If Dems bravely stand up for what's RIGHT without fear of offending right-wing bigots who will never vote for them anyway, they inspire young/marginalized people who don't normally participate in politics to show up & vote. That's what Mamdani is doing, and he's the most popular Dem in the US today.

All day too! Yuck.

Looks like they've been playing in dirt, but you know neither one of them has done anything remotely agricultural.

On the White House lawn, since they seem to be into such things. 🤭

One of the main problems with Democrats is waiting for an opening. Talk over their asses with your points the same way they talk over you to make theirs.

Respect and decorum left the building a long time ago.

Authoritarianism.

Robert Reich @rbreich.bsky.social · 6d

Turning the military on citizens.

Attempting to rig elections.

Toying with the idea of declaring martial law.

Attacking political enemies and punishing those who speak out.

If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?

My 7 y.o. grandson got a whole history of hip hop lesson today — I played everything (his favorite right now is the Rappin Duke 🤭).

He will never be caught on camera not knowing who Rakim is. Ever.

IKYFL!!! Black people, not liking people who are gay, people who identify as trans, or people of a different race, isn't any reason to get behind this lunatic or his bitch-ass administration. Remember, every token gets spent.

Theeeee way I’d weaponize this for the benefit of my child and all the others. They gave us the playbook. Get together and fire off on the school, teachers, principals, superintendent. Change the damned rules and regulations cause ain’t know fucking way.

Here's your (not so) totally useless fact(s) of the day:

The ability to speak several languages is an asset. The ability to keep your mouth closed in any language is often priceless. lol. It's true.
