I think it's time we started a Gofundme to raise money to be given to whoever lawfully first reveals the Epstein files.

I’m glad she’s talking about it, but don’t feel sorry for her. MTG “supported and helped get him elected” while Trump was smearing and threatening other people. She didn’t acknowledge the danger and depravity until she was on the receiving end of his malice.
MTG: “.. “I am now being contacted by private security firms with warnings for my safety as a hot bed of threats against me are being fueled and egged on by the most powerful man in the world. .. The man I supported and helped get elected.”

Anti-DEI is just pro-white supremacy. They can sure twist the language.
Disturbing news out of Auburn University, where the admin is pressuring professors to sign a statement saying they're complying with an "anti-DEI" law and TPUSA is holding a rally and trying to record classes.

I hear faculty are terrified to sign, worried this is a pretense for mass firings.
Auburn University requires faculty to review courses to comply with anti-DEI law
Auburn's provost office posted a web site on how to comply with state and federal DEI mandates on Oct. 31.

Jeb Hibbs for School Board!
Jeb Hibbs has seen the past and current challenges faced by the School Board and district, including efforts to retain great teachers and moments where Board members' actions didn't fully consider the impact on schools, teachers, staff, and students.

A great candidate!
AJ Cecil-Starlin for School Board decided it was time to stop feeling disappointed and instead be the change she wanted to see. That realization led her to take the leap and declare her candidacy for the Sioux City School Board.

It’s an idea.
Portland 🤔
How it would work if everyone stocked up on food for a week or 2 & didn't come out of their homes?
No shopping..no eating out..
If possible.. no work.. no school.. simply stay in place until the 'powerful' idiots realize this was stupid to activate a dictator's military order to Portland.

A quilt made and donated by my brother, a perfectionist and extremely good guy!
There’s only one place where you can get this unique quilt—at our biggest fundraiser of the year, the Harry Hopkins Dinner.

But you can’t do it without a ticket!

A great sin of the post-Obama years was the decision to let Trump’s aberrance speak for itself, in implicit contrast to Democrats' normalcy. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social is (finally) pointing to a better way. He shouldn't let anyone talk him out of it, and other Dems should take his approach farther.
Your Rectitude Isn't Helping
To heighten the contradictions, you must first expose them.

Start fighting like Newsom and watch the donations flow.
The DNC has fallen far behind in the cash race.

Big donors have pulled back from giving to the party, and small donors are not growing enough to make up the gap.

Those in blue states please call your Governors and encourage them to follow what Gavin Newsom in California is doing regarding gerrymandering. This is it folks! We are sliding in to Hitlers home base. No do overs! The time for action is NOW.

He diminishes the value of everything, including the presidency.
Who here honestly believes that any so-called “award” Trump ever grabs will mean a damn thing? Not one carries legitimacy. Every single plaque, trophy, or medal they pin on him is nothing more than a flashing neon sign of how small… how weak… and how pathetically insecure he really is.

Agreed?

I wish @governor.ca.gov could be Senate minority leader, House minority leader, head of the DNC and governor of every blue state all at once. In the absence of that, Democrats need to amplify and replicate what he’s doing!
@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "God damnit. Enough. Democrats, stop being weak. Step up. These guys have been dominant in the narrative. They have been defining the terms of the debate. It's time to get off our damn heels, onto our front toes... It's time for us to all band together."

I’m in a messaging group with liberal friends. We love @governor.ca.gov’s fearlessness and approach. What are you hearing from your Democratic friends?
