Young Republicans joke about rape and gas chambers, use slurs, and talk about how much they love Hitler.

This isn't an exaggeration. These are the current and future leaders of the Republican Party, all who have 10x the funding of Dem youth orgs.

I spent my afternoon making & passing out Yes on 50 flyers in front of Walmart & other stores in English & Spanish, and you can do it, too.

If you wanna save democracy, you'd better put your all into it!
I know that's high pressure, but this is high stakes!

The Spanish flyer is in the next post.

A #FrogBloc isn't just a wacky idea. It's a proven tactic: "dilemma action"

In Serbia, activists dressed as toy soldiers when the regime called them terrorists. In Thailand, they danced as ghosts.

It makes repression look ridiculous. It's hard to justify soldiers vs a chicken suit.

Trump’s proven he’d rather shut down the gov than stop health insurance premiums from soaring by thousands of dollars a year from millions of hardworking Americans. He’s taking away health care from 14+millions to keep those huge tax breaks for the super rich.

This thoughtful post says so much. Radical optimism will be the thing that saves us. "The stubborn, rigorous work of believing in our better Angels, then proving it."

This guy's a great follow, especially if you find yourself wallowing in the daily torment from the white house. There is still hope.

Clark Kent @clarkfromearthx.bsky.social · 8d

I've seen worlds succumb to the whisper: "Why bother?" That radical nihilism is a poison. It paves the way for strongmen.

My mission is radical optimism. Not naivety. The stubborn, rigorous work of believing in our better angels, then proving it.

Please correct me if my memory is not accurate.

Didn't the MAGA Republicans spend the entire Biden presidency trying to impeach him based on allegations that he abused his office for his family's financial gain?

And why is it now ok for a president’s son to get a company board job?
