Invalid answers do not invalidate the questions asked! The rise of MAGA with its attendant resentment, xenophobia, incompetence, and vandalism may distract us from the social questions in play, but degenerative, fascist answers make the questions even more pressing. 🧵

Here’s a Colorado #fall shot from an iconic spot but IMO the clouds are what make it. 🍁⛅️

If we really want to make this stop, we can. We need to shut everything down and protest every day until it happens.

Fear is all they have. They don’t have respect, or popular ideas, or the support of a majority of Americans. Deny them the power of fear and we win.

“Other polls say the opposite…”

“Which one?”

“Uh … I don’t know. But the poll you cited is clearly biased….”

“How exactly?”

“Uh … which poll was that again?”

This is how it’s done.

It’s very easy, and it gets results, so if an anchor isn’t asking basic follow ups, that’s a choice.

Republicans got their marching orders and shutdown talking points, but when questioned, they fall apart.

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 11d

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

Trump and Hegseth are putting generals in an untenable position, and democratic values are going to be the loser either way.

THIS.

The hardest part about the past decade for me has been realizing just how many people will simply never care. Your neighbors could get hauled away and you’d just shrug and carry on. We’re on a razor thin edge right now, soldiers are patrolling our streets, every speech is a declaration of war against our own citizens, and as long as nothing changes for you in the immediate, you don’t care. Our culture taught you selfishness, algorithms taught you hate and apathy, and history taught you nothing.
