I think Walz is right on this, and another reason he should be the nominee in 2028, but won’t if shitheads like Newsom get their way.

NEW - Tim Walz to me, backstage to in Eau Claire on Tuesday:
“It’s going to get very dark,” he said, running through speculation that ranged from Trump soon ordering the arrest of a political opponent to trying to anoint a son as his successor.

How does the saying go, “It’s better when they’re inside our tent, it makes it easier for them to piss on us”, or am I confusing this with something else?

Gods dammit, Sarah! What the actual fuck? Do the MAGAs have to start stuffing us into the gas chambers while the fucking democrats stand around shrugging before you think about not going along with this shit? You already know how they’re treating you, right? See those other democrats who’re doing the right thing and objecting to that? Yeah, go with them and reject those with “differing stances.”

In his memoirs, Yehuda Leib Gerst described Rumkowski as a complex person: “This man had sickly leanings that clashed. Toward his fellow Jews, he was an incomparable tyrant who behaved just like a Führer and cast deathly terror to anyone who dared to oppose his lowly ways. Toward the perpetrators, however, he was as tender as a lamb and there was no limit to his base submission to all their demands, even if their purpose was to wipe us out totally. Either way, he did not properly understand his situation and position and their limits.”

Dammit. I even went and read the linked article, hoping there was some nuance to her comments. Nope! She’s saying we should tolerate the intolerant. All of the Democrats mentioned in that article were all basically saying, “Well a majority of Americans now believe we need to limit trans people’s rights, so that’s what we’re going to do.” Cowards. They’re all fucking cowards.

I’ve said before, basic human rights are not things that should be up for a vote! If you are human, you get human rights. Of course, there is a catch. If they redefine what is “human” there might be an issue.

There’s an alternate interpretation of “tolerance” I’ve seen explained. It’s not a good one.
It’s more prevalent on one side than the other, but I’ve seen enough “tolerant” things said online to prove it’s more common than it ought to be in some who claim to be on the right side of history.

Good! They should be scared. Maybe they’ll start doing something!
ETA:
Illinois Representative Sean Casten was grilled by constituents during a town hall about standing up to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer – who joined Republicans in passing a temporary funding bill. One voter asked Casten if he was “prepared for violence” because “nice and civility doesn’t work.”
After facing questions and repeated disruptions from protestors, Casten told Axios a colleague called him crying.
“They hate us. They hate us,” the colleague told Casten.
Again…good! Maybe they’ll get the message.

I was either getting more asks for donations from the DNC or just noticed them more.
I unsubscribed and there was a box to say why. I wrote:
When you start fighting back I’ll give you more money. Stop capitulating

My phone has been blowing up with donation requests too.

Maybe they are trying to ride the small wave AOC, Walz, and Bernie are making? I sincerely hope they get some traction.
I might donate to one of them or a local. No money to the national party until they do something

I have big, Irish, issues with donating to anything called the No Surrender Fund.
