Will you ever understand that this is exactly the function of the Democratic Party now?
The longer you cling onto them, the further away it slips the day when Nazis are ousted and people –all of the people– are allowed to breathe.
Dems are effectively Vichy now.

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false & illegal invocation of the #InsurrectionAct is coming before the end of the year. #Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential #Treason. State governments should be telling us. #Activists should be developing plans.

The White House on Monday backed off U.S. President Donald Trump's assertion that government employees were being laid off "right now" due to the shutdown, but warned that job losses could come. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/10/07/world/us-shutdown-layoff-warning/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #us #donaldtrump #congress #republicans #democrats

Very different kinds of #conservative #activists, but worth noting that #WilliamBuckley, #CharlieKirk, & #BariWeiss all started their careers by advocating for #professors to be fired for #speech they disagreed with. Such a through line of the #postwar right in the #US.

The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump will start laying off federal workers if Trump decides negotiations with Democrats to end a government shutdown are "going nowhere," a White House official said. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/10/06/world/politics/white-house-mass-layoffs-shutdown/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #us #congress #budgets #donaldtrump #republicans #democrats

Senate Democrats on Friday rejected a Republican spending bill in a vote that will almost certainly push the U.S. government shutdown into next week. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/10/04/world/politics/us-shutdown-impasse/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #us #democrats #republicans

U.S. President Donald Trump is considering eliminating "thousands” of federal jobs ahead of a meeting with his budget director as the White House looks to ratchet up pressure on Democrats to end a government shutdown. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/10/03/world/politics/trump-federal-workers-cut/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #us #jobs #democrats #republicans #donaldtrump

JB Pritzker calls for invoking the 25th Amendment. https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/jb-pritzker-donald-trump-vladimir-putin-25th-amendment-military-training-grounds/
It seems that saying:
"I will be a mayor who doesn’t bow down to corporate interests, doesn’t take his orders from billionaires, and sure as hell doesn’t let ICE steal our neighbors from their homes”
... was possible after all those decades of Democrats triangulating neoliberalism and optimising for poverty.
