No more Epstein files need to be released. We've already seen enough to make Trump's continued presence in the White House a horrifying crisis of conscience. Now it's time for this: no member of Congress should be able to work a single day without feeling pressure to impeach.

/4 Trump and ICE and the rest of the fascist scum can murder and lie and oppress, but they can’t kill that decency that some real Americans have. They don’t have it, they are inadequate without it, and it infuriates them. But they can’t kill it.

Lots of folks in the replies understandably/honorably saying progressives & liberals shouldn’t be imitating the GOP or pledging fascist acts too. I used to think like that too but sadly I don’t see any alternatives, the GOP doesn’t respond to strongly worded letters. You have to fight fire with fire

Okay, but *why* would somebody have pretended to be donald trump and written a little play about trump and epstein being friends and then drawn a prepubescent girl on it and then signed it as donald trump and given it to jeffrey epstein twenty-two years ago

You will never get a new, revolutionary, truly good sentence or work of art by seeking out the perfect middle of all known beliefs. It's why AI is flawed as a creative machine, and why governing to polls is futile. We want new, beautiful, surprising things, politically, artistically, and otherwise.

Netanyahu has not allowed any aid into Gaza in 22 days. He broke the ceasefire, resuming a bombing campaign that has killed more than 50,000 people. Now he is threatening a long-term occupation of Gaza. NO MORE MILITARY AID TO NETANYAHU’S WAR MACHINE.

Past few years, never fully embraced @sanders.senate.gov. Given the current state of American politics, I find myself drawn to his views, along with @aoc.bsky.social, more so than the centrist views I've typically aligned with. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Bernie nails it here.✔️

(1) If it’s a statutory challenge: convince Congress to pass a law. (2) If it’s a constitutional challenge: try to amend the Constitution. (3) If that fails: rally voters to elect politicians to do (1) and/or (2). (4) If that also fails: question whether he is wildly popular.

Netanyahu has not allowed any food, water, or fuel into Gaza in two weeks. Now he has resumed bombing, killing hundreds of people and breaking the ceasefire that had given Gaza a chance to live again. NO MORE MILITARY AID TO ISRAEL.

Trump is the least popular president in recorded history at this stage of his term (excepting only himself in his first term), and elected Democrats collectively have reached this point by accommodating him at critical moments.
