Just a day ago, Hakeem Jeffries went on the #1 Podcast in the US, Meidas Touch, to lay out Dems' plans to fight back against Trump *and* what people should do to fight back against Trump. At this point, I just have to believe that the angry people aren't actually *listening* to Dems.

"No outcomes are ever preordained, nothing is ever over, and you can always affect what happens tomorrow by making the right choices today" - Anne Apllebaum - We're standing at a crossroads! 🇪🇺🇺🇦🇺🇸 It's up to you! #BlueSkyFriends We need to be brave! 🧵1/9

Patriotic Americans must get their minds around the idea that mass protests likely will be necessary to stop a Trump-Musk dictatorship. Consider what outrage would get you into the streets. Keep bottled water and snacks handy. But mostly, get psychologically ready to defend your country.

if you or your organization wants me to show up for your protests, I need you to be protesting republicans. if you or your organization is protesting democrats, I just assume you're yet another counterproductive republican opp not worth my time.

106 years ago this week, the US Army realized that it was hiring unqualified, uneducated, illiterate job candidates because of racial preferences… White men

🧵 It’s the racism. White people need to start calling out and not accepting pure, evil racism.

I respect that she has all the smoke for republicans and doesn't attack her Democratic colleagues. I may not always like her, but I respect the hell out of what she's doing now. And for going all in for Kamala, which was a wonderful surprise.

This is for all the big accounts on hear w/thousands upon thousands of followers, including @mcuban.bsky.social & George Clooney. The Democratic Party did nothing wrong in their messaging. This election was a clear choice between good & evil, moral vs immoral. I'm sorry that most of you don't have

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is not a dictator. He is a champion of democracy, freedom and truth.

Ukraine now manufactures 40% of its own munitions. They have rewritten the art of war with their development and use of drones. They are hitting Russian infrastructure; military airports, oil depots, munitions plants. They've destroyed 14K tanks and armored vehicles, most with drones.

Saying "Hakeem just doesn't get it" after the American Voters didn't give him any power seems like a good reason for me to unfollow you.

The truth is that nobody knows what they want except for bad things to stop happening and, well, sorry, but the way that bad things stop happening is for *Republicans* to remove Trump and Musk. And right now the media is fully in Trump's/Musk's pocket. We're on our own here.

What if I told y’all that race is, in fact, not an immutable characteristic? It is a construct created to parce power, opportunity and economic advantage. A person racialized as Black might be 10% African or 100%, but regardless of genetics, they share a common history of exclusion.

I was electrocuted, beaten, stabbed in the leg and starved after being captured while defending my home and family in Mariupol. We held back Putin’s invasion for several weeks while Russia slaughtered over 25,000 predominantly Russian speaking Ukrainians including women and children.

Dear President Zelensky, @zelensky-repost.bsky.social Heroyam Slava! 💙💛 Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦 This dweeb does not speak for me. 👇

Trump’s appeasement of Putin is a disgraceful surrender to Russia, an outright betrayal of Ukraine, and a stark warning to the world that America under Trump is no longer the defender of democracy but a willing collaborator with a terrorist state. My latest...

The choice was Harris or Trump. You can blah blah blah your “there should’ve been a better candidate” all the way to hell and I certainly hope you go there, but at the end of the day, the choice was Harris/Democracy or Trump/Dictatorship. And you’ll ALWAYS be to blame if you didn’t choose Harris..
