New here! Bailed on birdy when Rocketman took over. Liberal AF, queer, ME/CFS spoonie, and fluid artist.
One of the most important things that Democrats in Republican states can do is to show up and speak at town halls. Back when Republicans were trying to repeal the ACA last time, I forced my Rep to admit that he was going to make my health care (and others there) unaffordable. Did not go down well.

Hi! Glad someone thought of this! It’ll be nice to form a community of like-minded women here, rather than Facebook.

I have found some great starter packs! They’ve been really helpful. I haven’t seen the maga block list, but I’ll look for it. We’ve got to keep this amazing place as troll-free as we can.

Thanks! Yes, it’s exactly like that. During his last administration, I did all that I knew to do. I live in the reddest of red dots in Texas, and founded an Indivisible group for surrounding communities here, but we never gained the momentum we hoped for. I want to learn more that I can do this time

For the last week, I have been in a really dark place until I discovered Bluesky. I can’t even begin to say how refreshing it is to hear from so many people ready to fight the good fight. This place is like a light in the dark. Here for the pet pics and the #resistance.
