For the people who live in red districts, what’s the most effective way to sway your representative to vote for releasing the Epstein files?

I’ll support any candidate who primaries you, if you don’t sign?

Can someone tell the Christian Nationalists that JESUS WAS LITERALLY A REFUGEE

…and he was woke AF. If Jesus came back today, the Trump regime would deport him

IMO the Never-Trump ex-republicans at the Bulwark now dedicate their lives to speaking out against fascism & bigotry. If that can’t win your trust back, nothing will

Taking down dictators requires us to lock arms w/ people we otherwise wouldn’t have as allies, in service of the greater good πŸ’™

DNC's Cash Shortfall Deepens as GOP Amasses Massive War Chests A sharp drop-off in major contributions has left Democrats financially unprepared for state party rebuilding alongside redistricting battles.

If the DNC actually listened to its base, they’d have no problem raising money.

Until they align themselves with what their base wants, they’d can expect to be broke. We are done with corporate dems and AIPAC. The DNC isn’t listening!

Endorse progressives like Mamdani or go extinct ☠️

Since Trump’s β€œGolden Age” turned out to be fools gold, I’d suppose we could settle for Newsom ushering in the American β€œSilver Age”

And by silver, I mean Silver Fox πŸ˜‰

Not sure who needs to hear this, but there are only 2 sides right now:
fascist or anti-fascist.

Defeating fascism requires imperfect allies.

You can get on board with CA & Newsom….or take the high road all the way to a Trump dictatorship.

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social if you want to be 100% sure California voters vote YES on the new maps, you should commit to making AOC the speaker of the house

Literally zero Dem voters want a Speaker Jeffries.

AOC gets the progressives back (who you also need to get the nomination in 2028)

Do itttt

THIS WEEK the GOP has:

1️⃣ Militarized DC to use force against the American people
BTW they are still in LA

2️⃣ Our most senior military official posted a video about the repeal of the 19th amendment (women’s right to vote)

3️⃣ Asked SCOTUS to repeal marriage equality

…and it’s only Tuesday morning.

On Wednesday, ICE GOONS arrested a mother in the school drop-off line at Inzunza Camarina Elementary in Chula Vista, leaving her two children in the car.

There are a lot of Penske locations on Google Maps. Fascist companies deserve 1 star ⭐️

Such an important point:

β€œProgressive policies…are very popular in this country…but you have a segment of the Democratic Party that keeps trying to convince progressives we’re losing elections because their policies need to be more moderate.” Matt Dowd

I wish more understood this.

A confession…

"FIVE ALARM FIRE!” BOMBSHELL Supreme Court development
YouTube video by Brian Tyler Cohen "FIVE ALARM FIRE!” BOMBSHELL Supreme Court development

When BTC & Marc Elias say β€œFive Alarm Fire” we need to listen up

To my fellow white people: if you consider yourself an ally to people of color, you better get LOUD about this

The GOP is trying to water down voter representation - specifically for black & brown people

Silence = acceptance

I’ve heard this here and there, but I don’t think it’s correct - there’s a reason sex symbols usually have large chests.

Also, the clothes/fashion thing feels fat-shaming coded IMO, and would explain why someone would push that narrative πŸ’β€β™€οΈ

A bulletproof Emmett Till memorial. Riddled with bullet dents.

All I think about when I hear people say that it’s bad taste to dance on Hulk Hogan’s grave is that Emmett Till’s monument had to be replaced with a 500lb steel bulletproof monument because white people simply won’t stop riddling it with bullets. So now it just has tons of dents. From bullets.

Unlike most other elected officials, he is showing up and speaking out now. We should support it

I get why people dislike him. After the election he had several MAGA’s on his pod. Which would be fine if he was debating, but he wasn’t pushing back on anything they said

It was a flop. He’s now back on track but I think needs to walk back his actions to get the a good chunk of the dem base back

Probably the best interview I’ve seen of @governor.ca.gov

There are no perfect allies - he has my vote & my support! βœŠπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

If Newsom wants the whole base’s 2028 support, he should publicly:

1) explain/regret the terrible podcast strategy

2) voice support for the trans community

Yep, and still republicans continue to make it harder to vote! They threw out an est 4 million votes in swing states in 2024, for petty issues like missing the middle initial on your signature
