American flag.

What they got was a silent audience, cringe-worthy speeches, and a massive hit to their already non-existent credibility.
“The oath says enemies foreign and domestic… well, we also have domestic.”

Trump tells the generals he plans to use the military against Americans

So…the Commander and Chief…

Are we going to talk about him? ‘Cuz I’m not sure he’s passing the new “Hegseth Anti-Fatty” test.

Something we need to talk about in the wake of this week’s events is the veracity at which young men in #America are being radicalized online.

The deep caverns of the internet are skewing masculinity, elevating extreme ideologies, and poisoning minds. Not right or left, extreme.

As Robert says, it doesn’t have to be this way.

This is a choice we have made as a society - to allow deep economic inequality that allows most of us to suffer and struggle unnecessarily.

It can be changed. It must be changed.
Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice.

It doesn't have to be this way.

This is real. It’s hitting everyone. And as a father of four young kids, it hits hard. I can’t imagine what it’s like for those who are really struggling.
