We don’t have to have an opinion on everything

I can’t believe that as recently as a few months ago, the consensus Democratic Party position, even on the left, was that you couldn’t call to ‘abolish ICE.’

Good luck to the Democratic candidates who run in 2028 while opposing the abolition of ICE.

A rogue fascist agency.

Why do you think she’s still going on about this? Ego?

I give a lot of credit to Frank Luntz who taught the Republicans and Fox News how to manipulate their base

We are in this mess because of weak Dem leadership. We should have complained a lot more.

It's shocking to me (1) how few people understand how organized all of this destruction is; (2) how little organized response there's been. We couldn't even motivate a full-throated public defense from the opposing party. They let the smears fester & those smears factored into their defeat in 2024.

The adamant elite refusal to call bullshit is a big part of How We Got Here.

The prevailing cultural attitude for years is you must not, under any circumstances, treat anything as bad faith. You are obligated to find some reasonable idea and engage with that, even if you distort to get there.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

It costs a lot less to house people.

Finland ends homelessness and provides shelter for all in need - scoop.me

In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

I’d say the average American doesn’t have a clue what’s going on. The institutions and media do but they’re all waiting for someone else to do something.

I’m sorry :( Did he lose it already? Or do you mean he will in 2026/2027?

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

The list goes on and on.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

3 minutes is significant. I read an AP @apnews.com article a few days ago that said it was one minute. One minute would not be long enough I think.

Will Democrats make it abundantly clear to people who is to blame for them having no health insurance, fewer hospitals and services and more expensive healthcare for everyone who still has insurance?

Lenka @enjolbear.bsky.social · Jul 4

He’s just on auto pilot selfishness, at every turn. He probably doesn’t think about consequences much. Just living moment to moment in service to his ego and what he thinks will make him feel better.

The lesson for Democrats is clear: Fight fascist oligarchy or get replaced.
