"The Democratic establishment seems to make decisions based on its immediate electoral horizons, regardless of the wider political context. Whereas Trump and his loyalists act like a vanguard, Democratic officialdom has been so conditioned by the strictures of the old constitutional compact that they appear signally incapable of deviating from it.

This creates a potential opening for the American left. While centrist Democrats try in vain to uphold the old constitutional order, and the far right fails to replace it with anything beyond predation and xenophobia, the role of democratic-socialist forces could be to advance a viable alternative. Such an effort must take many forms. It requires defending those especially vulnerable to Trumpist assault – noncitizens, transpersons and activists on behalf of Palestinian rights, among others. Centrist politicians and commentators have been notably willing to cast aside all these groups – in part out of genuine ideological suspicion, in part out of sheer electoral opportunism. But a longstanding lesson of political opposition under authoritarian conditions – whether in the segregation-era American South or outside the United States – is that a critical means for building cross-group trust and solidarity, including for election season, is a willingness to stand on principle. This means taking risks even when it is not in your immediate self-interest. And the failure of many Democrats to do just that is its own opening for leftwing formations."

#AlarmBells are going off in a sign that says "No! No! No! No!" and nothing else.

One sign says "#Impeach the #FelonInChief"

"This is a #MoralMoment. It's. not #Left or #Right, but Right or Wrong" — #CoryBooker

Someone with a #NationalParkService decal says "I Wish #Trump Would Pet a Bison" — very creative!

Then there's the #DumpTrump sign.

In the back there's "Free Books, Free Minds, Support #IMLS & Your Local #Library. …#DOGE #SHANKKK"

"Hands Off #NATO"

Irrational leftists advocating the destruction of anything not-left often via violence are banding up on the #fediverse and the community is silent because of their political leanings.
Advocating Violence is unacceptable, immoral, it's #terrorism.
A cancer within the #FOSS community.
Don't stay silent on left terror. They will eventually turn on you for being less left and non-violent.
SPEAK UP! #FOSS
