It's annoying that we already had so many existing problems to solve before these assholes created a bunch of new ones for no reason

You can want to stop the genocide and yet not be anti-semite. They deliberately conflate the two to make it impossible to be, just, you know, a human.

Any account blaming dems for what repubs have done and what voters did should be treated with suspicion. It's a midterm year and they've come here to suppress the vote.

James Bond supervillains threaten to blow up the world with their big laser unless you pay them a trillion dollars. Real American supervillains embed themselves in the economy and threaten to cause a depression unless you subsidize their sex robots and the weird chatbots they use to avoid humans.

Watching Karoline Leavitt spew her usual misinformation and divisive nonsense makes me wonder, why isn’t there a People’s press secretary? Someone who stands at a podium, tells the truth, and gets covered too. Democracy deserves balance, not propaganda.

I’ll keep pushing this line of analysis because I’m increasingly convinced the clearest path out of this mess is for Dems to adopt a relentless anti-corruption, anti-inequality, anti-oligarchy, pro-democracy platform. The Dem leadership hasn’t realized it yet, but they’re now a reform party.

America had normal elections across the country today. An unpopular president’s party suffered a rebuke at the polls in sign that our system of democratic accountability still works. The dangers to that system are real and remain, but our democracy is not dead yet. It’s on us to keep it that way.

We need to co-opt tf out of MAGA’s patriotic props. Wave bigger American flags, aggressively display red white & blue like we just left a Toby Keith concert on the 4th of July Bc when you strip away all of their performative patriotism all that is left is bad haircuts & hate.

Emotions are white hot right now. They must be acknowledged and respected because they're justified. And we must ALL take to the streets to protest the lawlessness and injustice. But before we do, PLEASE take time to read this.

Take note: the military escalation in LA is entirely by design. There is a reason they mounted workplace raids in young, diverse, working class neighborhoods. They know this will enrage. They know snatching parents from their jobs and from their court appearances and from their kids’ graduations by masked men dressed for war will cause an instantaneous white hot reaction. They want that reaction, and they want it to get violent. Why?
1. First and most importantly, they want to set the narrative. They want to turn public opinion to their side by painting the opposition as violent extremists. They will blanket the airwaves and algorithms they control with this message. Watch Fox News to see it happening now. They will amplify anyone throwing things, anyone kicking their vehicles, anything set on fire. It will be extremely effective.
2. Once they have painted the opposition as violent, they justify the increased use of military force and increased militarization of all forms of law enforcement. They will use it to justify increased surveillance and data breaches. All of these tools are designed to disempower state and local control, especially in blue states.
What can we do? 4 important things:

1. Keep showing up at mass mobilizations and bring as many people with you as you can. The research shows that PEACEFUL opposition can effect change when at least 3.5% of the population is with you. And you know how people keep saying “why are these protests all old people?” Understand this: we need old people (yes, especially white old people) at these events because it is a lot harder for them to use this to paint their young-violent-extremist narrative. It is also a lot harder for ICE troops to aim their weapons at people who look like their Nana.
2. Always ALWAYS remain peaceful. Shout whatever you want and point your finger right in their faces, but do not touch them. Do not throw things at them. Do not kick their cars. Do not set things on fire. Do not give them content for their narrative. Film THEM being violent extremists and amplify it.
3. If you live in a blue state, tell your elected officials to pass systems that block ICE and federal deployment of state resources. Pass resolutions in your town that prevent your local PD from cooperating with ICE.
4. Inform everyone you know. The research shows that peaceful opposition is FAR more likely to be successful than violent opposition. THEY are the violent extremists. We will not let them be successful.

Maybe the solution is to raise funds for a HUGE marketing campaign to simply define personality disorders. I’m constantly shocked by the number of people who don’t know the defining characteristics of narcissists, sociopaths, and psychopaths and the overlaps nor spectrum between them.
