By the way, this is one of the issues where you might be able to make some headway with GOP reps if you live in a rural district. It has always been the heavily red rural districts that stopped them from destroying USPS in the past. Reps know their constituents depend on USPS.

A federal “stop work” order came as a blow to three local resettlement groups: Hello Neighbor, AJAPO, and Jewish Family and Community Services of Pittsburgh. They provide a range of support that help refugees with the essentials of a new life here, including obtaining IDs and finding housing.

House Dems and Senators need to pay attention at the anger of expressed at GOP town halls. They need to pay attention to the Sander's town hall receptions and the defiance of dem governors. That's what people want. There is anger. Embrace it. Use it. Hold town halls in GOP districts too.

For all you who continually whine “I’m not racist, I just think we need to have standards,” this is absorb this.No Black man could become head of the Joint Chiefs without meeting the standard. What they want is to harden a system of affirmative action for white guys.They what their grandfathers had.

what the moment calls for is fighters instead of gormless boobs who should have retired 30 years ago. policy differences can be hashed out later, everyone can agree that Musk and Trump must be stopped and democracy restored

None of this has anything to do with effectiveness, or “lethality,” or promoting “warfighters," or any other buzzwords. It is praetorianism, plain and simple, and it is an assault on our military and our democracy. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

I want to share Bernie's Anti-Oligarchy Town Hall from Nebraska tonight, but it's not here I guess because Bluesky doesn't allow live streaming yet?? Man-we've got to get that here STAT! The moment is too crucial to lack it. I hope they share an archive of it?

It's both. Some people can be convinced -- or have already started waking up, a bit. But absolutely, a large amount of people can not be convinced & it's not worth the waste of breath trying.

"Democracy is a system in which parties lose elections" I'm glad that we are now openly & explicitly discussing the far right authoritarianism of the Wisconsin GOP at the national level. It's long past time to acknowledge the direction of the sunrise.

They are telling us, out loud, exactly how the 2026/28 elections will not be free & fair. They will go after vote by mail (bsky.app/profile/mira...). They will go after computer voting. They will then say we can't count all the paper ballots because it's taking too long & there must be fraud. Etc.

I would submit that the attitude that led Democrats down the road to disaster was being exceptionally out of step with what voters were telling them, and thinking they could change their stance. Doubling down on Biden by saying voters would reward him for a good economy was a really good example.
