Dem leaders don't need to wonder why their own voters want to replace them. The reasons are obvious.

All this bc a handful of trans kids played sports. America chose between trans kids playing soccer or a king and we chose a king.

If one was, hypothetically, the richest admin in history, they could make a killing off of this. Is the president of the United States pump and dumping the globe?

If Sen. Cory Booker makes it to 7:19 p.m. EST, he will break segregationist Dixiecrat Strom Thurmond's record for his 24 hour 18 minute Senate floor speech against the Civil Rights Act of 1957.

“Matt Bennett, a vice president at the center-left group Third Way” This is basically an old republican corporate think tank with zero actual Dems in Congress. Disregard

It is not unusual for Bernie and AOC to hold events together, but coming at a time of crisis for the Democrats, when its leadership is facing anger over its inability to oppose Trump, and amid calls for a new direction, their message feels pointed. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

AOC and Bernie hit the road: Is the Democratic Party having its Tea Party moment?
Analysis: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez joins Bernie Sanders on a tour at a time when her party is increasingly looking for someone to aggressively oppose Donald Trump’s policies, Richard Hall writes.

BREAKING: Hundreds of Jews and allies have taken over Trump Tower chanting “We want justice, you say how. Bring Mahmoud home now!” and “Fight Nazis, not students.” The civil disobedience is spawned by the ICE arrest of Palestinian student Mahmoud Khalil.

ICE's arrest and detention of Mahmoud Khalil is an extreme attack on free speech rights. We will see the Trump administration in court.

My baseline belief is that everyone who works for the Democratic Party in any capacity including consultants should be fired and blackballed and replaced, but at the absolute bare minimum every democrat VOTING TO CONFIRM TRUMP NOMINEES should be fired and blackballed and replaced

if you capitulate on trans kids playing sports with their friends the right will keep moving further until they are calling for “eradication” and you are telling me you are willing to join their calls if they move public opinion enough

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)
KNOW YOUR
RIGHTS
IN CASE OF ICE:
CONOCE TUS DERECHOS
EN CASO DE ENCUENTRO CON ICE:DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR.
ICE cannot enter your home without a warrant signed by a judge.
Tell the agents to show you the warrant by sliding it under the door.
NO ABRAS TU PUERTA.
ICE no puede entrar a tu casa sin una orden firmada por un juez. Diles a los agentes que te muestren la orden deslizándola debajo de la puerta.ASK THEM
TO LEAVE.
If ICE doesn't have a warrant, tell them you do not consent for them to enter your home and ask them to leave. At work, ICE cannot enter employee-only areas without permission.
2
PÍDALES QUE SE VAYAN.
Si ICE no tiene una orden judicial, diles que no das tu consentimiento para que entren a tu casa y pídeles que se vayan. En el trabajo, ICE no puede ingresar a áreas exclusivas para empleados sin permiso.REMAIN SILENT.
You have the right to remain silent.
If the agents ask you questions, tell them,
"I wish to remain silent."
PERMANECE EN SILENCIO.
Tienes derecho a permanecer en silencio.
Si los agentes te hacen preguntas, diles:
"Deseo permanecer en silencio".

Fuck it. Trans folks need MATERIAL SUPPORT. @distributeaid.org is launching an HRT Harm Reduction Toolkit that provides 1 year of medical supplies needed to take injection-based HRT. We were planning to go live in January, but I'm not waiting. Fund the kits here: distributeaid.org/hrt-harm-red...

On Feb. 14th I try always to give honor to one of the greatest contributors to American democracy in our nation’s history, Frederick Douglass. Born into slavery, Douglass never knew his actual birthdate, and adopted Feb. 14th as the day. His penetrating insights about our country inspire me daily.

Even if this were true (it’s not) and you could this as anything other than a confession of how criminal Elon is (you can’t), there’s a zero percent chance that the best financial accounting teams in history could find this in two weeks. That’s not how any of this works

IT'S YOUR FAULT, DEMOCRATS. Because your opposition maxes out at "Stern disapproval," Trump can escalate and escalate, all the way up to completely ignoring laws and purging the security services, with no fear of producing additional backlash. Your brainless, spinless opposition is dooming us!
