There were a lot of opinions after 11/5 abt “messaging”. I have a personal rule I try to follow not to share 🍊. Why? Bc he’s everywhere drowning out everything. My priority is to share elected Democratic leaders. IMO our Achilles heel is that we don’t share our Dems enough. We are the messengers. 💙

Washington State Democrats @wadems.org · 19h

WA moved more blue in 2024 because Democrats built strong, year-round organizing and ran candidates who delivered. Hear from our Chair and DNC Vice Chair Shasti Conrad, who helped lead on protecting working families, empowering young & AAPI voters, and turning activism into wins, changing the game.

Nevadans shouldn’t have to choose between paying rent and filling their prescription. But health care costs have risen faster here than anywhere else in the country.

As Governor, I’ll bring the costs of prescription drugs down to the Medicare-negotiated price for all Nevadans.

It’s Day 14 of the Republican Shutdown.

I’m in DC ready to open the government & prevent health insurance premiums from doubling.

Republicans are spending another week on the couch & don’t care that your costs will skyrocket.

Dear House Republicans: get back to DC and do your damn job!

While House Republicans are doing “important work” on their paid vacation, House Democrats are ready to do the *actual* important work of ending this government shutdown AND the looming shutdown of health care for millions of hard-working Americans.

American Bridge 21st Century @ab21.bsky.social · 4d

Mike Johnson claims Republicans are too busy doing “important work” back in their districts, to stay and Washington to avert the government shutdown, or at least get military families pay.

Here’s some of that very “important work” 🧵

51% say “worse off” under Trump/ 17% “better off.” That’s before Republican health care cuts drive up costs more.

"A bar chart by YouGov and published by CBS News Poll asks individuals about the financial impact of Trump’s policies on their lives. Fifty-one percent of respondents say they are “worse off,” thirty-two percent say they are “the same,” and seventeen percent say they are “better off.” Fifty-one percent and seventeen percent are circled in red and blue pen.

If Dems are unsuccessful in getting Republicans to reinstate ACA subsidies I want ppl to remember that only R’s voted for the big ugly bill (OBBB). So if & when your healthcare becomes unaffordable & your local hospital closes, blame the REPUBLICANS.

U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen @shaheen.senate.gov · 18h

Republican Insurance Commissioner Jon Godfread is right to sound the alarm: Congress only has a matter of days to extend ACA enhanced premium tax credits by November 1 before health care costs are permanently set higher.

We must work across the aisle to get this done before then.

1. Using humor & mockery to punch holes in fear-based authoritarian power grabs is a tried & true method

2. 1 point of such display is inspiring folks to see they're not alone in anger at this regime; that most folks agree w/them; & to fuel action

3. It's not aimed at DJT

It's building a movement

If only the Germans had dressed in animal costumes in the 1920's and 30's, Hitler would have been stopped in his tracks. I'm all for humour and satire but it's going to take more than some funny costumes.

Today following outreach from @thejusticedept, Facebook removed a
large group page that was being used to dox and target

The wave of violence against ICE has been driven by online apps and
social media campaigns designed to put ICE officers at risk just for doing
their jobs. The Departrnent of Justice will continue engaging tech
companies to eliminate platforms where radicals can incite imminent
violence against federal law enforcernent.

Despite what some, including at DHS, are claiming, this video isn’t from a year ago in Chicago. It was Friday in Hoffman Estates, in my district, a street I’ve walked myself. It appears to show a child being violently detained by ICE. It’s real, and I’m demanding accountability.

What the actual fuck? Letitia James needs way more support than Jimmy Kimmel.

He got support because people could do it by cancelling Disney+ via phone or computer. It was easy to show solidarity.

But of course people push back if any effort is involved, gah that pisses me off.

When I posted a meme saying that we should support Tish James like we did Jimmy Kimmel, heaps of white people began attacking me. Not on Twitter, here on BlueSky. A whole bunch of guilt ridden, hit dogs came here to holler. The problem with America is that racism survives progressivism.
