Democratic leaders must stop bringing pillows to a knife fight. Do not compromise, find common ground, or reach across the aisle. Bipartisanship doesn't work with fascists. Fight them as hard as you can. Sign the petition.

The GOP had a well-defined agenda, Project 2025. They have been cramming it down our throats for years now while we have sat on our hands. Now we must do the same thing to them. Have a plan and not some center/right bs so that it easier to sell, but a real plan for the country we want.

Do you, perchance, have a first draft of such a plan document?

And there's a good chance that Abigail Spanberger will win back the VA governor's office in 2025's off-year election.

dickritchie.bsky.social•70 days ago

A better than good chance!

applehearted.bsky.social•70 days ago

She's got my vote!

Thank you, Rachel!!!! I really needed some good news today. Did you see the Russian headline translation praising Trump because he’ll dismantle our government for them?
