Socialism is what they called public power.
Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

There will be more cases like Kilmar Abrego Garcia. More illegal deportations. More mistakes.
And they’re laying the groundwork to deport American citizens - permanently - to El Salvador’s prisons.
It’s not hypothetical.
Republicans must join us & draw the line. Or watch our democracy disappear.

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you.
The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

Democratic leaders should be seeking to peel off Republicans of good conscience in H/S (if there are any) to stop Musk before it is too late and he tanks the welfare state, the dollar, and national security. There has to be some break glass effort before all is lost. We have a matter of weeks.

Democrats' playbook for Trump 2.0: Tune out the noise and focus on economic issues

We grow up with the unacceptable, and accommodation becomes a tool we use to make our lives easier. Accommodating the unacceptable is often easier than doing the right thing. Eventually, we use it to let ourselves off the hook, because that’s easier, too.

HELL YES:
Michael Steele delivers a genius game-plan to absolutely DERAIL the GOP.
Democrats need to STOP helping Republicans. “Let them choke on (their majority).”
His words were BLUNT:
“Y'all need to chill on this, all this kumbaya partisan bi-partisan crap.” He added.
