This is, without a doubt, some of the sickest and most deranged shit I've ever read. Conservatives are a completely morally bankrupt demographic.

I cooked a holiday dinner for the Bloomington members of the Starbucks Workers United yesterday and spoke with them about the success of their strike.

I'm proud to have stood on the picket line with the Bloomington, Indiana members of SWU and will join them the next time they join a strike.
Thousands of baristas are still on ULP strike across the country, and we're not going anywhere!

Stand with striking baristas and don't buy Starbucks ANYWHERE. Get that peppermint mocha (and those last minute gift cards) at your local coffee shop instead! #NoContractNoCoffee

For Christmas this year, I bring all Hoosiers the promise that I'll do everything I can to combat the evils of the Republican agenda in the Indiana House of Representatives, to increase wages, make housing affordable, hold the state accountable and fight for trans rights.

Happy holidays Indiana!

Years after release, they remain amazing games without equal!

"Transgender for everyone," he says, and yet after 10 years I'm still the only trans woman working at a restaurant that employs over 50 people. Aight 🤷

Regulating AI didn't make it to my top 6 issues for my campaign, but be assured that I intend to do everything I can to regulate the everloving hell out of AI here in Indiana.

It starts with legislating these data centers out of the state and crippling AI capacity.
"And I never say no"

We need to have a serious talk about the way "AI companion" apps not only prey on the vulnerable, but are priming their users to ignore consent and to conflate love with control.

We need AI regulations across so many sectors, but this area is particularly horrifying.

Speaking as a former indie game dev, I will 100% agree that, if at any point the Expedition 33 devs used generative AI to cut corners, they deserve to lose their accolades and awards.

Art is about exploring and expressing human experiences, not letting some algorithm cut corners for you.

Last night, our President performed an ILLEGAL action against Venezuela. He did NOT have the authority, he did NOT have a declaration of war from Congress.

What he DOES now have is precedent for a "law enforcement action" that lets him disappear people. Congress needs to HOLD HIM ACCOUNTABLE.

In just over 2 years of diligent service to the people of Indiana, I have walked to work and back every single work day, totaling around 1,000,000 steps and 500 miles total.

Imagine how far I'm willing to go when I make it to the State House as the D97 House Rep.

Hiya Bluesky!

Some of you know me as the socialist trans woman running for State Representative in Bloomington, Indiana.

What you might not know is that my sister @shydale4house.bsky.social is also running to unseat a moderate Democrat incumbent in the district next door. Give her some love!

A reminder that if you want to support my effort to unseat a 22 year moderate incumbent, I can absolutely use the help of remote volunteers, and also donations of $5-10 can go a long way! (Donation form on my campaign website)

To be blunt, the federal Constitution needs to be amended to remove being Commander in Chief of the military from the president. It's too much power for any one person, and it's the only guaranteed way to ensure that Congress as a body maintains control of our military.

Trump in a single gaggle on Air Force One just threatened:

-- a second strike against Venezuela
-- Cuba
-- Mexico
-- Colombia
-- Iran
-- Greenland (which in turn would be an attack on the EU and Denmark)

I just did a significant update to the list which drives the Democrats Feed, adding a large number of Democrats who have joined in the last few months.

If you see an account which shouldn't be in this feed, or one which needs to be added, please let me know.

Congress must immediately act to impeach & imprison Donald Trump.

And if they fail to do so, the rest of the world should punish the USA just as heavily as was done to Russia for attacking Ukraine.

We should not get to kidnap heads of state & "run" sovereign countries like vassals.

Trump promised no “new stupid wars,” yet he’s starting one with Venezuela without congressional approval.

People can’t afford groceries and millions are losing healthcare, but this is where his focus is.

This is unconstitutional and not what the American people asked for.
