We can't vote Schumer out until 2028 but we can make him being the senate majority leader a litmus test for 2026 candidates. Every single Dem senate candidate should be forced to go on the record and state they will not vote for him as majority leader.

They couldn’t let us bask in the joy of victory for even 1 week.
All they gave us was 5 days. Couldn’t even get us to a week of being hopeful. All that goodwill and joy and happiness that maybe the Democratic Party really can do something right, all of it tossed in the trash pile. Sigh…

I am so furious right now.
AGs across the country fought to get SNAP benefits.
Federal workers suffered with weeks of no pay.
Millions of people showed up to protest Trump.
Democrats showed up in record numbers at the polls to say 'we've got your back!'
And you caved for literally nothing.

Watching election returns tonight is making me realize that 2024 was significantly more traumatizing than I realized lol.
Kind of surreal to watch an election where the worst people you know don't win every horrible thing they've ever wanted.

Banning VPNs sets a dangerous precedent.
It gives governments and corporations more power to decide when and how we can practice free speech, while eroding privacy and limiting access to information.

It's getting scary out there. Cities are creating surveillance networks to hand over to ICE & the White House has dropped all guardrails against siphoning all data from people's phones.
Oakland PD wants to join Flock’s sprawling surveillance network, which means connecting public & private systems including Ring doorbells, businesses and drones that will fuel 🧊dirty work.

They refer to this facility as “work-conditioned housing,” but we simply call it what it is: modern-day internment.
