I was uncomfortable at protests when people were shouting pedo supporter to passing maga pickups. There is so much that is proven and known to be horrible, no need to stretch to unproven, in my opinion.
Hi, I agree with convicted and proven. I have more trouble with pedophile since I am not aware of proof of him engaging with a girl under 18. Does not seem impossible at all, but I want to be careful to accuse what is proven, like the rape.

Last night, I said that today, there would be a LOT of screaming about gerrymandering, given the election in Virginia.
I also explained a crucial difference in how it was done—in both VA and CA: they asked the voters to decide.

The DOJ indicted the Southern Poverty Law Center, an organization that has spent more than half a century fighting the Klan, tracking hate, and defending civil rights. Let's be clear about what's happening. This administration is using the full weight of federal prosecution to target an organization whose mission is rooting out violent extremism. This is part and parcel of Trump's assault on free speech, on nonprofits, and on anyone who dares to disagree with him. First it was lawfare against political opponents. Then it was revoking the tax status of universities. Now it's a federal indictment against one of the most historic civil rights organizations in America. The SPLC has saved lives. It will not be silenced — and neither will we.
Now DOJ is demanding 2024 ballots from Michigan without a proper legal basis. Is it just a coincidence that it’s targeting swing states like Michigan, Georgia, and Arizona in the lead-up to the 2026 election?

Jason Benetti is a jinx as****
Just watched an interview with Peggy Flannagan, Lt Gov of MN, who is running for Senate. Really nice interview. Exactly the sort of person we want. MN nice, but fierce and determined. Starts at the 60min mark. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJcy...
Stock traders seem completely disconnected from reality. This article explains their 6-12 month viewpoint, but I still think they are nuts. Hopefully their disconnect does not result in a crash. www.cnbc.com/2026/04/16/s...
Hegseth gave a speech, quoting what he thought was a military adaptation of scripture, but it was actually from the Book of Tarantino, ie the Samuel L Jackson's violent prayer in Pulp Fiction before he kills a bunch of people. PSA played both side by side at 15:30 -- www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEMA...

Worth noting that Hungary was much further down the road to fascism than we are. And with one election and a motivated electorate, it’s over.
Viktor Orbán's defeat came thanks to a broad, diverse, and patriotic grassroots movement—and shatters the assumption of inevitability that has pervaded illiberal movements across the globe, @anneapplebaum.bsky.social argues.

It's critical that people understand Trump took the world to the brink, and that congressional Rs showed their hand: Given a choice between armageddon and constraining Trump, they'll choose armageddon. It's also critical that we try to bring the crisis to an end. www.offmessage.net/p/republican...
"...one of our major parties revealed that it will not step up even when its leader threatens unthinkably
massive war crimes and even genocide."
@gregsargent.bsky.social keeps saying it and I think that statement is the most important (and depressing) truth to come out of this whole debacle.
REPUBLICANS in Congress: If you are not speaking out and pushing back, then you are PERSONALLY RESPONSIBLE, and we won't forget.
If I were in Trump's Cabinet, I would spend Easter calling constitutional lawyers about the 25th Amendment.
This is completely, utterly unhinged. He's already killed thousands. He's going to kill thousands more.
Chuck Schumer likes to imagine how his politics play with an imaginary middle-class middle-aged couple on Long Island, but I don't think he realizes that couple is currently constructing a guillotine in their suburban backyard and stockpiling Molotov cocktails.

One of the things these protests do is recharge the batteries. Long road to go, but heart warming to see fellow travelers. ❤️
No Kings today !!!
Not impressed with Jason Benetti missing Tigers opening day. If he wanted some other job, he should not have taken this one. We deserve an announcer who is not distracted. Kind of had it with him.

Think voting doesn’t matter? 766 votes.
A graphic featuring an image of long TSA lines at Baltimore-Washington International Airport. White and yellow text on screen reads, "Fact: Republican control all three branches of government. Democrats have proposed TSA funding seven times. Each time, they were blocked by Republicans."
Donald Trump and Republicans did this.
(over an image of the map of 3,000 No Kings protests planned for March 28) TOTAL NUMBER OF NO KINGS 3 EVENTS 3,000
It’s official: There are now 3,000 protests planned for No Kings Day.
That means there will be more protests on March 28 than any previous day in American history.

You want to know what insults Jesus?

ICE detention deaths are now occurring at a rate of roughly one every four days. Three weeks ago that rate was one every six days. The pace is accelerating, and Congress has not launched a single investigation.
