It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

This. Also. @aoc.bsky.social @ericswalwell.bsky.social et al , can you do what ever you guys do in the House to let Musk, Trump and everyone know that the UCFE, which funds unemployment benefits , is in the Dept of Labor. If these funds are cut, the cost will fall on the states.

Overheard at my local Foxtail Coffee: “Voting for him [Trump] was the biggest fucking mistake of my life.” No idea what drove him to say that, but whatever it was, I can’t feel much sympathy. So many Trump supporters are fine with other people getting hurt, and only get upset when they’re impacted.

#BuyCanadian So, went grocery shopping at my local FreshCo. Went to grab some cheddar. Guess what? They were sold out of Canadian cheese (all of it) while American cheese languished on the shelves. We are making a difference!

The extreme MAGA Republican budget will close hospitals, shut down nursing homes and deprive children of healthcare. There are 215 Democrats in the House who actually want to love and cherish Medicaid, not destroy it. We only need three House Republicans to join us.

Fact check: nearly 70 percent of US money for Ukraine actually went to US defense industry to replenish the stocks of OLD stuff that went to Ukraine to use. Much of which we would have paid to destroy as their lifespan expired.
