This is proof that things CAN be done if people are persistent in their efforts.

Minorities listen-lets band together and fix this! we need to make it better now!Before the suppression was about superiority.they are afraid as your superiority is in full view.They are lashing out of fear you can surpass them! Understand the difference! this moment everyone is feeling unmoored!

Yes. I was searching black farmers and florists to support! We've heard of a month of Sundays? This is going to be 4 years of Feb.28ths for me!

I am glad they did this but it’s a distraction because we are not gaining any ground just getting back to “normal” these are tactics that they use to take up time, Dems need to divide and conquer - we need to find out what is happening behind closed doors

hrryan.bsky.social•1 day ago

This is not a "distraction". And the problem is not the Dems.

cisco13.bsky.social•1 day ago

Hmm they are always playing catchup like the last 4 years and won’t listen to the new generation of leaders that are in the party like Pete B and Ocasio-Cortez

hrryan.bsky.social•1 day ago

What are Pete and AOC saying that the Dems aren't listening to?

But why should we have to beg for carveouts and exceptions for money that we, the taxpayers, have allowed to be spent via our elected reps?

We are already in a monarchy, begging favors from the king. Fuck this shit. Uprising is long overdue

hrryan.bsky.social•1 day ago

You first.

Got that MAGAts? A dem helped get funds, which will in turn help the TN economy.

Someone tell Zelenskyy not to give in to Trump! Just giving an insane guy more power!

The medias touch podcast (or maybe legal AF, can’t remember) shared an article from a reporter in Kiev that basically said that this is another one of those “deals” that isn’t really a deal. That made me feel slightly better about the whole thing.

Disgraceful display of weak people trying to oppress others to make themselves look better. They all need serious psychiatric help while behind bars for treason.

A Democrat for a Red State. Tennessee, please remember that when you vote next. In 2024 you voted 2 million to 1.1 million for Trump. What has Trump done for you? Make you sick, poor, jobless, unhealthy. Tennessee is one of 37 states that gets more money from fed gov't coffers than they send.

He's going to try to put tariffs on TN tomorrow. And then get grumpy like a toddler when his people explain why it can't be done.

wtf

I wouldn’t count on it until the checks are in hand.

Has anyone at the Hollar looked into why Knoxville College was allowed to molder away til it burned down?
I have always wondered

stanzman.bsky.social•1 day ago

Don't believe anything you hear out of the government it's all propaganda

kathleengordon.bsky.social•1 day ago

Great. But we need to stop compliance with this nonsense in the first place. Learn again to use the words “I refuse”

carlwagner88.bsky.social•1 day ago

urgently needed!
especially in 'R' governed States

But his constituents are really frustrated because he’s not voting, voting with Rs and not communicating. They aren’t feeling seen, heard or represented. People are terrified and no Ds are explaining how they are fighting (if they are). People want to see fire not business as usual work arounds.

Rumor is that Kemp is planning to challenge him for his seat; Burt Jones, Raffensberger, & the illiterate Chris Carr plan for a governor primary race. Ossoff would do well to promote the across-the-aisle crime victim funding act he’s co-sponsoring & speak on Trump budget impacts in GA.

blueintheheartland.bsky.social•1 day ago

That’s not good for dems!!

margolovesalatte.bsky.social•1 day ago

Maybe? A lot of Republicans don’t love Kemp’s Trump 2020 thing. For all the flak Ossoff has gotten for the Laken Riley Act, he may can curry some of that into moderates/Never Trumpers. Dems won’t vote for Kemp either way, so Ossoff may as well try to extend his tent. He’ll need more than just Dems!

It would be nice if the "other lawmakers" would be named in the headline.

julstrangepork.bsky.social•1 day ago

He should show up to vote. He ranks 2nd place against Fetterman.

rembrandt77.bsky.social•1 day ago

I can see him running for President in 2028

This is America now. Begging hat in hand to the felon usurper for help restoring scholarships for HBCU which has been educating people for over a century.
