Denver voters: Melat Kiros is the strong, progressive leader that we need representing us in Congress. Diana DeGette continues to accept corporate donations and is failing to uphold progressive values. Check out kirosforco.com and give her your vote in next year's Democratic primary election.
Massive walkout underway at CDC. RFK jr. must resign so that we can be safe.
Billionaires and corporations are buying our elections to drown out our voices, but we won't let them. Tune in to our Many Over the Money roundtable with @fsfp.bsky.social TONIGHT at 6:30pm to discuss the fight to get money out of politics & restore our democracy đ www.youtube.com/live/GLWjAKG...
@kenmartin.bsky.social over 3/4 of the party sympathizing with Palestine and yâall canât advance anything? Resign you useless piece www.cnn.com/2025/08/26/p...
You have been in Congress since Columbine, and in that time, gun laws have only become more relaxed. Retire, thanks!
Waiting on this spineless leader to get voted out. Nancy Pelosiâs handpicked successor whoâs Wall St donors benefit from Trumpâs policies is the definition of a conflict of interest. Waiting for a competent primary opponent to donate to if the House Demâs canât recognize fecklessness
Release the cover
Youâre right. Chastising Hakeem Jeffries on BlueSky is a bridge too far in these troubled times. I am devastated by the loss of your support
Dude do you have any idea whatâs actually happening in this country??? What happened to you
The right getting bent out of shape over male cheerleaders in the NFL reminds me a lot of the very beginning of backlash to Dylan Mulvaney's Bud Light ad read.
Iâll be out of town. Can someone ask them to convince @hickenlooper.bsky.social to not run again?
I really donât have words to describe how incandescently angry I am at Trumpâs hosting of Putin. It spits in the face of every American who ever fought against tyranny, itâs an obscene affront to our allies, and the only reason itâs not treason is that weâre not actively at war with Russia.
also: a devastating indictment of the political instincts of every dem in leadership and with ambition who has not arrived here yet. bruh this dead-eyed operator who initially was hosting bannon on a podcast has somehow beat you to the punch on resisting trump
Every PhD student and postdoc who worked their butts off to learn hard things about science, and then contribute to human knowledgeâ especially those fired by Andrew Nixonâs HHSâ should laugh at him. This is right. Heâs a grossly unqualified person in charge of public health.
This plant regularly skirts environmental rules, contributing the higher risk of cancer in the area, and making the entire region smell like rotten eggs.
Time to look to other countries for OUR OWN LABOR STATISTICS I remember when .gov was considered a reputable domain
How does this tangibly help stop the illegal imprisonment of folks who are here legally? Another speech stop on your reelection campaign. Never offering real solutions. Consider her primary opponents this 2026!
REDRAW THE MAP JARED NOW IS NOT THE TIME FOR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PR
I have the upmost respect for the work the folks at the CDC. Working in an infectious disease lab during the outbreak of COVID was a real eye opener to the capacity for the general public to turn on science. With someone as STUPID as RFK Jr further exacerbating the problem? Infuriating RIP David
Terrifying. Consequences of the demonization of academia, research, and any other basis for truth that isnât this administration. Fuck them. Fuck these crazies. I wish we had proper representation to combat propaganda the will continue to ruin lives.
Melat Kiros is challenging Rep. Diana DeGette in #CO01! Follow: @melatkirosco.bsky.social Support: kirosforco.com
Check out @melatkirosco.bsky.social for representation from this century
Would you go back and think about stopping again for those of us that want representation that isnât 90âs liberal?
Love when you end your posts with open ended, empty platitudes, that show you plan on doing nothing new. Emil Bove, who tells judges to fuck off, was just confirmed. Will we be fighting back in kind when he starts doing it around the country? You have no plan for their recklessness. Weak & pathetic
I want to say something snarky but this really is just another sign of how degraded the GOP has become. No respect for the rule of law, no respect for anyone who cares about justice.
Itâs one lawsuit concerning one precinct buddy. Thatâs not widespread fraud.
