#BetterDems I like "furious cello guys for Saikat" as a strategy. Saikat - keep leaning in until you find the spark that sets the bonfire. Maybe you need all the musical instruments before your noise gets heard? (aka "likes go up, then up-up") Maybe all the different jobs? Keep pushing. I believe!

You can't spell progressive without progress and we've made a lot of it since we started this campaign. We’ve climbed more than 12 points in the polls in just a few months — and when voters hear about the campaign, we actually beat Pelosi by 6. And we have nine months until the primary!

Who is Fanny Hensel? A very interesting figure in classical music! “She found a way to put music and art into her life, even though she wasn’t supposed to, and we have maybe 450 surviving works by her, and she only lived to be 41 years old, so, a very prolific composer.” - @henselpushers.bsky.social
