I don’t know…I’m convinced these folks are both dumb and high enough on their own supply that I fully expect them to attempt what they are saying. To your point though, there are many, many more of us than there are of them.
I don't think people understand that if you shut down the government, ICE and CBP do NOT shut down. They're funded by supplemental money from the BBB. That's why dems are separating the DHS funding bill and asking for restrictions. I want them to demand a rescission of that funding or shut DHS down
There was an ICE/DHS raid this week in Jeffersonville, VT. Our rural communities are already struggling to get by and these fascists have kidnapped our neighbors. The people being abducted pay our taxes, shop in our stores, provide labor and services in construction, agriculture, and more.
my god, what a paragraph
(from tonight's @hcrichardson.bsky.social)
“You can win elections by tacking to the middle; lots of people have. But you can also win elections by staking a moral position and convincing people to agree with you. You can earn support by demonstrating what is important to you instead of just being determined to nod along with what you hear.”
A ruling this week in a multistate lawsuit that Vermont declined to join is fueling renewed criticism of Republican Gov. Phil Scott’s decision to hand over the sensitive personal information of low-income Vermonters to the Trump administration.

Under Trump’s tariff taxes, every American is paying more for their daily necessities. Under Trump’s broken economy, working people are poorer while billionaires are grossly richer.
Emerging from the darkness of this era will require us to acknowledge that the previous status quo, including many institutions that may have served us well in another era, have been failing for my entire lifetime.

“Voters didn’t turn out for Democrats last November - not because they don’t want us to fight for our values, but because they think we don’t want to fight for our values. We need to knock off the rust of poll-tested language, decades of stale decorum. It’s obscured our better instincts.” - Pritzker
This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.
A USDA program that served more than 50 Vermont farms — for projects like planting trees, cover cropping and implementing low-till practices designed for flood mitigation — has lost over half a million dollars in federal funding.
Not surprised, given the column is named “Tariffs CHARGED to the US”, which is just not how tariffs work
People have been screaming for action from Dems for over 2 months
Recognize when Dems stand up & push back.
You may want more, but it won’t come if you scorn any & all action.
Offer some kind of public “payoff,” & more people will stand up.
Don’t fall into yet another Democratic purity test.
Give me it. ❤️
Gosh. If only there were an historical analogue we could study to learn about the horrors of rounding people up without due process and sending them to torture camps in other countries.
I'm at a conference, & Ro Khanna just endorsed primary challenges against Dems. "How can you hold these seats & say no for the good of the party I don’t think young people should run?You want to run against me, run, you want to run against Nancy, run. If you’re good you’ll win. This is a democracy."
The image is a screenshot of a post on X by a user named Pete Buttigieg (@PeteButtigieg ). The post reads: "Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously. Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that."
Keep the Congressional switchboard number handy these days: (202) 224-3121
the strongest case for socializing the ownership of capital is that the current owners of capital are idiots
The absolute lack of awareness or concern that they just killed 53 people, including children, with a bomb drop on an apartment building. They have no decency. They are broken.
Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.
This is classified information.
The President will claim it is not because he’s declassifying it AFTER the fact because his administration is now responsible for one of the greatest national security failures of our time.
Well, they lied. Obviously.
The reckless incompetence of Pete Hegseth and this administration’s handling of national security is exactly why DEI matters. We need leadership based on merit and accountability, not privileged white men failing upward. This is dangerous and unacceptable. Consequences should be demanded.
Yes. Let's fucking go.

The people behind this don't get to rest on political norms. They all need to face the consequences of their actions. They need to be in prison.
every person involved in this needs to be in prison
i wonder WHat IT could bE?
