This government doesn't represent us, and it's time for us to get aggressive about a nationwide #LaborStrike, #TaxStrike, and mass #boycotts. Our founders dumped tea for less than this. Start by writing "EXEMPT" on your W-4.

At this point, @rbreich.bsky.social, I've read George Washington's farewell address, and he was right about what party politics would do. I don't think we should have political parties anymore because, in throughput, they're another layer between the voter and democracy, so no, I don't want that.
Voters want a Democratic Party that fights back against the forces that have rigged the system and made their lives more difficult.

A party that comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable —not a party that buckles and capitulates.

When will party leadership learn this lesson?

Yeah, there's a lot of service jobs like that folks take for granted, and you can tell by the way they argue that those jobs aren't important enough to merit unionization, benefits, or being paid a living wage that keeps up with inflation and rises in the cost of living in exchange for doing them.
it's not that i ever doubted that being a barista was a skilled position, but my year-long effort to try to produce a half-decent latte at home has convinced me that a good barista is easily more skilled than virtually every c-suite executive on the planet

Great. Our allies aren't sharing military intel with us anymore because they don't believe we can be trusted to behave responsibly with it.

Dean Baker, an economist, breaks down the financial throughput of Drumpf's policies using basic math. In short, Drumpf's bankrupting us like he did several of his businesses when they weren't as profitable as he wanted.

Yesterday, when Bovino announced ICE would be returning to Little Village today, some of us donated and fundraised to buy out street vendors in the neighborhood. This morning, volunteers hit the streets at 6:30 am, looking for vendors to buy out. Tamales make an excellent breakfast.

#Parties inherently *can't* represent anyone. It's another layer between the People and democracy. We need blind elections. Instead of campaigning and voting for someone, we should be reviewing CVs that include policy points and voting for the best CV. No names or pictures attached.
Authoritarianism can only succeed when democracy fails to deliver for working people.

Authoritarian parties can only succeed when the pro-democracy parties fail to fight for working people.

We need a new democracy and a new party system which can represent working people.

This Veterans Day, I’m thinking of the millions of Americans who have served in uniform — and how our government is failing them right now.

Words aren’t enough, we need actions. Fund the VA. Fund mental healthcare. And end endless wars.

Meanwhile, when it comes to moments where we think #MTG might be coming around, don't forget that she's an unhinged opportunist. She's not fighting for the people. She wants to take over #MAGA when Drumpf's done losing the base. She's still a problem.
Yep. There it is, that didn't take long.
I don't know who needs to hear this, but election interference IS a crime. In a normal world, we don't let criminals run amuck.

Drumpf and his minions killed a bunch of folks during #covid, too. Add the deaths from the issues surrounding the #EpsteinFiles, #healthcare, #abortion, #SNAP/ #EBT, #Palestine, #Ukraine, and #ICE / #DHS to that, and there's a *lot* of blood on these people's hands.

Mark Wolf, a Reagan (R) appointed judge, has resigned so he can speak out against Drumpf. My only qualm is that these resignations leave gaps for Drumpf to fill so he can stack the courts in his favor. Otherwise, I love the protest resignation.
Reagan Judge Says He Quit Bench to Speak Out Against Trump
A senior Reagan appointed trial judge said he resigned Friday in order to speak out against the Trump administration’s “assault on the rule of law.”

Let's talk about @schumer.senate.gov for a moment. Have y'all ever noticed how he's quick to capitulate to the (R)s? Like maybe he's a DINO? Like maybe he doesn't actually care about the People's will? Also, you know those Baileys he likes to talk about? Yeah, they're fiction.

Look, @senatedemocrats.bsky.social, folks like @schumer.senate.gov are on the chopping block for their centrism and inaction. DINOs will be made into dino nuggies and replaced by more competent and dedicated folks. Hold the line against that Marie Antoinette looking mfkr in the Oval Office. #NoKings
@senatedemocrats.bsky.social DON’T YOU DARE BACK DOWN!! We will REMOVE EVERY ONE OF YOU UP FOR REELECTION IN 2026!!!!

Yeah, everyone freaking out at her for "betraying us" needs to chill. She knew that if she didn't do it this way, her colleagues were going to make worse choices that left us hungrier for longer. This forces due process to happen instead of leaving it delayed while folks starve. Cut her some slack.
At first I thought that she was playing politics, and I was disheartened.

She didn’t vote against SNAP. She issued a temporary stay to let the appeals process work. Her move protects long term benefits by ensuring legal decisions are not reversed. She’s upholding the Constitution. It’s due process.

The repost has an image of what PotUS and Co were eating at Mar-a-Lago on the day #EBT didn't re-up. It also has a link to a DailyBeast article detailing how disparate voters' lives are from his, how disconnected he is from the problems he causes.

Where's the light at the end of the pier for us?
While many Americans stood in food lines today, The Great Fatsby was enjoying a buffet that included expensive seafood.

Are we great yet?
