Look we are all going to be dead or in prison if these fascist psychos continue to hold absolute power.

We obviously need to throw them out of office and into prison.

This entire grift relies on convincing people that they don't know how to do the things they have always known how to do, and ironically, if it works, we will, in a very short amount of time, forget how to do all the things we have always known how to do.

My new red line for supporting a candidate is “did you vote to confirm a single Trump nominee in his second term?” Same goes for any his supported bills.

If yes, you’re disqualified. You can’t be out there saying he’s an existential threat to democracy then vote enable him.
All the senate democrats, not just some, fast tracked virtually all of Trump's cabinet nominees. Even the few they in theory slowed down they did very minimal obstruction for, instead giving boilerplate speeches to an empty chamber.

I talk more about it here in my guide on unanimous consent.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

I like to remind ppl that our current constitution was ratified by ignoring the amendment procedures of the constitution in force, which required unanimity. The Articles of Confed were failing but couldn't be amended due to 100% req. THE PEOPLE have ultimate sovereignty, even over the constitution.

The U.S. is the only democracy in the world with:

- Lifetime terms for high court judges
- An electoral college for choosing an executive
- A legislative chamber where legislative minorities routinely and permanently thwart legislative majorities
- 75% requirements for constitutional amendments

interesting to see her leaning on the argument that pro-palestinian voices are unfamiliar with the relevant history, as if any amount of historical context could justify what's happening in palestine
Hillary Clinton blames TikTok and “totally made up” videos for young people’s views on Israel and Palestine.

She says social media influenced “not just the usual suspects” but also “young Jewish Americans who don’t know the history and don’t understand.”

For some reason Democratic leaders seem to prefer telling voters what they won’t be able to do, rather than what they’d like to do.

If Hegseth ordered a war crime and lied about it, shouldn’t Ds try for impeachment? Put Rs on the spot. They might get a few defections.

Jeffries says not to expect Democrats to pursue Hegseth impeachment over boat strikes
"Republicans will never allow articles of impeachment to be brought to the floor," he said.

based on how often the naughty teens of major cities throw the rentable scooters directly into the river i've formed a theory that the many iron age swords and cauldrons found in lakes around europe that we've previously assumed were ceremonial and sacrificial in nature were in fact thrown by teens
