For the people who live in red districts, what’s the most effective way to sway your representative to vote for releasing the Epstein files?

I’ll support any candidate who primaries you, if you don’t sign?

Can someone tell the Christian Nationalists that JESUS WAS LITERALLY A REFUGEE

…and he was woke AF. If Jesus came back today, the Trump regime would deport him

If the DNC actually listened to its base, they’d have no problem raising money.

Until they align themselves with what their base wants, they’d can expect to be broke. We are done with corporate dems and AIPAC. The DNC isn’t listening!

Endorse progressives like Mamdani or go extinct ☠️

Since Trump’s “Golden Age” turned out to be fools gold, I’d suppose we could settle for Newsom ushering in the American “Silver Age”

And by silver, I mean Silver Fox 😉

Not sure who needs to hear this, but there are only 2 sides right now:
fascist or anti-fascist.

Defeating fascism requires imperfect allies.

You can get on board with CA & Newsom….or take the high road all the way to a Trump dictatorship.

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social if you want to be 100% sure California voters vote YES on the new maps, you should commit to making AOC the speaker of the house

Literally zero Dem voters want a Speaker Jeffries.

AOC gets the progressives back (who you also need to get the nomination in 2028)

Do itttt

THIS WEEK the GOP has:

1️⃣ Militarized DC to use force against the American people
BTW they are still in LA

2️⃣ Our most senior military official posted a video about the repeal of the 19th amendment (women’s right to vote)

3️⃣ Asked SCOTUS to repeal marriage equality

…and it’s only Tuesday morning.

There are a lot of Penske locations on Google Maps. Fascist companies deserve 1 star ⭐️

Vote with your wallet, economic pressure works!

I could vote for this guy in 2028
My optimism about our ability to save our democracy comes from my experience. No matter how broken or bruised our democracy is today, I have seen it work and I know it can work again. I have seen the power of collective action. I know it can save us now.

Such an important point:

“Progressive policies…are very popular in this country…but you have a segment of the Democratic Party that keeps trying to convince progressives we’re losing elections because their policies need to be more moderate.” Matt Dowd

I wish more understood this.

A confession…

When BTC & Marc Elias say “Five Alarm Fire” we need to listen up

To my fellow white people: if you consider yourself an ally to people of color, you better get LOUD about this

The GOP is trying to water down voter representation - specifically for black & brown people

Silence = acceptance

All I think about when I hear people say that it’s bad taste to dance on Hulk Hogan’s grave is that Emmett Till’s monument had to be replaced with a 500lb steel bulletproof monument because white people simply won’t stop riddling it with bullets. So now it just has tons of dents. From bullets.

Probably the best interview I’ve seen of @governor.ca.gov

There are no perfect allies - he has my vote & my support! ✊🇺🇸

If Newsom wants the whole base’s 2028 support, he should publicly:

1) explain/regret the terrible podcast strategy

2) voice support for the trans community

Newsom: They play by a different set of rules . And we can sit back and act as if we have some moral superiority and watch this almost 250 year experiment be washed away. We are not going to allow that to happen. We have agency. We can shape the future

What if members of SCOTUS are named in the Epstein files?

Trump is obviously in them too, but it would explain why they always rule in his favor 🤔

@ossoff.bsky.social plz run for president in 2028
America has the most corrupt political system in the Western world.

Talarico speaking on Rogan: I'm a Christian, and I think there is no more dangerous form of government than theocracy—because the only thing worse than a tyrant is a tyrant who thinks they’re on a mission from God.

Since the law doesn’t matter anymore anyway, the Epstein victims should break their NDA’s and start naming names

There has to be a few countries who would grant them asylum

They shouldn’t have to, but it’s the only way the names will be revealed
