this is such a depressing misread of why Trumpism wins

American voters aren't drawn to parables

They want an enemy and they want to see that enemy hurt
‘The Bible doesn’t tell us about research studies conducted by Saint Peter. Data is going to lose to parables every time.’ (Paraphrasing)

This is why bizarre bs, rumors, and propaganda from this administration are so effective. And - filling in the blanks -why the responses have been so inadequate.

The Trump administration thinks canceling our CBA’s will break us, but we are more than a contract - WE are the union. Learn to protect yourself/your coworkers, defend against unfair discipline + how to use different tactics to build pressure + regain what was in your contract! RSVP: bit.ly/47rimDq

this is the angriest i have ever been at Trump. the corruption and crimes against humanity are one thing, but to disparage the name of the greatest breakfast meal ever designed by man? unforgivable.

Trump: I could

Host: But the Supreme Court has ordered you to facilitate his release.

Trump: I'm not the one making this decision

Host: You're the president!

The Montgomery Bus Boycott lasted a year. The Feb 28 economic blackout is a decent start, but to make an impact we have to keep going. It’s difficult, it’s inconvenient, it can be expensive, but continue to vote with your dollars. Boycott Boycott Boycott

folks really need to accept that "lawful" and "lawless" don't matter, what matters is being able to marshal and deploy force (force of capital, the force of arms, the force of a crowd...) none of the people running the country right now give a good goddamn about the law
Reminder: this is completely lawless

i don't agree with a move like this when the individual in question has sought out a role where they can fuck with tens of millions of people's lives. but regular citizens do deserve the right to be forgotten

The Trump administration has placed two top security chiefs at the U.S. Agency for International Development on leave after they resisted turning over classified material in restricted areas to Elon Musk’s staffers. America, please stand with us—we are fighting to defend this country!
