🚨 There’s a lot of horrific news out of Washington right now—but you might have missed this: Senate Republicans just introduced a plan to sell off 120 million acres of our public lands. Let me break down what’s in the bill and why it’s a full-scale land grab. 🧵

Attention: California cat 🐈‍⬛ lovers✨

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory. Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

The Main Reason The Tariffs Won’t Work! Please Share! youtu.be/Po3c5-5AtgQ?...

Tell everyone in Wisconsin

These are e most important #s for the Dems. They should be tracking all local media and influencers in these states and reposting it everywhere The economic pain tariffs can indlict on red states need to be talked about more than anything else right now. It will flip voters.

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

One thing Democratic leadership could do right now is to name an alternate HHS secretary--someone to provide ongoing public updates and health information. And do it for other departments too. Start showing voters what a Democratic government would look like--press conferences, speeches, all of it.

Imagine if @aoc @sanders.senate.gov , every dem, SIMULTANEOUSLY held Town Halls where they allowed grant and contract recipients to explain to the country what it is they do and why it's important Invite all media. Including RW podcasters. @spaces Flood the zone Call it a Day Of Transparency

The AMA has a YouTube page where you can catch up on all the fun, ongoing TB & bird flu outbreaks, since the CDC is no longer allowed to do that: youtube.com/watch?v=HlPB...

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

I generally agree with this, but I would just say that you need to swing at a few more pitches than you have been and you need to swing sooner. Taking pitches until the count is 0-2, and then swinging late at a slider in the dirt isn’t going to get it done.

There has never been a better time to go out of your way to make an extra effort to shop at family-owned small businesses buying local products whenever possible, avoiding chains, online behemoths, and big corporations whenever you are able.

Speaking of healthcare. Let's make @bsky.app the platform that fights misinformation. Some great follows are @drsusanoliver.bsky.social @jsm2334.bsky.social @therealtruther.bsky.social Let's get them more followers and engagement than other platforms and let health science accounts find a home

My full guide to resistance! Hope this is useful and remember we are all in this together

I never endorse anybody for anything partly because I’m nobody & partly because I don’t want to publicly take sides inside the party, & this is only my personal endorsement, but I have listened to the candidates & read a lot & I think Ben Wikler is the right person for DNC Chair.

If you want to understand why healthcare pricing is horrific, the first thing to know is that our system puts 100% of the credit risk for deductibles, copays and co-insurance on hospitals and doctors. That's insane. We have turned them into Sub Prime Lenders 🧵

How many independent media and podcast interviews did the leaders of the Democratic Party do today, since they are now starting to talk a big game about “building up progressive alternative media?” Don’t just talk about it, lead by example, and don’t just keep doing cable news.

"Trump won 91 percent of “news desert” counties—where there is no local coverage of any kind—by an average of 54 percentage points. Notably, several of these are heavily Latino counties on the southern Texas border, which saw enormous swings toward Trump." prospect.org/politics/202...

Virtually every question today at the WH Press briefing was about the Hunter pardon, as if that is the thing the American people care about most right now. The DC press is so disconnected from the American public and serves them poorly more often than not.

Wow. This video is truly eye-opening. Take a couple minutes to watch this. A mind-boggling visual representation of wealth inequality in America. This sh*t ain’t workin’, folks. #TaxBillionaires #UnionsForAll

Smart piece about fighting Trumpism by Gabor Scheiring, who witnessed Viktor Orban’s destruction of Hungarian democracy. Scheiring’s message on the media: “Liberal-minded billionaires should not sit idly by as they did in Hungary, watching the right take over the media.”

I post a lot of good news about dogs on Twitter but A lot of people asking to also post here now. Struggle to find the time but if I get over 20k followers here I'll find a way to post daily. 🎤 Mic check. Is this thing on?

I learned some stuff about Bluesky I did not know by reading this. Maybe worth passing it on to others so we can all start getting the full benefit of the 🦋.
