๐จ BREAKING
Democrat Dan Goughnour wins a special election for the Pennsylvania State House, breaking a 101-101 tie and securing Democratic control of the chamber.
We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado.
11,000 people showed up.
Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.
We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.
They own what happens next.

Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.
Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

John Fugelsang Right wing authoritarians want to deport a bishop for quoting Jesus And if you think that's bad, you should see what the right wing authoritarians did to Jesus, Rep. Mike Collins The person giving this sermon should be added to the deportation list.
Right wing authoritarians want to deport a bishop for quoting Jesus. Seriously!
Thanks, @johnfugelsang.bsky.social

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.
With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.
You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

And this all coincidentally happens just in time to grant Trump positive news coverage the night before his inauguration? Hmmm... ๐ค"
It's hard not to see this whole TikTok saga as a publicity stunt at this point.
And I realize this could all potentially be a coincidence, but if so, that's one hell of a set of coincidences.
