Educated conservatives who voted for Trump are worse than the ignorant tribal masses. Absolute fools who voted knowing Trump is completely unfit.

Again, if this is how they're treating a cis white citizen from another western country, you know visitors of color are in hell.

Three figures surrounded by a swirl of magic and candlelight. The central figure is behind the front two who are facing away from each other. The person to the left is Aelis. Dark Hair, light skin, black lipstick, a single formal braid in her hair wrapping around her ubraided hair. She has one are up with a wand that is casting a ward shaped like a buckler shield. She is holding her sword backhanded. She has laced up sleeves that go up to her biceps with a sleeveless iridescent dress. An ornate sword scabbard hangs from her waist. The gothic filigree with skulls and daggers in the trim and lace of the dress and sleeves match the scabbard. The person on the right is Amadin. He is an elf man, short brown hair, red cloak over short sleeve blue Tunic with a quilted pearl studded gambeson underneath, and a crystal staff holstered at his hip. He is holding a wine glass in one hand and charging magical energy in the other. The central figure standing above the others is Miralla. She is dark skinned, 4C hair in an afro, black lipstick, eyes glowing white, a thin circlet with glowing gem, and matching earrings. She's wearing a lace collared sleeveless dress, with a radial gothic eye pattern surrounded by a halo of rays. Both of her hands raised up, one hand open, palm up, and one hand loosely pointing.

So, we have to hope for a stock market crash for someone to take concrete action against a terrorist President?

This girl has been harassing my daughter at school for the last couple days , throwing her backpack on the floor.
My daughter: “keep on messing with me and I’ll call my people in Haiti and have them turn you into a goat. Your handprints are already on here.”

Yep, I am on my way to the office. 😩🤣

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN.

☎️: (202) 224-3121

Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid.

The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING.

Call retiring Senators too!

A YES on cloture is a YES for the bill.

Do not let anyone play games with you.

I’d like to ask every single New Yorker who’s remotely left of center to get actively involved in your local Democratic Party chapter with the goal of driving Schumer, Gillibrand, Hochul, Adams, Cuomo and all the other dead wood into retirement.

They all ran saying this was it, save democracy. But they can't even risk one fundraiser cycle, 20 months before an election, to show they have a pair.

We need a third party. Democrats are done. They can't help us, we can't help them.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.

Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.

Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

“We’re going to make sure they don’t get limited power by giving them unlimited power”

This is beyond stupid, and you are ignoring your constituency.

AOC takes direct aim at Chuck Schumer & Democratic leadership in this critical moment:

“I cannot urge enough how bad of an idea it is to empower and enable Donald Trump and Elon Musk in this moment. It is dangerous and it is reckless.”

She’s making her move, and I can bet it’s going to resonate.

Columbia University pushed out professor @katherinefranke.bsky.social because of her pro-Palestine advocacy. She joins @premthakker.bsky.social to discuss the systematic free speech crackdown at Columbia and across the US.

Authoritarians govern through fear, not legislation. The simple fear of what they would do in certain situations can push even the opposition to capitulate. That’s success for them.

We lose when we fold due to a hypothetical. We win when we challenge the REALITY that is hurting working people.

If Chuck Schumer enjoys a single day in NYC for the rest of his life without being told to go fuck himself at least once, then NYC will have utterly failed as a society.

@schumer.senate.gov You’re gambling with my life and the lives of my family and community, and they are not yours to gamble. I will fight for democracy but I will not fight with you bc you have decided it’s not worth it. You made yourself irrelevant. Step aside and let somebody else lead.
