What Trump is saying:

1. Jews are generally ok as long as they are good Jews; my kind of Jews; Jews who know their place

2. If a Jew gets out of line, he becomes a much worse thing; a lesser type of human: a Muslim Palestinian
Trump: "Schumer is a Palestinian as far as I'm concerned. He's become a Palestinian. He used to be Jewish. He's not Jewish anymore. He's a Palestinian."

Instead of alienating Rep Green, the Democrats should have heckled trump one at a time and forced the chair to throw them each out individually. It would have entirely overshadowed the previously scheduled propaganda. That's what it would look like to resist.
Last night I stood up for those who need Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security. Democrats will never abandon the fight to make sure every American has a safe, healthy, and financially secure life. #ISaidWhatISaid

Last week an article about Dem campaign software NGP VAN crumbling & this week ActBlue is in disarray. This is not the time for our digital infrastructure to collapse - is anyone running the Democratic party? This is not the time to play dead, lay low or get sloppy.

ActBlue, the Democratic Fund-Raising Powerhouse, Faces Internal Chaos
At least seven senior officials have left the group, setting off deep concerns about its future as it confronts scrutiny from congressional Republicans.

Dr Teresa Borrenpohl, a local Democrat who had previously run for office, was dragged out of a Republican Town Hall in zipties by a private security firm in all black clothing who had 'volunteered' to 'secure' the event. She had been heckling the speaker aka using her right to free speech. #activism
A message from the brave woman - Dr, Teresa Borrenpohl - who was dragged out by unmarked private security in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.
A message from Teresa. ❤️

If you are a media member who would like to cover this story, there are three surrogates who were at the town hall who are available to speak with you.

Please DM to get connected. #idpol

I caught the live cabinet meeting earlier today, and it was just surreal. Trump can't finish sentences, makes blatantly false claims, and he keeps going back to how many votes he got. And around the table, everyone smiles and nods like he's a giant temperamental toddler they are afraid to upset.

Wow, let's all thank James Carville for his example of uninspiring leadership and victim mentality. Seriously, this play dead "strategy" answers so many questions - like how did we get here? Doesn't anyone on the left have a plan to save us? (No, apparently)

Opinion | James Carville: The Best Thing Democrats Can Do in This Moment
There’s nothing Democrats can legitimately do to stop Trump, so we need a tactical pause in our fight to plan for the future.

This is clearly all bluster, except that it serves as proof that activist and resistance isn't a waste of time. Sure, it gives him a target but I'd rather the headlines be about resistance than not. boltsmag.org/new-york-she...

Love the unintentional #Ithaca shoutout in this article about an ICE raid in northern NY- border 'czar' Tom Homan says, "sanctuary cities have made the work of finding ... migrants harder." #SactuaryCities are important. Resistance-at-work

Prepped for the rally in downtown Ithaca today at 2pm, I hope it's packed despite the freezing temps. #ithaca #ice
