The Epstein Regime is hell bent on paving the way for sending kids to concentration camps and/or into danger abroad by forcing them to face immigration court without legal counsel. @defiancedispatch.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy breaks it all down: www.instagram.com/reels/DbbxrG...

Vital to tell the truth of horrors to have any hope of confronting them. We will never convince majority of Americans we must close "detention facilities," which sound reasonable to many, let alone marshal collective action to do so.

Authoritarians assume power with shock & awe till they're met with resistance; then they use compliant existing administrative state to continue & grow their all out assault on anyone they deem enemies. But the more local they go, the more the force of everyday people can actually stop them. /1 RE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:6c45z5sf3rhgrupy26iqndmc/post/3mruogqwpo22q

The pedophile protector regime wants to force kids to beg for their lives alone in immigration court.

"Electability" conversation exists inside make-believe where only habitual voters turnout and some number must be coaxed into swapping parties, based on rational issue position calculus. In fact, what caused Dem MEGA Blue Wave in 2018 was unprecedented non-habitual & new voter turnout. /1

Once again, there is only one apt name: MAGA Murder Regime. RE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:6m7rbdgaz5vyg4bnbefi7kh6/post/3mro3eys2ek23

The more people *experience* the MAGA Agenda the more they hate it. So, doesn't it seem like a good idea to be very clear, repetitive and explicit exactly what they have unleashed? By which I mean, using direct language not euphemism, making explicit plans for consequences for their crimes.

Understandably, Dems celebrating polling from Fox News, no less, showing they're now even with Reps on immigration. Imagine where they could be if more of them made the argument against the MAGA Murder Regime & for immigrants.

Gets harder to scare people about invented villains when the real ones keep murdering people in broad daylight while stealing our healthcare and starving our children. RE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:iu4j537hox5huj4bwnwgub4z/post/3mrdbwp75fk2s

THIS. Median voter theorists claim people are making "rational" choices arraying themselves on some clear left-right spectrum and picking the candidate(s) closest to them. In reality, we're primates seeking BELONGING - something MAGA offers (to the chosen) & left has neglected for long time.

Of all the negation errors, "non citizens are not voting" is the MOST confusing one to voters in focus groups because it's a double-negative. People actually can't follow what this is meant convey. As ever, say what IS happening don't argue against what is NOT happening.

Lovely sentiment, sadly untrue. So much wrong with our elections - no time off to vote, massive lines many places, districts drawn by politicians picking their voters, electoral college, urban folks having so much less say than rural (Senate), massive $ in politics./1 RE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:7y56hbn7lt6gkqrjj65quotl/post/3mquzpzowhh2j

Here's a wild idea: How about if people running for office have some demonstrated commitment to and experience in some collective effort for social good? Maybe that's government service, maybe union leadership, maybe community organizing. But something.

Timely reminder: Authoritarians lie to be repeated - to force us to have their conversation instead of our own. If you're debunking the claims, you're giving them airtime.

Translation: "Let's retraumatize these unimaginably brave women who were raped as girls by forcing them to speak to yet another man (who will deny the crimes committed) in order to have more power to strip all women of their rights. So I can greenlight it and pretend I care about women." RE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:4llrhdclvdlmmynkwsmg5tdc/post/3mqrv2ard3g2d

The criminal in chief will do some rambling tonight. No need to tune in, spoiler: He'll recycle tired lies about the 2020 election in hopes of seizing power over this one & controlling the outcomes. He'll likely announce some thing he doesn't have power to do. And sell shares of Straight of Hormuz!

When the budget first came out in 2025, I insisted we name it the MAGA Murder Bill because that's the only thing that would (1) have a chance to get heard (2) make stakes clear. Got told that was "hyperbolic" & would turn off swing. RE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:4llrhdclvdlmmynkwsmg5tdc/post/3mqrfs7y66c23

Wanna know how you can tell public opinion is movable? The right keeps aggressively moving it aided by the center refusing to make the argument or actually jumping on the bandwagon. RE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:4rdwwanedxgqfzwqrjyfycnb/post/3mqmhjf5lik2t

Follow the thread below to see the evidence folks pushing the same tired strategy that has reliably failed Dems don't want to face. TLDR - you beat the opposition by exposing them as the villains they are, not affirming their efforts to scapegoat others.

When the regime can't be bothered even to repeat their own lie, it's clear they believe they can get away with whatever they desire. And, honestly, why would they think differently? RE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:zhcfq6acrvb6ermtjt644w2n/post/3mqku6vbnwc25

Astonishing how quickly voter hunger for "authenticity" got refashioned as convention. Authenticity means - I can trust you, what you say aligns with what you do, who you are today lasts till tomorrow.

They lose, they lie, they lash out. They can see the loss coming and peddle their lies to evade the truth: A political party tries to court your vote. An authoritarian regime tries to keep you from voting, keep votes from counting and keep rehashing lies to control the outcome of elections.
