This video explains why #altgov and #altfam will not sell merch.

@altnps.bsky.social is a scam. They are not a verified Alt.

Be careful who you give your money to.

Grifters gonna grift.

The weirdest grift I've ever covered. Having kept my lips tight while preparing for this, I'm ready to be blocked by AltNPS now. I have a lot of people to thank for making this video possible, including those in #AltGov #AltFam. Specific credits and thanks in 🧵

Sad day for American when Felon47 literally tears down the respected original White House nog one person in Congress tried to stop those well, republicans would need to be at work to stop it.

This brought tears to my eyes, hurt my heart.
“White House begins demolishing East Wing facade to build Trump’s ballroom
The president had claimed construction of the $250 million ballroom wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure.”

-A living wage
-Guaranteed healthcare
-The right to join a union
-The right to vote
-The right to choose when, how, and with whom you start a family
-The right for you and your family to live free from gun violence

These are the foundations of real freedom.

End Citizens United In Your State

Citizens United held that government may not regulate a corporation’s right to spend obscene amounts of money in elections.

But the court did not define what a corporation is—it could not.

State Government can do that.

The Corporate Power Reset That Makes Citizens United Irrelevant

By using their authority to define what corporations are—and what powers they hold—states can end the era of corporate and dark money in U.S. politics.

Didn’t Rs give guns back to mentally ill and spousal abuse people? Why would they care about this one?

How do we find all these trolling accounts and block them? It would be nice to make them useless.

It’s been a battleground area for the last several elections. I’m hoping we push blue with full force and stay blue.

We were in GR event. I heard that but didn’t see what was going on. We did see cops off on side streets and other places. I’m hoping they radioed ahead and stopped him.

Ugh. I didn’t want to but I went out and viewed that one. No, their messaging is terrible but they all say the same lie over and over till their base believes it. Democrats can’t manage to get the facts out over and over to fix these lies. I have no idea how to fix it. I’m just frustrated with it.

Let’s face it… all media sucks right now. We have Sinclair & Nexstar in our area. I don’t watch it. It’s time to build up online messaging. Republicans have done it why can’t democrats? And where is the DNC leader? Why aren’t we getting a strong lead from that area.

JollyHolly @jollyholly2.bsky.social · 2d

It’s likely fake account. No posts and minimal followers. Block the idiot.

JollyHolly @jollyholly2.bsky.social · 2d

That’s why we need better leaders of the dem party that can communicate. The party needs to get it together on messaging and how to message. Republicans are good at messaging but have disgusting messages. Who will be that leader we need?

Get rid of the electoral college and demand independent bipartisan commission to draw districts in each state. Outlaw gerrymandering and take down citizens united. I’m tired of the minority telling the majority what to do.

Our federal tax dollars are being used to fund a network of government social media accounts that pump out disinformation 24/7. Even during a government shutdown. It’s definitely not essential work.

Well done, Detroit! We shouldn’t have to accept her “Noem-enclature.”

A tweet from Barb McQuade reads: “Today at Detroit Metro Airport.” The attached photo shows an airport security area with stanchions and blue lane dividers, where travelers are lined up in the background. In the foreground, there’s a large yellow sign with black text that reads: “ATTENTION: The views expressed in this TSA controlled video do not represent the views of the Wayne County Airport Authority. The Wayne County Airport Authority does not engage in partisan politics. Thank you.”
