So tell me: How do Dems win elections after:

-SCOTUS rulings
-MAGA gerrymandering/redistricting
-MAGA stacking election boards
-MAGA buying voting machine co's
-MAGA disenfranchising voters
-MAGA cheating/rigging
-MAGA supermajorities passing bad bills
-MAGA armed thugs at polling places

Anyone?

PURE EVIL! Shame on the Republican congress for saying NOTHING about this. It’s clear that members of the GOP Congress are no longer morally or ethically qualified to govern.
VOTE THEM OUT IN ‘26.

There is no way this is ending peacefully. They are going to keep escalating this until it becomes a civil war.

Christopher Webb @cwebbonline.com · 5d

Federal agents aren’t trying to keep the peace. They want violence to escalate so that Trump can declare martial law.

They shot a reverend in the head with pepper balls while he was praying in front of an ICE facility. If that doesn’t tell you where we are as a country, nothing will.

@gottalaff.bsky.social has the right of it yet again — the MAGA proclivity for inciting (EVERYTHING) is a whackadoo Wild Card.

It’s a virtually thunderous arrangement, and I always imagined Grand medieval organs in the mix.

Always a key reason for caution, Laffers.

A young girl pauses in her ascent of a misty, foggy and worn-stone walkway path. She’s holding a lovely oversized pale yellow moon balloon on a string, stretching on tip toe to keep it. A night sky is starred and pictured and ancient tree roots abound. There is yearning and imminent loss for vibeys 🌕. For Laffy and Hammy during the week of an impressive hunter’s moon.

Trump's DOJ is everything you saw during the Bondi hearing.

emptywheel @emptywheel.bsky.social · 6d

Earlier today, DOJ basically told the judge in the Kilmar Abrego case they were going to blow off the vindictive prosecution claim.

His attorneys responded, fine, then the criminal case must be dismissed.
storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Ultimately, as the defense explained in its Status Report, to the extent the government
maintains its position that it will not produce the relevant discovery, under a claim of privilege or
otherwise, the government cannot rebut Mr. Abrego’s demonstrated, prima facie case of
vindictiveness, making dismissal of this case the only proper remedy. (Dkt. 146 at 3-4).

Apart from helping Comey's selective prosecution defense, this also means the president of the United States uses direct messages on Truth Social to communicate with cabinet officials.

I didn't know that, but we can be sure intelligence agencies all over the planet already did.
