I know folks are concerned & upset about the transition but PLEASE prepare yourself & your household for what’s coming. We only had the Dotard for 1 yr of the pandemic last time. This time it’s at least 4 yrs of incompetence. Nothing will get better on his watch. www.11alive.com/article/news...

Happy Winter Solstice 💜

#ProudBlue #Voices4Victory This should have been Time’s Person of the Year, not the felon and dictator wannabe they chose. I will never look at another Time Magazine. NEVER!

One of the lessons of the last month is that great wealth cannot buy courage but it can reveal cowardice.

::Sigh:: Once more for the people in the back. If audiobooks don’t count as reading, then braille isn’t reading either. Stop gatekeeping literacy.

It’s that time of year 🎄

Authorities are baffled when the potential backpack shooter pulls out his ‘Get out of jail free’ card.

Fair warning: I'm a low-road democrat. This account will pursue the relentless mockery of fascists, and a willingness to urge leaders to break norms for the sake of democracy. And cat pictures.

I’m afraid that you are correct.

Ben Wikler gets it! @benwikler.bsky.social His clarity on why Democrats must get relentless in messaging, take action, and meet people where they are is exactly what we need. This segment sounds good to me. What’s your take?

It would be good if senators from both parties started getting a lot of calls and emails requesting proper FBI background checks for all cabinet appointees, and for Kash Patel not to be confirmed under any circumstances. Many in the GOP are not comfortable with this either. Let them hear from you.

“Anyone? Anyone?”

My mother sent @jamellebouie.net's column from this morning around the family. At 91, she can take comfort if not in the election, in Douglass's speech as a reminder that there has been historical resistance to American authoritarianism. Thank you, sir.

A powerful and timely quote from On Tyranny by Timothy Snyder: “The time to show courage is when the moment of crisis still seems unimaginable.” This reminds us to act early and decisively to protect democracy and resist authoritarianism before it becomes entrenched.

Democrats are just incredibly, self-defeatingly bad about challenging their too-old members. Multiple members ran for re-election this year despite being visibly ailing. One (Bill Pascrell) died after the primary - he was seeking a new term at age 87.

I was @morethanmySLE on Twitter. I have chronic illness, lupus & live with disabilities, but have traveled to DC to engage with Congress, share your health care story & testified to protect our care & Social Security. Please consider a FOLLOW or ADD to your Starter Pack would so help my advocacy.🙏💜

Going through depression after the election, wading through the X cesspool, then coming to a warm post election greeting at Bluesky feels a bit like George Bailey getting all the love at the end of "It's a Wonderful Life."

Trump is itching to get his Cabinet in place. President Biden should help him by ordering FBI background checks on all Trump nominees to begin immediately.

The first critical election of the new Trump era is just 132 days from now: Wisconsin’s state Supreme Court race. 🧵

This is what happens when you grow up never hearing the word no.

Spot on.

I've created an intra-party scholars starter pack: mostly political scientists with a sprinkling of polcomm scholars and historians who research the internal politics of political parties. Let me know if you want to be added! go.bsky.app/A3MY3nF

Flood of MAGA trolls are arriving. Report, block, and move on.

For my love of great photography, especially black and white... Kamala... I will always love and respect you WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN WHAT HAVE WE BECOME

Thank you Debbie Dingell for your service. Let's go Jasmine Crocket!!
