History hopefully repeats itself. Thank you historian @hcrichardson.bsky.social for reminding us that at least some of this is not new.
Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

This is excellent. This is the kind of guidance needed in the face of a lawless regime.
We want to speak directly to members of the Military and the Intelligence Community.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Stefanik's NY governor announcement is straight from the Trump School of Belligerent Capital-Letter Nicknames. Even after last week's GOP drubbing, she's treating Trump as a winning role model. What can she be thinking? It's a mystery. Or maybe not. @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/elise-stef...
Elise Stefanik’s Bad Bet on MAGA Politics
For a promise of power, she has let herself be yanked around. Now she’s launched a Trumpian campaign for governor of New York.

What we saw on No King's Day, with people on the streets was the tip of the iceberg of people who feel the way those crowds do. For every one who made it to the street, there is a host of others who wish they could have been there.
