Flood the zone. Electeds, activists, & leaders, don’t assume people know what’s going on. Tell them everywhere that:

Trump & Republicans stopped Medicaid.

Trump & Republicans stopped housing assistance.

Trump & Republicans stopped schooling for children.

The republican party and its supporters have been very clear, for a very long time, that they're not really that concerned about what they say having any consistency of thought or basis in morality.

MULLIN: It's not. What I was trying to get to is if you're capable of doing your job and you're able to still drink on the job or late in the evening, don't tell me that Pete can't

"Republicans are advancing a bill targeting our beloved troops who fought for freedom on the battle field, firing them and leaving them jobless." - my mirror universe fox news anchor
"republicans try to purge vets who fought for freedom" is how fox would do it and theres no reason democrats cant all say it
Today in Oversight:

Republicans are advancing a bill that would fire all government workers - including Veterans - from offices related to diversity, equity, and inclusion, banning them from being reassigned.

How does firing qualified workers and Veterans improve efficiency?

ok one more "how we do it on bluesky" re: "block, don't engage." it's not that anybody wants to tell you what to do -- it's that we collectively realized that this is what works. it works really great! zero, zero response needed. just block! don't argue at all with dickheads! try it! you'll see.

Dems already did this on immigration and got painted as open border communist globalists anyway. This simply does not work. Dems need to have a back bone and actually argue from their differences with conservatives rather than bending over and adopting conservative lite positions because of polls.
growing chorus of “throw trans people to the wolves” from high profile libs is not shocking but it is certainly nerve-wracking lol

Democrats should use this inflection point to shift ground – from being the party of well-off college graduates, big corporations, “never-Tumpers” like Dick Cheney and vacuous “centrism” – to an anti-establishment party ready to shake up the system on behalf of the vast majority of Americans.

The lesson of this election is that Democrats must attack inequality – and not cede working-class voters to Trump

30 years ago, I gave a speech warning of a two-tiered society composed of a few winners and a larger group of Americans left behind, whose anger and whose disillusionment could be easily manipulated.

We're seeing the ramifications of this yet again.

In 1994, I took a lot of heat for this speech warning that the American middle class was in danger. That was 29 years ago this week. Watch and tell me if I w...

I'm going to be real, I've been giving Threads a try and I'm not really digging it so much. Too much engagement bait. How is it over here?
