My name is Suzanna Shkreli and today I’m announcing my Democratic campaign for Secretary of State in Michigan.
My parents came to this country to flee authoritarianism. Now as those same threats take root here at home, I’m ready to defend our democracy and safeguard Michiganders’ right to vote.

Remember the pundits saying the red arrows in 2024 indicated permanent political change…?

While Trump was displaying real-time cognitive decay at the UNGA, we were all cringing. Here is the Swiss Foreign Minister. We are all Ignazio Cassis today. Maybe everyday the Dolt in Chief speaks.

When Trump's facist reign is over, instead of teaching children to blindly pledge allegiance, I suggest they be taught about the US Constitution, Declaration of Independence and how fucking awful Trump's regime was.

Senate Republicans just sold out the sick and the hungry to cut taxes for the rich and the powerful.
What would Jesus do about this “Big Beautiful Bill”?
I think he would flip over the tables of injustice and call on us to do the same.

Democratic Party gatekeepers HATE him! Click to learn this one weird trick that @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social discovered to win elections! (and how you can too!)
This @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social video is absolutely INCREDIBLE. The numbers he cites, the strategy and results they produced — it’s the future. When have you heard *any* campaign talk about this, ever? (Video split in 2 to fit in Bluesky’s limits)

This is what true leadership looks like. You lead with compassion & empathy. You comfort & heal.
Not the hateful BS happening right now.
I miss Biden’s leadership. He wasn’t perfect, but he is a good man & a true leader.
These pics don’t fit their narrative of him being unfit.
