If we ever have a free election again, and are fortunate enough to loosen the NatCs grip on power, we must NEVER allow another impotent administration like Biden’s administration to get power. We must NEVER allow them to weakly allow fascism to fulminate. We need to hound them.

BTW, Democrats are looking to @larrysummers.bsky.social about advice on the party moving forward. He also supported Cuomo over Mamdani.
Maybe it's time for this entire class of people to retire permanently from social life. They have money. They'll be fine.

That old metaphor about the frog and the boiling water isn’t true: If you put a frog in a pot of water and slowly raise the heat, the frog will jump out before it gets boiled to death.

It’s important for people to realize that the Epstein scandal will not lead to a peaceful resolution through voting.

@marcelias.bsky.social: We "need to tell Republicans that if they take 5 seats, we're going to put 30 seats on the table... When people say to me 'don't bring a knife to a gunfight,' I don't even want to bring a gun to a gunfight. I want to bring missiles to the gunfight."

I spent my formative years reading about Latin American dictatorships - disappearances, torture, etc. - all perpetrated by individuals trained at the School of the Americas. And every moment of that reading was spent thinking: sooner or later this will all happen here as well.

This being the case, blue states need to exploit this to our benefit. Blue states must enshrine birthright citizenship and incentivize immigration. Red state losses should be our gain. Investing in immigration will ensure we maintain economic advantage as the country Balkanizes.
as for the upshot of the decision, the republican court has put the citizen children of non-citizens in a position similar to that of free blacks during the antebellum period. their right to enjoy the privileges and immunities of american citizenship will vary according to state borders

We are completely on our own. The Democrat leadership is not strong enough to face this moment. We need someone with grit and instead we have this.
After an incredibly heavy and soul-draining week, it feels so good to be back home in Minnesota for a few days with my family. My heart is full of gratitude just being here—surrounded by the people and the place that ground me.

1. I’ve spent a few days on BlueSky, and am reminded why I don’t spend time here. Democrats spend endless energy analyzing, complaining and perseverating on every move Trump makes. Dem leaders are weak, ineffectual and cowardly.
