I’ve long assumed Trump will declare we are under “invasion”, and democrats and immigrants will become the targets of unlawful emergency powers.

This is good, from Hakeem Jeffries. More of this please, in every conceivable forum:

"Sycophants who aid and abet the President’s vengeful schemes will not be able to hide from the serious legal consequences of their behavior. They will be held accountable."

I feel like a broken record, but I have to keep saying it over and over again: a farmer bailout won’t do much of anything because the market is gone. There will be no incentive to plant next year.

The bailout will help payoff farmer debt to the banks. That’s all.

Monday, this country will celebrate a man who never stepped foot in our country instead of a community we've shared these great lands with for hundreds of years. We're going in the wrong direction, folks.

The russians are targeting civilians and avoiding military targets. These are war crimes.

At least, these are the kind of conversations we have within the ad agencies. We learn from one another. And I am not a cunt. I would appreciate an apology. Have a good night.

As a long-time democrat I'll never vote MAGA, but I'm pretty pissed our rights weren't more secured when Biden was in office. I also feel like the olds in our party need to manage from behind.

So when I see a fundraising text from Adam Schiff, I'm like, no.

Take a look at the politicians standing out: Sanders, Pritzker, AOC, James Talarico, Newsom, etc... They don't have a message in common really - but they're out there fighting and talking to us. I imagine they will get more donations. I'm really impressed by Talarico.

They are out there earning it.

No, I haven't. I'm a professional writer (ad industry). My entire job is to read the trends and message correctly to people - $millions (sometimes $billions) are on the line if I get it wrong. So, maybe those who have worked campaigns can learn something from people like me and vice versa.

Framing it as Trump simply going after his political enemies is misleading because to a fascist every other living person is their political enemy.

You’re his political enemy. You just haven’t been identified yet.

but 2 texts and three emails a day asking for money when our democracy is burning to the ground and we're broke as hell - not good.

And I have to ask - why did you call me a cunt? That felt pretty extreme and really confused me.

Amy and a Cat @amyandacat.bsky.social · 9h

Yeah, I know. I do this for a living. They need to segment their mailing lists and stop asking people scraping by for money. They can hold fundraisers, we can still donate our $10 to AOC -

The most common response I hear from Dems is, ‘what happened to her?’ What happened is she wanted to run for Senate, wanted Trump’s endorsement first, and Trump told her not to run because she couldn’t win. Since then, different Marge. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Greene on the Epstein files: "I can't conclusively say that's why the House isn't in session, but the House should be in session...there is a new Democrat that's been elected that deserves to be sworn in...if it's to avoid the discharge petition, why drag this out? It's going to have 218 signatures"
