Critical thinking is not the national forte of a country that views itself as “exceptional.”

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.

The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.”

It’s about control.

Ossoff: "We would be naive to not expect dirty tricks. This man tried to steal the presidency when he lost it the first time, and that's why we are going to mount an unprecedented effort to get out the vote and defend voting rights."

Textbook. If you are surprised, it is because this shit usually, at least not in the last 150 years, does not happen in the US. And the past is mild in comparison

Oh, and one more thing: “We’ll remember the names of those who died on the streets of Minneapolis!”

No “hoping” about it…we absolutely MUST include it.

They hate everything they cannot control.
For example, the Indigenous Peoples’ resilience, Black Americans’ presence as evidence of strength and will, and the current resistance that refuses to comply.
They “love” those who follow orders and don’t raise hell. And the billionaires who support them.

Bush can’t be bothered. I’m guessing he’s slipped a couple of cogs.

And anyone who works with or for him is an idiot and most likely a criminal.

Alex Pretti was an ICU nurse. Murdered for standing up for his community.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

White. Hot. Rage.

The detainment of a 5 year old is very bad. The image is just bad for your propaganda.

I hope we continue to amplify targeted boycotts as well. They can be very effective and have less impact on those of us who may rely on our jobs to make ends meet.

A friend who grew up in the same area/time told me his father realized there was no bad press way back, and the more you see in the limelight, the better.

The GOP and quite a few Democrats are digging the grave of our democracy.

In this moment, the status quo won’t cut it.

We need leaders who recognize the gravity of this moment, who tell it like it is, make clear who and what we’re fighting for, and have the track record of getting it done.

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social is one of those leaders. Let’s go win.

Organize locally. Own the Primaries.
Boot of the old boy collaborators and replace them with brave, bold new candidates who will hold the fascists accountable.
