Here’s some things that can be done by a party out of power

- file impeachment articles every day in the House

- withhold unanimous consent in the senate and filibuster every nominee

- be everywhere with comms saying this is lawless and impeachable

Don't forget that Zohran Mamdani spent his entire campaign standing proudly beside the trans community. He went to trans rights rallies just to show support. He proudly waved trans rights flags without hesitation. He refused to back down in support of trans rights. That makes me happy.

Most of the power authoritarians have is freely given. We should not comply with them in advance.

Trump is far weaker than he looks. So is the GOP. We should draw them out, drain them at every opportunity, and fight for people’s wellbeing at every turn.

We have been sent here to fight for people.

Hannah Arendt said 'The death of human empathy is one of the earliest & most telling signs of a culture about to fall into barbarism'

We saw the recent cruelty of MAGA denying empathy to Melissa Hortman

Empathy for Kirkβ€”not because he ever acted like a decent humanβ€”but because we are decent humans

The problem with allowing guns everywhere is that no one is safe anywhere.

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

"that's not funny, no one should lose their lives to gun violence" so true! that's what we've been saying all along. I'm so glad you agree

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city.

This is not a joke. This is not normal.

Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

putting aside the trans rights issues specifically (lol), I think part of what has me so frustrated with the Newsom thing is that Pritzker, Walz, and Zohran are putting on clinics for a popular, progressive politics and we’re wasting time talking about this used car salesman ass goblin.

our Cleveland football team is sponsored by a flushable* wipes brand and today they are making a promotional announcement featuring a large mystery object floating in Lake Erie.

the story today is of a profoundly low energy military parade being met with millions of americans in nationwide protests denouncing the dictatorial pretensions of the president

β€œStrongman” politicians project their supposed strength by attacking immigrants, people of color, and the LGBTQ+ community.

But these groups of people aren't the "threats" we should be worried about. Who is?

The oligarchs who earn their keep by exploiting the rest of us.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.

You won't be any better at fighting what's coming if you burn yourself out and spend all your time feeling bleak and hopeless, and the people telling you that it's all despair now probably don't have anyone's best interest at heart.

do not let the Cavs win over Golden State tonight, their 7th W in a row, and their 28-4 record overall distract you from the fact that in 2016 the warriors blew a 3-1 lead.

He lost reelection. He left with a 34 percent approval rating.

He didn't feel sorry for himself. He didn't say "to hell with it" and cash in and play golf.

He went back to his farm and rolled up his sleeves and spent the rest of his life dedicated to humanitarian causes.

Well done, Mr. President.

(OTOH, though, my fantasy team in our family league is cruising to a win this week against my sister. So … you win some, you lose some? Something like that. 😢)

Update: super cool and fascinating. (Annie’s Spanish is a little … rocky at times, but fantastic effort … I read in an interview that she collaborated on the translations and recording with a Latino friend.) Very trippy to hear all these excellent songs in a different light.
