I would also suggest that you shouldn’t want anyone who shares your beliefs to get in trouble, either! Seems counterproductive.
leveloneminiboss.bsky.social
I’ll risk it under the right circumstances, but if you’ve got a way for me to participate that minimizes that risk, I’m inclined to listen.

You gotta meet people where they’re at.

Also, re: the sneering “dont want to get in trouble”: yeah, I really don’t. Who does? I got kids and a sick wife, I’d really rather not spend three days inside an ICE detention center.

No, of course not, that would be the Wrong Rock.

I really don’t know what the “right” way to protest is. I think everyone ought to try what they think is best and let’s see what works.

If you think the No Kings protests are ineffective, I strongly encourage you to go out there and show us how to do it right, but I’m sure you can understand why I worry that this is just a Wrong Rock game.

it is no wonder that 50501, a movement of radlibs who are very upset but don’t want to get in trouble, would be boosting superficial activism.

superficial activism has its place, but if that place is front and center, it kills whatever movement it is skimming off the top of.

I have trouble reading things like this and not seeing it as tantamount to right wing agitprop tbh.

“Large scale popular protest with growing participation across society is just superficial activism.”

This is the nation that we are now. This nation is unbelievably sick.

I don’t necessarily agree that republicans aren’t jockeying, but it’s typical for the out party to be more overt than the in party with a viable VP.

Republican Rep. Cory Mills allegedly threatened to release nude images of a 26-year-old woman and to harm her future boyfriends after she ended their relationship.

Now, a judge just ordered Mills, 45, not to come within 500 feet of the defendant & ruled that she is “a victim of dating violence.”
Judge grants ex-girlfriend restraining order against Rep. Cory Mills
A Florida judge said Rep. Cory Mills had cyberstalked an ex-girlfriend and barred the lawmaker from going near her residence or workplace or referencing her on social media.

Remember when Stephen Miller claimed the Chicago apartment raid was on a building “filled with Tren de Aragua terrorists”?

Well, DHS has now dropped the number of alleged TdA members arrested in the building from 2 to 1.
Just one "verified" Tren de Aragua member and one U.S. citizen with an active warrant were among the 37, DHS said, without saying how it had verified that gang affiliation. Others taken that day, the agency said, were "illegal aliens."

Trump claims ICE’s reign of terror in Chicago is targeting the “worst of the worst.”

But out of the 1,000 undocumented immigrants that have swept up, the agency has only cited 10 men with a criminal background.

Don’t believe his lies for a second.

Trump says migrants drive violent crime in Illinois. But ICE can’t find many violent criminals.
Masked ICE agents and other federal forces showed up in Chicago to go after gangsters. Instead, they keep catching people who are just living their lives.

So like this is funnier and more offensive than anything anyone else said about Kirk that got them fired

Trump at the Charlie Kirk memorial event: "They fired sniper rifles at ICE agents, and me. But I made a turn at a good time. I made a turn at a good time. Charlie couldn't believe it, actually."

Yup, I'm being a prick.

(But also, I genuinely think that MTG has no real commitments to the Republican Party and coulda been Dem if she had, like, a particularly progressive Crossfit group.)

And just like that, Governor Pritzker saves the day. Received a second email saying Illinois now has its OWN health insurance Marketplace. JB said he’s been state proofing IL from Trump & his cronies & he meant it. A Democrat doing all the right things every day. Thank you @govpritzker.illinois.gov
vintagewingnut.bsky.social
Was informed I’m being kicked off the Marketplace & will no longer be covered by the ACA in 2026, which is the only insurance I could (barely) afford. It’s either close my business & get an office job, or have no health insurance. This is happening to millions of Americans. Republicans are soulless
leveloneminiboss.bsky.social
Well, manosphere douchebags who try to weaponize charity speak definitely use the word "accountability" all the time, but Dems shouldn't talk like them.
leveloneminiboss.bsky.social
Yeah. And, I meant the barbarians at the gate (if not inside the keep) so I’ll take the short term rental.

But I also won’t be too sad if the court strikes it down and gives us a solid 3-1 map, either.

What Dem strategists should ask is “what can we learn from this?” Obviously there’s Mamdani’s incredible charisma, and you can’t teach that, but…
leveloneminiboss.bsky.social
This could quite easily be two pickups in 2026, but both be wiped out in a Dem midterm.

Bezos can certainly afford to operate WaPo at a loss for as long as it takes MAGA to realize it’s on their side, but…what’s the point?
