this is an object lesson in why praising Dems when they do the right thing - and not just castigating them for doing the wrong thing - is good politics for those of us who want them to fight
Van Hollen raised his profile by doing the right thing and the lesson he learned was keep fighting
Van Hollen raised his profile by doing the right thing and the lesson he learned was keep fighting
“Mr. Van Hollen saw a different lesson [from his role in the Abrego Garcia case]. ‘This finger in the wind stuff has got to end. We also need to stop deluding ourselves that the problem is all about messaging, or about volume, or style. We don’t just need to fight. We need to fight for something.’”

People keep insisting Democrats aren’t saying this out loud all over the place
Because those people want you to hate Democrats.
Ask yourself why, and block them.

Duckworth: "Let's make it clear -- the President of the United States essentially just declared war on a major city in his own nation. This is not normal. This is not acceptable behavior."

I feel like people left their brains at home. Stop looking for scapegoat so you can hate the Democratic Party. It’s helping no one except the Republicans.

Good job, Chief Justice Roberts and the rest of you robed monarchists on the Supreme Court. You anointed a king and wrecked the Constitution, you dumb, cretinous motherfuckers.

Kamala Harris spent 107 days giving us hope, joy, and a positive and exciting vision of the future.
Anyone who says that was a waste of time is a genuinely miserable wretch who should be ignored and shunned.

Such a good point on SCOTUS hypocrisy when it comes to Trump vs Biden:
They let a nationwide injunction kill Biden’s student loan relief when they had a chance to rule on it.
5 months into Trump’s presidency, suddenly nationwide injunctions are a grave threat to executive power and they must rule.

when history reflects on how trump managed to so quickly and so thoroughly kneecap democracy, the role of the Roberts Court cannot be overstated. trump's an amoral monster, but his biggest successes were only possible thanks to conservative justices who would bless them

If I see another snarky “sTrOnGLy wOrDEd LeEtteR” post from a leftist troll I will fucking throw up. Letters are how the congressional record has been established since the birth of the nation. The Declaration of Independence was a goddamn strongly worded letter. It’s how shit gets done.

So what happens if (when?) there's retaliation in a "blue" city or state?
I can't imagine there will be the same rally around the flag we saw (and saw exploited) post 9/11.

It's pretty notable that mainstream, establishment discourse never ever ever considers giving liberal politicians credit for crime reductions. It's almost axiomatic that if crime goes down under a center-left leader it's either unremarked upon, or must be driven by something else.

These protests don’t mean a thing unless ppl follow through on doing their basic civic duties. This means stop dogging democrats. Stop it. It means voting D in every election for every office. It means stop being regressive and be progressive. Keep Dem momentum going- like you didn’t do 2024 or 2016
