What absolute fresh rage-baiting hell from the media while Epstein survivors continue to receive fresh rounds of torture from this regime of pedophile protectors that has rendered pregnancy a potential death sentence.

The Epstein Regime is trying to move their crimes against kids into the shadows getting rid of the lawyers who represents unaccompanied kids (after not paying them) while fast tracking massive new concentration camp in TX & opening ex-military base in Louisiana. www.instagram.com/reels/Dbd-mK...

Texans KNOW THEIR WORTH. They're worth leaders who fight for everyone's freedom to make a good living and have a good life. Texans stand ready to reject this MAGA Murder Regime and are so lucky to have Gina ready to work with and for them.
Greg Pak@gregpak.net · 6d agoMaybe even bigger news, y'all -- @ginafortexas.bsky.social is just a point behind Abbott in the gubernatorial race in this same poll! That's HUGE! Abbott, while a repugnant fascist, isn't as nearly compromised as Paxton. Hinojosa CAN WIN THIS - consider throwing her a couple bucks! ginafortexas.com

Today is the day: March of 2025 Goldman and Crow sent letter below to HHS to reinstate funding for legal representation for kids but we need way more noise RIGHT NOW from all Members. Call yours (House & Senate) & tell them to push HHS. goldman.house.gov/media/press-...

The Epstein Regime is hell bent on paving the way for sending kids to concentration camps and/or into danger abroad by forcing them to face immigration court without legal counsel. @defiancedispatch.bsky.social breaks it all down: www.instagram.com/reels/DbbxrG...

Vital to tell the truth of horrors to have any hope of confronting them. We will never convince majority of Americans we must close "detention facilities," which sound reasonable to many, let alone marshal collective action to do so.
Guardian US@us.theguardian.com · 6d ago"A concentration camp, in its most basic definition, is a place where a targeted civilian population, not necessarily accused of a crime, is detained and at least some of their basic rights are suspended," writes @jwashing.bsky.social. "That’s precisely what’s happening in the United States today."
Authoritarians assume power with shock & awe till they're met with resistance; then they use compliant existing administrative state to continue & grow their all out assault on anyone they deem enemies. But the more local they go, the more the force of everyday people can actually stop them. /1
Melissa Gira Grant@melissagiragrant.com · 6d agoI wrote about how immigration arrests are at all-time highs, even as ICE is trying to assume a lower public profile. How are they doing this? Look to your local police.

My goodness this voter and crowd from New...uh sorry, Nebraska sure seem hell to the fuck no on MAGA.
The Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social · last wk.“And you did nothing” This Nebraska voter grilling @USRepMikeFlood gets it
"Electability" conversation exists inside make-believe where only habitual voters turnout and some number must be coaxed into swapping parties, based on rational issue position calculus. In fact, what caused Dem MEGA Blue Wave in 2018 was unprecedented non-habitual & new voter turnout. /1
Does it sound better in German?

The more people *experience* the MAGA Agenda the more they hate it. So, doesn't it seem like a good idea to be very clear, repetitive and explicit exactly what they have unleashed? By which I mean, using direct language not euphemism, making explicit plans for consequences for their crimes.
Evergreen politics tip: Run against your opposition, not the people your opposition scapegoats and reviles. And since this seems unclear: Dems' opposition is Republicans.
Jeff Hauser@jeffhauser.bsky.social · 2w agoIf our DCCC saw Republicans and fascism as foes as important to fight against as the DSA they would aggressively move to impeach Vought while attacking Blue State Republicans in Congress (e.g., CA, NY have double digits between them) for complicity. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/24/b...

Gets harder to scare people about invented villains when the real ones keep murdering people in broad daylight while stealing our healthcare and starving our children.
Acyn@acyn.bsky.social · 2w agoReporter: Isn’t there concern that this slippery slope to socialism inevitably ends up as full-blown communism? AOC: They want to call everything they don’t like communist because if people actually wake up to the fact that their elected officials are screwing them over when they get here
Understandably, Dems celebrating polling from Fox News, no less, showing they're now even with Reps on immigration. Imagine where they could be if more of them made the argument against the MAGA Murder Regime & for immigrants.

THIS. Median voter theorists claim people are making "rational" choices arraying themselves on some clear left-right spectrum and picking the candidate(s) closest to them. In reality, we're primates seeking BELONGING - something MAGA offers (to the chosen) & left has neglected for long time.

We not only CAN mobilize people by tapping into their "ragency" about everything, including election fuckery, we must. Kudos for this great zine.
