Is prefer we work on helping them get their jobs reinstated or helping them win a lawsuit or settlement.

Dear friends, I need your support! ❄️🛵
Getting around in the winter as a paraplegic is a daily struggle, but an enclosed mobility scooter would be life-changing—giving me the freedom and independence I desperately need. Please consider donating or sharing my GoFundMe🙏✨🔗 https://gofund.me/0af928df

There will never be free elections. This presents a very real problem.

Predictive policing 🎯= algorithmic genocide 💀. From Wounded Knee to digital nooses 🖥️, Artificial Intelligence's Council of Trent is a panopticon of oppression. AI's silent inquisition rewrites human rules🌀. Machines judge & execute bias into code.

Donald Trump signed a bunch of executive orders rolling back abortion protections in the middle of the night, hoping that no one would notice.

This is — and always has been — about controlling women.

This is a Coup d'état *

This is Christian fundamentalists

White nationalists Fascism *

I'm running to be a battalion commander in whatever militia forms in case all other options fail.

davidjohnurban.bsky.social•5 days ago

Winning elections is the only way out of this mess. That means having good candidates dedicated to helping people. We can do this.

jclf.bsky.social•5 days ago

My concern is they’ve already tampered with all of the voting software …so how do we win anything again if they meddle and no one’s doing anything to stop it?

msc98.bsky.social•5 days ago

This IS WONDERFUL !!!!!!
New attitudes and new blood of some intelligent caring everyday "We The People" who WANT to learn rules of gov't ARE NEEDED to replace what's GOING ON to SERIOUSLY and INTENTLY get back to the peoples business 🥳🇺🇸👣🫵🏽😌🧠⚖️🗣💯🫱🏻‍🫲🏾🗽🫂📃✊🏾😇☮️🤜🏾🤛🏻

I did five years on my NYC coop board. Learned what "Rosemary's Baby" was really about. But #runforsomething is the solution. Republikans played the long game of seizing gubmint control from the bottom up.

Clever… great initiative

We could call them

tbirdlady67.bsky.social•5 days ago

The Hatch Act prohibits federal employees from running for partisan office. I don't think they can run until the status of their federal employment is decided.

Blue States should consider creating these departments within their state and hire these professionals.

tjcash.bsky.social•6 days ago

This is awesome. How perfect for those public servants who just wanted to do their jobs. 👍

Where are all the Democrats? Where is vice president Harris? Where are all those strong Democratic women with the big voice. They have gone silent and still.

Let’s at least ask them who they voted for first

darlamae.bsky.social•6 days ago

I’d vote for you Joyce.

julie-peyton.bsky.social•5 days ago

GREAT idea.

sunflowerroot1.bsky.social•5 days ago

One thought about Run for Something, I personally shared interest a few years ago, to find out I exceeded the age limit for candidates they wished to support. Wish this could be reconsidered. As experience is crucial as well. They seek “young progressives”.

4afavs.bsky.social•5 days ago

Can I ask what the age limit was because that’s very disheartening? I mean I get that they want younger people involved but I’m a genx progressive ready to kick some butt! And I’m tired of being shut out of the process by older AND younger generations.

sunflowerroot1.bsky.social•3 days ago

Honestly, I need to try and find the old communique, my gut tells me, the info responded looking to support those interested in candidacy 35 years and younger, but I owe diligence to see if any reconsideration has been given.

kjustin1966.bsky.social•6 days ago

By the time these brave folks run for something, our country and free elections could be gone. Please help us NOW as we little guy citizens take to the street by amplifying our Feb 17 National Day of Protest. The moment is NOW. https://www.npr.org/2025/02/16/nx-s1-5297117/50501-movement-presidents-day-protests-explainer

Brilliant

quickpick.bsky.social•5 days ago

Fantastic idea!!

cookncolorado.bsky.social•5 days ago

This odd year means that many City and County council seats are available. And in our County, and others, ranked choice voting is the way that we will fill these vacancies. So, you may not need to run in a primary.

You first!

Educators are likewise concerned about various oppressive fear tactics that do not bode well for the students and families in our communities should also consider running for office.

spydoggy.bsky.social•5 days ago

Protest, also.

emailcatj.bsky.social•5 days ago

saw a post yesterday or earlier today about 2 FLORIDA seats up for election in a month or so....
the post said these seats could be what flips the Federal House Blue

sparkzebra.bsky.social•5 days ago

One of the causes of the downfall
Of democracy is the toxicity
Of the campaigning
Death threats
Good decent conscientious people
Steer clear for their sanity
Politics has always attracted the very people that abuse power
I.e. Narcissists looking for a free lunch all expenses paid
Pension health etc

stillmovingalong.bsky.social•5 days ago

In the mid-terms I'll look for & seriously consider casting my vote for a terminated federal employee, IG, prosecutor, USAID, NIH whatever -how I would enjoy electing you! How sweet that pleasure would be!

This is a GREAT idea. Retribution for all. Seriously though, do it.

cowgirl52.bsky.social•6 days ago

Ok. Well, my maga host is about to evict me. I didn't move here for this! As a veteran, this is 3 times now in 5 years! So I guess I will run!

angelakmarx.bsky.social•5 days ago

I've been trying to get one of my sisters to #RunForSomething for years.

She may be leaving her Federal employee career of over 25 yrs, at the DOE, quite soon.

County Commissioner sounds like a good new career 1st step. Right?
