Time is Running Out! To vote in ADEM elections, you must register by TOMORROW (Friday, 1/31/25 at NOON) ADEM Delegates are elected reps who attend CA Dem Party conventions & vote on endorsements & party platform Register to vote: www.ademelections.com View candidates: adem.cadem.org/candidates/

If you havenā€™t sent letters to your Senators telling them to oppose Pam Bondi, now is the perfect time to do so!

UPDATE: The bill passed the House but make sure it doesnā€™t pass the Senate! Demand your Senators reject this bill and deny the Trump administration new powers to silence their opposition.

This is one helluva time to be a survivor. BTW, snarky jokes about rape and SA only perpetuate rape culture.

I do not understand the ā€œlet them hoist by their own petardā€ folks. What makes you think it will work now when it just barely had an impact on the 2020 race? And think of all the collateral damage. The exhaustion and feelings of futility are valid, but itā€™s not a successful strategy. WE MUST RESIST

I still think the Garth report should be released! Donā€™t let him play the martyr! #EndRapeCulture

Leak the report. Pass it on.

Our local YMCA Silicon Valley has an effort called Project Cornerstone that fosters the qualities, relationships and experiences to help kids thrive. This is their #UPstander pledge. It seems particularly appropriate today. Please take this pledge and repost with ā€œI am an #UPstanderā€

They are installing sexual predators at the highest levels and trying to distract you with this bigoted BS. They prey on the vulnerable because they are bullies. I will not look away. #Upstander

Bluesky tip for newbies: Bluesky has no real algorithm. Likes here do nothing but show the poster that you enjoyed their content. That kindness is always going to be appreciated by creators, but if you want to help to boost something here, you have to repost it so others see it. šŸ™‚

Please, more of this approachā€¦ we desperately need a framework for resistance that goes beyond calls to reps and fundraising clickbait.

Anyone else having trouble creating a Starter Pack? Keep getting a failed message and Iā€™m trying to connect our activism groups!! What am I doing wrong?

Letā€™s get to workā€¦ Never made calls before? Donā€™t fear, itā€™s easy. Typically, U just talk to a staffer who records your point. Keep it short & respectful. It helps the reps negotiate & substantiate with colleagues and the press. Make the calls & ask 3 friends to do so too!

After scrolling Bluesky and seeing lots of wit and snark and fear and complaints, this is the only action item Iā€™ve seen. Even if itā€™s just data mining, I want to do SOMETHING so badly (and Iā€™m already on that Common Cause list anyway).

Exactly!

We're going to take over this place the same way we took over threads: by building up all of you First, hit the like button, reply with #NoDemUnder1k, and most importantly, hit the REPOST button. Then follow each other back. The easiest way to do so is to follow everyone who reposts. Here's how:

This is terrifying, all too possible, and only the beginning. No amount of snarky posts, OpEds, postcards, phone calls or witty protest signs is going to stop this. WHAT ARE OUR CURRENT ELECTEDS GOING TO DO *RIGHT NOW* TO STOP THE COLLAPSE OF THE US GOVERNMENT?

Today is a difficult day for survivors. So many emotions.

Thank you! This kind of feedback is SO important for people to hearā€”especially those new to activism. @aoc.bsky.social Please keep it coming so we can amplify!!

The U.S. Senate race in Pennsylvania is too close to call ā€“ but Republicans are trying to stop the count and claim victory prematurely. Join the Social Storm Wednesday at 1 ET to ensure that every vote is counted! This toolkit will populate when we launch! social.demcast.com/s/IP03XVJT

Cool!

Yup

Just a little note for my fellow newbiesā€¦ It is helpful to add a little something to your profile and make a post so potential followers (and follow-backs) know you are a friendly. Especially when handles are cryptic.

Ok, itā€™s not a perfect metaphor, but I feel like we are playing the most consequential game of poker with a guy who has lots of cards up his sleeve and we are afraid to count the cards. Delay & Detract should start with every legal means possible to challenge the election results.

Nothing more depressing than the H/W campaign Discord going on ā€œread-onlyā€. šŸ˜¢.
