By accepting the frames constructed by our opponents, we neglect to create our own. That is how they win.
It's not that Democrats can't frame—they have before.
It's that, as a group, they fail to understand the need for constant and systematic framing.
...And the need to STOP TAKING THE BAIT.

I’m tired of watching politicians treat war as strategy & healthcare as a luxury
Of speeches about peace from people who sign off on bombs
Of working people in my congressional district being asked to settle for rent hikes, ER bills, & crumbs
What if we stopped settling?
What if we demanded more?

This would be a great time for any FBI agents who actually mind being ruled by idiots to make their move.

according to conservatives on the court, the constitution does not protect your right to your own body but does enable the government to ship you off to a foreign gulag without any hope of return
NEW: The Supreme Court's conservatives halt a preliminary injunction that had restricted the Trump administration's ability to rapidly deport migrants to "third countries" where they have never lived and where allegedly face torture. All three liberals dissent. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...
![DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY, ET AL. v.
D.V.D., ET AL.
ON APPLICATION FOR STAY
[June 23, 2025]
The application for stay presented to JUSTICE JACKSON
and by her referred to the Court is granted. The April 18,
2025, preliminary injunction of the United States District
Court for the District of Massachusetts, case No. 25–cv–
10676, is stayed pending the disposition of the appeal in the
United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit and disposition of a petition for a writ of certiorari, if such writ is
timely sought. Should certiorari be denied, this stay shall
terminate automatically. In the event certiorari is granted,
the stay shall terminate upon the sending down of the judgment of the Court.
JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR, with whom JUSTICE KAGAN and
JUSTICE JACKSON join, dissenting.
In matters of life and death, it is best to proceed with caution. In this case, the Government took the opposite approach. It wrongfully deported one plaintiff to Guatemala,
even though an Immigration Judge found he was likely to
face torture there. Then, in clear violation of a court order,
it deported six more to South Sudan, a nation the State Department considers too unsafe for all but its most critical
personnel. An attentive District Court’s timely intervention only narrowly prevented a third set of unlawful removals to Libya.

Reminder that seven Democratic senators voted to confirm Kristi Noem and six Dem senators declined to vote either way.
She was confirmed, 59-34.
The good faith experiment is clearly over, and we need the Democratic senators who didn't stand against her nomination to be loud as hell right now.

Regarding the assault on Alex Padilla, Susan Collins is concerned and Lisa Murkowski is shocked.
If I had a nickel for every time Sen. Collins and Sen. Murkowski expressed "shock" and "concern" over Trump's leadership, maybe it'd be enough money to lobby them to do something about it.
