We should welcome ANY efforts by any and all Congressional representatives that attempt to fight against the tRump regime's agenda(s)! I applaud Jeffries and Corey Booker
If decent law abiding Americans actually gave a damn about democracy, they would throw this entire regime in military prison and send them to trial, for public corruption. This Country is becoming a disgrace...🤦♀️
If you did NOT vote for Kamala Harris you are fully responsible for everything that Trump MAGA GOP dictatorial regime is doing!
The inability to listen Kamala Harris has to go down as one of the dumber things EVER.
That's why I wear this "Don't blame me, I voted for her" t-shirt everywhere I go 👇
I get so infuriated at Trump voters who have buyer’s remorse after they vote. Like, we told you and you didn’t listen, and now you have no one to blame but yourself.
But I also feel strongly that we need to encourage those who now see the error of their ways to make necessary changes in the future. Being completely unforgiving and scornfulof these useful idiots will cause many of them to simply double down on the errors of the past.
I agree, Heather, BUT I believe we need to switch the bulk of our dialog and our energy to the challenges of the moment, which are many, and start articulating what we envision for a new America going forward. Yes, that means fessing up to what went wrong, too. I voted for Kamala, so I hear you. I believe the vote was rigged. Now what? The Bastard-in-Chief got away with it. Let's fix this shit!
Einstein, I agree with you, But I also reported Heather's post because she is just trying to make a buck selling T-shirts that spread past-tense nastiness. I want us, all off us that can stomach the obvious flaws, to try and welcome and encourage discussions with those that are now feeling disillusioned, and maybe even a bit betrayed.
"... a bit betrayed?" I feel like I've been sucker-punched even though I'm very much Woke. I hear you, though. Right now, I don't feel very forgiving. Tomorrow's another day....
Thanks to Reed and Katie for a very informative pod cast. I have been thinking about Alligator Alcatraz. What a deplorable site. Three thousand bed sheltered in tents in a very inhospitable environment infested with ,mosquitoes pythons , alligators and the odd anaconda with no running water and no toilet facilities. How barbaric This is just a concentration camp for alleged immigrant criminals who will be processed by Florida National Guard members. They will be deputized as immigration judges, allowing migrants to have hearings within 48 hours which will be masked as due process. How many folks will be processed in a fair manner. For those that don't die in the sweltering heat of 120 degrees , they will be flown out to unknown countries. Trump says it will house “some of the most vicious people on the planet” and the “worst of the worst.” I can guarantee you it will not be the "worst of the worst" , it will be American citizens and brown immigrants. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem warned illegal migrants to self-deport or else risk ending up at the facility. It’s never a mistake to predict it will get worse with Trump and his hateful, lawless, authoritarian regime. I shudder to imagine the pleasure Trump will convey if and when an escapee is eaten or killed by an alligator. Its hard to imagine that he, Noem and the sadistic Trump advisor Stephen Miller are not planning other camps and other ways to punish migrants and other unwanted people that they demonize. Funded with the FEMA dollars.
Well, goodness gracious AL, we certainly wouldn't want to waste FEMA money on things like hurricane relief, or forest fire response, or anything that might actually help the American residents who have been paying for it... Trump knows all those Americans would much rather pay to torture and deport "bad guys"...
We are way beyond of point of complaining on social media. We need to get out and act. We also need to create ideas and spread them on social media so we are all in agreement and aware of actions suggested. The people acted together and weakened Tesler. We need to strategically pick others and do the same.
How much do you suppose it cost for all the Jan 6 investigations, trials, subsequent incarcerations, and now lawsuits? ALL Pardoned. Now they wear masks and salute ICE. Add that to the tally!
"We can't teach critical thinking." And as the universities are dropping programs faster than usual (I lost my job teaching at Purdue in 2017, when they decided to eliminate a Literature major and fired most of the department--thanks Mitch Daniels), analysis of anything will go with it. This is intentional. Add AI, and it won't be long till we have no idea what's really happening (a built in excuse for denial). What the fuck are we experiencing?!?
Donable Lector always said, "I like the uneducated.".....Katie is so right on in this interview......Combover did tell everyone what what he was going to do........dictator on day one for example.
Michelle, my stomach also churns, but I think you are absolutely correct. I AVOID twitter like the measles, but that is where the message needs to be...
Not celebrating July 4 to celebrate “freedom” that is over in this environment. Republicans have literally demolished democracy by moving lockstep with a fascist.
I would suggest that the Constitution be amended or rewritten so that at no time in the future can a group of elected officials and SCOTUS can never undermine our Nation for personal gain again. No felons allowed to hold office.
A multi-layered check and balance of government power, including an oversight by civilians and select government officials.
Penalties for violating a future Constitution must include prison time if convicted.
The good news is, alligators are guaranteed at least 65 million meals if we get started now"
(There are aproximatly 65 million Lation people in America........this should destroy any argument that the Trump dictatorship is not full blown Nazi!!!)
Thank you both, for this discussion. I agree that the impulse is there to to curtly shout 'well, YOU voted for this, so shut up and quit your whining'. But we must set that impulse aside, and instead welcome them into a commiserating conversation to the maximum extent that they seem capable of understanding the actual issues. These are people who "hate government" (whatever the hell that means) and they have been taught to 'hate all the fat cat government workers in their cushy jobs' - - all the while having NO IDEA what our government that has been built to serve our people's needs actually does. So they have less than a glimmer of understanding what they are losing...
Hey folks let’s not be fooled, trump and is crew are cunning as foxes. They are smart on gaslighting and luring the uneducated and uninformed to sleep. We all know this bill is a major coup for the rich illite. The bill passed, what to watch are the MAGA little bitches who said they will vote against the bill, but they carved out deals and voted the line. We need to hold the line and fight without letting up. We have the vote. Make sure we ALL in one voice call out the MAGAs lie, bad bill and its consequences.
As you probably know, some of the important stuff doesn't go into effect till after the midterms. The Republicans think this will save their seats. Our mission: To make sure it doesn't work.

NoKings coast to coast protests every other week along with complet buisness shutdowns.
Co-ordinated mass school walk outs. Look what happened in Hungary with thousands going to the streets defying Orban.
People need to close the laptops and hit the streets in the millions on a regular basis.
They need to feel it in their pockets...

Trump just funded 100 Billion dollars to ICE, HE JUST CREATED A GESTAPO, LET THAT SHIT SINK IN!

I turns my stomach but all this needs to be posted on X. We are speaking to the choir. That’s why 48% don’t have a clue.

Agreed 100%, from today until the midterms, we must expose that bill for what it is, the great trump rip-off supported by the little bitches.

ICE money runs out, Trump wants passage of SOOOO many bad things but Kristi has spent all her money. ICE needs more money, NOW!
Exactly, Katie! Who in the fuck would arrest, detain and torture people in such a place?!!! for any amount of pay?
Share the facts, expose the bill’s contents
This was great! Thanks! Am so glad I can catch up later when not able to view the live event.
