My message to @kenmartin.bsky.social

Keep in mind just how popular your opponent, @benwikler.bsky.social was, PRIMARILY because of his record.

Your leadership of the #DNC NEEDS to appeal to the strategy he championed for in #Wisconsin, and what I among many others supported.

Sincerely,

C Wiley

Walz: This is North Korea style stuff. And it's being done because this is a weak, thin skinned man who's failing as a president. All of the things he promised are not happening.

It's a it's our most cherished freedom to point out very clearly, this is a terrible president

One thing I'll say about DC not only canceling Red Hood, but recalling the first issue and refunding stores for buying it, is that you can still get Neil Gaiman's work through them. They still work with Otto Schmidt. Eddie Berganza worked there for years AFTER the formation of a policy that no women

This is the playbook, folks.

If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.

Do not be quiet in this moment.

This is 2025, where opinions get you canceled, direct quotes get you fired, and calling for the death of homeless people is no big deal.

@disneyprimevideo.bsky.social Put Kimmel back or I’m canceling my Hulu and Disney subscriptions. I think ESPN is in there, too. Everyone sacrifices. 🤷‍♀️

Some of my favorite signs made at the campaign office tonight! :-)

Ben and I are holding signs that we made. Mine says “THE PUNISHER WOULD HATE YOU.” Ben’s says, “GOOGLE THE HAGUE. YOU CAN STILL QUIT!”

A protest sign depicting a beautifully drawn Chicago dog reads, “CELERY SALT MELTS ICE”

Two little girls hold homemade protest signs. Each one has one that says “ICE OUT OF ILLINOIS” and in the middle is a sign reading, “Keep families together!”

A volunteer holds up their homemade sign which read, “GET A JOB, PATHETIC LOSER…”

Trump just designated “Antifa” as a terrorist organization, on par with ISIS and Al Qaeda. As a reminder, “antifa” is short for “antifascist”.

They will use this lie to surveil, imprison, and kill Americans on the left.

This may be our Reichstag Fire moment. Wake up.

So where is antifa headquartered? Is it in the basement of a pizzeria? I bet it’s in the basement of a pizzeria that doesn’t have a basement.

I had no wish for him to be murdered, but I’ll harshly judge anyone who flies their flag at half staff for that hateful extremist or talks about honoring his memory. There was no honor in his life.

September 10th is #SuicidePreventionDay. As a physician, I’m acutely aware of the importance of mental health, and I am committed to fighting for expanded access to mental healthcare. You do not have to suffer in silence.

I stood with my colleagues yesterday to unveil the Senate and House Dems’ proposal for fair Congressional maps that accurately reflect our voters’ preferences. Ohioans deserve fair maps, and the time to act is now. #redistricting #gerrymandering #fairmaps
