Today, on Holocaust Remembrance Day and the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, I urge folks to reflect on the climate of hate and dehumanization that can lead to something so monstrous.
Let us rededicate ourselves to caring for one another and standing up to hate.

I second this! Ben Wikler is absolutely the guy we need in this moment to help lead the DNC.
We’re proud to endorse @benwikler.bsky.social for DNC chair!
Ben is the real deal, and Indivisibles know that he is the leader our party needs to take the fight to Trump and MAGA (and to ensure that grassroots voices are heard).

Thank you to @andysmithmn.bsky.social and all the other DFL reps who are standing up against this power grab by the MN GOP!
We are still working.
“Democrats are asking for something so simple from the Republicans — honor the will of the voters. Until Republicans make that commitment, we will continue to focus on doing work in our districts. Free and fair elections are worth fighting for."

This is an issue in both parties. I would love to see the Bipartisan Restoring Faith in Government Act actually go through. However, with the incoming administration and our current Congress’s makeup this seems pretty unlikely.

Yup.
I don't where this all ends up, but I don't think a democracy in which only one of the two major parties is committed to peaceful transition of power is particularly sustainable!

Any second now trickle down economics should start working for the rest of us… 🙄
America's richest 10% now hold 60% of the nation's wealth.
The bottom half of America? It holds just 6%.
Wealth inequality is eating this country alive.
