From street marches to court battles to the ballot box - we’ve challenged the power of this exceptionally unpopular president.
The lesson from each success we've had is that we need to ramp the political pressure up, always up, not back down, now more than ever.

Of course explanations have been offered (air travel over Thanksgiving, they think Trump will never cave, whatever) but we don't know, and when those of us organizing at the local grassroots level *don't understand at all* why elected "opposition leaders" are doing what they're doing, that is bad.

Mamdani, brilliant. The appointment of Dean Fuleihan - Mamdani just put up guardrails so Big Money can take a few breathes and realize they'll be staying rich.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.
We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

Dems have spent the past two months saying they're fighting to address the crisis of spiking healthcare costs and now they're caving for a deal that does nothing to address healthcare costs ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work."
The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting.
And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.

Please don’t think this beltway game of having retiring Dem senators vote yes while everyone else votes no is going to shield leadership from the end result. We see what is happening and can’t be fooled by those games.

Cull the Democratic Party. Systematically chip away all the weak, corporate centrists and corrupt, gutless elected officials who refuse to fight and instead suck at the teat of the oligarchy.

disabled people deserve to be able to feel desirable. I struggle with feeling “ugly” due to my disabilities, and I wish that we talked about that feeling more.
