The fascists are not inevitable. They're not unstoppable. They're not all powerful. They want you to think that, but millions turned out last month to call their bluff. And millions turned out today to claim our power. We will win.

serious note: they're gonna try 5x harder to sabotage the midterms after tonight and we're gonna have to organize on a literally historic scale to stop them

Two-fer! Taxing the wealthy and feeding school kids. People will vote for tax increases if they know the money is allocated for a specific, beneficial purpose.

It's absolutely true that defeating fascism requires a very big tent. And for that tent to stand, it has to have a pole -a backbone. Otherwise it's a tarp that merely smothers you.
We come together around widely held values and against this regime of the bullies, for the billionaires.

Man alive. The contrast between the courage of voters and the absolute cowardice of Democratic leadership is just undeniable and the story of the moment.

The question is which will win out in the end and that question just got a whole lot louder.

We need a new generation of leaders who are the voices of democracy, freedom, social justice, & the rule of law.

A new generation that renews the β€œwe” in β€œwe the people.”

Instead of fretting over Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party should embrace him as part of its future.

Endorse. Those with courage, step forward. Shrinking cowards, step back.

HELL YEAH! I went to a statewide Maine Indivisible convening a few weeks ago, and defeating this was the top priority from the group.

Everyone should pay careful attention to the Maine voter ID ballot measure (Prop 1). It is on track to lose -- thereby proving that the GOP claims that voter ID laws are overwhelmingly popular is a lie. Perhaps now the legacy media will stop repeating that nonsense.

Just to note, there is a well documented connection between mass in-person protest and election outcomes. I'm looking forward to the academic papers analyzing No Kings in October and turnout today.

This is the president of the United States taking a break from gold-and-marble interior renovations to say he’ll defy a court order to feed hungry Americans.

Nero would be proud.

Lots of β€œnever Trumper” encomiums to Cheney today. So who was Dick Cheney? The most powerful & dangerous Vice-President in our history, leading us into an unnecessary war, violating legal & political norms, & expanding his own office and secrecy to harmful proportions.

.@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social is proof that politicians can focus on "kitchen table issues" and brilliantly inspire people at the same time. It's amazing what can happen when you connect basic goals to a big audacious vision: you've gotta see the path to want to walk the path.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

Why do people buy pizza with EBT?

Because cauliflower is five dollars a head and you can buy five pizzas with the same money.

It’s not that folks don’t want to be healthy. They can’t afford to be healthy.

There are things YOU personally can do to push back without standing on a street corner every few months! Make sure those who are profiteering from the bullying and targeting of immigrants don't get your money!

I signed the pledge to boycott Mesa Gateway Airport! I commit that I will not book flights out of Mesa Gateway Airport (Williams Field) until the airport administration cancels Avelo/ICE Air Operations deportation flights and dismantles the AROCC…

πŸ”₯ Did you know that Mesa Gateway Airport is the Valley's deportation hub, and Avelo Airlines is running constant flights to who-knows-where? The airport admin has given the big brush-off to complaints, & you can help! Sign the pledge at bit.ly/NoMesaGateway to amp up the pressure!
