Stop telling people our democracy is dead. It’s hurt, it’s not dead yet. Doomerism is voter suppression, full stop. And I don’t think we should tolerate it. We should push back on it with the same strength of rejecting disinfo and misinfo. The left needs to STOP with the apathy & self sabotage.

Oh wow, we’re doin’ it!

Access to fundamental data sets is often withheld or limited by gate-keeping national agencies, and these restrictions have huge consequences, says climate scientist Santiago Beguería. https://go.nature.com/4c0oqmt

ARE WE GREAT YET?!?!

Me: “hey look at this cool plant i found on vacation” Them: ….

A postcard To send to Schumer And the DNC And any other reps who need this Probably good for republicans too but, pfff, they're already ~barely~ cartilaginous simpering cowards. Anyhow you can download the full res here: ko-fi.com/s/cf3a3cfca6 Have fun.

❤️ WISCONSIN: “I’d like to apologize. My eyes were opened. I’ve learned a very lot about this group of people.” Larry came to testify against the anti-trans youth health care bill, but had an epiphany and changed his mind. Context: www.pride.com/politics/ant...

Some people are just golden on stage. The Harris Campaign of course gave him a script and loaded it on a teleprompter. He's best just like this, off the cuff, no teleprompter and right on the money!

Elon Musk dropped eight figures to buy a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat for his MAGA buddy Brad “Elon” Schimel—the guy who dressed as Trump in a garbage truck costume (fitting). Check out the full story by @benwikler.bsky.social below 👇

Might be an unpopular take, but I think the congressional dems needed today. Greed, money, and power that was the status quo and cause of their weakness came to bite them in the ass. The stunning betrayal I *hope* is the catalyst they needed to get their shit together. It’s obvious many are mad.

If you’re mad as hell about today’s Senate vote, let your Senators know via @resist.bot. Just 10 members (20% of the Senate Dem Conference) are needed to call to a vote whether & who shall replace Senator Schumer as Conference Chair & Democratic Leader 🗳️ resist.bot/petitions/PZ...

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

Cool so what happens if GOP attach a national abortion ban to a CR? You'll vote for that too? 🚮

AOC should announce a primary against Schumer tonight.

Late afternoon thoughts: regardless of a government shutdown, Schumer, Jeffries, et. al. need to communicate their plans to the country how they will actively fight the GOP/Musk/Trump. All we are getting right now is self-justifications for compliance in advance. That's not leadership, not at all.

We don’t care. You did not reel in DOGE and Musk.

If you’re done with @schumer.senate.gov leadership I created a note to go out to senators demanding a leadership change on @resist.bot resist.bot/petitions/PO...

🚨 NEW: We just launched a one-click email tool to contact all Democratic Senators who are still undecided on the CR. Contact them and tell them to vote NO here ⬇️ win.newmode.net/votersoftomo...

Nancy Pelosi urges Democratic senators to go against Schumer and vote NO on the Continuing Resolution.

👀

🚨 BREAKING: 11 young people were arrested after Schumer locked the doors on us—we showed him how to fight, but he couldn’t even face us. His cowardly deal gives Musk the keys to our government while working people suffer. If he won’t fight for us, he’s unfit to lead. Step up or step aside.

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!

You know people are furious when they show up at an 8am protest at @schumer.senate.gov house. Chuck you are betraying us. It’s not too late to change your mind and actually fight back! @indivisible.org @socialists.nyc @riseandresist.bsky.social @marisakabas.bsky.social @50501newyork.bsky.social

They’re mocking the Dems now

Democrats' plan for victory in 2026 will focus on book tours, podcasts with Nazis.

#FaxtheFossils NO on cloture. NO on CR. faxzero.com/fax_senate.php

As Mother Nature wakes up, watch for one of the classic signs of spring—dragon claws emerging from the earth 🐲 …just kidding! These are young skunk cabbage flowers—one of the first native wildflowers to bloom in spring.

AOC on senate Dems caving and backing the CR: “A wide sense of betrayal.”

Chuck Schumer is a call to action not a name

at this rate Chuck Schumer is gonna be Gavin Newsom’s next podcast guest

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

Lmao

Omg do it. He’d be done.

Rage Project #6

The weakness of corporate/establishment dems is always disappointing but expected. Regardless, we must be wary of draining our energy with excessive, repeated outrage and our own fear mongering that turns into apathy fuel. This was always going to be a long fight. Forward. #primarychuck

As it turns out, appointing the onceler to be in charge of truffula tree protection wasn’t such a good idea.

@schumer.senate.gov No CR. No cloture. If you do either, we have reason to believe you’re a selfish coward or Republican operative. If there’s a yes, you should resign.
