This @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social video is absolutely INCREDIBLE. The numbers he cites, the strategy and results they produced — it’s the future. When have you heard *any* campaign talk about this, ever? (Video split in 2 to fit in Bluesky’s limits)

Question: Would it be fair to call Trump a stochastic terrorist? And if so, would all the elected officials who parrot his demonization of Americans be stochastic terrorists as well?

My next protest sign might be:
Trump is a terrorist!
(stochastic)

This was more encouraging than I thought. Dover, NH had two No Kings protests today. It was surprisingly large. The response from passing motorists was largely supportive; honking, cheering, waving flags, and waving their own signs. We returned 🫶 in response to the few 🖕.

Trump has a new plan to undermine judges, and it’s called “court-baiting.” The strategy forces judges to take potentially unpopular decisions that are necessary to protect constitutional principles, then attack them for those decisions.

Not for nothing but everyone realizes that these teenagers and 20 somethings who have complete access to the Treasury payment source code are now #1 espionage recruitment targets for Russia and China, right?

Blue states should secede from the union taking our ports and tax money with us. I’m sick of the despicable behavior of Republicans denying disaster relief to the needy just because they live in a blue state. The very states whose tax dollars funded unrestricted disaster relief to red states.

You need to turn down the background music on this. It overwhelms the message a bit and is painful to listen to.

@support.bsky.team Hi - is there a way to get notifications from Bluesky? There have at least two recent events for which the people I follow have lauded The Bluesky app for keeping up with the news. I didn’t happen to catch most of the events, in real time, because I had my nose in something else

I think “It’s Itene might be a bot”. Similarly the last guy, “Engaged citizen”, might also be a bot.

If you expected the entire Bluesky universe to be sweet then you might want to review your expectations of humanity. Your sweetness ratio is in your hands. Block her and move on.

I’ve been organizing in rural areas since the first Trump administration. Rural Dems can make the difference in races at the top of the ticket.

Republicans have all of the electorate they’re ever going to have. Organize to turn out 5% to 10% more Dems in rural spaces. Watch what happens…

Wow- I was taken in by that. Everything looks real enough about it. Even @gtconway.bsky.social is listed as a follower. When I looked closer I noticed that there were only three posts however. Thanks for the heads up.
