When you hate brown and black people more than you hate pedophiles, you don't get to call yourself the party of family values. Full stop.

This bill isn't just on all the cowardly Republicans who voted for it in both the house and Senate. It's on every voter who supported a Republican at the ballot box, and it's on every potential voter who sat out for whatever reason.

Democracy dies to raucous applause.

It is important to remember that in times of great strife, look at the deeds of those around you for the good in the world. Despair may not be avoidable, but it can be fought with love, kindness, and a persistent drive onward.

And wine.

🆘 CALL TO ACTION 🆘 Please contact your congress person & ask them to stop the SAVE Act. It could disenfranchise eligible voters - ie people who changed their names in marriage, young voters, naturalized citizens and tribal residents.

Not only did Susan Crawford win by ~10 points, but she also shifted every single Wisconsin county towards the left. A major rebuke of Trump & Elon.

NEW: French far-right leader Marine Le Pen was banned from running for public office after a court found her guilty of embezzling European Parliament funds.

A Paris court also sentenced Le Pen—who was leading in the polls for the 2027 French election—to 4 years in prison, with 2 years suspended

Re-watching #Andor season 1. Only this time, I'm treating it as a documentary on how to #resist and I'm taking notes.

There's a reason why they're freaking out over what's happening to Tesla.

It's working.

There's a reason they're threatening absurd consequences.

They need to scare you back into civility and compliance.

As long as we're reluctant to cross the lines they ignore daily, they have the upper hand.

"Radicals" in history are only if you're on the losing side. If you fight hard and win, you're a hero/savior/patriot.

I have no intention of being a Radical.

The Democratic Party is gone. 10 spineless cowards couldn't even put up a show of a fight. Couldn't manage to oppose the tyrant and the fool. My only hope is whatever rises from the ashes of this pile of cowards is a coalition of people ready to fight tooth and nail to save whatever is left.

A YES on cloture is a YES for the bill.

Do not let anyone play games with you.

🚨 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.
