the sooner people internalize this about the dems, stop projecting their fantasies on the party, and start demanding more, the better off we’ll all be.
they spent 4 years studiously avoiding confrontations with the supreme court because they have no interest in court reform. they’re quiet about ICE because they do not want to a single thing about it when they have power. it’s a shitty reality to confront but it is the reality.

Not even a danger but a certainty given how liberals are OBSESSED with training... see cops.
Another danger lies in Dems championing a “trained ICE” as somehow better than what we have now.

There's been a strange thing with the rise of social media over the past couple of decades. Once individuals are "done" with a story, they seem to assume everyone else has moved on too. The fact is that YOU moving on from something has nothing to do with whether others are still focused on it.

Are some anti-trans people trans in denial? Maybe, but, like saying homophobes are all just secretly closested gay people, you are once again blaming a minority for their own oppression if you think this is standard.
The overwhelming majority of transphobes are cis people. Focus on them.

Thiessen having a good chuckle about his fired liberal colleagues - some of whom he worked with for 15 years - is a good reminder that token conservatives at mainstream news outlets are/were there to destroy them, not to contribute to them.

in retrospect it was just great how milquetoast centrists decided the best way to react to the AWESOME police corruption and brutality exposed by the George Floyd protests was to go "actually, defund the police is a bad slogan, the Unserious Left needs to shut up" bsky.app/profile/mcle...
They've known they have little to no control over these forces since 2020 and all chose to ignore it during the Democratic administration that might have given them some cover to do something about it!

Hakeem Jeffries still refuses to endorse the Democratic Nominee for NYC mayor but has plenty of praise for Eric Adams who, left the party, openly supports Trump, & cut a deal with Trump to disappear the DOJ’s bribery & corruption charges against him. Can’t imagine why the Dem Party has 26% approval🤔

Once again, the moderate position is for ICE to be abolished and Border Patrol to be gutted, and massive civil rights prosecutions leading to prison time. Anybody running on anything less is kicking the can down the road.

Forum mods quickly learn who habitual line steppers are and the answer for them is almost always “no” & it’s fine to swiftly suspend and ban them for anything even questionably close to the line.
Wasting your time with semantics is entertainment to them so they should be summarily destroyed imo.

Two NATO allies sending warships to escort a Gaza aid flotilla is evidence that the US was never "working tirelessly" to stop anything Israel was doing. But the US would never do that, you say. Exactly. But it'd be trivially easy for any American President to have changed that. That's a choice.

After this quote is a bit of framing Pritzker has notably been using more: he goes through and names how "we can't rely" on all three branches of the federal government to have any loyalty to the Constitution. The implication of who else that leaves in the American system of government isn't subtle.
Pritzker: What's at stake here is free speech. It's our constitution and our way of life. Do we really want the president intimidating people, organizations to get others fired? People ought to be standing up and speaking out.

I am not actually sure these corporations, or institutions writ large, are in fact thinking about the regime or its future. They're making short term deals that benefit them, either because they want to do mergers, or purge their own troublemakers. These people are quarterly thinkers with no vision.
