Is anyone ready to talk about what a Democrat majority would be facing and what kind of candidate we'd need to take that on yet?

This thread is just one example of why I'm no more a Democrat than I am a Republican. Nobody actually cares about poor people (blue states have the highest homeless populations) and they hate fat people as much as they hate maga. Everyone just wants someone to hate.

Ekua Holmes (American, born 1955)
Free to Be, 2015
From the series “There’s No Place Like Home”
Mixed media collage 

Ekua Holmes’ work is collage based and her subjects, made from cut and torn papers, investigate family histories, relationship dynamics, childhood impressions, the power of hope, faith, and self-determination. Remembering a Roxbury childhood of wonder and delight she considers herself a part of a long line of Roxbury imagemakers. In this spirit, she supports those who have a calling in the arts as well as keeping her own studio practice ignited. She has created and led workshops, been a visiting artist and lecturer, and held artist residencies in public and private institutions throughout New England.  In her first public art initiative, she received a Now + There Public Art Accelerator Fellowship and launched The Roxbury Sunflower Project, in which she facilitated the planting of 10,000 sunflower seeds in her native Roxbury, MA.

For her work in illustrating children’s literature, Holmes is the recipient of a Caldecott Honor, Coretta Scott King’s John Steptoe New Talent Illustrator Award. In 2018, she won the coveted Coretta Scott King Award. In 2019 she won the 2019 Coretta Scott King Award again.

Ms. Holmes currently serves as Commissioner and Vice-Chair of the Boston Art Commission, which oversees the placement and maintenance of public works of art on and in City of Boston properties. She is also currently Associate Director at the Center for Art and Community Partnerships at MassArt where she manages and coordinates sparc! the ArtMobile, an art-inspiring, art-transforming vehicle retrofitted to contribute to community-based, multidisciplinary arts programming currently focused in Mission Hill, Roxbury, and Dorchester, MA. Ekua Holmes received her BFA in Photography from MassArt in 1977.

Maybe we don't need the Supreme Court to remove money from politics? #supremecourt #citizensunited #moneyinpoliticd

The Corporate Power Reset That Makes Citizens United Irrelevant
By using their authority to define what corporations are—and what powers they hold—states can end the era of corporate and dark money in U.S. politics.

Pragmatism is dangerously overrated. When your pragmatism is based on the assumption that we can't do better, you're complying with your own defeat in advance. We have the potential for better but if you can't even imagine it, you'll certainly never achieve it. Dare to dream.

I find this unbelievably frustrating, to the point of complicity by the democratic party. Yes ma'am, we know, and we've seen zero long term opposition strategy, or plan for this eventuality. This is not the party that will save us from fascism, even if they manage to win another election.

Early on, Ta-Nehisi Coates observed, “We are at a moment right now where people are asking themselves why can’t the Democratic Party defend this assault on democracy . . . and I would submit to you that if you can’t draw the line at genocide, you probably can’t draw the line at democracy.”

It's important to do this work. Not everyone can, but recognize that it needs to happen and that means people will have to decide to take these risks. It's also important to be prepared and as safe as you can about it. Please take protest safety recommendations seriously.

Hello Bluesky! I will pay someone to create a video compilation of Kirk's worst takes in his own voice, without commentary but with references to the original source. I know people who need to see it. Seriously will pay for this.

There's something I need all of you to understand, especially fellow electeds: what I have done cannot be exceptional. I ask you to consider your oath. Don't leave me out to hang.
