Paragraph 4 of the MOU states "The United States ... undertakes to remove its forces from the proximity of ... Iran within 30 days after the final deal." Does this mean closure of the US bases in Qatar, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Kuwait? The host nations will be glad for us to go. 1/x

In the 2026 election we have the opportunity to gain strong majorities in both the House and Senate -- enough to impeach and remove Trump and Vance. Every election is a potential revolution. And we have done it before.
Massive shift from Republican to Democratic majorities, 1929-1937.

George Chen, the mayor of Torrance is MAGA extremist. In a 2022 interview he praised Trump and said Trump was the kind of leader the country and the world needs. That is disqualifying and divisive ideology like this has no place in leading our city. This June, VOTE NO ON THE MAGA MAYOR!

@ezralevin.bsky.social @leahgreenberg.bsky.social Indivisible should target impeachment of Pam Bondi. The Epstein Files Transparency Act passed 427-1 n the House and 100-0 in the Senate, and she’s flagrantly ignoring the law. I think she can be successfully impeached and convicted right now.

What if we do to members of Congress what we’re doing to ICE? Follow them, get in their face, demand they impeach Trump. Focus on Republicans in purple districts and senators in purple states and up for election in 2026.

Trump said he could shoot somebody on 5th Avenue and not lose any support. But f#%king little girls and murdering his pedophile friend in prison? He would probably lose 3% in the polls over that. At least for a few weeks.

The election results Tuesday should show us that we can have the revolution we need, at the ballot box next November. There are 35 Senate elections in 2026, and 22 of those seats are held by Republikkkans. Winning 20 of them will give Democrats a 67-vote supermajority. 1/

The top 7 donors gave over $1bil to Trump. This is how an oligarchy entrenches itself in a democracy.
The image is a chart titled "Top Donors in 2024 Election," showing contributions to campaign committees and independent groups. It notes George Soros donated $179 million in 2022, much unspent until 2024. Donors are categorized as "Solidly Republican/Conservative," "Solidly Democratic/Liberal," or "Leans Republican/Conservative." Top donors include:
Elon Musk: $291,482,587 (Solidly Republican/Conservative)

Timothy Mellon: $197,047,200 (Solidly Republican/Conservative)

Miriam Adelson: $148,304,900 (Solidly Republican/Conservative)

Richard & Elizabeth Uihlein: $143,489,936 (Solidly Republican/Conservative)

Kenneth C. Griffin: $108,402,284 (Solidly Republican/Conservative)

Jeffrey & Janine Yass: $101,128,680 (Solidly Republican/Conservative)

Paul Singer: $66,800,800 (Solidly Republican/Conservative)
[...]

The chart notes "Solid" donors give over 85% to one side, "Leans" give 60%-80%, and "On the Fence" donors are more balanced. Source: OpenSecrets, created with Datawrapper.

"But what about China's coal plants?" Turns out, with their renewable & nuclear building boom, China's power grid is now actually cleaner (in both clean energy share and CO2 emissions intensity metrics) than several regions of the US grid, and improving faster www.reuters.com/markets/comm... 🔌💡
A chart shows clean electricity and fossil electricity productions in China and several US states. Text reads "Indeed, China's power system emitted less carbon dioxide (CO2) per unit of electricity production last year than that of the state of Florida and several other major U.S. power systems.
And while China keeps adding more clean energy, many U.S. power networks are primed to add more natural gas-fired capacity in keeping with the wishes of the new Trump administration, which is disdainful of renewable power."Chart shows shares of electricity from fossil fuels in China and several US states. Text reads:

China's power system relied on fossil fuels for 62% of electricity output in 2024, data from energy think tank Ember shows.
That fossil fuel share compares to 58% for the United States, and means that while the two power systems differ in scale - China produces more than twice as much electricity as the U.S. - they are currently similarly reliant on fossil fuels.
However, China has made more aggressive boosts to both clean power and overall electricity output over the past five years.
Between 2019 and 2024, China's clean-powered electricity supplies jumped by 68%, lifting total electricity output by 36%.Chart shows co2 emissions intensity of electricity production in China vs several US utilities. Text reads:

The growing share of clean power within China's electricity system is leading to steady falls in the country's so-called carbon intensity of electricity production.
In 2024, China's electricity generation system emitted an average of 534 grams of CO2 and equivalent gases for every kilowatt hour of electricity output, according to energy portal electricitymaps.com.
That compares to an average of 395 grams of CO2/kWh in the United States, and means that China's electricity production is around 35% more carbon intensive than the U.S. system.

There are 35 senate races in 2026, 22 for seats now held by Republikkkans. If we win 20 of those we'll have 67. With 67 senators we can remove Trump and 6 Supreme Court judges. We can remove Vance and the House Speaker becomes President. We must WIN. We have the numbers, all we lack is solidarity.
