🚨🚨Hey folks apparently we still have a chance to stop this deal but we need to get one of these 8 to flip their votes: Durbin, Rosen, Cortez Masto, King, Kaine, Fetterman, Shaheen, Hassan. If one of them is yours, please get on the phone right now and tell them to reverse their vote. 202-224-3121🚨🚨

This should have been the conversation after the election last year, this and the interplay of racism.

Separate from this I would also have loved more conversations about those who didn’t vote last election and stop chasing the imaginary moderate conservative votes.

This is what I wish we could see more of. @neguse.house.gov thank you for this.
The Trump administration’s lawlessness cannot be ignored.

Period.

So what’s next? Tomorrow’s mass call of movement leaders and activists is all about that. Our pro-democracy movement is surging, and it’s up to each of us to channel this incredible energy into the organizing power it will take to win. Let’s get to work: www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

Heartbreaking but important read. The impact of COVID on children has been downplayed from the start. I worry about the immense number of kids who aren’t getting tested at all or are just taking one home test says - and don’t test again. Reminder it can take days of being sick before showing +
Long Covid Is Real — And It’s Changing an Entire Generation

Hundreds of thousands of kids in America are struggling with an illness that many doctors and schools refuse to recognize.e

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

They are scared and we need to show up in numbers that can’t be ignored. Please if you truly feel we the people deserve a healthy democracy, that our country needs to be better, that we do not want a dictator then find your local No Kings action for October 18th. Nokings.org Silence is compliance

@schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social just thought this was a valid thought you should probably consider. You’re either on the side of democracy or you are complicit in its demise.
Democrats should never vote to fund a government that's waging war on its own citizens and firing officials *because* they insist on following court orders instead of breaking the law. Let Senate Republicans nuke the filibuster. None of this is normal and it shouldn't be treated as such.

This! MSM’s whitewashing of Kirk, the firing of Dowd, their gaslighting their audience and their catering to the twitter audience pours fuel on the fire. It deepens the divide and works to perpetuate a culture of hate, bigotry and violence.
The fact that Matthew Dowd lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

One thing I feel like we aren’t talking about that I just need to speak to as a female genxer. These letters are disturbing for sure but they also remind me of the disgusting way almost all men would talk about women when I was growing up.
The Epstein birthday book...is giving me The Burn Book vibes.

The obsession of possessing girls and women like they are collectibles to share with their buddies.

Cucks really just want to see different cucks, using their beautiful props like candy.

Even if you can’t make it please spread the word. Too many people still say they don’t know about crap this admin is doing. We can’t underestimate the power of complacency and the pull to stay blind. Let’s get loud in the streets and keeping waking people up!
🚨 SAVE THE DATE: OCTOBER 18.

Millions of Americans took to the streets in June to drown out Trump’s birthday parade.

As Trump’s regime escalates his authoritarian power grab, we’re gathering again on 10/18 for a nationwide day of peaceful protests to say NO KINGS: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Yep I’ll never forget the church group who would come in like clockwork, huge group, and I was the only server who would take them because they made every other server cry. They were horrible human beings who barely tipped, if they did but they would always leave me prayer cards
Sorry food workers just know I've been there. I feel for you.
