My friend and colleague @pnwpolicyangel.bsky.social is undaunted and a badass. Literally an icon.

Join us next Saturday for a fundraiser for the New Seasons Labor Union! Special guest is labor luminary Eric Blanc, author of the fantastic new book We Are The Union, about the upsurge in labor organizing in America!

I'm going to recount an actual story of me arguing about unanimous consent a year ago with a Senate legislative Director. Words are approximate. "Why don't you guys object to unanimous consent and override Schumer??" "Oh Gabe, you think no one has thought of this before?? This isn't clever."

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.

The student who ripped this sign down did more for trans people than most of our politicians.

It's been so run through pop culture as to seem almost corny, but I need you all to understand with the deepest seriousness available to you that the "First they came for..." thing was to prepare you for this exact moment

The Rule of Goats: "If you fuck goats, even if you claim you're doing it ironically, you're still a goatfucker."

Yeah, the White House official account posted this disgusting mess and the person in charge of eviscerating the entire administrative state without oversight retweeted it giggling like a cartoon supervillain, but somehow we're exaggerating about what's happening and what must be done 🙄

Minimum wage should be enough money that anyone could leave their shitty partner and still live a comfortable life

Republicans are realizing just how much damage these illegal and unconstitutional cuts are doing to their own districts and states. This is what happens when you kowtow to your King instead of standing up for your own Constitutional powers. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

I fear they’re coming for ALL school vaccine mandates next. Including measles, mumps and rubella.

Everyone shut up! The polar bears are having fun 🥺🥺🥺

Democratic Left has a new home! Huge congratulations to the @demsocialists.bsky.social Editorial Board for their new home. Check it out here: democraticleft.dsausa.org

To beat fascism, we need socialism. The Democratic Socialists of America stands with everyone under assault by the Trump administration. We call on everyone ready to fight back to join us and organize for a better world. Read the full statement here: www.dsausa.org/es/statement...

When I stress I bake and knit, so once my craft room is all set up.... everyone I love is getting cute shit and cookies.

Strategists are not our friends, these people are going to kill us

How the fuck do I have imposter syndrome while trying to get my foot in the door of tech but some 26yo Musk fan, with a Great Clips Haircut, is demanding civil servants to justify their jobs?

twitter just removed this design + locked my account for the next 12 hours

82% of their political donations went to Republicans. You guys paid for this

Why the fuck do we live in a world that requires people to have a funeral fundraiser?? How did we fuck this up so bad

Democrats never fail to disappoint

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it. Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice. But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word. They aren’t firing for a reason.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

i keep saying these people hate the american system of government because it is true. “sovereign over the executive branch?” get the fuck outta here. he is a servant of the constitution and those “rogue judges” are doing their jobs!

Live to see them die

I will always love humanity in all of its stubborn determination. There's so much good in people and no one can tell me otherwise

Everyone should be aware of the line that has been crossed in the Trump trans military EO. No longer is this about "evidence," "science" or "protecting kids." Now, explicitly, black and white, it's about trans people being "liars," "dishonorable," "false." It's a big step towards very bad things.

The Democrats funded genocide in Gaza. And the polling showed it was killing their chances of beating Trump. So we did GOTV for them. And we protested Trump’s rallies. And we begged them again and again to change course. And they refused to stop funding genocide… I guess to make a statement.

One of the best things you can do right now is read books. Buy them. Borrow them from the library. Gift them. Read history. Read fiction. Read science writing. Read anything that shows you the world is bigger than what fascists say it is. Read to remember why your resistance matters. 📚💙

Always stand with unions

The fact that my political circles and my causal friend circles are now combining thanks to bluesky is very odd. Anyway, welcome. I am indeed far more unhinged than any of you realized hello. I am indeed just a feral little gremlin

This 3-hour workshop is perfect for any members — beginner to seasoned vet — who want to sharpen their organizing skills. We’ll explore the role of the organizer, key reasons why we organize, and why it’s important to think strategically before we practice some specific tools together.

Fight like hell

Remember where you sit on the chopping block. Remember to fight for those closer to the knife than you
