Q: Do you plan to attend Sarah's funeral?

TRUMP: I haven't thought about it yet, but it's certainly something I can conceive of. I love West Virginia. You know, I won West Virginia by one of the biggest margins of any president anywhere.

TRUMP: If you look at Somalia, they are taking over Minnesota.

REPORTER: What do the Somalians have to do with this Afghan guy who shot the National Guard members?

TRUMP: Ah, nothing. But Somalians have caused a lot of trouble. They're ripping us off.

This is the correct take. Stewing in white supremacist propaganda is bad for your thinking. And if think you are so savvy that it won’t impact you, you are the exact kind of mark they are slowly converting (I’m looking at you, centrist pundits).
It’s really funny how a generation will roll its eyes at parents who watch Fox News but doesn’t see why being immersed in Twitter is having the same effect. Lots of serious people show up on Fox News too but that shouldn’t be your primary source on the news.

"The only way to restore the rule of law is for Congress to begin impeachment proceedings immediately. Half measures are complicity. Silence is complicity. Delay is complicity."

Bravo, @hartmannreport.com. We agree. Congress has a sworn duty to impeach + remove this lawless president from office.

There is, indeed, something off about nearly every single member of Congress not honoring the oaths they have sworn.

Has anyone other than Representative Al Green @algreen.house.gov pledged to bring Articles of Impeachment in the coming weeks?
The military has a duty to refuse unlawful orders, but Congress has a duty to remove from office a president and secretary who would issue such orders. There is something off about members of Congress talking about the former while refusing to say the latter, the part that's actually their job here.

Yes, but there may not be a "when this is over" without an impeachment push, so Democrats need to be doing that, too.
This is exactly what folks on here have been calling on Democrats to say.

It’s the exact right message: Fuck you, we’re coming for you when this is over.

The only way out of this is impeachment. Discussing anything else around this behavior will only prolong and intensify it, as we've seen.

Push your congresspeople to support articles of impeachment TODAY.

Utterly ludicrous framing from @nytimes.com here, treating Pete Hegseth's arguments as if they're legitimate. The casual reader will be left with no inkling whatsoever of how unusual and corrupt an abuse of the process this truly is:

Articles of Impeachment let US Reps write that complaint and circulate it. They need to think about the impeachment process as a vehicle for communicating with the public and the military.

Events of the last few days demonstrate the existential urgency of this task.

Excellent thread:
I’ve been arguing ever since Trump’s 9/30 confession to US generals that he’s at war with Democrat-led cities that Congress needs to recognize that communicating for the military is a critical goal, and that articles of impeachment can serve as a vehicle for those communications.

Impeachment isn’t an option, it’s a necessity. I know firsthand the lengths Trump is willing to go in order to silence dissent.

Yeah this answer was awful. My gut response was right: the meeting was a mistake.

Either you oppose fascism wholly or you collaborate with it. The rhetorical needle Mamdani’s trying to thread here can’t be threaded, and we don’t accept it when politicians like Schumer try.
It’s:

“Yeah, he’s a fascist. But let’s not dwell on that — let’s focus on solutions with him.”

“He’s dangerous, but we can work with him.”

The mixed messages and cognitive dissonance, even if well intentioned, disarms the public.

We can and must achieve objectives w/out normalizing fascism.

I appreciate Mamdani’s focus but effectively stating fascism is politics of the past & inviting collaboration with the fascist is irresponsible and it paves the way to the continual absence of accountability.

While politically strategic it is structurally dangerous.

We talk of refusing unlawful orders, but really that's a very high bar. It's only for orders that are manifestly unlawful, something *obviously* illegal on the face of it. And the core example of that is refusing an order to wantonly murder noncombatants, which is exactly what they are doing.
Oddly enough, in media coverage of Dems' video warning against carrying out illegal orders, there's very little discussion of *whether it's actually reasonable to fear Trump is giving illegal commands or not.*

The evidence is strong that he is. Media should say so:

I don't want to make it sound like I'm setting an impossible bar for Democrats. Kat Abughazaleh has been a model of genuine resistance this year—she's gone above and beyond the call. Of course, she's not yet in office. But when you see what she's doing, you see what sitting Dems could be doing.
The stakes are too high to wait: we need to impeach Trump now.

I’ll be speaking at the Remove the Regime rally in Washington, DC this Saturday. I hope to see you there!

It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.

We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.

We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

Everyone thinks appeasement is political realism, until the reality of fascism proves otherwise.

I still think Mamdani can and will get it right, but we need to be clear about this.
I think he's focused on delivering for New Yorkers. Part of that is trying to delay / stop any sort of larger federal invasion. I also don't resent Daniel Lurie pulling billionaire strings to keep a ICE/CBP surge out of SF, even if I hate the reality of how power is flowing.
November 22, 2025 at 6:23 PM
I supported @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's candidacy, praised him for campaigning as "Trump's worst nightmare," and also repeatedly urged him to put more substance behind that stance. I still want to see that substance. I've been very consistent here.
The Mamdani campaign is exciting but I hope someone (@citizensimpeachment.com?) can pin him down on impeachment.

Yes, this is a litmus test. It goes to the question "Should we use all legal tools to hold fascists accountable?" and that is a question with one (1) right answer.
