Namby/Pamby 2026 will not save democracy.
We need fighters, reformers, and passionate progressives who will demand real change, real accountability, and real consequences.

This is could well be a historic midterm for Democrats.
Don’t waste it on centrists who won’t come through when it matters. Run vocal progressives.
You won’t end Trumpism without anti-corruption crusaders and warriors for social and economic justice who believe in taxes & big, universal programs.

Those claiming Dems should retreat on racial justice aren't hard-headed realists, they're pushing against the electoral tide rather than leaning into it. The story of Gen Z isn't about racist backlash or red-pilled young men. It's the most racially progressive generation in American history. 🧵

More than 10 years ago, I was an Army Colonel assigned to SOUTHCOM. I cannot EVEN imagine what is going through the minds of our servicemembers & civilians that serve at that HQ. The cherry on top is the HQ is directly across the street from DT's Doral golf course. Don't let this story disappear📣
Looks like we’re going to war with Venezuela to distract from the Epstein files.

My daughter is 15, a child with a baby face whom I won’t even put in an Uber by herself. Just utterly disgusting from the same people who have spent years demonizing trans people as predators for daring even to exist. What are we even doing right now?

This person was infected with COVID twice and recovered. A 3rd infection brought manageable long COVID symptoms, but they were still able to work. After a 4th infection a few months ago, they haven’t recovered at all — showing how repeated infections can cause severe, lasting damage.

Thomas Jefferson was 44 when he started in creeping on 14-year-old Sally Hemings. And Sally, who was enslaved, shared a father with Martha Wayles Jefferson—Tom's wife.
He's been dead literally centuries and the US refuses to reckon squarely with what this meant for definitions of American greatness

The next step is demanding real leadership in the Senate — leadership that fights for working families instead of surrendering to an authoritarian regime. House Democrats are already joining Indivisibles in these calls, and the public is on the side of those who fight back against the Trump regime.

So something this article mentions that I want to footstomp for folks that don’t work with the military: it’s an “up or out” institution where if you don’t get promoted, your career is over.
