🧵 AN OPPORTUNITY TO SOLVE A PROBLEM

We lost ground—not just w/young Black men, but w/men of all backgrounds. Let’s figure out how to make gains.

The party has a listening problem. Showing up 2 weeks before an election won’t cut it. Engagement needs to be year-round, local, focused on real issues.

This crazy MOFO has been discussing invading Mexico, Annexing Canada, taking back the Panama Canal & now he says he wants Greenland!

He's deranged & dangerous!
Stark raving mad!

Please explain why the press isn't covering the question of his mental unfitness non-stop.

THIS IS NUTS!

Trump thinks he can just invade foreign countries? Mexico, Canada, Panama (canal), and now Greenland.

I’m convinced Trump wants to follow the Putin-Ukraine model.

Democrats cannot simply respond institutionally to Trump. We need Extra-judicial, anti-institutional responses to meet the morality of the moment.

Institutional Resistance Is Futile
It’s time for the Democratic Party to abandon its staid, rules-based resistance to Trumpism and wage a fierce, moral response.

Public officials who claim to oppose "indoctrination" in public schools are in fact trying to use even elementary schools for religious indoctrination. This op ed by @peoplefor.bsky.social president @svantemyrick.bsky.social focuses on a new Texas curriculum thehill.com/opinion/educ...

There are many critical changes needed for how we elect our leaders. Getting rid of the Electoral College is high among them.
California, a state of nearly 40,000,000 people, has the same amount of representation in the United States Senate as Wyoming, a state of less than 600,000 people.

This is the direct result of a deal struck between slave states and free states in the 1700s.

It’s time for that to change.
