I agree. Blue states need to be at the front lines showing good governance and show Americans the alternative to the craziness

When you try to explain to folks the election was about immigration and not inflation….

Find somewhere you can volunteer. People are going to need you to build community now more than ever

You will be overwhelmed trying to keep up what the Trump administration is doing every minute.

I focus on my state.

Most of the horrible executive orders will run through state government. Start with them. Your sheriffs. Your county commissioners. State Rep. State Senator. Governor.

One of the biggest fights of 2025 will be the Wisconsin Supreme Court race on April 1.

Control of the court is at stake.

Susan Crawford is the candidate who will defend our freedoms and democracy. Please chip in to help her defeat her far-right opponent.

Bolts does some badly needed journalism on criminal justice and the stakes- not the odds - of elections. Well worth your support.

Whoever came up with the insult “are schools illegal in America?” really cooked us tbh.

Black America do not get involved. The people voted for this. Let them FAFO

We need a current 2025 version

How else can I make people care about state supreme courts!

Please follow & support us at @bolts.bsky.social for precisely this: we take these state institutions & offices so seriously — and we will be there every step of the next few years tracking them — and you can judge why it matters.

With the GOP sweep of Federal control… our attention must turn to states! Who’s your state legislator? Get to know them - they can literally save your life in these next few years!

NEW: Trump's win cements conservative dominance on federal courts—& that makes state courts even more crucial for progressive litigants.

So I took a look at the results in all 32 states that had supreme court races last week—78 seats total.

More important than ever:

Follow us @bolts.bsky.social to be part of our audience as we build up and expand.

The best approach to take:

Mind your own business and let folks find out for themselves.

All dems have to do is recite this mantra and that covers ALL.

Don't over think it or over analyze it.

Dummy down your message so you don't get caught in a GOP cultural web.

I made a Black women in tech starter pack because I couldn’t find one and it annoyed me.
