#NoKings from Chico, CA. This is CD 1 aka Red California. They said upwards of 6,000 showed up today.

Nazi shit. Fascist shit.

When people are all, “but what should democrats be saying?” This. This is what democrats should be saying…

#2024wasrigged #Kamalawon

Simple, easy messaging right here.

Nazi shit

Wild animal day at school today. I got a kiss from a capybara. #teacherappreciationweek

Authoritarian shit

Crockett: Instead of the President cosplaying as the next pope, he may want to cosplay as an actual President of these United States. That means he may have to do a little bit of research and understand that he swore a an oath to defend and protect the constitution.

Immigration is a “crime” just as smoking pot is a “crime.” We are a nation built on immigration. We wouldn’t have a country without immigrants (most of whom were forced to come here). We shouldn’t be afraid of this topic. It is inherent to our country’s origin #talkaboutit #Truth #abolishICE

Teams be acting like Shedeur Sanders is going to kneel for the Nation Anthem or something. #NFLisstillrascist

They’re making a list Checkin’ it twice. Gonna Find you and d’port ya By ICE. Fascist thugs are comin’ To town.

If this Fascist administration can ignore court mandated orders to bring home wrongfully imprisoned humans, then I for sure don’t have to pay my parking ticket. #thisislifenow

The Pitt > White Lotus. #yeahIsaidit

More resistance from Chico in red Butte County, CA #handsoff #thisiswhatdemocracylookslike

The resistence from Chico, CA. The is Red California, not a blue part of the state. #handsoff

To recap the three longest filibusters on the senate floor: 3) Ted Cruz filibusters against giving poor people healthcare 2) Strom Thurman filibusters against giving black people rights and equality 1) Cory Booker filibusters against fascism How do we keep losing elections people?

He’s heaven’s huckleberry now.

It amazing how in 5 months Bluesky has gone from being mostly porn bots to a resistance platform for progressives to let’s all bash the Democrats. #nothelping #blamethegop #fuckfascism

Dems should absolutely vote no on the CR until they get concessions that the GOP abide by their constitutional duty as a co-equal branch of government. The people are with them here. The problem is the media will blame the Dems for creating a government shut down. #standwiththepeople

So I’m assuming the name of Gavin Newsom’s podcast is “I Don’t Want To Be President”

This is just your daily reminder that most of the leaders during the Civil Rights Era were not elected Democrats. It was MLK, Rosa Parks, Malcom X, John Lewis, Barnard Rustin, etc., and many, activists and regular folk that led the resistance and gained rights for millions of people.

Truth!

I’m finding out that @slotkin.senate.gov is single. I am all here for it and for her. Holler at me, Senator. There is nothing sexier than a strong, beautiful, powerful, independent woman unafraid to speak her mind. I’ll move to Michigan and/or DC for you. #seriouslyDMmeSenator

Look, I get the criticisms of the Dems, I do. But there were a bunch of Dems in the 1950s-60s that were CRITICAL of the Civil Rights’ protests as making too much of a ruckus back then. The blame lies strictly on the other side capitulating their congressional duty as a co-equal branch. That should

Elissa Slotkin is the epitome of a cool, fine, and intelligent woman. #areyousinglesenator #DMme

Y’all missing Joe Biden yet?

My theory about what happened yesterday: Trump shit him pants and Vance knew he had to get him out of there so he started spewing crazy shit to end the meeting. #presidentpoopedhimself #ourincontinentpresident #vpofwiping

I’m gonna keep saying it until I sound looney, but they STOLE this election. People want Social Security and Medicaid. Kamala ran on protecting them. The fascists ran on everything they’re doing (project 2025). The circle does not square here. #2024wasstolen #stopproject2025 #endfascism

I don’t care how crazy I sound, if those fascists on the right can spout crazy without repercussions, so can I. My claim: the 2024 election was STOLEN. There is no way people voted for this shit and the energy from Kamala’s campaign does not match the tepid voting output. They STOLE this shit.

And they say the Democratic party is leaderless. That’s all bull honkey.

For everyone that argues the Fems aren’t do anything to stop Elon and Trump and all the other fascists, it is because we’ve had no power. We can flip the house as early as April and then actually have congressional oversight and a legislative branch. Check out Josh for FL-06.
