This is directly contradicted not just by the article but also by the headline.

Just to remind you the headline was “Gov. Tim Walz encourages Minnesotans to film ICE agents for future prosecutions” emphasis added.

The first part of the article says:

Gov. Tim Walz encouraged Minnesota residents to carry their phones at all times to record federal immigration actions, promising during a statewide address on Wednesday night that “accountability is coming” for abuses by federal officers.

Emphasis added again.

If we could cause a mass wave of subscription cancellations we could finish them off. I know no on here is subscribing to them but if you know anyone else who is urge them to cancel their ChatGPT/OpenAI subscriptions. If you have the chance to provide feedback for why you canceled be sure to mention you’re unhappy OpenAI donated $25 million to Trump and unhappy about the ads.

I researched your claims because I was curious about this having never heard about any of this.

What I found is that “against trans rights” seems to come solely or mostly from a leaked text message that I’m guessing you’re referring to.

I found this article which looked at his overall record: https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2024/10/rep-ruben-gallego-a-champion-for-lgbtq-rights-in-congress/ and it’s overall positive including on trans rights.

As for the leaked text message it seems the original source was here: https://humanevents.com/2025/11/25/exclusive-reuben-gallegos-leaked-texts-mocking-appearance-of-democrat-women-revealed (archive link so you don’t have to give the website your click https://archive.is/yaSNB)

That’s from Jack Posobiec’s (trump supporter) website. Reading what Gallego actually wrote I must confess while I’m not completely on board what he’s saying I do kind of understand where he’s coming from. Some people have the perhaps false impression that Democrats are focused on correcting people for minor things but a lot of that is because of right-wing propaganda ex: from Fox.

If you plant a tree will it be big in one day? Maybe TISZA won’t change everything but it’s a step in the right direction.

I’m very grateful you do that! It does all add up. Hopefully Democrats can start having real conversations with other people, I don’t mean trying to change the most die-hard MAGA-type person but there are lots of people who don’t think much about politics, are undecided or independent. If we can reach those people in masses I think it could start causing a shift from red to blue and hopefully it’s enough to save our country.

The difference between a blue state and red state is often times just a few percentage points of voting. This is not a good idea. Also there are so many amazing Democrats who have no choice but to live in red states. Moving is really expensive. Will you be willing to pay everyone’s moving expenses? How will we afford a home or apartment in another state? Will we all have jobs? You will hurt a countless number of people if this happens.

The only thing people should be giving up is their Amazon Prime subscriptions and AWS hosting. You’re very likely getting ripped off and overcharged if you use AWS. Also although I recommend ordering from other websites if you have no choice but to use Amazon you don’t need Prime for free shipping, just wait until you have enough stuff in your cart such that you’re over the free shipping threshold. Don’t order unnecessary stuff to get over the threshold.

This is good but no matter what I don’t think Google should have such a monopoly over the web.

Solution: cancel your Amazon Prime subscription. Remember that Bezos also funded Trump’s inauguration and he ruined the Washington Post.

Spotify is still giving tons of money to Joe Rogan. Until they fix that they deserve to be boycotted. Also the headline is misleading because the contract simply expired.

I hope we can have leaders like Mamdani everywhere. We can if enough people fight for it.

For what it’s worth I read the whole thing in what felt like one or two minutes and I don’t think I’m a particularly fast reader. I think it looks longer because there are not many blank lines. It seems well written but I guess I do slightly get that AI feeling too, it just might be because he/she is a good writer so now people think good writing is AI, sad it’s coming down to this.

It’s not shocking. Fox news always lies. That’s why I wish everyone would just shut it off. If you see a TV playing that crap like at the gym or a waiting room ask them to change the channel or change it yourself. Especially if you’re alone in the room you can even edit the channel list and remove Fox or add parental control and block the channel. Universal remotes or a smartphone with a USB-C IR blaster can let you control almost any TV. Or even simpler if the TV has physical buttons or the cable box has buttons just press those and to change the channel. This is all TV dependent of course but just food for thought.

I totally agree with you. I literally made my username “BoycottTwitter” because it’s so important and so basic.

It’s Trump’s strategy he learned from Roy Cohn. https://www.npr.org/2024/12/26/g-s1-40039/deny-deflect-delay-jeremy-strong-channels-trumps-mentor-in-the-apprentice.

We see Trump “Deny, deflect, delay” a lot. He’s already tried to deny it. He’s trying to deflect it and he’s also delaying it.

The solution is to leverage the fact that he’s delaying it and keep it in the news cycle as much as possible. Turn his strategy against him and make him as unpopular as possible. The less popular he is the less support he will have if things get even worse and he tries to rig/cancel elections.

I believe even despite the article I posted that we will win big in the midterms but we must keep pressure up and fight everyday for a future we can believe in.

It can! People have done it in the past and we will do it too!

Read this article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learned_helplessness and let’s kick some ass together!

Mark Kelly I think is for sure doing more than others in fighting the Trump regime.

He put out this video today which I thought was powerful! https://bsky.app/profile/captmarkkelly.bsky.social/post/3mbp2oz33xs2y

Of course actions matter more than words but motivating words is more than what some people have done.

Good point! I fixed the sentence.

I appreciate you using xcancel instead of linking directly to Xitter but AOC said the same thing on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/aoc.bsky.social/post/3mbjqcdvqh22q

I think there are tiers.

Best: Linking to alternative platforms when someone has multiple social media accounts. Prefer Bluesky and Mastodon as the highest priority.

Better: When it’s exclusive to Twitter use xcancel or nitter. You did that and I’m glad!

Worst: Linking directly to Twitter. People who directly click on a Twitter URL may be promoted to register or sign in.
