So HERE IS WHAT YOU DO:
Start/join your local Dem group.
Get out the vote. Door knock, donate, write postcards, etc.
TALK. To. Your. Community. Your racist family. EVERYBODY. Tell them what the gop is doing and HOW IT WILL EFFECT THEM. And stop both sidesing this. It’s democracy vs fascism. Period

The Last Mile with USAID @thelastmileusaid.bsky.social · 5h

Idaho’s budget did not collapse by mistake. The Republican supermajority chose it. They gave the wealthy tax cuts and left everyone else with the bill. Now the deficit is unconstitutional. When government serves wealth the state and its people are left starving.

Two Idaho Republican leaders walk and talk inside the state capitol building. A headline from the Idaho Capital Sun reads: “Idaho projected to end fiscal year with unconstitutional $56.6M state budget deficit.”

That sounds about right. Performance is more important than competency. Sigh.

White America is more supportive of people dressed as frogs than we were of electing Ms Harris last November.

Yeah. That’s the way. I’ve lost friends and I’m more than fine with it. Don’t even miss them and that’s pathetic but true.

I’ve read this tweet from GOP Rep. Mike Lawler 20 times, and the only conclusion I can draw is that in his heart of hearts he wants to repeal the Affordable Care Act in its entirety, leaving tens of thousands of his constituents without healthcare.

Take note, #NY17 voters.

Shocking!

Chicago 21222 @chicago21222.bsky.social · 5h

How about voting for ppl who can do the fvcking job. That’s the bare minimum. The REPUBLICANS are the ones with the dark money. If I have to say this to you you’re blocked.

They get no medals bc they are the reason we are here. They are trash. I hope they all go BK.

Chicago 21222 @chicago21222.bsky.social · 5h

Because you can’t handle the truth. That’s obvi to most intelligent ppl.

Chicago 21222 @chicago21222.bsky.social · 5h

True. But as we know talk is cheap. Vote accordingly or stay home. They better be registering ppl to vote. Because the ONLY thing that America should be concentrating on rn is getting out the vote. If you’re not engaged in this? You’re the problem. Period. This isn’t hard and it’s non negotiable.

No it doesn't. Did Obama move the needle during the last election. The bell was rang and white people didn't listen.

People calling for Obama or Harris to do more as citizens are asking them to put themselves at jeapordy, not worried that harm may come because THAT is what you hope might help.

No, this is a white people's issue. It's just now affecting poor and middle class white people now.

Reminder below of who chooses this at majority numbers.

Maybe you should go focus on them.

Vaccines are safe and effective.

Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support.

When you want information, ask your doctor.

It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.

Despite what some, including at DHS, are claiming, this video isn’t from a year ago in Chicago. It was Friday in Hoffman Estates, in my district, a street I’ve walked myself. It appears to show a child being violently detained by ICE. It’s real, and I’m demanding accountability.

He’s not. That’s not his job right now. We are in a fascist state. His main and ONLY job is to mitigate the irreparable harm the dumbass voters did. NYC mayoral race ain’t it.

Why? Who cares?
