"Why should I bother voting if I live in a blue state?"

In 2024 Becca Balint received over twice the votes that her R opponent got. Because she has such a mandate, she can afford to speak with moral clarity on issues that Dems from purple districts are scared to touch. This matters.

How about including participation in an insurrection against our democracy?

Ok … was the naming of the new fighter jet really a joke, or are they really that clueless? Leaning towards the latter. F*47 it is then. Expecting to see that emblazoned on many a sign on 4/5🀣

OF THE EMPIRE
We will be known as a culture that feared death and adored power, that tried to vanquish insecurity for the few and cared little for the penury of the many. We will be known as a culture that taught and rewarded the amassing of things, that spoke little if at all about the quality of life for people (other people), for dogs, for rivers. All the world, in our eyes, they will say, was a commodity. And they will say that this structure was held together politically, which it was, and they will say also that our politics was no more than an apparatus to accommodate the feelings of the heart, and that the heart, in those days, was small, and hard, and full of meanness.

The sign up isn’t working- requires a phone number. I don’t feel a need to share that if I want to just watch. Sorry- will look for the livestream.

When the political winds changed in November, D.E.I. programs became the convenient fall guy. β€œTrump, I believe, is doing something similar at a grand scale,” Jay Caspian Kang writes. nyer.cm/SD17mhU

Reports of ICE harassing even indigenous people are an extra layer of disturbing that I didn't forsee. But here's what should happen! Please share #laloalcaraz cartoons

And blue states should declare an emergency and withhold all federal taxes from leaving their states, creating a slush fund for their own version of FEMA and cutting Trump out of the loop.
Not saying we can't help the red states but not unless they reform their elections systems πŸ˜‡
