I'm going to tell my grandkids that I saw Michael Jordan play at the United Center, I saw Pearl Jam open for Neil Young, and I saw Joe Biden save a nation with a 50-50 Senate.

3x seeing it done better than it's ever been done before. Thank you, Joe.

You didn't donate shit.

I max donated to Kamala Harris in 3 election cycles, and I'm going to do it again in 28.

If Bernie had ever won a primary, he could have had a campaign jet, too. But the voters hate him. 🤷

Can she borrow one of Bernie's private jets?

Trump posting a video of him as a king shitting on his opponents and the media not caring sums up our current situation pretty perfectly.

To all the dreamers begging for a general strike:

IT WON'T WORK IN AMERICA!!!

It won't work because fully HALF the country LOVES what trump is doing. Half the country got the white supremacy they voted for.

Yes, No Kings had a great turnout, but just as many come out for trump's hate rallies.

This is what the Second Amendment is for.

Liberals need to understand it's for us, too.

Thoughtfully consider getting trained and arming yourselves.

Trump: "Don't forget I can use the Insurrection Act. 50% of the presidents almost have used that. And that's unquestioned power."

The filibuster is a good thing.

It's the only thing that saved the Affordable Care Act during the 29 times Republicans tried to kill it.

The filibuster is the only thing keeping the Affordable Care Act, and coverage for 30 million people, alive.

Eliminating it would be doing a huge favor to trump and his GOP.

If you aren't willing to look the other way on this stuff in exchange for filibuster abolition, I don't think you're serious about power, and I also don't think you are being morally clear-headed.

I'll take this over someone who won't abolish the filibuster

The same people who can't forgive Hillary Clinton for saying "super predators" one time in a single speech in defense of a bill Bernie voted for sure are easy to absolve Planter's rape apologia.

Elliott w/ 2 Ts @elot247.bsky.social · 1d

So you are also going to forgive Hillary Clinton for saying "super predators" in one speech in 1993?

Elliott w/ 2 Ts @elot247.bsky.social · 1d

I'm of multiple opinions about the protests:

1) yes, it's great that so many people are standing up.

2) This wouldn't be necessary if these SAME PEOPLE had done the work in November 2024.

3) What's the next step? What are the expected outcomes of this? Other protests movements had specific goals

So why aren't you over posting on the WHITE senate Democrats who passed that bill?

Why are you over here on Leader Jeffries' timeline when he, and his caucus, voted against it?

Serious question: How do we do that? In a society completely defined by race, I can't ignore my whiteness anymore than you can ignore your Blackness.

I can define myself by my immigrant mother's German heritage, but when a cop pulls me over, he just sees a white man and instantly offers privilege.
