Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

Yes, everyone who is fighting fascism needs to be united in fighting fascism. But the need to be united to fight fascism is the opposite of being united with people folding to fascism.

After waiting 62 days to see if Rep. McGuire, who previously defended child marriage in Virginia, would cast the necessary final vote to release the Epstein files, we finally see why. John is more loyal to Washington elites than he is to protecting young victims of sex crimes.

This has gotten lost: Abigail Spanberger won big after vowing to RESCIND Glenn Youngkin's executive order directing local cooperation with ICE and voting AGAINST the anti-immigrant Laken Riley Act. Yet she gained bigly with working class. New piece laying this out: newrepublic.com/article/2030...

man fuck this guy and the Warner he rode in on

Instead of folding like cheap chairs, Democrats should have forced the GOP to end the shutdown by killing the filibuster. Holding onto the archaic, antidemocratic tradition doesn't help them stop fascism, it makes them complicit to it. My latest in @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/poli...

I'm taking this personally, @kaine.senate.gov .

Turns out this was the right take.

You didn't get a vote. You got a "promise" of a vote. From a party who is disappearing nannies & gardeners and zip-tying children. A party who has flushed Due Process in America down the toilet. Who has subjugated its Congressional duties to an autocrat. That's what everybody sees, Tim.

8 of us. Not millions who will be unable to afford health insurance because they got scammed.

Whoa -- Sen. Durbin went to up Leader Thune during the vote last night to tell him that on the shutdown vote and ACA promise that "8 of us are sticking our neck out that you're going to keep your word. I hope you will. He said 'I assure you I will,'" Durbin says just now

Tim Kaine betrayed his constituents, but he and Mark Warner are thick as thieves. They just stole Healthcare from millions of Americans. Is there any way to put together a primary challenge to Mark Warner?

seems to me that those democrats inclined not to fight perceive themselves as living through a somewhat ordinary cycle of presidential overreach and backlash and not something much more significant and dangerous

COMPLICITY NOT COWARDICE. COMPLICITY.

if Indivisible is saying this, I'm boosting it. We need to call our Senators. Please don't let them do this.

Supposed to get a frost tomorrow so these may be the last flowers from the garden. Gomphrenas.

I guess what I'm saying is keep this energy after SNAP comes back. We always have folks in our communities who need more food than they can afford

Let this sink in. The President of the United States is now appealing a court order forcing him to feed starving children.

Jacky Rosen is one of the more moderate Democrats. She's a pretty even-keeled person and she's been livid this whole week.

The current regime is using starvation as a political tactic. We can support our neighbors and still pressure our reps to hold the line. Re-upping this for the helpers.

If you are tempted to avoid jury service because it's inconvenient or difficult, please remember this case and the others that have found citizens targeted by this administration not guilty. Jury service is public service and your participation absolutely matters.

Glenn Youngkin is now free to spend the rest of his life doing whatever the fuck Scott Walker does now.

BREAKING EXCLUSIVE MUST CREDIT: Lunch for jurors in the “sandwich guy” trial are a variety of sandwiches, according to a source familiar with lunch.

This Saturday, that means The People’s Activist Series!

Look at the shifts in VA. How do we continue to build on this? How do we safeguard our elections and our electoral systems? Locally, we are going to continue to organize. 1/

100%. Progressive ideas are GOOD ideas.

serious note: they're gonna try 5x harder to sabotage the midterms after tonight and we're gonna have to organize on a literally historic scale to stop them

AOC: "This is about, do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now? And they assignment is to come together across difference no matter what."

Now that these folks have proven beyond a doubt that they can win on such “controversial” positions like Trans rights, it’s going to be incumbent on all of us to stay the fucking course and keep establishment Dems on their heels for the foreseeable future.

I do think yesterday’s results reinforced the dynamic that while much of the American leadership class is chickenshit, most of the electorate is not

Politicians should probably get on Bluesky to get better in touch with the American electorate.

I don’t think this was about the Democratic Party. It was about Democratic voters.

At the risk of sounding petty, calls for Democratic unity going forward are all well and good, but let’s not forget that the reason Cuomo ran against Mamdani in the first place was a last-ditch effort by the New York Democratic Party to ratfuck their duly elected nominee.

The headline 😘.

I have some niblings and grand-niblings that will love these!

Join us each Saturday in November at Visible Records, 2-3:30pm. CHILDCARE will be available. See more here:

JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing. Let me tell you two menswear stories related to this claim. 🧵

What's next, you say? Just, you know, art in service to building the democratic future we deserve.

Indicting this person is going to go well for them I'm sure. Good move.

Public testimony in support of the redistricting amendment coming from huge number of other-issues advocacy groups--Planned Parenthood, environmental, affordability, and disadvantaged communities. Because it's apparent that when our democracy fails, it affects every other issue.

i was all in on mamdani until i found out that he called his dad's cousin his "aunt" instead of using the term we all know and love, "cousin once removed"

reminder that if Jay Jones doesn’t win we’re going to be constantly dealing with this bullshit for the next four years.

Resources for food insecurity in Crozet & Central VA. Thanks to @indivisiblecville.bsky.social www.realcrozetva.com/2025/10/28/r...

Just a note that menstrual products are the most requested / least donated items in food pantries so if you have the means to pick up supplies perhaps consider it

There’s money to bomb boats in Venezuela. There’s money to give $50k signing bonuses to ICE & increase their weapons budget 700% There’s $40 billion for Argentina There’s money for military vanity parades. But there’s no money for SNAP, healthcare or housing. Got it.

Reminder that if Virginia poceeds with redistricting whoever is our Attorney General will defend us (or not) against the inevitable legal challenges. Not to mention defend (or not) our right to an abortion. Please VOTE for JAY JONES. We need him and he's gonna need every vote.

Thinking a lot recently about the outrage over Lizzo playing James Madison's flute

I hear people saying the UVA deal is at least better than others. But if I'm understanding this 🧵right, the UVA deal + the False Claims Act incentivizes people making themselves rich off ratting out the university for doing anything decent w/r/t equity. We've been had.
