I was the first person to get through college in my family. I respect the work you did getting out of high school. It isn't easy when you don't have support. Even if people disagree with one another, it doesn't mean we have to be at odds with each other. These spaces arent great for real dialogue.

I miss being able to have fun on social media without having to worry about the existential threat of fascism looming over everything.

In 2022 I worked with over 120 candidates for office. The entire statewide slate of Dems at all levels in AR, half of OH, and other states. With 6 unpaid staff and 30 influencers. And no funding. I meant no disrespect. Although... I did keep a 4.0 through college.

I appreciate the humor but have no wish to denigrate the work of other people here. It is hard to do this type of work. The people who do it deserve some level of respect.

Very good point and well taken. I didn't mean to be contrarian. I respect the work you do.

I agree with what you are saying. I just fear that discounting Democratic leadership as DINOs reduces the harm they are actually inflicting on our party. Like it or not, these are the leaders we have, despite so many people working for something different. I wish it were not the case.

Unfortunately it looks like @danahoule.bsky.social was right about the DSCC backing Janet Mills. I respect the work you do and I mean no disrespect by posting this. It's difficult to keep up with everything in these media cycles. www.axios.com/2026/04/16/c...

Janet Mills suspended her campaign earlier today. She cited a lack of financial resources. This is likely behind the quick endorsement of Platner. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/30/u...

Calling them DINOs reduces the impact they have on the party. They are Democrats, Cueller was pardoned by Trump, Landsman has received almost a million dollars from AIPAC related groups. Golden is retiring and doesn't have to worry about the impact of his votes anymore.

We’ve officially reached more than 60 days of the Iran war. That is over 60 days where billions in federal dollars went to conflict abroad instead of lowering costs for families here at home. You deserve better. That’s why I introduced a War Powers Resolution to end this war. Stay loud.

worth remembering how short and simple the 15th Amendment is, as well as how sweeping its grant of congressional authority is. the idea that this doesn't cover a ban on racial gerrymanders is transparent horseshit
Fifteenth Amendment
Section 1

The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude–

Section 2

The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

Hi Scott, I am a coalition builder that works with candidates for political office. @tamiewilson.bsky.social asked me about UBI and that led me to you. "Will UBI Cause Inflation?" and "Think Like a Martian" were enough to make me a believer. Where should people start to learn about UBI?

There's no reason for Iran to attack NATO nation Turkey—but a drone did. Iran denies sending it. There's no reason for Iran to attack a UK base in Cyprus—but a drone did. Iran denies sending it. Now Azerbaijan has been attacked. Iran denies involvement. I think this is Israel.

I supported Kamala and thought she ran a good campaign. There was evidence of rampant election irregularities across multiple states. She did not make them an issue. She just let it go. That is what I am angry with her over. She should have litigated this further.

My father became a different person when he retired and was slowly brainwashed by Fox News. He said I loved immigrants more than him. I refused to pick up his calls. The last time he called I should have picked up. Maybe I could have said goodbye before he died. Your message is disgusting.
