If you're in power in NJ, NY, MD, CO, IL, WA, OR, wake the fuck up and announce steps to redraw the maps so that Democrats are not drawn out of power forever.

To whoever did this at the #NoKings in Boston: Thank you.❤️ It made me tear up. And we must to be reminded of needless damage to humanity that results directly from the careless, bellicose bluster coming from the Pentagon and White House.

IF I lived in the IL-09 district I’d vote for Kat Abughazaleh aka @katmabu.bsky.social in the Dem primary today. Kat understands and tells the plain truth about the moment this country’s in. She’s smart and brave - repeatedly shows up to confront ICE where they are. We need more like her in power!
