We'll just all let these predatory insurance companies, corporations, and Nazis destroy themselves and lose their fortunes while we build better sustainable systems together. How about them apples?

Trump’s DC air crash press conference is an embarrassing disaster. Offensive and abusive. Full of lies about DEI at the FAA. Hateful and shameful political rhetoric at this most painful of times. He is completely insane. This is not normal. #25thAmendmentNow

Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand is making an all-out push in the waning days of the Biden administration that she believes could bolster reproductive rights, calling on the president to certify the Equal Rights Amendment and enshrine its protections into the Constitution.

Thank you! Authoritarians love it when people lose all sense of morality and cheer on violence. It's another way of obeying in advance.

Several Montana Republicans joined Democrats on Tuesday to block a measure that would have barred transgender lawmakers from using the state Capitol bathrooms that aligned with their gender identities.

I talk about engaging rural folks because I know there is opportunity in rural spaces. If Democrats will just spend time and resources there…if we build the infrastructure in the off years, we can win. We don’t have to flip rural districts— just get 5% more rural folks to vote for Dems. Then we win.

A graphic depiction helps make clear that Trump has no “mandate.” One of the narrowest popular vote wins in history.

People in Romania have organized mass protests after the fascist pro-Russian candidate won the first election round, they didn’t even hesitate and protests are being planned nationwide. Protestors are chanting: "better dead than fascist". #bluesky

I am such a believer in this. Down-ballot is the way. It’s also how we build a sustainable future of good leaders and infrastructure to elect and support them, as well as the movements they represent. We don’t just need strong candidates. We need strong organizers, managers, CoS, grassroots, etc.

I’m not big on celebrating Thanksgiving, but I’m grateful for everyone who is a voice for Democracy & spoken out against Fascism. Every voice matters - individually & collectively. One voice can change a mind. A collective can change the world. If Brazil and France can do it, so can we. #resistance

Three races left to call. Democrats lead in two and could certainly win the third. But if everything stays as is, the “RECORD WIN” Trump says he just scored will in fact leave him able to lose only the following number of GOP votes on any bill: 2. Not 20. 2. Doesn’t seem like a mandate, does it?
