Lover of books, plants, bichons, and my family (some more than others). I remember how hard we had to fight for a simple bankaccount, credit cards and doing away with the draft.

We are headed toward martial law and the end of our democracy and I will never forgive the people in power who every step of the way told us it was all just fine and everything would work out swell as long as we kept pretending that nothing we have actually seen with our own two eyes was happening

Voters want a Democratic Party that fights back against the forces that have rigged the system and made their lives more difficult.
A party that comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable —not a party that buckles and capitulates.
When will party leadership learn this lesson?

Listen Kaine, Hassan, King, Cortez-Masto, Durbin, Shaheen, Rosen, and Fetterman. You're NOT gonna take away my 2025 election joy. We voted in that election for folks to FIGHT for us. That doesn't include YOU.
YOU are what we voted AGAINST last Tuesday. So I'm gonna hang on to that.

Let's start by stop calling it Obamacare. It's the ACA. And Mike Johnson since you're so smart why don't you and your Republican cohorts come up with a different health care plan that excludes insurance companies. It's called universal healthcare.

I'm sorry, but Elon Musk's suggestion that someday we'll replace prisons with Tesla robots who are assigned to follow convicted criminals around and stop them from doing subsequent crimes is some pretty dumb shit, even by Elon's standards.

Please don’t think this beltway game of having retiring Dem senators vote yes while everyone else votes no is going to shield leadership from the end result. We see what is happening and can’t be fooled by those games.

From street marches to court battles to the ballot box - we’ve challenged the power of this exceptionally unpopular president.
The lesson from each success we've had is that we need to ramp the political pressure up, always up, not back down, now more than ever.

The GOP bragged they’d never negotiate — that they didn’t need Democrats.
Then they shut down the government, threw parties at Mar-a-Lago, and kept Congress on vacation while Americans missed paychecks.
Polls were turning on them.

Most of their charges are state charges, so this doesn’t actually help them. It’s gross, but it doesn’t really move the needle.
