Hey friends, I'm doing my best to make it easy for folks to come here and find their communities. I've got two starter packs so far - one with general left-ish activists and leaders, and one with folks working on union issues. Links in chat, and if you'd like to be added to one let me know!

Trump: "I want the money to go into an account for people where they buy their own health insurance. It's so good. The insurance will be better. It'll cost less. Everybody is gonna be happy. They're gonna feel like entrepreneurs. They're actually able to go out & negotiate their own insurance"

People gossiped about JD Vance and Erika Kirk. Then, inevitably, came the "don't gossip" scoldings.

Now we have Trump blasting air traffic controllers, telling them they hate this country for not showing up without pay.

Outlets like Politico want you to believe the calls to #DumpChuck are some kind of "purity test." Mike Levin saying this demonstrates that the mood among Democrats across the spectrum is about as sour as it could possibly be.
Chuck Schumer has not met this moment and Senate Democrats would be wise to move on from his leadership.

When the moment came to blow apart a universal moment of energy, optimism, forward momentum for the anti-Trump, pro-democracy movement, say often:
It wasn't progressives or DSA. It wasn't the young people running against the gerontocracy, or primarying those captured by the institution.

Do not help your opposition is politics 101. Do not help fascists who have turned government into a weapon against our people is human 101. So is, don't draw a line you claim represents your unwavering principles and hurl yourself across it.
Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.
