This action is taking direct aim at Target, for caving to this administration's biased attacks on DEl; Home Depot, for allowing and colluding with ICE to kidnap our neighbors on their properties; and Amazon, for funding this administration to secure their own corporate tax cuts.

From Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday, we’re saying β€œWe Ain’t Buying It” and asking Americans to hit pause on buying from corporations that enable Trump’s fascist agenda: weaintbuyingit.com/?utm_source=ind_wabi

Ditto. Though Iβ€˜ve stopped wearing contacts as I moved into progressive lenses - omg, the cost! Progressive lenses + thin lenses + coating + decent frame = huge cost. They are now soothing me in the eye exam by saying oh, just wait until you get cataract surgery, you won’t need glasses at all!

Our primary program will include both the House and Senate. And after the primary β€” whatever happens β€” we will rally behind the winner and crush the regime electorally in the midterms just like we did this last week.

We get the party we demand and we intend to demand a Democratic Party that fights.

This isn’t about left vs. right.

This is about fighting back vs. losing.

The regime’s threats are too real and the stakes are too high to settle for the feckless, loser version of the Democratic Party we saw this week. In this moment when fascists are on the march, we need leadership with a spine.

After yesterday’s surrender, we’re launching the largest Democratic primary program that we’ve ever run.

We will not back any Senate primary candidate unless they call for Schumer to step down as Minority Leader.

If you’re as pissed as we are, join this campaign to rebuild the Democratic Party. πŸ‘‡

This is a good time for governors to tell the Trump regime to fuck off.

I was trying to imagine the other day, in response to a local dumping of two dogs, how anyone could do this to their own pets in particular. I tried to imagine myself doing it with any of our dogs and literally ended up in tears. Like, how does someone DO this? Boggles my brain.

Trump tries to build a fake wall of inevitability around everything he does.

Today, voters - literally from sea to shining sea - broke through all that, and this is just the beginning.

Mamdani just hit ONE MILLION votes in an off-election year.

The People’s Movement is flexing its muscles. Trump, and his billionaire donors (and both party establishments) better watch out.

Trump declares that Republicans have lost the shutdown. Absolutely zero reason for Dems to cave at this point

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.

NEW: NBC News projects that Democrats will retain control of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, as voters approved the retention of three Democratic justices.

This maintains the Democrats’ 5-2 majority on the state’s high court.
