At least one million human beings will be forcefully removed from their land. What kind of person thinks this is going to make anyone safer?

The @demsocialists.bsky.social conference happening at the same time as @netrootsnation.bsky.social is emblematic of why the left can't win.

We can't even organize our own base in the same space for the conversations that need to be happening in order to win.

Thank you @booker.senate.gov for taking the floor and showing your indomitable spirit and fight -breaking the record for the longest Senate speech
I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

The world's richest person is targeting me & other teachers because we are fighting for vital federal education programs that help families & students. They attack because they want tax cuts for the rich. Stop taking money from poor kids & kids with disabilities.

As we argued to investors about our members' pension funds, Elon Musk is acting like an angry toddler on the internet instead of protecting Tesla shareholders. This behavior wouldn't even fly in our classrooms, so it shouldn’t fly for billionaires running our government.

These are the words of an extremist. At the moment we should band together to condemn domestic terrorism, this guy incites fear against teachers. Shame on him. Students and teachers deserve better.
OK Schools Chief Ryan Walters says that public school teachers are the ones responsible for domestic terrorism. He says teachers have turned classrooms into “terrorist training camps” by indoctrinating students to “hate America.”