Oh no, people donât prefer my candidate, better state their race Grow up
Corporate cronyism đ
Scientists stand together
Go back to Facebook. I'm sure the comments under the Fox News posts miss you
The Suicide Lifeline has a Native American specialization. Looks like you don't care that much đ All folks should be able to seek out the care specialized for them regardless if assholes on the internet try to tell marginalized groups that they don't want to kill themselves as much as others
This is deeply illegal, and Trump is blowing up science in this way only because our corrupt, lawless Supreme Court has allowed him to violate the law and Constitution. Next post has a link⊠1/2
You bend the knee to your Wall St donors often, staying timid as can be, allowing a wannabe king to cut taxes on your Wall St donors. Your veil is thin
They do! That being said, a lot of the challenges the community faces is specific to them and largely driven by shame and the feeling of having no one to reach out to. Not to mention the higher rates of suicide among the community that gives credence to having it.
They would rather us be dead than be ourselves.
Oops I did say discourage haha but not to the point you were making, more Capitol decorum.
The leaders rely on unanimous consent from both sides to do any business. It is literally invoked before they vote on anything. Youâre thinking of cloture, which was for the CR that led directly to these events. So still, Schumer fucking sucks
Thatâs 4 people and does not include the caucus leaders whoâs strategy is sit & wait. I didnât say they were discouraging anything, they donât stand for anything other than what their donors deem inoffensive enough and wonât affect their profits.
1. History books tell us a lot of the activities that unions used and that Democrats should encourage to leverage oligarchs who donate to Râs 2. Show up the MAGA media events 3. Stop invoking unanimous consent in the Senate @schumer.senate.gov 4. Stop discouraging disruption & decorum breaking
I donât think the poster is expecting your strawman argument no. The party does bare minimum sound bites for the next election. We deserve collective action against someone like Trump who is destroying everything that actually makes our country great.
They canât, it would hurt the partyâs donorsâ feelings to break decorum anymore than relection sound bites
You are basing it on an individual country while I am basing it on the historical meanings. We can move on
Thatâs great that thatâs how it works in your head, the rest of the world has concrete definitions for left and right and how that ideologies work for the people. Applying those definitions to the US political parties makes it obvious where they stand regardless of your opinion.
Neoliberalism is center-right economic policy. It does not center workers, it centers corporations. Specific positions make up a whole picture. You donât understand how the USâs parties are all shifted to the right vs the rest of the world. Google is your friend. Have a nice Friday.
I donât need puppet accounts when Iâm perfectly comfortable standing by my opinions using my name. Good luck with that tho
I donât pay attention that much
đđŒ
This is literally a picture of me
Lol should I get my yearbook out for you?
Your Overton window is all kinds of fucked up if you consider the current iteration of the Democratic Party to be center left on anything but social issues. Anti trust? Nah Living wage? Nah Universal healthcare? Nah
Love that for us
I never made that claim that you think heâs perfect, but good to know. His job functions are what he makes them to be. Thatâs why he is chair. Just because you have a job description doesnât mean you canât go beyond that at your own place of employment. Again, expecting the least.
Chuck is a corporate crony with his list of large donors. He may be liberal on social matters, but neoliberal policy is just center-right- but make it inclusive. Center-left implies he prioritizes the workers of this country. He does not.
Thanks, you contribute to the out-of-touch image of the party
âHe canât do thatâ âHe doesnât do thatâ Words of people who donât know what being a leader means
You donât have any explanation. Good bye!
Maybe instead of expecting the least from our leaders, we can expect them to meet the moment against an authoritarian.
Organize toâŠ.tell us how bad Trump is for another 2 years? đ„±
The DNC has unlimited transfers to the organizations you just mentioned. These things donât exist in a vacuum. But sure, keep trying to rinse responsibility with degrees of separation lol
We just went through a half-decade of sham censorship hearings in Congress, but it certainly seems like the government forced a comedian to get fired as a bribe to ensure a merger goes through. Is that true? Let's have a hearing and find out.
