I don't think they want an actual democracy, where they are accountable for their donor-based voting.

The Supreme Court blocked the student loan forgiveness despite there being explicit statutory authority for Biden to do it and allowed the Iran War despite an explicit Constitutional prohibition on anyone besides Congress declaring a war.

I'm not saying Dems should hold up the res for Darline Graham, but I'd hope they at least considered it... if simply because one Republican senator who blocked the res to replace Feinstein on the Judiciary Committee was Lindsey Graham. 2/

1. ICE is lying about body cams and I have the documents that prove it. On July 14, Tom Homan, who oversees ICE's immigration crackdown at the White House, said that ICE purchased body cams as soon as Democrats approved funding for DHS in April. That is a lie.

Doing nothing effective isn't "norms", it's surrender It's mystifying how anyone now faints at the suggestion that we do pro-democracy reforms *by law* like: - SCOTUS enlargement - DC statehood (insta 2 more Senators) - prosecute 45/47 crimes - multiparty proportional representation for House

"Don't take my word for it, listen to this Fox News segment" I am begging the establishment centrists to please, please, please shut the fuck up. You're worried about your sinecures and pretending the party itself is in danger. It's not. Shut. The fuck. Up.

From Brian Tyler Cohen's New Book: "The time has come for universal healthcare, Court expansion, a just economy, voting rights, and more. " I've always said since the start of this criminal fiasco that we need to "fight fire with fire." Dems can not rely on "status quo" or we will keep losing.

Our media's addiction to "both sides are equivalent, serious alternatives" framing means we are forced to pretend this dullard has Serious Thoughts. We're in the business of habitually lying to ourselves, and like all forms of gaslighting, the bill is coming due.

@npr.org Up First went out of its way today to avoid revealing the Birthright decision was 5-4. They quoted Roberts calling it "not close" and only mentioned two dissents. This was nearly catastrophic and you've blanketed it as a win.

So far I've only seen Rashida Tlaib take a stand. Andy Ngo gave a snarky reply and his minions are following it up w a ratio. FOX News reported her statement in shocked tones.
Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib tweets, "These sentences are a travesty and totally unjustified, but that's the point. Americans hate the fascist Trump regime, so the only way they can try to cling to power is brute force. NSPM-7 is a grave threat to all of us and more bullshit 'terrorism' charges like these are coming."

From new Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar's acceptance speech tonight. This is the absolute BARE MINIMUM platform for any Democrat running for President in 2028.
A series of posts from journalist Mark Chadbourn reporting on the acceptance speech of Péter Magyar after Hungarian elections:

Péter Magyar: "Our country wants to live again. It wants to be a European country again."

Mark Chadbourn• @chadbourn.bsky.social • 24m
Magyar's speech is powered. From a contact in the audience: "He's basically just asked all the puppets, all the supreme justices, all the heads of media, all the heads of the ministries to leave their jobs tomorrow and not wait to be fired."

•..
Mark Chadbourn• @chadbourn.bsky.social • 22m
He's announced that Hungary will join the European Prosecution Office so anyone in the country can be charged.

Mark Chadbourn• @chadbourn.bsky.social • 21m
Magyar: "No mercy, they will need to take responsibility for all their actions."

...
Mark Chadbourn• @chadbourn.bsky.social • 20m
Magyar says he's starting work with the EU and NATO immediately.
"The EU doesn't have to worry anymore."

The Trump admin is scrambling because the secret police it sends out for kidnappings and rioting has been killing people on video then brazenly lying about it, but Schumer's instinct is to whip his caucus into taking a position *more conservative* than that held by the median voter. He's got to go.
