If the US were a geopolitical rival the headlines would be like: US Secret Police Execute Second Dissident In the Streets As Militarized Occupation Enters Sixth Week
Most of the people with the guns (especially the most lethal ones) are on Trump's side. Tyranny by white supremacists and Christian Nationalists is cool with them. But if anyone else tries it...
Hey! Can you clarify where, exactly, folks should gather today? Or are you just encouraging folks to come to the park with signs and stroll around, play it by ear, etc.?
pro tip: very few people right now want to hear about how your conscience wouldn't let you vote for Kamala. shut the fuck up
Too soon!
Don’t worry: the 2nd amendment people who told us we couldn’t ban their AR-15s in case they had to overthrow a tyrannical government are going to save us any day now, and all the mass shootings will have been worth it.
Glitch in the matrix. There were only supposed to be two.
It's to make me look smaht
I have photographic evidence of a certain Thanksgiving cooking fire our families shared, and all of us in calico dresses -- Little House meets the Massachusetts Bay Colony, but in Connecticut.
Your backdrop was WAY cooler than mine!
It’s true.

This is great but I sure wish they’d gotten their act together to do it sooner. I like to think that constituent calls helped. And of course, courage is contagious. Gradually it’s happening
There will be protests at those battlefields (Minuteman Natnl Historic Park) on the 19th.

No boycott needed. Only his cult would go anyway. What needs to happen is another big event at the same time to pull focus
5 million people around the country protested yesterday, but somehow that news isn't fit to print on the homepage of @nytimes.com today. WTF? #HandsOff
Boston was out in force. Rising up against tyranny is kind of our thing. #handsoff
Seriously!
Any resistance from the Dems gets media coverage is good resistance. #CoryBooker
Be anyone you want to be, just not that guy who says “actually, we’re a republic, not a democracy”
?
We’re getting there.
Maybe not in one place, but we’re a much, much bigger country.
There have been multiple large demonstrations cross the US since early February. You should go to one.
Should we call him Chuck Chamberlain or Neville Schumer? @schumer.senate.gov
American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.
Holy crap, they're actually doing something smart. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/14/u...
Exactly! In Season 1 there were also the complex dynamics between the native Hawaians / the hotel / the guests (shown through the Kai & Paula plot), and issues of class / race / exploitation in the relationship btwn Tanya and Belinda
