AZ AG Mayes: If I have to, I’ll take Speaker Johnson to court. There's no legitimate reason for him to refuse to swear her in right now. And it's not fair for Mike Johnson to be holding the state of Arizona hostage because he doesn't want to release the Epstein files.

California, I'm sorry we don't buy your wine anymore, it's our stupid maple maga premier he's an asshat. I hope you vote Prop 50 and take over congress and kick republicans into the ocean with the force of your beautiful actors and wine grapes and ocean creatures.

Barack Obama @barackobama.bsky.social · 1d

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes sent a demand letter to House Speaker Mike Johnson Tuesday, calling for the immediate swearing in of Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva following her special election win last month.

Arizona AG Threatens Legal Action If Adelita Grijalva Isn’t Sworn In Immediately

“You and your staff have provided ever-shifting, unsatisfactory, and sometimes absurd stories as to why Ms. Grijalva has not been sworn in,” Kris Mayes wrote to House Speaker Mike Johnson.

People need to continue dressing up in costumes. Kinda hard to justify to young kids seeing a panda or a unicorn being beat up that the panda or unicorn deserves it:

and when white women go missing, Indigenous and Black women are more helpful than the police because we know how these systems work and how horrible it is to experience such things

Happy Indigenous People Day!

Did you know that Indigenous women go missing and are murdered ten times more than average? They don’t even get a quarter of the attention that a white woman going missing would get. Please keep these women in your mind. Don’t forget them

Yes. Unironically yes. You defeat fascism by VOTING AGAINST IT.

That's the ONLY proven way to do it, and your irrational resistance to that simple principle is a VERY weird side effect of your terminally-online lefter-than-thouism that I sincerely hope you outgrow someday.

Hoon McMunch @biasbe.bsky.social · 1d

Ok, so no other course of action was possible, and you’re sticking to your position: the only way to prevent fascism is for the democrats to win every single election forever. Just gonna mute you now. Later pal.

The No Kings protests aren't as important as showing up for your local elections. Volunteer sign-ups are down for Dems for election day in Virginia. If all of the people who show up for the No Kings protests show up for just a few hours on election day, we'd be golden.
