Pritzker: The reckoning is here. And now that this culture of timidity is on display, these same do-nothing Democrats want to blame our losses on the defense of Black people, trans kids, and immigrants, instead of on their own lack of guts and gumption.

Anti-Trump rallies held across the U.S. to protest administration's policies
Some of the protests are drawing on themes from the American Revolutionary War, as Saturday marks 250 years since the Battles of Lexington and Concord in Massachusetts launched the conflict.

Disagree. Many MANY saw it, but just like always, the loudest voices in the room chose to ignore it and press ahead with their half-assed plans. A LARGE COLLECTIVE HAVE BEEN SAYING THIS FOR YEARS!!!!
Fascism is now in the algorithms, the neural pathways, the social interactions. How did we fail to see all this? “We wanted to see Trump in terms of his absences, so that our way of seeing the world would go unchallenged,” Timothy Snyder writes.
What Does It Mean That Donald Trump Is a Fascist?
Trump takes the tools of dictators and adapts them for the Internet. We should expect him to try to cling to power until death, and create a cult of January 6th martyrs.

Missouri sucks 99.9% of the time but there is something brewing there..
ELECTION RESULT: A team of city council members in Rolla, Missouri, have been pushing anti-LGTB policies, including a ban on drag shows and book censorship.
Voters just ousted all three of these city councilors who were running for reelection, backing candidates backed by a local LGBT group.

LITERALLY JUST SAY NO!!!! Release a letter like that principal! Say this shit is gross and awful!!! Don’t just let it slide. Don’t comply blindly. Defend those who cannot defend themselves i.e. A THIRD GRADER!!!!!
The people of Sackets Harbor—and especially the school administrators and teachers—should be an example for us all that when Trump's goons come knocking, telling them HELL NO can work.
You do not need to comply in advance. These fascist fucks are powerful but not invincible.

Pretty simple proposition for Senate Dems. They either vote to keep Musk/Trump's party going or they vote NO to rein in Musk/Trump's continued destruction of our govt (and our democracy).

if Seth Moulton gets this there’s no excuse for other Democratic officials. A yes vote on funding levels that the administration already says they think is just a suggestion is an abdication of responsibility

With no concessions for Dems, you’ll vote a blind yes? SHUT IT DOWN, PUT IT ON THE DEMS! Keebler Elf Mike Johnson will call the House back ASAP to give Dems what they want. We need Dems to own it. Also, you’ve passed on how many % of votes this year? Pass on this one too, John.
The weeks of performative “resistance” from those in my party were limited to undignified antics.
Voting to shut the government down will punish millions or risk a recession.
I disagree with many points in the CR, but I will never vote to shut our government down.

And then you get your soundbites on the House floor with your “Mean Tweets”…give me a break. You had free speech on the floor today!!!! You had a right to get your soundbites!!! AND HE HAS A GREEN CARD, YOU KNOW THAT BUT YOU WANT ANOTHER PITY PARTY SOUNDBITE! @repmoskowitz.bsky.social

HE IS A GREEN CARD HOLDER! NO LONGER ON A STUDENT VISA! Disagreeing with his speech is allowed, Jared. But you can’t detain a green card holder, shove them STATES AWAY to Louisiana WITHOUT charging them with a crime. You’re toeing the line with repubs, Jared. It’s sick. @repmoskowitz.bsky.social

HEY another member censured today ☺️
Only 24 members have been censured in history…and right now, after the House took A FULL MONTH to elect a speaker, they’re now using precious time to censure a member. Reminder: censure votes pause all other legislative business on the docket.

the thing about chasing what you think is public opinion is that if and when things turn you will have made a bunch of statements and taken a bunch of stances that you’ll have to disavow. probably a better strategy just to say what you actually believe and stand by it. anyway, this guy sucks.