âMust be stopped immediatelyâ And what are you doing to achieve this? Because speeches during allotted time given to you by the GOP do not stop legislation. You should retire đ„°
Define cult
Astroturfing campaigns are easy to come by for an individual so I canât imagine what a political party must do. Always good to keep in mind đ§
I have a good handle on who sounds like who, most have blocked me anyway lol weâll never be able to confirm so Iâd rather spend time arguing their dumbass logic, but thank you!
Guilty? How do you think we should punish them? Gulag til you get written an apology?
Let everyone see how stupid the partyâs most diehard supporters are to deny things we see with our eyes and ears.
Providing pushback to their moronic takes and dismissive attitude part of the fun đ”
Itâs just called how the website works, but Iâm happy to provide proof
Your name calling means little when you use it so excessively
And yet I still got a notification with your username attached, consider it Bluesky bringing us together đ You didnât answer the question
How does blaming folks help us win next time? Guilt tripping is not a successful strategy.
They literally stopped debate to not allow Democrats to invoke a rule to stall, which is all they know how to do. Why are you making excuses for Republicans breaking the rules?
Booooo threads boooooo
I guess your dumbass canât read because the staffer cut the mic IN FAVOR of Emil to stop a vote. I am not talking about a hypothetical. You didnât read.
Collective action outside the procedures in Congress that only CSPAN faithful care about; is needed to leverage R donors to stop the most abhorrent parts of this admin- including this nomination.
1. No? Lmao 2. I read how the staffer cut Grassleyâs mic to stop the vote and move on. Thatâs not normal. But thanks.
Republicans continue to not follow the rules while Democrats cling to their Roberts Rules books, screaming YOU CANT DO THAT. We need new leadership in both chambers. This resistance is pathetic.
Speaking in allotted time given to you by the GOP is not fighting
To his reelection campaign sound bites. Nothing he does actually moves the needle. Collective action was needed months ago. TRUMP BAD for dinner again? We had that the last 10 years đ€Ș
Who is âthese peopleâ We all fucking agree with the original poster lmao
We can only hope he doesnât and the Wall St influence in the party dwindles. We donât need paper pushers right now.
People expect leaders to do more than be a figure head??? SAF!
People disagree with me so obviously they want to jump to racial slurs. Grow up
Politician who devoted a couple weeks with Steve Bannon and Charlie Kirk just in case thatâs the direction Dâs were headed does not have our best interests in mind. There are other candidates in the field who arenât so spineless or the definition of an empty suit.
Their diehard supporters are morons and will just start making shit up.
How is that any different from what he gets to decide when the government is open. âOfficial actsâ nnaht. Any fearmongering about what Trump would have or not have done is speculation. Schumer had leverage, he gave it up.
Me when I make shit up to back up my point A government shutdown means everything freezes in the bureaucracy. How does that give Trump more power? All restrictions to his position still exist with or without federal workers doing their job.
This is false. Itâs Chuck doing damage control to cover his ass. The federal workers union said shut it down. He didnât listen.
You can either believes Chuckâs bullshit excuses or simply lookup his donors and how they benefit from such a tax break. The Fed workers union wanted to close it, thatâs all the approval he needed. Doesnât listen to workers, doesnât deserve to be in leadership
But he said some pretty words. He couldnât possibly care more about his wealthy friends than every day Americans đ±
Love that for you
So no, I donât consider myself stupid because you asked for something you know I canât deliver but is irrelevant to shining a light on all that associated with the countryâs biggest pedo. You can go away now
You say âwhereâs the proofâ as if I need any beyond how much they associated, which is recorded in pictures we have all seen lol
Your point is to run interference on behalf of unpopular politicians and itâs painfully obvious. Iâve read our convo back and you remain saying âdonât investigate pedosâ while I say âfollow-up on that guy who hung out with a pedoâ
My logical basis is that a person associated with, multiple times, the most prolific pedo in our country. Iâm sure name calling will prove your point. You done yet?
Ok đđŒ
