First they came for the immigrants, and I spoke out, because I’ve read the damn poem before and I know how it ends.

Trump’s plan to reverse Obama’s 2015 decision to name Alaska’s tallest peak Denali has drawn backlash. The name, meaning “The High One,” honors the Koyukon Athabascan people. Why undo this?

Last night, Democrats did the responsible thing and ensured that our government would remain open, our workers would receive pay during Christmas, and disaster relief aid would be funded.

Virginians are better off today thanks to Democratic leadership in D.C.

They’ve earned it! And sadly, it’s going to end up hurting their voters, who don’t have a clue what they voted for.

The hosts at Meidas are reliable reporters of law and politics. They are also excellent humans.
What really struck me in that moment was that it wasn’t just Ben in the room with President Biden. It was all of you. The Meidas Mighty. Ben may have been speaking, but it was your values, hard work, and tireless advocacy that were at the heart of that conversation. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

Musk CANNOT be Speaker of the House and third in line to the presidency.

He is insanely dangerous to the world and our country.

Rand Paul is playing with fire even if he’s joking. I’m sure holocaust survivors would like a word.

WTF

do I have this right? the GOP blew up a budget deal because President Musk demanded it, and then they clownfucked a second bill into failure, because they're incompetent imbeciles? and this is somehow the Democrats' fault? nice try, morons, but we're not idiots over here

The biggest divide in America today is not between “right” and “left,” or between Republicans and Democrats.

It’s between democracy and oligarchy.

The old labels — “right” and “left” — prevent most people from noticing they’re being shafted.

Know the truth.

Every Democratic lawmaker needs to be on television, radio, and social media hammering the shit out of Trump's embarrassing failure to get a continuing resolution passed with his cruel budget priorities. Make it hurt. Call out their incompetence. Show some goddamn fire.

Tonight, I am seething with a heat of 500 suns at CNN for their *month* long DAILY coverage of Biden’s age while completely ignoring Trump is 78 years old.

1) Why the fuck is CNN on Bluesky?

2) Why do they have so many followers?

Please repost and follow us so we can leave them in the dust!

Jeffries: In our nation's history, 25% of our nation's debt was accumulated during the four years of the former president, 25%. How dare you lecture America about fiscal responsibility ever.

They are going full oligarchy to the sound of silent consent. When fascism takes over, it is not with a bang but a gradual normalization of corruption, nepotism, and organized crime.

They'll slow boil democracy until nothing is left. The time to act is now, the time to protest is overdue.

I don't agree on everything Sanders says, but I agree with him here

Oligarchs are our common adversary

"Strangely enough, the term 'oligarchy' is very rarely used to describe what's happening in the United States or in fact, what's happening around the world."

IT'S STARTED.
ABC News announced it's not only settled a civil lawsuit with Donald Trump for $15 million - THEY'VE ISSUED A WRITTEN APOLOGY to him. In announcing the settlement to Trump, ABC has declared to us all that it is compromised. It is no longer legitimate.

I am such a believer in this. Down-ballot is the way.

It’s also how we build a sustainable future of good leaders and infrastructure to elect and support them, as well as the movements they represent.

We don’t just need strong candidates. We need strong organizers, managers, CoS, grassroots, etc.
I’ve been organizing in rural areas since the first Trump administration. Rural Dems can make the difference in races at the top of the ticket.

Republicans have all of the electorate they’re ever going to have. Organize to turn out 5% to 10% more Dems in rural spaces. Watch what happens…

Meanwhile, on Minnesota's Iron Range where Democrats rarely ever lost, Republicans now dominate. And women leaders are rare. But...this organizational meeting will be held at a bar that once launched more than a few Democrats to power, including the time one of the owners ran for U.S. Senate.
