The opinion of a random person you just encountered online is not, in fact, the universally embraced belief of "the Left" or "Liberals" or whoever else you'd like to paint with a broad brush.

if dems want messaging help, stop telling people you're "fighting back." it sounds like you're being mugged. call off the podcaster search, take your ridiculous money pile and try opening some food banks and free clinics. hurricanes are coming and the feds have no plan. looks like an opening to me.

ONE PERSON is responsible for a huge # of book challenges in SC. ONE PERSON is responsible for 40% of book challenges in FL. (His name is Bruce.)
A single voice absolutely makes a difference. Use yours and raise it for good. For god's sake, are you going to let fucking Bruce run the show?!

Thanks to @aclusc.bsky.social and @authorsabb.bsky.social working in SC to fight bans. The challenges have been brought by 1 parent who earlier filed 97 challenges in Beaufort County, nearly all of them denied. She's re-challenging now that a state law passed in July 2024 makes banning easy.

When AOC and Adam Kinzinger are both furious at Chuck Schumer, for the exact same reason, maybe you need to give up the idea this is just a backlash coming from far left activists.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.
Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.
Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

A tepid centrist perspective with no clear message is not going to help us oppose the far right.

Democrats,
You don't need presidential aspirations to lead.
You don't need the establishment's approval
You don't need to have all the answers
People are anxious for the future of our country. Fearful for the fate of democracy. Angry at the oligarchs and their insatiable greed
Step up and lead.

For me, fighting fascism has nothing to do with thinking I’ll win. I don’t fight because there’s an inevitable outcome, I fight because I couldn’t live with myself if I didn’t do something.

Look. If AOC can do this and knit at the same time... you can make a few phone calls. I believe in you.
The calls are making a difference. Regardless, I promise YOU will feel better doing something than doing nothing. (Doomposting = doing nothing, btw.)

🧵 Blue folks in Red states, we really need you to call your electeds. Watch AOC.
✅ From your phone: 5 Calls even offers useful scripts to follow, based on topics. 5calls.org
✅ Hit 'em w/email them via: democracy.io
✅ Locate all your officials, fed, state (such as your AG!), local.:

This 3-post thread is based on a series of AOC Instagram stories she posted tonight, explaining the importance and value of calling your House Representative and Senators, EVEN/ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE REPUBLICANS.
Please watch and share.

I'm going to say it again:
Immigration is good, actually.
There are no qualifications on this statement other than "don't be a comemierda" and that goes no matter what.
"Legal" and "illegal" are artificial categories imposed by States with arbitrary rules, usually with suboptimal outcomes.
