If we want to have a good presidential candidate in 2028, not just another moderate, then we *must* put in the work now, locally and at state level, to change where we’re headed. Good presidential candidates don’t just come out of nowhere. They don’t gain support out of nowhere, or last minute.

Good goddess.

Amen.

Texas is preparing emergency resources for wildfires and floods. The Texas National Guard should be THERE — not in Illinois. We stand ready to support their return home so they are best positioned for helping Texans respond to any natural disasters.

New books acquired from BOL Co-op in DC. #booksky

The fact that I saw way more yard signs for the billionaire-owned stadium to be sponsored by taxpayer dollars than Free DC signs is a huge sign of what we’re up against. Money is power. #freedc @freedcproject.bsky.social

People really love using moderation lists on here for hyperbolic purposes. I literally have no idea what this person I don’t recognize did this for other than maybe they’re mad that I complained about the CEO of Bluesky and said I won’t promote this site anymore.

We will not allow ICE to operate in the shadows while they surveil us and violate our rights. Our responsibility is to protect civil liberties, not surrender them. @repshontelbrown.bsky.social, @repyassansari.bsky.social and I are demanding answers about their use of spyware against US citizens.

Pope Leo XIV has blasted how wealthy people live in a “bubble of comfort and luxury” while the poor suffer. In his first teaching document Thursday, Leo confirms that he is in perfect lockstep with Pope Francis on matters of social injustice.

If you are a federal worker, there are several credit unions and other financial institutions that are offering zero interest loans during the government shutdown. Please go to my website for more information: www.sanders.senate.gov/resources-fo...

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

The United States is in the midst of a “cold civil war.” For liberals to win it, they must use “hardball” tactics—including borrowing from the Republicans’ own playbook. trib.al/YCNSjiC

I so want this to be true. But will it change anything? He has already set up such a horrible system with the help of his minions & oligarchs, and they can just maintain it after him. The right wing propaganda complex will just prop up JD Vance as the epitome of virtue & pretend this never happened.

Has it now? 🤔

Nice idea, but doesn’t interest me. I don’t want false hope. I want the hope that comes from doing the work it will take to make that actually happen. The Nuremberg trials only happened because of foreign intervention by a greater world power. There is no democratic world power comparable to ours.

It all became the plan when he got away with January 6th.

The Convicted FElon has finally united the people on one thing. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

ASAP!

as of today, every paramount property is dead to me

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files. But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

They still haven’t found all the missing children from the floods. Why are they more worried about Illinois than about the children in Texas?

I'll never stop being pissed off about this. I protested FOR Pro-Choice when I was 13 yrs old. My Mom had to drive me. And here I am at nearly 68 STILL protesting! WTAF? Come on people, let's get this shit DONE!!! LFG!!!

💯

Today, protestors outside a MAGA restaurant in DC asked a woman leaving if she enjoyed her fascist meal and how fascism tastes. She enthusiastically said yes and “great!” Wild.

I can’t get over this. Trump bailed out Argentina farmers with $20 billion of our tax dollars, then China turned around and bought soybeans from them instead of US farmers. Not AMERICA FIRST, America got played.

For the love of #democracy, please ONLY do this for billionaire-owned news media. #oligarchy #boycott #newsmedia #news

"Facebook executives have tolerated the promotion on their platform of propaganda, terrorist recruitment, and genocide. They point to democratic virtues like free speech to defend themselves, while dismantling democracy itself." Mic drop. archive.ph/ORpu2 #socialmedia #tech #democracy #facebook

I know it's a process to get there. But how do we get there? FreeDC has people making noise every night, but only for 5 minutes and our populace is more spread out than in many European cities. I guess it's preparation for something bigger. #protests #protest #france #usa #democracy

DC is our HOME. We have seen the full force of the Trump regime, but they have not heard silence from the people of DC. October 18th, when we march to the national mall, our voices will be deafening! #nokings #nokingsday #nokingsday2 #50501movement #resist #resistance #dc #dmv #washingtondc #trump

Interesting question!

The CEO of the company compiling a database of all US residents for the federal government DOESN’T EVEN OWN A CELLPHONE. Alex Karp, the CEO of Palantir, doesn’t own a cellphone phone in 2025 because he knows it’s a privacy nightmare.

If you like yelling about misuse of the passive voice, THIS IS IT.

36min 52,000 electoral races coming up in this country. Turnout, and therefore canvassing and encouraging people to vote, will be super important. Called my aunt and texted my cousin to tell them to vote YES on PA supreme court justice retention. Look at DSA calendar for MD canvassing opportunities.

Of course MAGA Meta is cool with the N word. Doesn’t go against Zuck’s community standards.

🚨🚨 WE NEED EVERYONE IN THE DC AREA OUT TONIGHT TO SUPPORT FLARE!! THIS IS A BLATANT ASSAULT ON FREE SPEECH, PART OF A NATIONAL CRACKDOWN ON PROTEST SITES TARGETING THE MOST EFFECTIVE PEACEFUL ACTIVISTS CALLING FOR THE REMOVAL OF THIS ILLEGAL REGIME. WE WILL NOT BE SILENCED!!

Secretary Noem should no longer be able to step foot inside the State of Illinois without any form of public accountability. Last time when the secretary was here, she snuck in during the early morning to film social media videos and fled before sunrise.

Seen in Dupont Circle.

Propagandists are bombarding rural Pennsylvanians telling to vote no on retaining any Dem state Supreme Court justices. Contact anyone you know and tell them to vote yes! This is extremely important. #democracy #elections

8th COVID vaccination down. CVS actually asked me if I wanted the shot when I went to pick up my medication, then gave it to me on the spot without even asking about an appointment. Same thing happened a month ago with the flu shot.

7th COVID vaccine booster unlocked! The DC local government fucks up a lot, but they did good protecting our access to the vaccine.

So no Dems or major news media are going to treat the more than a thousand people disappeared from Alligator Alcatraz as a story worthy of persistent pressure? Got it.

The thing about Trump bailing Argentina out to the tune of 20 billion while shutting down the US government to kick Americans off healthcare… Argentina has universal healthcare. 😑

#protest #teargas #safety #selfdefense

Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."

Seriously?! Wtf
