Nobody in the US is going to be able to do anything to help Gaza if we are living under authoritarianism. We are going to start seeing deaths in this country skyrocket from a lack of public health, healthcare and food.

This is an oxygen mask situation. Hold Dems accountable, but build coalitions!

Yeah giving it to someone who isn't messy might give people too many ideas.

A Qatari air force base in the continental US feels illegal, like it should be illegal, or require congress.

Is there precedent for this?

I stand with Letitia James! She has a great attorney, and it should be fairly easy to show she wasn't intentionally committing fraud. We're going to have to wait and see how things play out. So far no one will co-chair with Halligan, and she's never tried a criminal case - let alone against an AG.

There's one that keeps trying to feed itself oil that it's leaking. I don't remember a food one though.

New statement from AG James:

"This is nothing more than a continuation of the president's desperate weaponization of our justice system.

"I am not fearful — I am fearless."

My grandmother was not only the girlfriend of a founding member of Antifa, she was a founding member of Antifa.

The Dems are doing the right thing by standing up for American's healthcare. There's no provision in their bill for "Illegal Aliens".

Legal immigrants are called "Aliens" in government documents.

Hospitals get paid for providing emergency care so they don't close due to bankruptcy.

ICE is surveilling Americans (without due process).

ICE is monitoring the location of hundreds of millions of people (citizens as well) through cell phones.

ICE is arresting, shooting and assaulting American citizens.

ICE is an unregulated gestapo. ICE is a human rights violation.

Dems are talking about things everyday. 1) It's hard to name every specific incident- that is by design

2) Dem accounts are being throttled in algorithms (For bake you have to be following accounts or similar to see posts)

3) Almost all traditional media is owned by maga now. Dems can't get on.

Under normal circumstances it might be a good reason to drop out.

My favorite part editor once said to me "Writers like you give editors jobs."

I wasn't mad.

repost this if an editor has ever saved you from yourself

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

priorities. One priority is bringing in more young people, diversity and volunteers. I'm glad I get to be part of this.

In our County Democratic Party monthly executive meeting (It's open to the public). So far we've heard directly from people working on Colorado's rail protect. The project starts with stops from Denver to Fort Collins. And now we're hearing from the executive director. He's highlighting new

Dershowitz is also afraid of the Epstein Files!

The House seems to be shut down over the Epstein Files (closed hours after treasury info on Epstein's account became available).

Trump is sending the military to invade our cities because of the Epstein Files.

One scandal is bringing down the USA

There are resources available for military families. Has anyone connected you to them?

Nichole Miner @ebpadvocate.bsky.social · 2d

I was in an active duty family, I'm low income, a care taker for my daughter, and my only source of income is Medicaid.

I understand how hard it can be and I'm sorry

My favorite part of the hearing was Sen. Dick Durbin telling Pam Bondi she will have to answer for her actions someday. The look on her face was great. More of this!

Day 7 of the Shutdown

Mike Johnson seems to be scared of debating Jefferies on the House floor live.

Adelita Grijalva is still not sworn in - Denying her constituents representation.

Trump is trying to scare everyone with the insurrection act.

Dems are holding it together!

Nichole Miner @ebpadvocate.bsky.social · 3d

Being upset with these Dem leaders is understandable, many have been part of a system that has gotten us here. But the Party has represented left wing politics for a long time.

If you want the Democratic Party to change you have to participate in it. Vote, register, volunteer!

I don't know, they all are.

Colorado is...dicey with all of the installations and guard units we have here. I do not envy the person walking that tight rope right now.
