A monument suggests Trump was an aberration, but marginalized people know he is a more openly expressed continuation of violence inflicted on them since the country’s founding. Because this violence predates Trump and will likely outlast him, it cannot be commemorated as past. It is not past tense.

Courtney Milan@courtneymilan.com · 2d ago

For the record, I do actually think that public art commemorating the evil that happened during the Trump administration is necessary and good. That is part of how we build a national conversation and prevent this from ever happening again.

Yes, if Biden had suffered a 12-point loss in the middle of dozens of scandals and military catastrophe while falling asleep in public there would be a storm of media calling for him to quit. We know this because he had a single bad debate... and there was storm of media calling for him to quit.

For real, it'd be great to see a bunch of big name media pundits do "Should Trump resign?" columns. If the party IDs were reversed there would be calls for a D president to step down after a result like this, even without the conspiracy theorizing.

The same reason we banned the $15,000 Chinese electric vehicles with luxury trim packages and 600 miles of range. Because what capitalists fear the second most is other capitalists.

It’s time for ICE to take the masks off, turn the body cameras on, and start answering to the American people who pay for their bloated budget.

"-slyvania" means forest so "transylvania" means transsexual forest, the forest for transsexuals

To be absolutely clear: This was another Y2K situation. Lots and lots of people worked diligently for months and years, at great cost, taking hours away from their friends & family, to make our elections a bit more free and fair. Voting was still threatened! It still took record-breaking turnout!

Norm Eisen@normeisen.bsky.social · 2d ago

This is so wrong The reason “Trump didn’t steal the elections” is because we & the pro-voter coalition stopped him EIGHT times over the past 21 months Here’s how: a thread (1/x)

I don't think we talk about this enough. Allowing a private citizen unlimited access to low orbit to do with as he sees fit is insane. We *already* can't track every thing up there, and we're one bad collision away from being unable to access space for DECADES before effective cleanup.

Shelley B Woke - Living Saint of Purity🏳️‍⚧️🖤💜🤍 💛@shelleybwoke.bsky.social · 16h ago

Also, the whole DOGE thing, polluting our low-earth orbit with his starlink shit, destroying the beaches of Texas with no-telling what toxic shit from SpaceX launches, championing fascism around the globe, campaigning against trans rights, and doing Nazi salutes in front of a live audience. etc.

Collective Shout, the antiporn group behind the crackdown on Steam, says it will launch a campaign Monday targeting sex workers on TikTok, calling it an “OnlyFan pipeline” This isn’t about exploitation or porn access. They want to eliminate sex worker voices from the public square

100% agree. The Democrats need to hire the best vertical-video producers in the country and fund them to put out a CONSTANT stream of social media Content about the ongoing investigations into GOP crimes + how Democrats are rebuilding America. I am deadly serious about this.

Thor Benson@thorbenson.bsky.social · yesterday

They've gotta make content! Do well-produced videos about the investigations that people can share

The New York Times is currently running seven (7!) articles where they smugly celebrate the destruction of trans rights and the wholesale abandon of our community in the last year, but the idea that we could maybe possibly sometime in the future get some civil rights back is simply unacceptable.

A bunch of people have noted how much more accurate this is than US media headlines etc. it’s true! But don’t think the French press covers its OWN national politics with more clearsightedness than the US press covers ours (it does not). It’s always easier to be honest about someone else’s country

Stephen Miller, reactionary ideologue and white supremacist, promoted head of Trump administration

Awesome 👇

Having done the "dems need to do better communication" thing for years i will say: they tend to hear this as "marketing is a substitute for doing stuff"

I really don’t want Robert Patterson to be the next James Bond. Not because he couldn’t do it. He’s an interesting choice. I don’t want him locked up in a another franchise when he has insane off the wall indie movies to make.

Chuck Schumer has gone from a punching bag for Democrats to the architect of their historic landslide, Franklin Foer writes. He spoke with the senator:

This is bad faith. They've all said precisely why. Because the "leaders" are already talking about pre-compromise with the shit that was just voted against.

Vibecession Forever@ghazelleberner.bsky.social · 2d ago

Ever since 2016, politics has moved more and more online. And in that time, the internet has grown more and more hostile towards Dems. They just had a landslide the scale of which hasn’t been seen in 50 years. What were the streamers and influencers and writers saying? Toss out the leaders. Why?

Among Us the most useful game? Somehow yes.

Culture Crave 🍿@culturecrave.co · 2d ago

A 17-year-old girl held captive for over 500 days was rescued after secretly asking another teenager she met through ‘Among Us’ for help After moving their convo to another app, she revealed she was being held captive. The other teen alerted a parent, who contacted the FBI, leading to her rescue

“You don’t understand what a Speaker of the House does” no I think YOU don’t understand that coming out 12 hours after a historic win and trying to slow the momentum of the movement on behalf of the opposition is automatically disqualifying for any would-be leader of that movement.

Another Cabinet Secretary comes out to full-throatedly endorse Stephen Miller, whose obsession with mass deportation likely cost the GOP Texas at the minimum.

Amazing job everybody, keep going

Keira Havens@highcountryrose.bsky.social · 2d ago

It is **crucial** to do this now because once a majority of Dems selects a speaker in their caucus meeting on Nov 18 and 19, EVERY SINGLE DEM is bound by that decision on the floor Jan 3 per Dem Caucus Rule 34.

Liberals are stroking out trying to convince themselves in retrospect that the trans panic they bought into and stoked was not only brilliant strategy but also never existed

If eliminating the excuse that 'we simply don't have the votes' to get them to fix *a single thing* isn't sufficient to *fix a single thing* then my last faint hope that voting is a meaningful civic duty is gone.

I was mad that my younger sister was stealing valor by having memorized the words read to her on each page of the single book she ever "read" instead of learning to read when she would pretend to read her book and get praise for it. (Hop On Pop)

please delight me with your most on-brand story from your childhood I was tired of being the kid they sent everywhere to win all the awards, so when they were doing eliminations for spelling bee again, I got “coordinate” & looked the teacher dead in the eye and spelled it with one O 

After Tuesday I don't even think this sentiment is unpopular. Yes, voters want the Republican Party lit on fire and thrown into a dumpster because it makes fun of teens with special needs and loves vigilantes. She nailed it, no wonder she won.
