Unapologetically far left, proud Portlander. Housing as a human right, healthcare for all, tax the rich. Anti-fascist, pro-democracy, pro-cat.
This hit home. Dems, quit the Biden age spiral. We’ve got bigger fights. Eyes forward.

I called my senators today and told them I want Cory Booker to be the senate minority leader.
We can’t hold hearings. We don’t have subpoena power. We can’t pass budgets. But we CAN filibuster, and we CAN change party leadership.

A much needed win for democracy
Turns out just because you have a shit ton of money doesn’t mean people like you—or want to vote for your candidate.
Elon Musk tried to buy Wisconsin's Supreme Court. He lost.
Susan Crawford's victory means liberals will preserve their majority on the court.

- Withdraw unanimous consent from all Senate business until constitutional rule was restored
- Refuse to vote for any legislation until constitutional rule was restored
- Boycott as a caucus until constitutional rule was restored

This is not a drill. This is not just Sunday. This is the ’dictator for a day’ guy publicly announcing on a storied legacy media outlet that he plans to overturn the US Constitution and American democracy as we know it.
President Trump did not rule out the possibility of seeking a third term in the White House, which is prohibited by the Constitution under the 22nd Amendment, saying in an exclusive interview with NBC News that there were methods for doing so and clarifying that he was “not joking.”

President Donald Trump said in a Sunday-morning phone call that he was “not joking” about a third term, adding that “it is far too early to think about it.”

The US invasion of Iraq began on this day 22 years ago.
In the years since, the United States spent roughly $10 trillion on the so-called "war on terror."
Can you imagine if we had instead invested those funds in climate, health care, housing, and education?

More Democrats need to follow Ivey’s lead. It’s past time for Schumer to go
Glenn Ivey has become the first Democrat to publicly propose Chuck Schumer's ousting following the Senate leader's support of a Republican spending plan.
Dem Rep. Calls for Schumer to Go as Party Civil War Spirals
“I think he had a great, long-standing career,” Rep. Glenn Ivey told a town hall Tuesday, before adding that Sen. Chuck Schumer may need to change jobs.
