For the people who live in red districts, what’s the most effective way to sway your representative to vote for releasing the Epstein files? I’ll support any candidate who primaries you, if you don’t sign?

Can someone tell the Christian Nationalists that JESUS WAS LITERALLY A REFUGEE …and he was woke AF. If Jesus came back today, the Trump regime would deport him

If the DNC actually listened to its base, they’d have no problem raising money. Until they align themselves with what their base wants, they’d can expect to be broke. We are done with corporate dems and AIPAC. The DNC isn’t listening! Endorse progressives like Mamdani or go extinct ☠️

Since Trump’s “Golden Age” turned out to be fools gold, I’d suppose we could settle for Newsom ushering in the American “Silver Age” And by silver, I mean Silver Fox 😉

Not sure who needs to hear this, but there are only 2 sides right now: fascist or anti-fascist. Defeating fascism requires imperfect allies. You can get on board with CA & Newsom….or take the high road all the way to a Trump dictatorship. 🇺🇸🗽⚖️

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social if you want to be 100% sure California voters vote YES on the new maps, you should commit to making AOC the speaker of the house Literally zero Dem voters want a Speaker Jeffries. AOC gets the progressives back (who you also need to get the nomination in 2028) Do itttt

THIS WEEK the GOP has: 1️⃣ Militarized DC to use force against the American people BTW they are still in LA 2️⃣ Our most senior military official posted a video about the repeal of the 19th amendment (women’s right to vote) 3️⃣ Asked SCOTUS to repeal marriage equality …and it’s only Tuesday morning.

Such an important point: “Progressive policies…are very popular in this country…but you have a segment of the Democratic Party that keeps trying to convince progressives we’re losing elections because their policies need to be more moderate.” Matt Dowd I wish more understood this. A confession… 🧵

All I think about when I hear people say that it’s bad taste to dance on Hulk Hogan’s grave is that Emmett Till’s monument had to be replaced with a 500lb steel bulletproof monument because white people simply won’t stop riddling it with bullets. So now it just has tons of dents. From bullets.
Emmett Till memorial shot up with bullets People with guns proudly posing in front of the Emmett Till memorial shot up with bullets A bulletproof Emmett Till memorial. Riddled with bullet dents.

Probably the best interview I’ve seen of @governor.ca.gov There are no perfect allies - he has my vote & my support! ✊🇺🇸 If Newsom wants the whole base’s 2028 support, he should publicly: 1) explain/regret the terrible podcast strategy 2) voice support for the trans community

Talarico speaking on Rogan: I'm a Christian, and I think there is no more dangerous form of government than theocracy—because the only thing worse than a tyrant is a tyrant who thinks they’re on a mission from God.

Since the law doesn’t matter anymore anyway, the Epstein victims should break their NDA’s and start naming names There has to be a few countries who would grant them asylum They shouldn’t have to, but it’s the only way the names will be revealed

I’ve been thinking a lot about what NEW guardrails should be put in place, if we make it out of this. Money in politics, making the executive subject to the law, etc. Maybe a parliamentary system with multiple parties & publicly funded elections. What changes can we make to prevent this?

New rule: no criticizing the way others choose to resist unless you have a better, actionable idea and kind, constructive feedback. New ideas are good! Performative contrarianism is useless.

P.S.: as per executive directive, this National Parks Service sign is posted at the Emmett and Mamie Till-Bradley National Monument, i.e., the Tallahatchie County Courthouse in which an all-white jury acquitted Emmett Till’s murderers in 1955 after deliberating for 67 minutes. 🗃️ #BlackEduSky #EduSky
Photo of a sign by the US Department of the Interior posted on a door at the courthouse, asking visitors to provide feedback and to identify "any signs or other information that are negative about either past or living Americans or that fail to emphasize the beauty, grandeur, and abundance of landscapes and other natural features."

When learning about the Constitution in public school, it sounded so permanent - as an American, you have rights that cannot be taken away. As an adult, you learn how much our rights depend on people to enforce them. Democracy doesn’t just defend itself. It requires us, the people, to defend it 🇺🇸

Deranged chaos agent RFK Jr and the MAGA regime just fired the CDC staff who ensured that birth control is safe for women who are at risk. Once again, this is murder. There’s absolutely nothing pro-life about wanting to kill as many people as possibly in many different ways.

Hot take: BlueSky users should not block everyone they disagree with. This is the only space where the algorithm isn’t rigged against us! Blocking everyone who disagrees hurts BlueSky’s overall user growth — for truth to prevail, we need everyone on an algorithm that IS NOT RIGGED.
