A full auditorium turned out for @markwarner.bsky.social in #VirginiaBeach this morning. Encouraging to hear this “pro-growth” centrist Democrat acknowledge “This is not the time for bipartisanship.”

I listen to Trump threaten to forcibly annex Canada, and I wonder what has happened that we have actual Republican senators who still support him.
Then @schumer.senate.gov says he's going to vote on the CR that gives Trump free rein to do whatever.
How is he the Democratic Senate leader?

I am grateful for the truth tellers. People are dying as a result of cuts in foreign aid.
Take 5 minutes to take a stand against the GOP’s latest attempt at voter suppression!

There were protests at every US state capitol 2/5, now happening again on President's Day. Last time thousands of people showed up despite limited lead time and promotion.
Share widely so that media won't be able to ignore Americans this President's Day!! #50501 #buildtheresistance #wethepeople
It’s time to take a stand.

Friends, I am so proud to share the full announcement of the @pwaydems.bsky.social endorsement for @rasjbaraka.bsky.social for Governor. Along with Council members, community leaders & neighbors fighting for justice, transparency and accountability, I believe that he is the leader NJ needs now.

That’s right. Don’t take this nonsense without a fight!
I’m afraid it’s time to take to the streets!

Great news for NJCU and the entire community. Leadership matters.

I concur. And I take it as a message from Joe that it is time to forgo the moral high ground and start playing by the same absence of rules guiding Trump and his MAGA clan.

It sure would be a shame if we pushed such a dangerous book to the bestseller list this week 😉 shop.wordbookstores.com/book/9780743...

Here in Virginia Beach all 4 of our progressive candidates won their school board elections, after we lost 4 seats to MAGA candidates 2 years ago. 🎉💙 The turning of the tide starts at the local level, and Virginia has a gubernatorial election next year! 💙🌊💙
