All Democratic governors should use their State of the State addresses in this way. Nicely done, @govpritzker.illinois.gov .

If she has, I'm not seeing anything about it.
An updated iteration of the "know nothing" movement.
Barely a handful.

Let me know if you think I'm missing anybody.
She's fabulous.
Definitely deserves a bigger platform.
Good one.
Thank you.
Would love to hit 10 politicians we can actually respect.
Thank you.
You are right.
Jasmine Crockett is fabulous.
Thank You.
There seemed like there might be some steam building at the time of the congressional protest outside USAID on Feb 3 but that petered out.

Thank you.
Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, RI.
Thank you.
Our list is growing.
I am encouraged.
We have warriors out there.
Schiff is lazy.
Unfortunately he's one of California's two senators.
Both useless.
He could not be bothered to have his phone numbers set up until maybe a week ago.
He only reports the news everyone already knows.
Massive disappointment.
I have been stunned by the silence of the Obamas, Harris, the Clintons (Hillary has spoken out a bit)
I've even wondered if they have left the country.
It's awful after they took everyone's money all of last year 'to win the election.'
All Democrats with a big platform must speak out as forcefully as they did at last summer's convention.
Crockett I already knew about and agree she is a firebrand, along with Raskin. Terrific choices.
Frost and Presley (not on BlueSky) make the cut.
Swalwell is one to watch. Not there yet.
Thank you for these suggestions, J.
Much appreciated.
Great job, J.
Looks like we might end up with a couple dozen serious Nazi fighters to work with.
Thank You (-:

Thank you.
Adding her to the list.
She is amazing.
Thank you.
We need 1000 more Jasmines.
Thank you for pointing out @seancasten.bsky.social
I had a look at his account and you are right.
He is talking the talk.
We're up to six now.
Well done, my friend.
Can we get to ten?
Loads of people mentioning @raskin.house.gov
He is proving very popular.
Thank you.
Good ones.
Thank you.

I never heard of him before and he is in the Golden State.
I'm in the north, he's in the south, but Yippee!
Happy he is working for our team.
Thank you.

My list likes your list.
We can merge and keep going.
Lots of people are mentioning Murphy.
Kaine I've heard mixed reviews about, but will have a look at his time line.
It would be great to a list of the politicians who are fighting back every day.
They are not in California.
Lived in Montclair for a couple of years.
Agree.
Very disappointed in the politicians there.
We'll create a list of the warriors fighting back and keep posting it and growing it.
Lots of good suggestions coming in.
Thank you, J.
Anyone voting in a single Nazi are not the patriots required for the job.
Sorry to hear.
Would love to hit 10 politicians we can actually respect.

Nearly everyone loves Tim, right?
@govpritzker.illinois.gov though has turned out to be quite extraordinary.
Pritzker is by far the best governor in America from my observation.
Walz is up there too.
And Gretchen Whitmer.
Gavin Newsom, our governor in California, is always disappointing. Especially lately.
Would love to hit 10 politicians we can actually respect.

More of that, please.
You are so right.
I want millions of us to break down the doors and take back our country.
Meanwhile your three politicians are great. Thank you. Definitely adding them to the list.
Lot of people mentioning them.
He is impressive.
Sorely disappointed in Newsom; Whitmer; Walt; et al.
Newsom taunted Trump for four years, then when it mattered he shut up.
I appreciate your opinion.
I do not think the Nazis in the White House will give us the money no matter how nice we are.
They hate California.
Trump is a massive grudge holder.
Newsom taunted him for years.
He will punish the Golden State.
Big time.
We are all in an impossible situation.
And California is a very big target for the terrorists in the White House.
I'd say need coffee, but too late for that ...
Newsom too, after taunting Trump for years.
Thank you for the introduction.
I applaud you on your well-curated timeline.
The message "I'll do it again if you don't shut up" was not lost.
She either has to strap on some iron tits or we need to trade up.
"Richard Hofstadter to the barricades"
whatever comes next can't (and won't) be status quo ante
credible deterrence and popular support are going to matter a lot
good on Pritzker for framing this struggle
BUT, California has the 5th largest economy in the world.
We are our own country financially. We don't have to be silent. We can keep our money and pay for the fires ourselves.
We cannot allow the fires to silence us.
And that is what Newsom is doing.
It's like nothing else matters.
@govmaurahealey.bsky.social to do similarly.
