Most of the people with the guns (especially the most lethal ones) are on Trump's side. Tyranny by white supremacists and Christian Nationalists is cool with them. But if anyone else tries it...

Hey! Can you clarify where, exactly, folks should gather today? Or are you just encouraging folks to come to the park with signs and stroll around, play it by ear, etc.?

Don’t worry: the 2nd amendment people who told us we couldn’t ban their AR-15s in case they had to overthrow a tyrannical government are going to save us any day now, and all the mass shootings will have been worth it.

I have photographic evidence of a certain Thanksgiving cooking fire our families shared, and all of us in calico dresses -- Little House meets the Massachusetts Bay Colony, but in Connecticut.

This is great but I sure wish they’d gotten their act together to do it sooner. I like to think that constituent calls helped. And of course, courage is contagious. Gradually it’s happening

There will be protests at those battlefields (Minuteman Natnl Historic Park) on the 19th.

Jane Roper @janeroper.bsky.social · 08/04/2025
We have to protest while we still can. I suspect there will be agent provocateurs and maga militias in the mix soon enough. Trump is just waiting for an excuse to crack down.

No boycott needed. Only his cult would go anyway. What needs to happen is another big event at the same time to pull focus

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Democrats Plan Nationwide Blitz of Town Halls in Republican Districts
A series of events in all 50 states aims to capitalize on a recent warning from Republican leadership that its lawmakers should avoid such public forums.

Exactly! In Season 1 there were also the complex dynamics between the native Hawaians / the hotel / the guests (shown through the Kai & Paula plot), and issues of class / race / exploitation in the relationship btwn Tanya and Belinda

I realized why this season of The White Lotus just isn’t as good as the others: there’s no exploration of the economic and cultural dynamics between the guests and the hotel staff / locals. That’s what elevated the first two seasons above being a soapy series about rich people.

Clear messages that go right to the heart of the matter, with necessary outrage and alarm. EVERY Dem needs to be doing this. (@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social , hello?)Thank you, @chrismurphyct.bsky.social from your '96 classmate. Go Ephs. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/23/u...

Chris Murphy Emerges as a Clear Voice for Democrats Countering Trump
The third-term senator from Connecticut is eschewing caution and throwing out the traditional political playbook as he seeks a broader audience for his critiques of the president and his agenda.
