How Republicans commemorated Thanksgiving in 1869--with a multi-racial/multi-ethnic gathering of people at a table with a centerpiece celebrating universal suffrage and self-government, and with an engraving of Castle Garden, the pre-Ellis Island point of disembarkation for immigrants.

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

At today's GOP presser, Mike Johnson links Mamdani to Obama, "who made health care unaffordable with his own socialist scheme."
Calling subsidized private health insurance a socialist scheme is a quick way to show everyone that when you decry "socialism," you just mean anything that helps people.

This is horrible. How is it possible that we as a nation have allowed ourselves to get to this point of accepted bigotry. How do we get out of it?

They denied him water for 8 days, until he died of dehydration, then covered it up. The US prison system permits — encourages — a group of prison guards to torture a mentally ill Black inmate to death. It happens over and over. You can't "reform" this.

Today, protesting takes bravery that many didn’t realize they had in them considering the current regime. However, protesting alone takes huge courage! We don’t see this account here on Bluesky but thought they need exposure from TikTok.

Dems appear to be rapidly approaching a Churchill/Chamberlain moment of choice in terms of party positioning.
At some point this will need to go further, with serious conversation around reconstruction post-Trump and what institutional changes are required to reverse democratic backsliding.

The Dems breaking through right now are all treating Trump's consolidation of dictatorial power and his subjugation of Blue America as absolutely central facts about our moment.
Zohran highlights that regularly. Trump's threat to nix funding is a case in point.
