Operation Democracy ✊🏼 Free DC!

In theory, yes. In reality, voting power is heavily diluted away from democracy, especially at the national level. So make sure to ALSO vote in primaries, research your local candidates, and vote in other democratic institutions such as unions, co-ops, political parties, local organizations, etc!

Ugh, fucking Jared Polis.

We have to do our best to build democracy from the ground up because it certainly is a sham at the national level and statewide for many states. To no one in particular: How many democratic organizations are you a member of? I'm a member of 2 co-ops and one major democratic organization.

Sounds like they’re going to need to invalidate the results. Completely fascistic.

🤬

Y’all, the 2024 election was stolen, just like the 2016 and 2000 elections. I think it’s high time to stop guilt-tripping each other over Trump “winning” in 2024.

I’ve got a list of Dem/progressive candidates running in 2026. Who else do I need to add?

Yes.

Citizens in a democracy must be allowed to criticize Israel Why the "Israel exception" threatens democracy and Jewish safety worldwide

“If you cannot say what is true about Israel’s actions in the world, you do not live in a democracy. Too many citizens live in countries whose democratic status is threatened in this way.” open.substack.com/pub/jasonsta...

Alexandria, VA - be sure to vote!

This is DC's money.

If our current CFO is going to refuse to allocate it, we need a new CFO.

What the fuuuuck

👇🏿 All that we can do is fight to get our nation back,because our democracy is gone,broken...

It may already be too late. But we keep fighting bc the alternative is absolutely unacceptable.

What’s one thing you’re doing for #democracy electorally and one thing you’re doing beyond electoral systems, in 2026? Since we need both. Me:

1. Canvassing for municipal elections (mayor and city council).
2. Procott outreach to support small, local businesses over oligarchic / Trump-aligned biz.

No, I’m pretty sure I’d think it was stupid regardless. Not the first thing I thought was lacking in the book, but I still think most of it is good. He’s obviously a bit ignorant and quite privileged and sometimes writes nonsense, but he seems to at least be trying. *Some* of the book is fantastic.

Funnily enough, the section I just started reading sounds totally stupid to me. Most of the book up to this point has been great.

I’m not really familiar with him beyond this book tbh.

Crazy story about Bush. Imagine if we gave power to people according to their curiosity rather than their extroversion!

According to this fantastic #book, books about healing are what’s hot right now. This book might sound more like a “self-help” book, but I think of it more as a book on healing bc healing is what I’m focused on and this fits right in. It also talks about trauma and is highly relevant to this moment.

Looking forward to my first canvassing excursion in 2026 on Saturday, for @aparnafordc.bsky.social ! Let’s go, DC Ward 1!

He’s the ultimate colonialist. Along with the other broligarchs.

We can have democracy or we can have Peter Thiel but we can’t have both. It should be an easy decision but capitalism demands we choose this freak’s personal wealth and power over a better world for billions of people

Cool zine. #zines #cybersecurity #civilrights #birds

Idk why we get so many centrists in government. Wait nvm, just remembered it’s bc they’re placed there by the oligarchy. Crockett is hardly extreme. She’s probably a centrist by European standards. In Texas, conservatives are considered centrist. Give an example of what Crockett *could have* done.

Great idea.

You Know What? Maybe the Time Is Right for an AOC Presidential Bid She’s only 36, and there’s a good argument that she should run for Senate and bide her time. But she also could be a formidable White House candidate.

The worst case scenario for an AOC presidential run in 2028 is that she’s setting herself up for 2032 or 2036.

She is going to be president someday—it’s just a matter of time.

FBI Interviewed Trump Accuser, Epstein Files Show Trump was credibly accused of sexual assault in the Epstein files. It's unclear what became of the DOJ's investigation.

This is a bombshell: One of Epstein's victims accused Trump of sexually and violently assaulting her when she was "13 to 15" and the FBI deemed her credible enough to warrant an interview.
