Democratic leaders: I think it's abundantly clear at this point that simply going along to get along ain't gonna work. Trying to negotiate ain't gonna work. Being collegial ain't gonna work. What you're doing right now isn't working. Take your gloves off and punch back. Hard.

@adamkinzinger.bsky.social @aoc.bsky.social @davidhogg.bsky.social please just lead us. At this point it’s not dems vS repubs ..it is democracy vs authoritarianism. We need organization of epic proportion before it’s too late. - form a committee..I don’t care..but just step up.

@kenmartin.bsky.social Every elected democrat needs to be on blusky posting 3 coordinated messages a day. Email 5 messages to them to pick from for the day. Let’s go!!!

@petebuttigieg.bsky.social We need a leader who can coordinate groups/organizations against Trump/Musk - we need to see y’all doing something targeted and coordinated. Please use ur platform to do this.

It'd be a shame if this got reposted over and over again ...

"This is what an unlawful attack on democracy in the digital age looks like. It didn’t take armed men....This was an organised, systematic, jailbreak on one of the United States’ most precious and sensitive resources: the private data of its citizens." It's a coup.

Kendrick Lamar showed more courage in the face of rising American tyranny than we’ve seen from ANY former American leader. If you swore an oath to protect this nation, where are you now? youtube.com/shorts/keNw6...

Here’s what we did today

Murphy: "The reality is this could get dystopian very quickly. If you were to start speaking ill of Elon Musk on social media, Musk might be able to stop or delay your tax refund, or your mom's Social Security benefit, in part because we have no window into what's happening at Treasury right now."

"POLITICO has never been a beneficiary of government programs or subsidies — not one cent, ever, in 18 years," the news outlet's chiefs Goli Sheikholeslami and John Harris wrote in a memo tonight. They're responding to rampant right-wing misinformation... www.cnn.com/2025/02/05/m...

Republicans Pour Gasoline on California as it Burns From Devastating Wildfires Instead of compassion, prayers, and help, Donald Trump & Republicans offer contempt, lies, & racism as the most populous state in the nation tries to survive devastating fires. thelefthook.substack.com/p/republican...

An underappreciated aspect of the Nazi rise is how quickly German *society* fell into line. In early March 1933, a majority of German voters voted against the Nazis. By late spring, pretty much the whole country backed them. How did that happen? Here's a little thread. (1/6)

I have 214.6K followers, and I figure at least some of them are looking to gift books this holiday season, so: HEY AUTHORS OF BLUESKY: In the comments to this post, tell us (briefly!) about your most recent book, and put in a link to where people can learn more and/or buy the book in question. Go!

Like I keep saying, the "normal" ways will not stop them. They're going extrajudicial, extraconstitutional, extramoral, extraethical. What will WE do differently to fight them?

Can you put @tpm.bsky.social in here? Please and thank you?

I, like many of you, have been contemplating our predicament since election night. We are in a losing war for our democracy and I'm not sure we collectively know who our true adversary is. It's not the voting blocks...white women, Latinos, Gen X. It's not MAGA. It's not even Trump. 🧵
