"Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it."

This is the line that Dems need to push. It can't be simply. "Political violence is bad" it MUST be "Political violence is bad and Trump and his ilk are responsible for creating conditions ripe for political violence"

1. Last week was one of the most tumultuous and chaotic in recent memory—war in the Middle East, protests in LA, and the military patrolling U.S. streets. This chaos is a direct result of Donald Trump's erratic leadership and undermines the central premise of his candidacy

If you’re wondering What My Deal is, this piece for @thenation.com will probably answer your questions!

NC Court of Appeals gives over 60,000 challenged voters 15 days to prove eligibility
The majority wrote that, even though they have the authority to completely throw out the contested ballots, they decided to instead mandate a cure period for most of the challenged voters.

Dangerous severe weather day across portions of the Southern Plains and Ozarks, but not an easy day to see any of it with your own eyes. Could be a couple of discrete tornadic supercells in Arkansas and Missouri but should stay west of chaseable terrain (black line separates thick forest/open delta)

Today is International Transgender Day of Visibility.
There’s much to do everywhere so that trans and non-binary people can live without fear.
Our single point of reflection is this:
what’s your organisation doing to support trans+ people?

More of this please. Need more folks like @katmabu.bsky.social running for office.
I've been going to and running political events for 17 years. @katmabu.bsky.social is extremely refreshing to witness. I know how much fundraised money gets waisted on crap ads and consulting fees. To see campaigns redirected back into the community welfare is how it should be done. I'm sold.

It’s a little wonky. Some of the edge work is not as clean as I would like. I’m hoping with some blocking the edges will straighten out. I didn’t realize just how different the two dye lots were from the yarn until after it was completed. Oh well 🤷 I’m still proud #crochetsky #ctochet #tunisian

We aren’t talking about numbers on some spreadsheet when it comes to Donald Trump’s cuts to Medicaid.
These are real people in real communities whose lives are on the line.
Speak up, stand up, get engaged – it’s going to take every single one of our voices.
