Most red states are being run by madmen and becoming hellholes for normies who care about basic government services, the right to an abortion & LGBT rights
it’s time for blue states to lock in, build housing, build transit, and build state capacity so we can thrive from red state refugee migration

There used to be a sort of social contract that the PMC classes had with red states that has been completely ripped apart and I honestly don't know how that's going to feed into housing market growth and corporate relocations.

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens.
Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

i think a potentially potent rallying cry, politically, to combat this censorial movement we’re seeing rn is “aren’t you tired of these freaks telling you what you’re allowed to do?”

Let me just say a simple thing.
Democrats have no obligation to provide the votes to fund the destruction of our democracy.
If you want my vote for a bipartisan budget, there need to be protections to stop Trump's brazen lawlessness.

NEW: If Republicans won’t conduct oversight of Trump’s unconstitutional and cruel immigration policies that kidnap and disappear immigrants of all statuses, I will.
Today’s Shadow Hearing will focus on how his actions are destroying U.S. families and communities.

What’s at stake here is free speech.
Across the board, we’ve seen the Trump administration use the power of government to go after anybody who’s criticized them — and in this case, Jimmy Kimmel.
We need to all stand up and speak out.

generally speaking, and with the glaring exception of november 2024, the more directly democratic an institution has been, the better it has checked Trump (eg grand and petit juries); the more elite and insular, the less effective (the Senate, the Supreme Court, big business)

This is goddamn right. Make them do it.
In North Carolina right now the Democrat running for Senate - in a state Trump won *three times* (I hate it too) - is leading by 6-8 points.
'Oh, but they'll cancel elections' - then force them to cancel elections and radicalize the normies and then march with the radicalized normies.

It is the job of the Democratic party to sell and defend the policies that most Democratic voters want, not to present a candidate slate that is palatable to moderate Republicans who might switch if they hate their own candidate enough.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.
This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.

Nor even "an end to impoundment and rescission so that the budgets passed by Congress actually mean anything."
Government funding is the one card congressional Democrats have to play, and one they could and should use to push back against Trump's authoritarianism.
What's their big demand?
RFK Jr's resignation? Reforms in ICE? Stand down of National Guard?
NOPE.
