Ode to the Portland frog

From the mist of the moss
And the gray Oregon rain,
Their leaps, a green hero to ease all the pain.
My love for this frog is a powerful thing,
For the justice and freedom
his ribbit can bring

Does it have to be the speaker that swears her in? Can @housedemocrats.bsky.social find another way?

She's dully elected. Is say just go to an office and start working like she's always been there. That is what Gov Beashear did when GOP were trying to question who won.

🚨 25 DAYS TO GO.

I've also created a SECOND VA page focusing on the REDDEST districts in the state.

Most of these Dems likely won't win, but funding them means they can run competitive races & force VA Republicans to defend "safe" turf. Donate today! #Blue25

@activateamerica.bsky.social does too! I'm writing with turnoutpac and finishing the last of 500 postcards. Hoping that all this effort works.
But I am buoyed to see so many organizations pitching in!
I even got a call from Vote Forward volunteer to ask me to write.

That's great but what about the 27 VA dem candidates running in red districts? Can they get some $$? Turnout in these areas will benefit everyone up and down the ticket.

Candidates like @cgreen2024.bsky.social are running in areas that haven't seen Dem candidates in decades.

Cindy Green for VA House District 44 @cgreen2024.bsky.social · 15h

$5,000,000 versus $5,000

A national group focused on electing Democrats to state legislatures is pouring more than $5 million into Virginia House races this November. Not one penny of that $5 million is going to any of the 27...

Protest but also vote! Early voting started in VA. NJ mail ballots have been mailed out and need to be returned. There’s still time to register to vote.

What is the point of having the biggest protest if NJ elections end up with a MAGA Governor?!?

If protests spur blue wave, it will set the tone.

Fox is pathetic.
That their viewers fall for this, smdh.
Call your maga parents and show them this!

Mrs. Betty Bowers @mrsbettybowers.bsky.social · 1d

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.

You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.

If you have a GOP rep or Senator —- CALL!! It works!!!

5 Calls @5calls.org · 1d

MTG: About 60% of the calls coming in right now are calls of support and saying yes, health insurance is a crisis... I'm getting phone calls from people that are saying that if the ACA tax credits expire they aren't going to be able to have health insurance, they're going to have to drop it.

Aftyn’s victory is proof that grassroots power can win — she did this with people, not PACs. No dark money, no corporate strings — just neighbors, volunteers, and small-dollar donors who believe in democracy. Do not underestimate Tennesseans!

Pennsylvanians are not going to fall for billionaire Jeff Yass' lies.

A fact-check of a billionare-funded mailer on judicial retention.

If Jeffrey Yass has to resort to misinformation to win your vote, he has an ulterior and self-serving motive.

Fight misinformation and vote YES on retention.
