This is could well be a historic midterm for Democrats.

Don’t waste it on centrists who won’t come through when it matters. Run vocal progressives.

You won’t end Trumpism without anti-corruption crusaders and warriors for social and economic justice who believe in taxes & big, universal programs.
Those claiming Dems should retreat on racial justice aren't hard-headed realists, they're pushing against the electoral tide rather than leaning into it. The story of Gen Z isn't about racist backlash or red-pilled young men. It's the most racially progressive generation in American history. 🧵

It’s wild to suggest this is a circular firing squad or something when it’s millions of citizen Democrats who hate it versus 47 elected Democrats who conspired to surrender for nothing.

We’re not fighting “each other,” we’re fighting you. There’s only a few dozen of you, but you hold all the power.
But there are real dangers out there that must be fought; and energy spent fighting each other is energy lost to that bigger fight.

Trump officials are living on base and in military properties because they know the military will protect those properties in the event of mass protests against the government, right?
Miller is living on a military base with controlled access, and others are in military housing for the same reason.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and several other Trump officials are using Washington-area homes built for senior members of the military. Some former residents are worried that the break with tradition could make it more difficult for some admirals and generals to find affordable housing.
Trump Officials Move Into Military Residences in D.C. Area
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth moved into a home at Fort McNair traditionally reserved for the Army’s vice chief of staff. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and others also now live in military housing.

It’s so fucked up, I was helping my friend put up Halloween decorations outdoors like I do every year and they were throwing tear gas canisters three blocks over by a church

lmao the military cosplay is really something
CPD officers are not in riot gear or gas masks. Not interacting with the crowd except to form a barrier between the feds and locals. Behind CPD, federal agents form a huddle near their armored vehicle.

RFK jr in the back looking healthy as always
Finally, a reporter asked the question I’ve been screaming at my TV.

📌 Why do you keep lying about immigrants getting free healthcare?

And Trump went straight into his same old word salad mode of incoherent nonsense. No answer.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

the kimmel thing is bad but as long as they arent rounding people up indiscriminately based on race, building concentration camps and talking about eradicating those they deem sexual deviants, i think we’ll be ok

This is one of the weaknesses of civility politics, it falls for the form. That humiliating content farming is debate-shaped, we have to treat it as legitimate! Fox News is news-shaped, we have to treat it as legitimate! The Free Press is newspaper-shaped. etc etc.

“awful people don’t deserve to be killed, but they don’t deserve to be praised, either” is apparently a thought too complex for the pundit mind

Yeah well we have this little thing called freedom of the press. Yeah it’s pretty neat. 3 guys control the media and social media and they have more wealth than half the planet. If you ask about gun control they put you in a dog cage

I wrote about the absolute moral necessity of Congress impeaching a president who represents a threat to democracy, the nation, and every person on the planet—and also about the practical necessity of doing so, because not doing so tells a incoherent story.
