I agree with you on most things Will, but the narrative has gotten away from him and theres no getting it back short of something extremely out of character (like arresting SCOTUS conservatives and calling it an "official act"). A window of opportunity has opened and Dems should take advantage of it

Biden told Stephanopoulos that the people who are urging him to the exits "don't know what they're talking about." We can't allow an octogenarian's hubris to be what serves the country to the fascists on a silver platter. He has a fine record. He doesn't need to add "ushered us into Project 2025"

Biden won't listen to the grassroots, but he will listen to the money. And for what it's worth, the Trump campaign really wants Biden to stay at the top of the ticket. That should be our cue

“Some folks need killing, It’s time for somebody to say it. It’s not a matter of vengeance. It’s not a matter of being mean or spiteful. It’s a matter of necessity!” the republicans are attempting to goad their followers to terrorism against their perceived enemies. This is what fascism looks like.

They don't even need a coalition at this point, they can just run their own government

On this July 4, please pause to remember that one of the colonists’ complaints in the Declaration was that the Crown was paying its judges.

i really am going to be logged off for the holiday but i would like to drop off a parting thought: publishing a monarchist anti-voting take on the fourth of july is the strongest possible indication of someone's core, true values

Joe has lost control of the narrative and it's only going to get worse. All the digging in is just getting embarrassing at this point. If he cares about the future of democracy he needs to step down and anoint Kamala as his successor

Back in 2021 when I was adjusting a flood claim at an apartment building in Mamaroneck NY after tropical storm Ida, and the tenants were three African women who were very obviously studying for the citizenship test. They had a poster with facts about America on the wall. Really hope they passed it

Honestly still in shock that the most crooked American President in history said "I need immunity" and the GOP Supreme Court said "well, it's nowhere in the constitution, but sure, why not? Whats the worst that could happen?"

just watched 74 people speaking at least a dozen different languages become american citizens in a ceremony at monticello, where the speakers were themselves children of immigrants. inspiring stuff and a vivid illustration of what reactionaries want to snuff out

Giving up hope is also complying with authoritarians in advance. It’s saying that fascism is inevitable, that there is no other way to be. I know it’s hard to keep hope alive, but I hope you find a way. ❤️
