Labor rights, voting rights, civil rights, and human rights rise and fall together... open.substack.com/pub/advocacy...
Ali Velshi blocked me!! Best thing all day… He tried to come outside on some bullshit and is now blocking errbody telling him to self reflect and kick rocks This was after accusing someone else of “head in the sand” behavior… can’t think of more “head in the sand” behavior than blocking errbody
I been telling people since November 5 to turn MSNBC off! MSNBC and their constant bashing and concern trolling of Democrats is why we are in the jam we're in today! Turn that mess off!
Enthusiasm grows when voters see a party fighting and winning. (And Democrats are doing both- fighting back on redistricting attacks and special election wins). Constant gloom, both sides coverage, and magnified Dem drama don’t inspire turnout — they smother it.
Down-ballot Democrats barely exist in MSNBC coverage. Meanwhile Fox elevates every random GOP backbencher into a national figure. That’s a huge imbalance.
Every Dem family fight gets magnified into “the party in disarray,” while GOP fractures are brushed aside. It divides us when we need to project strength.
MSNBC has made Trump the center of the universe, giving him endless oxygen while Democratic wins barely get a mention. That doesn’t build confidence, it feeds despair.
.@velshi.com “Head in the sand”? Please. Part of the problem is limp news coverage that turns every Dem wobble into a five-alarm fire while treating GOP extremism as background noise. That’s what depresses our base.
New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!
I’m hyped! 🥰🎾🔥👏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾
On #LaborDay we celebrate the fight of workers throughout history who've laid it all on the line for the pay and conditions we deserve. We also fully recognize that we're living through a historic moment for workers right now!
Much love to Taylor Townsend... heck of a singles run 👏🏽👏🏽 #USOpen #OnToDoubles
Kamala Harris would not be secretly trying to deport innocent children to Guatemala if she was our president instead right now.
Well during the timeouts of your 60 yrs of “sports playing” you should’ve done your homework. It’s not a Dem leadership problem, white people have a nasty habit of voting for whiteness at the expense of everyone else. This is a 60 yr history of them doing that.😒

Leftists: “DEMOCRATS NEED TO DO SOMETHING!” Gavin Newsom: “Oh, hi. I have a plan to Gerrymander California’s House districts to the point where Republicans in the state would almost be completely irrelevant.” Leftists: “NOT LIKE THAT!!
lol um.... this is a first but THANKS FOR MAKING #TheDoubleTax audiobook a #1 NEW RELEASE for Women in Business and top five release in all other categories. I promise you, the audiobook is so fun, sincere, and just a vibe. I am so excited for listeners!!!! Pre-order: annagifty.com!
I had his back when they demoted him to weekends and then he started hanging out with the wrong crowd and started spouting off insane things and I forgot he existed. Seems he's still huffing that white savior nonsense.
I hope everyone is grounded in reality.
When unions are strong, our communities and our country are strong. Every person in our nation has benefited from the labor movement. This Labor Day, we celebrate the workers and unions who have fought for fair wages, safe workplaces, and sick leave for all of us.
I got blocked by Ali Velshi (an MSNBC political commentator/reporter) for calling him and the media out. I find it hilarious that those in the media who build their shows on critiquing politicians e can’t take a little criticism themselves.
does your television have more than one channel? or an off button? you do not have to watch shit. you make everything worse by giving them ratings and continuing to pay their salaries. just watch something else. put yourself out of your own misery.
I'm so glad that I come from a people that realize that temper tantrums are not advocacy or activism.
Those 🍉 uncommitted folks can get bent forever.
A lil commotion for the kits Taylor Townsend wore in her singles run. I love that she took matters into her own hands when she couldn't get a sponsor. I've been waiting for this moment!! #USOpen
CHICAGO…
Jones: We have a presidential administration that has more outrage about the changing of the cracker barrel logo than they do about changing the policies that allow our children to be gunned down in school…
OC followers: There’s a billboard along the 55 in Orange right around the Katella exit that calls out Young Kim for being responsible for higher electricity prices. You’ll see it on the northbound side. Paying higher electricity prices? Young Kim did that. #CA40
“…I am infuriated that the Air Force plans to grant military funeral honors to Ashli Babbitt. She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it.” My latest in @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/honoring-a...
A Word from THEE Jamie Harrison. Y’all shoulda never let this brother go.
“Former Vice President Kamala Harris will receive protection from the California Highway Patrol.”
It never happens with GOP, but too damn often in our party folks try to build themselves up by tearing Dems down. You can demand better from us without pissing all over the house we’ve built together. I’m sick of it. If you make a name for yourself by trashing the party, I’m calling you out.
Hey leftists: you might as well leave Jaime Harrison alone, because we Black women will be all up in your asses. We have HAD it with you. The left expecting Black Dems to kowtow to them is starting to feel a lil too pre-1865 for my liking. This goes double for the media.
@lulamaybeholly.bsky.social check him out. I don't think it's your Assembly District, but maybe you know some people in that AD who can help him flip it.
Hi Shelby Girl!
WATCH — @jessicatarlov.bsky.social : “If a Democratic president were doing any of these things you would be losing your mind.” 🎯
Townsend d. Mirra Andreeva 7-5 6-2 Incredible moment for Taylor. Into the 2nd week of a Slam for the 2nd time in her career. Playing the best tennis of her life, without question. ✅1st top 10 win since 2023 ✅Won 9 of her last 11 matches Make way for Tay Tay. 🇺🇸❤️
We can't even play basketball 🏀 🤬
Excellent question.
I hope people realize how absolutely fucked this situation is. This isn’t normal. People are resigning all over the place because the government is mishandling our data, ruining our public health services, and generally making Americans less safe.
Good.
Quelle surprise. 🙄😒
The damage this man has done is incalculable.
Thank you! Too many people are like children and want to engage in magical thinking when It comes to politics instead of steadily working towards goals.

