This makes Dems messaging issues all the more clear.
Democracy & rule of law might not have worked in 2024, because most thought once again, we were exaggerating. But with all that has now happened, I think it would work now!!!

Everyone should listen to Chris Murphy's extraordinary warning about Trump on our pod. First, he says the logic must be that the more lawless he gets, the stiffer the resistance.

This 👇, is SPOT ON ((( !!! ))). Please read & share Jack's thread below, FAR & WIDE.
The Democratic Party needs to get younger, feistier, smarter at messaging and more in touch with the electorate, both at the state and federal levels.
Democratic voters need to get more discerning about who they choose to fight against the rising tide of oligarchic fascism.

Soo true!!!
The one bright spot is that Trump and MAGA are extremely reckless and borderline incompetent in their pursuit of absolute power. The FCC chair is literally tweeting and admitting the illegal plan in broad daylight.

Dems. Wanna get your polling out of the gutter? Stop talking about redrawing house maps in blue states and do it. Go big. Don't match them seat for seat. Blow them out of the water. Then endorse Mamdani. You're welcome.

Don't know who said it first but it bears repeating—if you really don't think what Musk repeatedly did was a Nazi salute, please record yourself doing that exact thing and post it across all social media, and make sure your employer sees it.

The Texas State Board of Education adopted a new Bible-infused curriculum for elementary school students.
The new lessons elevate Christianity over the other major world religions.
This curriculum is un-constitutional, un-American, and deeply un-Christian.

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.
