🧵 In the 1930s Great Depression, a violent splinter group broke away from the Ku Klux Klan. They called themselves The Black Legion — America’s hidden white supremacist army.

Turns out you really do need food inspectors after all
The FDA has announced a recall of 25 varieties of cream cheese due to possible contamination with listeria.

I wish the media had the same urgency about the state of Mitch McConnell as they did for Kamala's W-2 from McDonald's in the 80s.

Thou shalt arrest Kristi Noem and put her in a detention center indefinitely so she can “await processing.”

Turner Classic Movies is resisting today - right now. Keeper of the Flame. It takes a while to get to the point, but this is an amazing anti-fascist movie. So anti-Trump. Huge respect to TCM.

The GOP is not a good faith partner in governing. They are not on the level. Their stated goals are irrelevant and disconnected to their behavior.
Any Democrat who pretends otherwise is misunderstanding our opposition and not up to what this moment demands.

It’s almost impossible to watch most of the TV coverage of the big awful bill, which treats it like the usual Congressional horse trading rather than an entire party that is fine with destroying America to please Donald Trump in his pursuit of total power.

Bad people know that one way to control people is to make them feel economically uncertain, so more of their time is spent worrying about their own precarity and less on the general welfare and/or what the bad people are doing. There's a reason the current administration is undermining the economy.
Interesting thought on the financial stability. The more stable I personally got, the more time and space I had to gather more information. The more information I had, the more accepting I got.
Hadn't really thought about that till now.

Just got word that Secretary Noem is asking for an addition to her budget - a new private Gulfstream 5 jet for her personal national photo op tour. She's already got a private plane but wants a tricked out new one.
All while she supports kicking 13 million people off Medicaid.

Imagine the biggest problem in your life being about which bathroom a total stranger uses.
Imagine pretending random people you'll never meet are somehow victimizing you with their existence.
Imagine being that hard up for troubles that you have to invent them just so you can play the victim.

Just today, three next-gen leaders jumped into big races - Mallory McMorrow for Senate in MI, & Jake Rakov and Deja Foxx for US House in CA & AZ. The Democratic Party *will* be changing, whether the leadership & establishment likes it or not.