Message to Russia-supported, Dem-hating, racist and misogynist Bernie Sanders (I-Bernie Sanders): "You can't shit on us all the time. That's the problem that Bernie has." Thank you, Mr. Harrison.
Elections have consequences. Unless you're black, then Alabama apparently has the right to make you do the election over again, and make you wait to take your rightful place: apnews.com/article/alab...
I suggest you re-examine the numbers from the 2024 Election. It was close, but a slight majority did vote for this. This is why I keep trying to remind voters of the consequences of either their staying home or voting 3rd party. Either stopping Trump is important, or it isn't.
We're all just one moment away from a different life. One diagnosis, one crisis, or one accident away from a completely different life. Life doesn’t ask before it changes, so this is just a reminder to not take your health or physical abilities for granted.
Sadly necessary.
It’s also the workers who staff the businesses. The delivery people etc.
just tell them you're a smoker whatre they gonna do? test you for nicotine in your system at the CVS pharmacy counter?
I heard Los Angeles restaurants and small businesses in DTLA are really struggling since the raids.

Senator Susan Collins got an earful from protesters at a ribbon cutting ceremony in Searsport today.
Pretending not to hear the whole room chanting “shame” at her is the most Susan Collins things ever
Democrats flipped a Trump +11 state Senate seat in Iowa tonight, by a wide margin, continuing a streak of special election over-performances in the Hawkeye State and breaking the GOP legislative supermajority. At the current margin it would be a 20 point swing toward Democrats.

This confirms our worst fears about the risks that DOGE’s meddling presents to the security of Americans’ Social Security data. We won’t stop working to protect people from DOGE and its aftermath.
Vice President Harris Warned Us. We all warned you. Pass it on.
Omg! Kamala Harris added a stop near me! It’s the same place I am going to see Katanji Brown Jackson on September 11th. The tickets aren’t on sale yet though. 🙌
Happy birthday!
A dual reminder of why I don't watch a lot of @MSNBC anymore and why David Hogg was never a good fit as a Democratic Party Officer...as that he hates Democrats: youtu.be/QV1J4puG9DQ?...
I need to never see or hear from Bernie Sanders again, please. Get this ancient bigot the hell off my phone.
The similarities between today and the Gilded Age are striking.

Now, add being Black.
I take it you're shocked to learn this too: www.timesofisrael.com/bill-clinton...
Kamala Harris would’ve stood up to authoritarian countries like Russia and North Korea not welcome them with warm friendly handshakes.

Stop blaming Democratic leaders like it's a spectator sport. 👀 Look in the mirror—what are you doing? This isn’t just an election. It’s a resistance. We all have skin in the game. Critique without action is just noise.
I’m starting to think a lot of y’all don’t actually know what happened in the Holocaust. Also…l want you to read the part about how Hitler came back a second time…even stronger after assholes allowed him to gain power again. When you don’t bother to learn history you repeat it.
Sadly, a lot of people don’t know what happened and how it happened and it’s truly terrifying.

There’s a war on black women because we keep trying to do crazy stuff like stay employed.
Trump’s America is starting to look a lot like Mao’s China.
IF THE ONLY WOMAN OF COLOR IS REMOVED FROM THE FED, THERE WILL BE GLOBAL ECONOMIC IMPLICATIONS. I am not being dramatic. I am not being hyperbolic. I am being completely and totally honest with you. The politicization of the Fed spells trouble for the GLOBAL economy. #econsky #blacksky
VP Harris warned you! But people were more concerned about a dictator in another country, instead of the one that would take over the country you’re in! We should have stopped OUR dictator first!!!
I'm sorry but the way that certain people speak of Ashley, a Black woman who ALWAYS knows what's happening in the house and has socially moved herself up in this game, like she's basically lazy, entitled, getting a "free ride"....it ALWAYS always feels tinged in a bit of racial weirdness!! #bb27
Hey #Arizona! Make sure you’re registered!
Sir … we remember your life pre Eliann. You better be thankful for every bit of glow up.
Mush for brains. Joe had a cold one night and the media practically had him in the morgue, but this lunatic goes unquestioned.
The most disrespected person in America is the Black woman. The most unprotected person in America is the Black woman. The most neglected person in America is the Black woman. — Malcolm X
This is not the group that understands government or historical context. They only tend to think of their ideal scenario and definitely not any political realities like how implementing the plan will work with a hostile HHS Secretary or a hostile Congressional majority.
