Why can’t we organize and produce commercials to explain what due process is and why it’s important?

I’ve stopped donating to ActBlue, but willing to donate for oppositional, fact-based, simple media campaigns - on all platforms. . . and HURRY!

You do amazing work getting people registered. But we need serious action on election integrity. They are doing all they can to take voting rights away from a wide swath of people. And we need protections for counting votes. Help mobilize these efforts.

"i think there's a lot of discontent with uhhhhhhhhhh, the Democrat leadership, and, um, the Democratic Party" - literally Bernie Sanders last night on CNN when asked about Democratic Discontent

WTF! Bernie has fallen :(

what’s happening in these town hall meetings across the country is extraordinary that the vast majority of Americans are turning out to say they want their government back from the cabinet of billionaires+Musk+Trump

Pete Aguilar lays the blame of Democrats' low poll numbers at the feet of the economic anxiety felt by most Americans who are not millionaires or billionaires or unelected billionaires like Mr Musk

LOCK TRUMP UP!

anwarovic.bsky.social•17 days ago

First they came for the liver specialist...Call your representatives and ask them what they are doing to stop this lawlessness? How are they stopping Trump’s march to dictatorship? How are they going to make the President follow the law?

anwarovic.bsky.social•17 days ago

Donald Trump is attacking the United States more effectively than Al Qaeda ever could

@aoc.bsky.social @adamkinzinger.bsky.social @cameronkasky.bsky.social

6 months from now when Trump goes full authoritarian and we slide into irrelevance, i don't want that to happen, i don't want us to look back and regret not having fought harder

anwarovic.bsky.social•18 days ago

"the polling shows that we need to fight Trump harder" - Chris Murphy

and smarter!

anwarovic.bsky.social•18 days ago

DEAR BETO,

IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE GUTS TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT RIGHT NOW TO BEGIN THE DEMISE OF MAGA REPUBLICANS UNDER EMPEROR TRUMP, THEN GET THE HELL OUT OF POLITICS, FIND ANOTHER JOB!

anwarovic.bsky.social•18 days ago

Chris Murphy thinks the Dems should've "boycotted" Trump's address to Congress. i wonder what's Beto's take?

anwarovic.bsky.social•18 days ago

we need to be more action-oriented. Schumer is all talk, no action. AOC and Beto are all action combined with truth-to-power-talk

anwarovic.bsky.social•18 days ago

through the combination of message discipline and disciplined action, we can transform the equation

discipline! discipline! discipline!

anwarovic.bsky.social•18 days ago

we need to break up Democrats into two factions: one for direct action and protesting Trump, and the other for proposing policies to make Americans' lives better, and voter registration

anwarovic.bsky.social•18 days ago

your comments exude ministerial dignity, even when you said "shitty"

anwarovic.bsky.social•18 days ago

impressive. well-spoken!

Labor Day 2025 is Beto's D-Day, his Waterloo, his checkmate. either he runs for president, or me and my friends will vote for someone else. and i'm from the swing state of New Hampshire

anwarovic.bsky.social•18 days ago

HERE'S WHAT WE REALLY NEED TO DO, MY FRIENDS: WE NEED TO BREAK TRUMP'S UNJUST LAWS! TRUMP HAS CEASED TO FOLLOW THE LAW, SO WE MUST BREAK IT! EVERYTHING YOU SAY TO ME LEAVES ME ONE STEP CLOSER TO THE EDGE AND I'M ABOUT TO BREAK!

anwarovic.bsky.social•18 days ago

sir may i recommend to you, given your charisma and debonair wit, you are the only hope for Democrats in 2028 to run for president, and i believe JD Vance would fall at your feet, and America will then worship them

anwarovic.bsky.social•18 days ago

here's someone doing something, Chris Pappas is running for Senate, and you should think about endorsing him!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q34vo6opw-k

katherineintx.bsky.social•18 days ago

Pappas has not said he's running, though?

anwarovic.bsky.social•18 days ago

he is running and he will be also president of the united states after Beto finishes his 2nd term in 2033. and i will be the First Gentleman, as Pappas will marry me after divorcing his current partner. i will be younger than Melania was when she became 1st Dude, i mean Lady! HURRAH! HUZZAH!

james-starr.bsky.social•18 days ago

I already gave up several weeks ago there is absolutely no hope
The Democrats just don't have enough power and even if they did they wouldn't know how to use it if it was right in front of them

overit1971.bsky.social•18 days ago

Thank you.

hippiequaker.bsky.social•18 days ago

I have no intentions of giving up, I do think the Democrats will have to up our game to be more aggressive.
magas do not obey or play by any rules.

jeffmosley81.bsky.social•18 days ago

The Democratic Party give in

rayosunlong.bsky.social•14 days ago

Please Beto, post more here on bluesky. We need your voice.

katherineintx.bsky.social•18 days ago

Thanks Beto! Indivisible's tracker spreadsheet was open so that we could all see which members of Congress were having townhalls; it is now closed. Their page you link to is 12 pages long, about 5500 words, but I don't think it has a link to another tracker spreadsheet? Hope they share it again!

yellowlaces86.bsky.social•17 days ago

Pick up a pitchfork & lead the charge Beto! Dem leaders fuckin suck, the courts don’t have the mechanisms to enforce their verdicts & the strategy of peaceful protest ain’t amounting to jack shit. Anybody got a better strategy than just “don’t despair?” Dems could use some help w/ a new approach.

Can you run again?

demandside.bsky.social•18 days ago

It is going to be a long road, for them, too.
Would be good to sort out this leadership issue in the Senate. It's like the QB throwing the ball in the wrong direction. It's a live ball and every outcome is bad. The worst outcome is to leave the QB in the game.

demandside.bsky.social•18 days ago

PS: Good to see you on BlueSky

secretwanderer.bsky.social•18 days ago

prathima14.bsky.social•17 days ago

Hi Beto! Thank you for this! Can you get someone good to run for Senate in Texas in 2026? Maybe Jasmine Crockett?

lisaloe.bsky.social•14 days ago

You have no idea how much I needed to read this right now.
🖤🙏🏽

eg4880.bsky.social•17 days ago

The problem is, Beto, that the Democratic leadership already folded. How am I, as a normal person expected to continue resisting when our leaders are not? We need entirely new leadership who is up to this task.

c-more.bsky.social•14 days ago

During the civil rights era, politicians folded many times too. As much credit as I think JFK, RFK (not his disappointing offspring) & Johnson do deserve for their work/signing of bills, they are not the hero's of civil rights. The PEOPLE are the hero's of civil rights. (con't . . .)

c-more.bsky.social•14 days ago

When politicians backed down, the people on the ground didn't. They kept boycotting buses, they kept sitting at lunch counters, they kept driving into segregated towns. It's up to us to lead politicians, not the other way around-at least not now & even w/ good leaders we shouldn't lose sight of this

eljay49.bsky.social•6 days ago

stephanietx.bsky.social•16 days ago

The Ds in Congress have no power. It's sad, but true. That's exactly WHY we voters have to continue to resist.
