I could not agree more. As a life-long Dem, I have never felt our party to be weaker or more lost. We desperately need real vision, leadership, and a dedication to service over self-interest. Show us you care more about our collective future than your reelection.

Fair enough. I just hope there is room here on Bluesky and in our movement for different perspectives and approaches. Nature thrives on diversity and so to, I think, do political movements.

I definitely get it. I just wonder what line we should be holding? The more we focus on Trump the person, the more we feed his and MAGAs sense of persecution. That in turn causes them to dig in harder. My gut says Americans are want someone to stand & deliver what they voted for--jobs, lower prices.

I have a different take. Impeachment efforts that can not result in actual removal from office are just fuel for the MAGA fire. They are performative in a way that reinforces the Dems do not have a real plan. I'd rather have all the Dems stand up and declare what they stand for and fight for that.

100% agree. It is also putting the focus in the wrong place. Trump is awful, but his policies and actions are destroying America. Let's draw a bright line between America under Trump and America protected, educated, employed, and moving forward under Democrats v2.

I am very much appreciating @andybeshearky.bsky.social posts on Blue Sky. We need him and all Democrats to talk about the future we can and will create with new and revitalized leadership.

No question about it. But we can not change that past. All we can do is rally the millions of Americans who know we are on the wrong path. America is in pain. Time for us to offer a clearly different prescription to MAGA. Democratic Party v2.

How many Americans have a loved one who is experiencing dementia? Millions. How many know how poorly Trump/RFK Jr. understand or value the research needed to stop this tragic condition? Hundreds? We need powerful voices to stand up and say that a strong America protects and cares for its own.

Calling for impeachment is just fuel for the MAGA fire as this BS Trump post shows. It is an impotent threat since it is impossible with the entire Republican party prostrate at his feet. I'd rather see us galvanize the majority of Americans through inspiration and being a real alternative.

Posts like this make me wish Bluesky had a downvote option. I have great respect for the journey you have travelled Rep. Jeffries, but the moment we live in calls for so much more from the people we are counting on to lead us out of this madness. Stop blaming the R's and tell us what the D's will do

I do not like criticizing the Dems, but clearly Schumer and senate leadership with some notable exceptions are simply not up to the crisis of this moment. Somehow they think this is still politics as usual, as if it is everyday that a US Senator is accosted and handcuffed by masked officers. Shame.

By consistently putting our personal needs, interests, and preferences before everything else. Do that long enough and you create a Trump. We have a lot of work to do to reclaim our basic humanity.

It is said that there is nothing in life more precious than health. So why is Trump and RFK Jr. so hellbent on cutting the research that might save our lives? There are things we do that are simply not political. Cancer research is on that list. What would you add?

Ditto on Jacob! Just great coverage of a perilous moment.

This is our next step. I am not interested in hating on people who did not vote like me or drive a car I don't like. I don't want to have us lined up on opposite goal lines yelling at each other. It is time to dig in together to give our friends and neighbors a better choice than Trump madness.

This is inspirational folks. A great reminder that people in the US have been fighting for justice for generations. This is just our turn. Our democracy may be threatened but "This land is your land, this land is my land" it is not Trump's land.

Way to show up Honolulu! Truly #NoKings from Maine to Louisiana to Chicago to LA and ending up in heavenly Honolulu.

Super grateful that Shreveport came out for #NoKings. No matter what Trump says more unites Americans than divides us. 47's whole game is to lie to get people angry and turning against each other. All across this country we said "we wont get fooled again". Thanks for posting!

Neither rain nor despair stops the fine people of Freeport, Maine! #NoKings from one side of this beautiful country to other.

Great to see Santa Rosa show up for #NoKings. Every picture tells the story that America is tired of seeing its democracy dismantled by 47 and his aides.

Great you were there. Thanks for sharing the pic. Shout out to all the Santa Rosans who showed up for America today.

Absolutely! We must stand up for Congresswoman McIver and indeed every member of Congress willing to challenge the madness Trump is imposing on our country. Thanks for keeping us focused.

Big thanks for sharing these images. This is everyday people exercising their right to protest injustice. That right is the very core of American democracy. I am proud of the people of LA and of all us who will stand up on June 14 and say we need #NoKings and no autocrats.

H.R.1 - One Big Beautiful Bill Act. But it has been given a lot of other names :-). To me it is just the Steal and Destroy Act.
