John Cornyn is a loyalist, but he’s forgettable. Because he’s up against a literal criminal, he’s now publicly joining the circus so he doesn’t lose his seat. Who can be the most terrible is how to describe this republican primary race 🫠 It’s going to be a long, rough year.

I know you aren't going to want to hear this but the reason the system can deport Mahmoud Khalil and send Kilmar Abrego Garcia to El Salvador is that for years we've been executing factually innocent people like Marcellus Williams and sending legally innocent people to places like Riker's Island.

This is the center-left strategy worldwide. Attempt to beat your opposition by parroting and therefore crediting your opposition's claims. It's a proven failure morally and electorally: bsky.app/profile/anat...

We wouldn't be heading into the fascist abyss were it not for Justice Roberts and his Federalist Society colleagues. The Roberts may throw up yield to Trump revving the engine & risking going off road but that's cause Roberts is steadily steering us toward control by the billionaires.

People change their minds. And it is, in fact, the job of political campaigns to change them.

the reality for democrats is that it’s not an either/or when it comes to decorum and fighting back — it’s an AND. democrats have to hit hard and disrupt, while also “playing” the game for harm reduction. neither side will win alone. there has to be a middle ground.

On 2/1/25, ~448 members of the Democratic Party will vote on the Party’s new leadership and vision that will decide WHO and WHAT Dems fight for. If you care even a little bit about the who or what, I urge you to reach out to YOUR state’s chair and vice chair to ask them who they’re voting for.

The co-opting of language like “good trouble” without interrogating what that actually means is irresponsible. The all white starter pack of educators “getting in good trouble” had good intentions, I’m sure… but the impact is exclusion and alienation. Good trouble would have meant doing the WORK 1/

@heymrsbond.bsky.social hosted book club on Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston and I must say: having the best educator you know, work through one of the most prolific literary novels all of time with you is… amazing 😭

If after the 2016, 2020, and 2024 elections you thought, “How did we get here?”… read Wild Faith: How the Christian Right is Taking Over America by Talia Lavin. It’s harrowing. It will probably be uncomfortable for a lot of folks, but it is necessary.

“Democrats haven’t done anything!” True-ish… but, do you know how many votes it takes to pass a bill? Bring back School House Rock so people can know the basics of government.

Never forget this: The GOP’s nonsensical culture war is meant to distract you from corporate corruption, worker oppression, and staggering wealth inequality.
