Yes!!!!
It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.

Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.

Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Jefferies has been very disappointing. The guy can't read a room???
Happening now: protesters are outside the Fine Arts Building on Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago this evening.

People are in line to see House of Reps Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries for an event tonight promoting his recently released book.

Crowd chanting at them, "we don't need a book tour!"

Illinois looks very different in 2025 than it did in 2019.

We've passed six balanced budgets with nine credit upgrades, invested in education, driven economic growth, strengthened our social safety network, reformed the criminal justice system, and rebuilt our infrastructure.

I think proposing to ensure fired workers get compensation IS doing something. Sure, the bill will get nowhere. But Dems have to show they’re looking out for people. Saying it isn’t enough, proposing a law is something more concrete.

Could someone place an order for 100 more Jasmine Crocketts for overnight delivery to the Democratic Party

thx in advance
Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

It’s amazing how smart people like Ezra Klein fail to see the significance of the Eric Adams case. In an operational democracy, it would indeed be a disaster for the president; in our current autocratic logic, it could very well make Trump stronger.

Also deafening and shameful in their silence: our four living presidents, especially the Republican one who should have not been a total coward & endorsed Harris in October. Where are they?
An excellent question. Where are the Fortune 500 & Wall Street CEOs? Where are the university presidents? Where are the civil society leaders? Not just speaking out specifically in defense of their institutions & democracy, but also about 🇺🇸's global interests? The silence is deafening & shameful.
we are gutting out competitive advantages and the stakeholders of our democracy don't care? what the fuck is wrong with america's elites?

It must be quite a thing to find out the "parasite class" you've been urging them to get rid of...is you.

Great, we forget how wonderful cartoons are to get across a point. The use of political cartoons are overlooked to explain history.

Conflict of interest? The State Department’s procurement forecast lists Tesla as the recipient of the largest expected contract, with Marco Rubio’s department planning to purchase $400 million worth of “Armored Tesla” vehicles.

Sorry from the rest of us from Georgia. Between this idiot "buddy"Carter and MTG I've never been so embarrassed to be from Georgia.
There are no words for this. This can’t really be happening.
