KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN. ☎️: (202) 224-3121 Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid. The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING. Call retiring Senators too!

This is the cohort that matters. Independents are already breaking from Trump, and they are going to decide every swing election.

Virginians: please call Tim Kaine ASAP. He says this morning he's willing to give up his only leverage by voting for cloture if he also gets a vote on a clean funding bill that Republicans will obviously kill. He thinks you're stupid. Tell him you're watching: NO ON CLOTURE, KAINE! (202) 224-4024.

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up. Tomorrow is the cloture vote. KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️ Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill. Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.

Yeah, this is a perennial truth -- landmark struggles over free speech typically involve people who are saying and doing things that are unpopular That's, uh, why they need the protection of the First Amendment. It's sort of the whole point.

I need y'all to sit with this headline and understand what is being done to our community. They're trying to criminalize our very existence. This is a campaign of eradication. www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/rcna...

I should just give up, but… Democrats should imagine what Republicans would have said and done if Merrick Garland had gone to, like, Netroots Nation, called Don Jr a crackhead, and mused about fabricating criminal charges against Joe Biden's enemies, and then say and do that.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

🚨 Your House representative is now back home through February 23. That’s where we come in. With Trump and Elon Musk pulling off a billionaire coup in real time, this congressional recess is about turning up the heat like never before. Let’s get to work: indivisi.org/muskorus

Make your calls. Go to your town halls. Ask your state and local officials what they are doing under state and local law. Rest. Hydrate. Make soup for the hungry. Don’t let people tell you that you’re doing it wrong. Not a sprint. Not a marathon. A relay. Find your team. Thank you.

Point taken. Not an easy call. But continue the story, Brian: after skipping the photo op, the press doesn't take the day off. It can re-deploy itself. From the Pentagon to the 5th grade teacher, who plans to comply with "Gulf of America?" See, "Send the interns." pressthink.org/2017/01/send...

So what if he does? Do you stand for your industry being one where truth matters or don’t you? You don’t stop being able to cover Trump if you lose White House access ffs

This is something @maritstilesndp.bsky.social and @bonnieforontario.bsky.social should be on, daily. Doug in Musk's pocket is not "fighting" them. The ads should be about all the things he does EXCEPT his job. Months long vacations, meddling in municipal affairs, international trade.

All of this is fuckin awful but I am also struck by how dipshit it is in the Internet Age, like if there is one thing we can do, it's very clearly preserve basic fuckin' history to both razz these absolute assholes and maintain an ongoing narrative that we refuse to concede on

Not only do candidates of both parties need to do this, but voters of both stripes need to come together to make these cross-party votes. This bravery can’t win if voters don’t stand by it

Brave and principled. A few more Liberal and NDP candidates should do the same in places like Mississauga, Brampton, Etobicoke, and suburban Ottawa.
