I'm here cuz the other place sucked and probably tossed the election to the orange cult leader. Convince me I'm wrong. Also, if your feed is blank or has a few posts with cute memes, I'm not following.

This list is hardly exhaustive but some good Dems on this list ready to make good trouble. There are some other people who are "politically adjacent" and in the fight.

Texas sends its love. Our national guard don’t want to be there either.

I think she knows the Antifa parties are more fun. She wants an invite.

Does this mean we need to invite MTG to the next Antifa get-together? I’m confused.

Can some Dem find a judge and swear in Rep Grijalva and get this nation some clarity on #EpsteinFiles and #shutdown? TIA.

Hey @mcuban.bsky.social Can you get involved in this somehow? I know your drug company is doing great things cutting drug prices for people.

Where is the Republicans healthcare plan?

For nine years, Republicans have told America. We have a replacement plan for ObamaCare.

This is the perfect time to present their plan to the American people.

Good. Now arrest the ICE agents. And their supervisor. Start causing some good trouble.

I'm a notary. I'll be happy to fly to DC and swear in Rep. Grijalva. It would bring a quick end to the #EpsteinFile trauma, federal #shutdown and #MosesMike incessantly lying.

Different but equally relevant -- do you have a judge friend who can swing over to the Capitol and swear in Rep Grijalva? Clearly the US code allows judges to do such a thing. Seems like we might get resolution to #EpsteinFiles #Shutdown #BlowingUpBoats and #DOJRunAmok pretty quickly.

I'm a notary, I'll do it. Or ask Kagan or Jackson to walk across the street and do it. Or one of the DC district court judges. I'm sure you can find volunteers. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @ericswalwell.bsky.social @aoc.bsky.social @crockett.house.gov

Is it true a judge can swear in Rep-Elect Grijalva? If so, PLEASE - stop letting the speaker impede & obstruct -
—Call a press conference on the capitol steps, and let a judge swear her in NOW. Thank you.

If Republicans can casually ignore precedent, so can Democrats.

Speaker Johnson has no right to stop duly elected representatives from taking office.

Call a press conference on the capitol steps, and swear in Democratic Representative-Elect Adelita Grijalva - NOW.

Johnson: Miss Grijalva has not yet had a scheduled date because she was elected after the house was out of session,

Gallego: You don't want her to be on the Epstein discharge.

Johnson: You guys are experts at red herrings.

Gallego: This is an excuse

Trust me. They don't want to be there. I'm sorry Abbott is our governor. I really truly am. But Pritzker is a better man and can beat Abbott at this game. #epsteinfiles #shutdown #SeatGrijalva

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

From the snarky side of BlueSky -- Pammie looks like hell. The bags under her eyes and the makeup an inch thick say to me she has not been living her best life these past six months.

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

This Texan is so proud that Gov. Pritzker is in this fight for democracy. Abbott and Paxton can go pound sand. I hope once we get beyond this nightmare, they are tried for treason.
