Old school democtratic leadership needs to STEP ASIDE!!!
I ran for DNC vice chair after massive losses in 2024 because I believed we needed to change our party. Leadership disagreed with my work to primary asleep-at-the-wheel incumbents and challenge the status quo. Now, they are spiking an autopsy of the election that gave us Trump 2.0. (1/2)
BREAKING: The Democratic National Committee will NOT release its long-awaited autopsy on Trump's 2024 win. The report is completed but Dem leaders decided it could distract from their winning streak, so it will remain secret. Not good.

There will be infuriating stories about Trump and Republicans’ “triumph.” But together, we can write tomorrow’s headlines: National fury. The coming political payback. And we can lay the groundwork for the headline on the AM of November 4, 2026: Republicans wiped out in historic electoral tsunami.

Yikes.
I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

this is sick and immoral on so many levels. and even more disgusting and revolting is the fact that this is all one big reality show publicity stunt aimed at serving that heinous man's ego and his desire to be seen as a "tough guy" and to be feared. #fuckoffDT
We do not know who these deportees are, why deported, if they have criminal histories. Tattoos aren’t evidence of a crime. Trump says they’re all criminals but without due process we simply do not know. Based on Trump’s illegal deportations of others, I believe he’s lying #Voices4Victory #Fascism
The video of Trump’s deportees arriving in El Salvador is horrific.
This is 21st century Nazism.
Identities concealed, trafficked to a foreign labour camp. No due process, no evidence of crime. Dehumanised.
Where is the global outrage?
The crime is historic; the normalisation catastrophic.

🧵 The passage of this dangerous Republican funding bill is a travesty. The ongoing administrative coup led by Donald Trump and Elon Musk is a constitutional crisis. The authoritarians stripping away our rights and trying to loot the government to enrich the billionaires are a five-alarm fire.

Our Democratic senators need to step up and call for new leadership. Send your senators an email and urge them to publicly demand that Sen. Schumer steps aside.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.
Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.
Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.
TODAY is the showdown.

AOC: It's really because Republicans— they’re very thin skinned and they're very sensitive, and their feelings are very easily hurt. And so they have to vote on censure resolutions.

if this kinda sh*t doesn't get folx in the street i don't know what will.
Trump, Hegseth, Gaetz, RFK Jr and Mills have made it partisan to oppose domestic violence.
The DC US Attorney, a 2020 election denier who referred to the DOJ as "Trumps' [sic] lawyers," is refusing to charge a GOP Congressman with domestic violence despite a police referral & clear evidence of assault.

Trump has dismantled the Aviation Security Advisory Committee. He has fired hundreds of FAA workers who did everything from maintenance and mechanics to aviation safety — and he’s threatening even more.
He is putting our safety at risk. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.
We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO
