Major 🔑

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.

Ruthkanda forever

“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 know how important Medicaid is to the livelihood of Americans and we will not let House Republicans destroy it.” Fixed it for you

💯💯💯💯💯💯

Facts 💯

If the Democratic leadership is conceding one-party rule, then the progressive wing of the party needs to step up and take the reins. We've had 33 long years of neoliberalism in the party. Time to try something else. The modern GOP is not interested in bipartisanship. Time to move on.

This is a just a bit, there are many good Dems out there that I trust and support. It’s just frustrating to see a team that in many ways reminds me Arthur Smith running the Falcons

It’s simple, we cancel the Dems

Twitter ads are truly deranged. Why do they all have to look like the ads on the side of every website in the early 2000s. Vacant looking people on white backgrounds with text for a business less legitimate than Saul Goodman and games that will DEFINITELY steal my info.

I don't think that my parents, because they're on Social Security, are parasites. I don't think my neighbor who is on Medicaid is a parasite. I need Republicans to get right with themselves.

you don't get to spend your entire career feeding and raising vipers and then all of a sudden go 'oh noooo someone might get bit'

darkknightjokermeme.jpg It’s simple. We primary the Dems

The cruelty is the point

Gameplaying "Dem Congresspeople force themselves into a federal building this week" They'd get arrested. Not necessarily bad. Would help to galvanize the Dem base SOMEWHAT… but we have short attention spans. GOP would cry "Jan 6" and "insurrection". Dishonest ofc, but energizes their base too.

The fix is in

I think a major 🔑 to combating misinformation online will be educating people to be more critical in the accounts they engage with - in short, don’t feed the trolls. Amplification of bad actors whether through arguments or quote replies seems counterproductive.

In response to a post on X from @maxwellfrost.bsky.social showing the effort to get into the Department of Education building this morning, Elon Musk replied, "No such department exists in the federal government"

As we think about electoral strategies, I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to keep state houses out of GOP hands, especially as they clearly are thinking about making changes to the constitution

Some underestimate how captured the current MSM is which means decreased information power for regular people. I think they also overestimate how "galvanized" to action USians would be if members of Congress start getting arrested. More likely to be treated like reality TV.

Someone finally put it into words

There is a strong case to be made that (almost) all literacy is liberatory (shout out to Dr. Kim Parker's brilliant book). Certainly in the Black tradition, literacy and liberation are intertwined. And that includes reading and writing along with direct action.

"You can't post your way to liberation!" But writing/storytelling/oratory and the arts have always been part of every freedom movement... Digital writing and art is STILL writing and art. Any other take is just silly.

More than 1 in 5 people are jailed multiple times a year There is no "safe" way to jail a person – even a single day in jail has devastating effects. And people who are jailed multiple times a year inevitably face exacerbated consequences of incarceration:

1. I keep saying this, but it’s important to try to slow things down. It’s something that the Democrats really don’t get. You can win a war by losing every battle slowly.

We were just told that they won’t let us in. They are denying entry to 2 dozen members of Congress. Elon Musk has all our private information & we have no idea what he’s doing with it. This is happening completely behind closed doors. HELL NO. It’s illegal. We demand oversight!

We are members of Congress at the Treasury Department. We want to be let in to provide oversight on behalf of our constituents. @jasmineforus.bsky.social @sethmagaziner.bsky.social

Crockett: I am tired of the white tears. When you compare me to Marjorie Taylor Greene or me to Lauren Boebert, there is no comparison. So the only people that are crying are the mediocre white boys that have been beaten out by people that historically have had to work so, so much harder

@heartlandsignal.bsky.social please repost the comments from Sen. Erin Maye Quade to @bsky.app as well!

@indivisible.org @ezralevin.bsky.social @leahgreenberg.bsky.social please develop an approach that does not require us to provide our PII (personal identifiable information) to contact our Reps in Congress. This is a massive blocker for many, myself included, from being able to participate

“This is how the oligarchs, the billionaires, the fascists and people like Trump keep us down.” “Stop looking around for a person to blame and look up.” Thank you again to progressive champion Rep. @maxwellfrost.bsky.social for joining our action call with @moveon.org and @workingfamilies.org.

when history books write the story of this moment, this is how the democratic party will show up.

YET ANOTHER STUDY shows that a tiny number of children are diagnosed with gender dysphoria and an even tinier fraction receive puberty blockers or hormones. Anyone still pretending there is a "debate" about this is willfully ignoring all of the available data. gidmk.substack.com/p/gender-dys...

1/4 in the championship round which is why I stick to fantasy rather instead of gambling. Plus all I want is the conspiracy pick to hit so I can know we’re in the simulation

Touch grass my guy. People are just trying to survive and you’re out here calling people lazy 🤡

If you're doing life well, you'll always be in a process of learning and unlearning.

All of the people yelling “the democrats should’ve codified the 1965 civil rights executive order 11246” are missing that Nixon did, in 1972. Trump is repealing settled law in his executive orders so that there will be lawsuits so the Supreme Court will make it the new precedent. Read a book.

Biden’s pardons on the way out are giving Titanic lifeboats energy

I’m sorry but this is such a bad look - you can’t say “fight back” and take the goodie bag after the party 🤣🤣🤣
