One thing on the + side and important to recognize: the pain of injustice and institutional destruction/corruption doesn't move the needle, but an excruciating economy WILL: it is the only "medicine" that can cure us of the poison that is fascist MAGA. They are making their bed.

The administration's response to the Signal debacle is just suffused with contempt for their own voters. Just an endless belief that the people who support them can be tricked into believing the laziest misdirection imaginable.

NEW: @motherjones.com reports that one of the men renditioned to El Salvador is Neri Alvarado, who was working in Dallas as a baker. An ICE agent told him they were questioning all men with tattoos.

Neri has an AUTISM AWARENESS TATTOO in honor of his 15-year-old brother with autism.

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.
Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.

They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

This may catch the current vibe (bleak, authoritarian), but if #Canada had hired a professional marketer with a pulse on influencing (like me), they would have used color, crafty design, thrown in a maple leaf, and made it more lighthearted. No winning hearts and minds here with the 1984 look.

All these media outlets behind paywalls are doing a disservice to the country.
Trump's imposition of a "$1 spending limit on government credit cards... was done apparently with no knowledge of how essential the cards are to operations. There was no mechanism, for example, to pay for gas for vehicles used to transport patients’ blood samples..."

@chrislhayes.bsky.social 2) ...confirmed my fears. Please stop platforming any washed-up democratic party operatives. These people are rightly reviled for their lack of vision, marketing skills, and for literally losing 2 elections to a con man. I really don't care to hear their pov anymore.

@chrislhayes.bsky.social 1) I sighed when I saw you were paneling a Democratic operative/strategist tonight. Could we find someone less deserving of your platform than one of these people? Of course the first thing she said "I didn't know the Pentagon had secret plans for a war w/ China" confirmed

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado.

11,000 people showed up.

Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.
