Oh, my god. Thiel, Vance & their PayPal mafia/anti-intellectual private equity bros openly threaten our public schools and higher education, and with it, the fabric of civil society.

Get ready for more misogyny directed at women, particularly of color.

The real problem is he’s just as (in)effective as he’s been for years. Beyond time to oust him as leader, @democrats.senate.gov Get moving.

@schumer.senate.gov your spinelessness in the face of executive lawlessness, corruption & cruelty is appalling. Resign NOW as minority “leader”. Regardless, this IS your last Senate term. Progressives are working tirelessly to oust your sorry ass.

@schiff.senate.gov & @padilla.senate.gov your constituents are watching what you do in this perilous time for our democracy. You don’t get a free pass: replace spine-free Schumer, who betrayed our fellow Americans & snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. He needed to go years ago…in March. NOW.

Too bad our government didn’t stand up to the moment having now thrown us all under the bus after we rose up and said no to this authoritarian regime with courage and conviction to restore democracy. Huge betrayal that people will NOT forget or forgive.

This is the message of a failed, feckless, and leaderless party. We need a party with backbone, and the only path to it is through a cleansing primary season. If your Dem is up for reelection, and you aren't damn sure they're fighting the fascists with everything they've got, primary the bastard.

@adelitaforcongress.bsky.social won her seat in Congress 46 days ago.

What am I missing that you're watching?

And you can explore on my big board:

HUGE WIN: @peterhubbardga.bsky.social and Alicia Johnson will help lower Georgians’ utility costs and become the first non-federal statewide elected Democrats in nearly twenty years.
