We can’t expect a blue wave to happen on its own—we’ve got to make it happen. That starts with listening to voters now, not next fall.

Meme-makers, do your thing.

We kicked the can to January or February to launch our midterms push. Any chance you're visiting the tundra then?

If the news has you in despair, I've got your antidote: ACTION. I still (really) need people for a canvassing pilot for Swing Left in Hudson, WI, on Saturday, 09/27. Today I'm offering a 99% guarantee that joining me to have real conversations with voters for a few hours will make you feel better.

In this week’s Bust blog, we talk about an offer we CAN refuse: $5K and a participation (in fascism) trophy for turning your uterus into a clown car. Meanwhile, Wyoming's only abortion clinic is back in the saddle after a judge yeeted anti-abortion bullsh*t straight into the canyon. buff.ly/Bm7qba5

BREAKING: Wisconsin judge Hannah Dugan arrested by the FBI for obstructing ICE arrest

The books on hold next to mine at the library. I don’t know whether to be afraid or to ask to join the compound.

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

If you'll come to a Swing Left Twin Cities event while you're here, we will mobilize our vast media empire to get the word out. Look how we got your shirt on the Rachel Maddow show! (Seriously, though, I am part of the leadership team, and I bet we could come up with something good.)

Personally, I think it should be front page news for at least a month if a sitting US President is using falsified evidence to try and deny due process to a man who has committed no crime, but that’s just me

Senator Van Hollen: My goal is to keep a spotlight on this until the 9-0 Supreme Court order is implemented. I asked the embassy whether they've been ordered by the Trump administration to do anything to facilitate his return. The answer was no

@daviss.bsky.social Is there a person or group organizing? I want to promote to my Swing Left Twin Cities chapter.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.

Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.

Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

Hey, if you live in Blaine and you need schools, cops, or heating assistance, maybe give your rep a call.

Somewhere this week I saw a helpful/heartening bulleted list of resistance wins for the week. Anyone know where that was? The message that fighting back works needs to be reinforced at every opportunity.

This is the official rapid response page of the Democratic Party, holding Trump and MAGA extremists accountable.

Welcome to FactPost.

A bold graphic with a black background featuring neon-style text. At the top, white text reads "Born-Alive Bill" in quotation marks. In the center, a neon sign-style design displays "BREAKING NEWS" in blue, outlined in red and yellow. Below, large yellow text states "BLOCKED", followed by white text that says "IN U.S. SENATE!!!!".

Anti-abortion conservative Senators just lost in their first attempt to punish abortion patients with the “Born Alive Act.” It's designed to criminalize doctors & push anti-abortion propaganda under the guise of “infant protections.”
The vote went 53-47 along party lines.

Start by choosing a chair who is 100% committed to listening to, supporting, and connecting grassroots organizers and organizations that already have boots on the ground. We fundraise, we knock doors, we hear directly from voters about what they care about.

When Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde mentions LGBTQ children, JD Vance all but rolls his eyes and looks at his wife, who, wisely, ignores him.

This is an odd reaction from a man who struggled with wondering if he was gay a child. But Republicans aren't famous for their self-awareness or empathy.
