Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics. Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages. If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.
Y’all I have tried dessert wine and it is amazing. Now I don’t understand “dry” wine. I want the super sweet stuff.

“bluesky has no pull” we had the world thinking the president was dead, we’re becoming more powerful than they could ever imagine
Ew!
My parents, hard core Rs, worked hard to teach me my place as a girl and a woman.They didn't succeed. Many younger women today don't know how bad it was & how hard it was to get where we are today. We obviously STILL have a lot of work to do but one thing that I'm sure about is.. No going back!
This is the kinda stuff right wing media said when Michelle Obama oversaw a school nutrition program fyi. Glenn Beck transcript is from 2010.

Clean energy isn’t “woke.” It’s an essential part of our energy future and saves us all on power bills. This administration’s war on offshore wind and solar is just going to raise Americans’ utilities.
No matter what @MarshaBlackburn keeps saying, it’s not criminals they’re targeting. www.cnn.com/2025/08/30/u...
not just that he has no constitutional authority, there isn't even any particular legal or institutional mechanism by which the president can make anyone treat this as anything other than a weird advisory opinion.
Really? Chicago cops would side with the Feds? Yikes!
This group can hug them. I’m going to make fun of them.
Why do you appreciate unions? I’ll start: Weekends off Paid vacations Work breaks Sick leave Paid holidays No child labor Safer working conditions Health care and retirement benefits

Crime Spree in DC - Yes, this is a real event. No, it’s not sarcasm. Lmao. Your taxpayer dollars are at work.
IMPEACH the Republican cabinet and the rogue judges on the Supreme Court CONVICT them Bring CRIMINAL CHARGES against them TRY THEM in criminal court CONVICT them again SENTENCE them to the maximum the law allows
Corporate America’s playbook: 1) Exploit workers to maximize profits 2) Use profits to buy Congress 3) Use Congress to pass union-busting laws 4) Use these laws to further exploit workers 5) Repeat Let's break the cycle and keep building back a powerful labor movement.

Epidemiologist Erin McCanlies spent much of the past two decades studying the environmental causes of autism. Under the leadership of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has promised to find a cause for the condition, her entire division was cut.
This part. Everyone should be taking notes from @ivehaditpodcast.bsky.social’s @mizzwelch.bsky.social
MeidasTouch covers the protests. Major media downplays them if they mention them at all and conservative media calls them fake and says they are hired by George Soros.

Doing the right thing, making the right decision, can still fill you with regret and sadness. That does not make it any less right, but reminds you there may be a cost to doing the honorable thing. A true warrior accepts that hard decisions, like hard truths, can wound.

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

He means they aren’t going to track those numbers anymore. From now on, Trump will make them up like everything else the government puts out.
“Do you guys feel bad about what you’re doing? Don’t you f*cking hate yourselves?”
Chicago! Chicago!
The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
I read stuff and I block idiots
According to aid agencies, Israel will not let them in. Israeli soldiers have said they have been ordered to fire on unarmed civilians trying to get food. Journalists no longer give Israel their location because they believe Israel is using the information to target them. This is the news I get.

If they are not executed for treason they will rebuild and do it all again.
We should start talking about straight white males the way they talk about immigrants and trans people. Straight white men should never own or possess any gun. They are too unhinged.
F_CK him all the way back to cheesy Trump Tower! 🤣 apple.news/As0aTF8p3SXW...
National Guardner? National Park Service workers laid off, and now the National Guard is doing landscaping in DC. Felon Trump really turned soldiers into gardeners.
Paranoid delusions seem to be seizing Sec. Burgum. His fumbling fact free rationale for illegally shutting down Revolution Wind is ludicrous. It means higher electricity prices for consumers & massive job cuts. Not to mention undermining energy independence. It’s crazy & lawless.

The Democratic Party can't just be about policy papers, it's about showing people we'll fight for them. I sat down with @gavinnewsom.bsky.social to talk about where we've been and where we need to go next. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Hcj5neSO8M
Stephen Miller is smoking crack.
Maybe we should be saying that cis men are out of control. Maybe we should restrict them. They seem happy to take rights away from everyone else while doing most of the murdering. Include on the law taking women’s right to vote a bill making it a felony for a cis man to possess a gun ever.
I went to Moshannon Valley ICE Detention Center to conduct oversight and was shut out. We will not be intimidated and we will not be silent. Congress should pass my Congressional Oversight Access Act to protect lawmakers from violence and retaliation for doing our jobs.
a really useful thing that everyone with nimby inclinations in their souls could do right now is go ham on local land use/permitting issues against ice facilities and data centers
Excellent question.
The thing about Ashli Babbitt that I kept saying is that, for most of history, most countries would have strung up a bunch of the J6 folks in the capitol steps as a sign. And for good reason. This is what happens when you don’t.
I think you should put a zero in front of the decimal so everyone sees it. Not 13%, 0.13%
Real patriotism is wanting your country to be better. Real patriotism is wanting every single person who lives in it to have a stake in its success. Real patriotism is wanting the best for everyone in it. To have the best healthcare, education and life chances. I don’t need a flag outside my door

When a president decides to disregard the will of the American people, you’re right, that’s the mark of authoritarian rule. The White House has notified Congress that it plans to cancel $4.9 billion in foreign aid funding that lawmakers had already approved, doing so without their consent.
Inhuman. “I don’t have any choice” is a lie.
We have a path to win the House AND the Senate in 2026. Fight. Organize. A better country is possible.

Immediately arrest all of them. I’m sure they could come up with charges. Failure to properly identify themselves, conspiracy to cause violence, trespassing, conspiracy to violate civil rights? Trump will demand they be released but the mayor of Chicago doesn’t work for the President.

I wholeheartedly agree with this!
People in Chicago need to be covertly in talks with Canada about weapons. Drones and mis launchers. Not a joke folks. Submit or fight. It’s coming to Chicago. Send the kids down south to Nana’s house.

Elections of every level matter. Don't believe me, ask Texas, whose governor has allowed more people to die than any other in modern history by mismanaging money & supplies for Uvalde PD, mismanaged the Electric grid, and also failed to put sirens in flash flood alley while campers used it yearly.
They won’t regulate guns and say it’s not guns it’s mental health. They cut funding for treatment of mental illness. It’s not guns or mental health; it’s Republicans who won’t allow guns to be regulated and mental illness to be treated.
You can’t actually know that. IT experts say that ES&S were the easiest to hack that’s why they dropped shade on Dominion and Smartmatic, to get them replaced. The counting machines were connected to smart UPS boxes that could quietly load an update. Not saying it did happen but it’s likely enough.
Dead Israelis 1, 983 Dead Palestinians 63,122 Over 50% of the population of Gaza was under 18. Israel has radicalized people around the world against itself. Even the people of Israel are having protests against this “war”. It is Netanyahu’s legacy.
I was just wondering about that. Will Vance still allow Miller and Vought to run the show? Will it be a power struggle? Will Congress impeach Vance?
If you don’t want the UK to be the US, push back hard. Send thousands of letters of complaint to the station that he is on. Publicize the sponsors of the show that broadcast his lies and call for a boycott. Take it all very seriously and personally as if it’s you he is attacking. This is a warning.
South Korea's former Prime Minister Han Duck-soo has been indicted for aiding ex-president Yoon's attempted coup last year, joining Yoon's wife, defense minister, military leaders, and police who have all been arrested. America, this is how to hold an entire administration accountable for treason.
