I WANT TRANSFORMATION, NOT RESTORATION.

"if Democrats recognize the moment for what it is and meet it with discipline and clarity, the 2026 midterms won’t simply be a check on power. They’ll be the beginning of restoration."

Remember Thomas Jacob Sanford, the Iraq veteran who burned up a Mormon Church in September? Remember Nigel Edge, the Iraq veteran sniper who shot up a bar from his boat in Cape Fear, also in September?

Keep track of how differently we speak of them than Rahmanullah Lakanwal.

One reason we failed in the past is bc we didn't build up popular opposition to the crimes, whether it's torture or drone-killing or even attacking Congress.

Now is the time to do that, not after Dems retake power.
If Democrats are ever in power again what’s going to happen is the idea of holding this administration accountable for breaking the law every single day is immediately going to be made out as the greater breach of the rules.

He is just selling these pardons

Isn’t that a crime?

Drug dealers, Medicare ripoff specialists and other others just seem to be lining up for the Trump pardon

Now I understand the whole point of the cryptocurrency

We should call it crypto bribery
