its what we have at the moment.

social organization and resistance in america is almost never around a simple, single fulcrum - look at the multipronged approach of the right for the past 40 uears.

I have been watching last night and all day today and there is just enough progressivism on display from a diverse group of dems to open cracks and widen fissures for more expansive ideas.

every opening is an opportunity to attack the problem (both party and public) from both the inside and the outside. and while the dems try to get some momentum, keep connecting locally with likeminded people willing to stir shit up - whatever that may mean to you.

edit: words

from a state with two republican senators, thank you!

had to go to my local post office today and had a great convo with the person behind the desk - they were watching booker on their lunchbreak and we had an awesome moment of connection over this. I reminded them that there was still so much love out here just waiting to be organized.

You mean Rubio being confirmed unanimously

useless hope that he would be somewhat sane. an admitted massive fail.

Courts which the fascists ignore, like fascists tend to do.

righteous indignation over ignored court orders can burn white hot in the public - its part of a legitimate process.

Now if you would just realize that the deadwood centrists (actually center right to right wing) are actually almost all of them

well, yes. there is enough upheaval happening in this moment to force something. something will shift. what comes next (and how it comes) will almost certainly be different than what we have seen previously.

perfect! push!

both. as he said its “good trouble”. unlikely to change course, but really useful to show other dems that a backbone is useful and people will support you.

also good info being passed out to anyone that will listen.

tell your friends. get them on the stream - especially right now. great back and forth conversation happening.

on fire right now! nice.

watching. serious thanks for the heads up.

that is a genuinely profound statement.

couple that with first past the post voting and you set the voters against each other in some convoluted “least worst” competition. tyranny is inevitable.

K aint psilocybin-but yeah… I think musk may be beyond redemption.

During his visit to Greenland, Vance added, “We can’t just ignore the president’s desires.”

yes. yes we fucking well can.

“Our message to Denmark is very simple: [lots of stupid ramblings]…and you have underinvested in the security architecture of this incredible, beautiful landmass filled with incredible people. That has to change.”

because thats what it is to trump inc. - a landmass. not a country. a landmass.

anyone who has never experienced the joy of destroying hardware with a misplaced address access is, at best, translucent. magic blue smoke or bust.

ouch.

drain the swamp! right into trumps bank account.

this entire article was an exercise in right wing mental masturbation - apparently manchin is a centrist, or so we are told.

every single example given is an isolated point in time with zero historical context or recognition of the zeitgeist (particularly the 2016 election). its as though Joseph Goebbels hooked up with a statistician and started beating you over the head with their lovechild. so tired of the gaslighting ratchet.

admittedly, I could not finish the article so I may have missed some elucidating factoid later on… but right now we all have bigger fish to fry that dont involve another rightward drag of the overton window.

Bukeke is also currently at the center of a scandal …

getting suuuuper close there, guys…

exactly. I use and love signal. its a fantastic privacy tool - seriously! but the amount of pure stupid on display by this administration is just too much to take.

signal group chats can have admins and users. admins are able to control access to the group.

signal is a social communication network. yes, when everything works well and people dont screw up, its wonderfully private and secure - one of the best and easiest to use secure social communication tools around.

the real issue is… these idiots used it (probably from their personal phones!) like it was NSA approved tech. lead idiot hegseth being all “opsec is clean” while an unknown participant has been added to the group chat is just… I have no words. these people are playing dressup.

signal on an uncompromised device and with decent digital hygiene will keep a whole bunch of people and TLAs out of your business. however, I do not expect the US Govt planing military fucking strikes via signal just so the “principals” can conveniently sip drinks by the pool instead of being in an NSA approved communication facility.

seriously, fuck!
