I would say - there are a few - follow and support them @sanders.senate.gov @aoc.bsky.social @govpritzker.illinois.gov @governorwalz.mn.gov @repjasmine.bsky.social @captmarkkelly.bsky.social

I agree with you.
Start following Pritzker
Absolutely! He's on my list & the best governor out there (IMO)
Its clearly Bernie and AOC leading us out and through
It’s a good start but it will take all of us
Absolutely. But IMO we need leaders who have the position to actually make a difference & lead. We need to show up like we did in Colorado (my home state)
I think it's important to see their lead, but also all the voices that have emerged. Walz and Pritzker out in the media and Elizabeth Warren and Chris Murphy from in the Senate. Rebecca Solnit from her various perches, established groups (eg Indivisible) and the burble up ones (eg 50501).
The many voices on stage are good. The amount of people who are angry (and frightened and wanting to stop the coup) is massive. The movement, I think, is going to be like a murmuration, constantly on the move, adjusting, but always there.
I like the murmuration analogy and it is starting slowly and steadily. My concern is it’s to slow considering the pace of change/damage he is doing.
Yes, the fault in the murmuration analogy is the one predator it responds to vs the massive destruction happening. That said, the murmuration is agile and responsive and massive...and succeeds at protecting the collective. I like the idea of a collective dance, aware and attending and resisting.
Then they should be protesting instead of fundraising for a PAC off a tour
They are protesting, leading the resistance and fundraising the resistance.
They are padding Bernie’s pockets. AOC is fundraising off it too. They are not leading anything but their own parade.
35,000 people came out to see THEM.
And.. 50,000 came out to see Harris. See how that works
Yes. The point is they are not presidential candidates.
And Bernie spent time attacking Biden. Same old bullshit. He’s making promises that he has t even tried to accomplish in 50 years. He should be registering voters. Marching on DC. Not fundraising
Please dont ignore the leaders.
They aren’t the leaders
I have been a lifelong Republican, and if you told me 20 years ago I would be "hearting" this on Bluesky, I would have thought you were crazy. You're absolutely right, and I find it amazing how far my "label" has shifted simply based on ethics and moral decency.
Ethics and moral decency! That’s what we call for, tfg has none of it.
May I add to your list: @azagmayes.bsky.social
Sanders is making his 3rd party noises again, which splits our vote in midterms. He's doing incredible work right now but history tells me he is not someone we can fully invest in to have our best interests at heart.
Please, I hope he’s doing this to unite not divide us.
At the end of the day, Bernie is out for Bernie. Glad to see him helping now though.... up until he started in again on 3rd party.
He’s doing a lot more than our “dedicated” Democrats …
He's doing great work right now. Opening his mouth about 3rd party is a red flag. He needs to listen to the advisors saying stop it. That does not help us in this crisis. It helps him.
I am absolutely appalled of the stupidity of Amuricans giving kudos to an old white dude who is rich too Bernie Sanders who trashed Hillary and Democrats and gave us Adolf Donny Wtfucky is wrong with you Amuricans are their own worst enemy just fing mind boggling I’ll never forgive him4 this
This.
Thanks! It’s amazing that MORE Dems aren’t on BlueSky…
@chrismurphyct.bsky.social
My bad. Already on the list 🙌
👏👏👏
@warren.senate.gov @chrismurphyct.bsky.social But it’s especially heartening to see AOC and Sanders on their tour.
@repjasmine.bsky.social a few other governors are standing strong I really hope @mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social gets to the Senate.
Added to my Good Troublemakers list!
I would add @chrismurphyct.bsky.social
Yes, he is on my “Good Troublemakers” list. Sorry I left him out!
Chris Murphy
