Gov. Mills showed precisely the sort of integrity in the face of political pressure that the majority of the party currently lacks. More importantly, she did so extemporaneously and without hesitation from a purple state where this isn't a universally popular position. www.maine.gov/governor/mil...

Democrats you want to do something? Sign up to be a poll worker for the April Election. Every polling place needs democrats; rural, urban, suburban. Contact your local election authority, or county clerks office & request to sign up for training. Plan now to take off work. #DemocracyNotDictatorship

AP could have been cowardly and rolled over for Trump. “We had to comply or we’d lose [funding/access/privileges]” like so many orgs are doing. It would have been easy for them to say “gulf of America” But it never stops there. They got the memo. Good job AP.

I’ll keep pushing this line of analysis because I’m increasingly convinced the clearest path out of this mess is for Dems to adopt a relentless anti-corruption, anti-inequality, anti-oligarchy, pro-democracy platform. The Dem leadership hasn’t realized it yet, but they’re now a reform party.

NOW is the time to show up for trans folks. The erasure will not stop with us.

“We had to erase trans people or we couldn’t get our federal funding” Fuck the federal funding. You fight, you sue, you do not become complicit in our mass erasure. We are all in this together, and we all go down together. I will not allow us to be jettisoned or erased.

Just so we’re clear: There is no serious case against birthright citizenship. The EO is unjust and unconstitutional. Those who claim otherwise are wrong, and law professors who are doing so are behaving irresponsibly.

Even if you’re not a Florida voter, this election affects you. A loss for MAGA Republicans in FL-01 means: • A weaker F47 agenda • Stronger protections for democracy, voting rights, & civil liberties • A step toward taking back the House in 2024 #Valimont4Congress www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

The notion that Trump's "I'm king" tweet is "just trolling" or "a joke" presents an opportunity to recreate my just-joking thread (porting it over from the Bad Place): 1. I wrote my PhD dissertation on the social function of humor (in literature & film) and here's the thing about "just joking."

“In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends." As the foundation of #democracy in America crumbles and the vulnerable are under attack from a rogue administration, we, the people, are asking our former presidents to "Say something!”

Senate Democrats have the power to block federal contracts to Tesla and SpaceX. It’s the path to pushing Musk out of politics.
