Free messaging & marketing advice for the Dems: instead on attending the state of the union ALL of you should bail, collectively. Instead of attending, each of you hold an IRL or virtual town hall, hearing constituent concerns and showcasing people affected by doge layoffs. Collectively stream all

As someone who spends a lot time thinking about the values I want to teach my kid (besides PLEASE DON’T EAT DIRT), the thing I keep coming back to is this: I want him to believe that the strongest, bravest thing he can do is give a shit about other people—especially ones who aren’t like him at all.

It’s funny bc at old Twitter we sold over $6 bil in ads just bc our sales team was best in class. This is honestly so embarrassing. 🤷🏻‍♀️

you don’t need the press corps anymore — just pull out your phone. AOC did a livestream that spurred THOUSANDS of calls to congress. the msm wants drama? give it to them. like right now dems should have a fucking PARADE of fired federal workers out there putting a face on all this.

Stoked to be on a plane when an unknown number of FAA employees were just fired. Feels good.

We got a Costco membership for the first time in our lives today. They asked why & I said because treat your workers well, you value diversity, & you didn’t cave in to authoritarian demands. He said: “We’ve been getting lots of folks saying that, thanks for joining.” Who needs a gallon of ketchup?

I know everyone is coming up with helpful comms suggestions for Dems. But I would love a town hall with recently laid off government employees, explaining their function & consequence of their absence. Get @jasmineforus.bsky.social @repstansbury.bsky.social to host.

The other crazy thing about this is that it shows that Musk and his entourage THINK THAT WHAT HE DID AT TWITTER ACTUALLY WORKED and was a good plan. The levels of delusion are fairly stunning.

I think an American flag created entirely by black men at the Superbowl is one of the best pieces of art I've seen in my lifetime. I hope it actually killed some folks. And I hope it finally closes the fucking book on the argument that we shouldn't use the flag to fight the God damned fascists.

I guess it’s poetic that the guy who invented Twitter has the most poorly aged Tweet of all time. IMHO Jack doesn’t get nearly enough blame for his role in getting us here.

Joined and went to Costco this weekend to put my money where my mouth is, and support a company with good values. Apparently every other liberal in the north Bay did too. Extremely overstimulating! But I bet they cleaned up this Super Bowl weekend.

NCMEC isn't just about missing kids, they run a hash sharing platform so social media companies can share hashes of child sexual abuse materials (CSAM) and do proactive take downs of content once it's been identified. Defunding NCMEC will encourage the spread of CSAM online. Evil, evil shit.

This week, @wired.com has gotten a lot of love on this here app. (Thank you!!) But I don’t think I can overstate what a force @bsky.app has become in influencing the entire media ecosystem. So refreshing to have a platform that isn’t actively hostile to hard news.

I’m just imagining what Republicans would do if an unelected George Soros took control of the Federal Government and had access to everyone’s social security and I’m really wondering why Democrats can’t muster a fraction of that freakout and messaging.

Democratic leaders: imagine what Republicans would do if a Dem president let an unelected George Soros seize complete control of the federal government. The mock 10 level freak out, messaging everywhere etc. that’s what you need to be doing right now!

Frustrated there's not more I can do directly, but for now I can just try to document reality. Elon is bringing his Twitter destruction playbook to the US government, and it's impossible to explain just how serious and bad this is. www.techdirt.com/2025/01/31/e...

I don’t care if Ken Martin was your pick or not, set him up for success. Democrats lose bc we push for perfection in our leaders and kill them with a thousand cuts on the way. This is what the far left did w Kamala and we’re all paying the price now. Help him be successful. We need a plan now.

Every former Twitter employee I know is getting panicked calls from federal government employee friends asking for guidance on what to expect. It’s very hard and sad to have to them to expect incompetence, cruelty and the worst.

Today’s messaging tips for Democrats: DO NOT respond to this dumb DEI claim. It is disgusting yes, but by repeating it you continue to put it out into the ether and the dodos think it’s true. Trump and Elon gutted the federal government — including the FAA. Their incompetence is killing Americans

If a Democrat fired 100 FAA employees and put a freeze on hiring air traffic controllers 8 days before an airport plane crash, there would be a right-wing and media frenzy for weeks.
