There are many Dem reps on the federal, state, & local level who post on BlueSky. It's not that hard to use the search engine on this app to find them. So there's no excuse to be uninformed unless you just want to complain for the sake of complaining. Anyway, check out this thread to get started.

Remembering the “Queen of Soul” Aretha Franklin on her birthday (March 25, 1942 – August 16, 2018) ❤️👑🕊

Democrats can’t rely on the media to be impartial information brokers. Let’s start there. When you step back and realize just how much the media (and not just Fox) puts on the cape for and shields Trump and the GOP it puts a lot of the “Democratic messaging” gripes in perspective.

I also, for the record, have NEVER been a fan of the "RBG not retiring ruined her legacy" genre of fanfiction. If you wanted her to retire, your ass should've voted for Hillary Clinton. But you didn't give a shit about the Supreme Court, so you lost the Court for a Generation. That's on your ass!

The way I just cackled. 🤣🤣🤣

He's too young to do the retirement tour (aka MLS), so it will be interesting to see where he ends up.

Not the disease done took her dweedums! 😭😭😭😫 #BeyondtheGates

Also I’m tired of whatever Jacob and the white in law are doing in that SNL skit alley. #BeyondTheGates

Blame Dani Dupree😆 But Who is Better Movie vs BTG🙃 #BeyondTheGates #BTG

I’m so tired of looking at Jacob dress like Eminem in 8 Mile #BeyondTheGates

Dani, keep Bill at arms length. You have Andre for that. #BeyondTheGates #BTG

ICE is hard at it at major airports-this is Atlanta.

Beware the elephant in tall grass.

White person after White person said "We just love Jasmine Crockett, she's the fighter we need, she speaks truth to power etc" But when it came time to vote for her to have some power it was "James Talarico has a softer tone. He's not aggressive. He'll be able to bring us together."

The problem is people often want Black people to be resistance fighters and loud and aggressive, taking the body blows and catching the smoke while White people get to make the deals and negotiate behind the scenes. We just saw this with Jasmine Crockett vs. James Talarico.

This is the truth. And don't act cute, because we just saw it happen in real time with Rep. Crockett. 🧵

Can't even think of the last time I went to a concert. Sporting events aren't much better. Spent a few days in NYC for my birthday last fall, and was thinking about going to Knicks-Timberwolves. $300 for nosebleed seats way up top. I was like, nope, I'm good.

That these standards are never applied to their faves like Bernie is wild but we see the play.

Tut, tut, thou art all ice, thy kindness freezes.

housing is more expensive now, but also a lot safer. this kind of home was considered cream of the crop in the 1980s

Whew this episode is HEAVY. Anyone who has had a love one go through cancer knows too well this conversation with Anita & Vernon happens. Those tough days where they are the brink of giving up 😩😭 #BTG #BeyondTheGates

Vernita😭😭😭 #BeyondTheGates

This undercover operation feels like an SNL skit.😂 #BeyondTheGates #BTG

Sorry Bill, but you going on about Dani’s fire, considering you did everything you could to stomp it out, blamed her for it, and then dropped her? Man if you don’t gtfoh… #BeyondTheGates

I hope I ain’t supposed to feel bad for Vanessa because I don’t! #BeyondtheGates

#beyondthegates Dioxirubicin (“Red Devil”) chemotherapy is indeed like a minefield. Fingernails & toenails blacken, neuropathy in hands and feet, thrombocytopenia {low blood platelet count resulting in bruising and bleeding. Prone to airborne infections. #Anita

Why are you in Dani's house, Bill? #BeyondTheGates #BTG

Trump is trying hard to save face today after Iran basically said fuck you punk ass hoe bring it on. Now he’s postponing strikes and desperately trying to spin it like Iran didn’t tell him to go get his shine box.

And since we are always being thwarted by the relentless pursuit of white comfort above all else the fight is above me.

What I remember is that Black people have been trying to just mind our business and vote for what is best for ourselves, the country and the world. Yet we keep getting sucked into these “all of us” narratives that have never been about “All of us” but specifically about white comfort.

Man, you know who doesn't travel a ton through airports? Undocumented people. You know who does? Middle-aged white dudes who like to fight with security and Karens. This is going to go so well for all of them. I'm very glad I'm not traveling the next few weeks.

Never ceases to amuse me that people in the replies are yelling that the Dems need to do better messaging on this when there's Reps and Senators up and down my Skyline pointing this out. I didn't realize looking up Democratic officials in this app's search engine was such a difficult task.

Baby sent me this shit THIS MORNIN as she was tryna fly outta Bush man this shit is INSANE

She's explaining it to everyone like they're five, but it will still sail over some of your heads.

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to watch Spurs get relegated. I can watch West Ham get relegated every four years or so. DO NOT ruin this West Ham. You can go down next year. Have some patience.

It ain't officially a gathering until this and Before I Let Go are played.

Had to interrupt a Giants comms staffer's weekend so they could draft this. Tsk tsk.

Have you made a plan for when it happens? Have you designated someone in a different time zone to call if it happens in the middle of the night? Have you googled “bars open late near me?” Have a bottle of bubbly in the fridge? If you stay ready you don’t have to get ready.

Kool and the Gang will shoot to no. 1 on Spotify, and remain there for weeks.

it'll be like Black and Irish Twitter when Queen Elizabeth died 😅
