Action is the antidote to despair.

I've listened to several podcasts and read several articles on why people are souring on capitalism and they all don't mention Occupy which is weird to me because of nothing else they mainstreamed a lot of the language we use today. And it was a genuinely big deal at the time.

I mean yes this is funny, but the fact that these unconstitutional stormtroopers are so directionless that they literally stand around waiting for random nonwhite delivery guys to bike past them is just pathetic. No mandate, no mission, no clue. Just racism.
ICE attempted
and failed to disappear a food delivery guy.
It needed to be scored.

Why would a 31-year-old man make a career out of debating and trying to humiliate college students 10 years younger than himself?

i just… i cannot even mentally wrap my head around how profoundly bad the media coverage of the dc situation is

like if it was a crisis in a media market where reporters are parachuting in that’s one thing

but these journalists are walking by troops and agents every day now

…crickets

If pundits would like to talk about violence, a terrorist recently shot up the CDC and another assassinated Democratic officials in Minnesota but they sort of let both stories disappear

Not as threatening as motorbikes in DC I know but maybe we could circle back?

Democrats have so failed this moment in US politics.
The fact that every congressional Dem is not out in the streets of DC leading protests, organizing mass strikes, and holding daily press conferences for the world press to rail against these new Gestapo speaks volumes as to why we also need a new Dem party should we ever get out of this mess.

I respect Jeff’s work but we should be careful about what we forecast & how inevitable we make it seem. We are not close to a civil war, but I worry we are perilously close to a mass casualty event because of the undisciplined nature of irregular security forces & an extremely armed civil society
I’m gonna say armed troops from red states descending on a blue city is just a few inches — or maybe one exchange of gunfire — short of a civil war’s opening stages.

New — I wrote about the violent assault on a DC delivery worker this morning by masked federal agents, and how these agents have made the disturbing turn from quiet thugs to playing for the cameras.

The White House is mobilizing red state military forces to occupy a Democratic stronghold and let me tell you: No one has ever pretended something isn't happening harder than Democratic leaders are pretending this isn't happening right now.

We have the money for universal healthcare, they just decided to spend it on tanks attacking American cities instead. Remember that the next time they ask anyone left of center “how will you pay for it?”

DHS obviously has no business attending a governor's press conference about redistricting. The fact that they are is a sign things have progressed beyond policy or law enforcement into general oppression of Democratic governance.
Gavin Newsom is holding a press conference today on redistricting and DHS agents have arrived masked up and in full gear. Many are armed with guns.

Mamdani's enemies talk about socialism. Mamdani talks about transit issues of concern to the Far Rockaways. Which is why he will be elected.

In authoritarian crackdowns, it’s important to randomly ensnare some people whom one would think would be safe, so that everyone is at least a little bit afraid that something could happen to them. The regime scales up its power of intimidation over a much larger group than those directly affected.

POTUS is speaking about using the military inside the U.S. and federalizing municipal police. They no longer will be controlled by local officials. He's conquering the country from within. He will control all government agencies. Remember, he said there will be no need for elections anymore.

Every day there are 3-4 things out of Trump that should make that particular day "a day that will live in infamy." But we barely get time to reflect and organize before it's something else. Every day, infamous. The DC fascist spectacle in particular is more horseshit than "I barely knew Epstein."

there are so many open layups and somehow dems can’t make them. republicans are literally pulling cancer treatment from children and they can’t message on that??? like what the fuck are we doing here
A video arguing that women shouldn’t be able to vote was just shared by Trump’s Secretary of Defense, the guy in charge of our whole military.

And Democratic Party leaders still can’t stand up to this administration?! Our rights are on the line and all our party leaders offer us is silence.

Trumpism has proven the Jamie Dimons of the world are nihilists at heart. They don't care about anything, not America, democracy, law, nor even capitalism. All their chest-puffing about the importance of free markets, liberty, and prosperity gone instantly in favor of an aging addled authoritarian.
if i were a pro-trump financial type i might view the destruction of reliable government data with the kind of anger and apprehension that might lead me to reevaluate my politics, but then if i’m a financial guy throwing my weight behind strongman rule, i’m already too stupid to breathe
