Nothing that can help regular people is possible. Everything that can hurt regular people is easy to do. This is basically how most politicians act right now.

This is why you don't make friends with those people. You don't meet them halfway. You don't accommodate them. You don't try to understand them. You don't make peace with them. You don't "set aside politics."

i am increasingly bothered by terms like "showdown" or "face-off" or "clash" when used to describe corrupt and fascist power coming up against resistance because there's an implied symmetry that does not exist.

This tells you that Democrats have done a terrible job at explaining how ID laws are voter suppression laws in fancy clothes.
Pew Research Center poll: 83% of U.S. adults say they support "requiring all voters to show government-issued photo identification to vote."

That includes 71% of Democrats.

Among those who favor this idea:
—76% of black Americans
—82% of Hispanics

We are asking the secret police if they would pretty please follow existing laws. That’s pathetic. But that’s as far as Chuck will go.
Our DHS reform demands are exceedingly reasonable.

We're asking ICE to do nothing more than follow the standards that the vast majority of law enforcement agencies already follow.

Republicans, the ball is in your court. The clock is ticking.

“election partners”? The Federal government has *no* roll in elections. Never has. It’s a state matter.
This is really suspicious. They’re up to something.

So, incredibly, the White House has chosen to escalate in blue Minnesota and retreat in Maine to protect a vulnerable GOP Senator.

It's confirmation that Trump-Vance-Miller view ICE as a partisan govt-backed militia to attack blue America while propping up their regime. 1/

Walz is wrong. "he understands right and wrong"? Bullshit. He took a 50,000 cash bribe on camera. He says he will persecute any protestor. He is a racist. The fact that Walz can't get this is just crazy. JFC

For any elected official who needs to hear this, I impart a lesson learned from the NFL:

When the other team is tired and on the back foot, you don’t call a timeout so they can catch their breath. You grind their fucking face into the dirt until the final whistle blows and you’ve won the game.
