Operation Democracy ✊🏼 Free DC!

Lost me at Telegram. It’s owned by a Russian oligarch and Signal is way more secure. Also, who the hell uses Telegram in the U.S.? YIKES

Launch Registration - Democracy's Second Act

In their book, Peter MacLeod and Richard Johnson challenge the narrative of a passive, cynical citizen. Citing examples from their work and cases in other countries, they show the amount of civic energy that remains untapped.

Mierda.

On Venezuela, Democrats Are Actually Acting Like an Opposition Party Even some moderate Democrats who’ve capitulated to Trump are taking a stand on the Venezuela madness. It’s a good sign—for now.

It’s about fucking time. The confirmation votes from Dems last year were INSANE. Just unbelievable. This is where we should’ve been a year ago.

Interesting. From an article in The New Republic.

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
