We absolutely must win the midterms. Even better, let's get some Dem leadership NOW that will do something about this.
Riddle me this, how in the fuck is this making our communities any safer? This ICE agent sprays this disabled woman directly in the face in St Paul, Minnesota with pepper spray and then throws her to the ground. I hope she sues the hell out of ICE for this‼️#Abolish 🧊🧊🧊

He underestimates Califrornia's pushback. We know the value of our coast. Trump's attitude of "if it isn't mine, let's burn in down" means the destruction of this planet for the twisted pleasure of one deranged man and his mentally unstable followers. The answer is NO.
The Trump admin has unveiled plans to open California’s coastline to offshore oil drilling for the first time in decades, a move that has sparked swift and fierce backlash from state leaders. The proposal, which outlines up to six federal lease sales between 2027 and 2030, would mark the first

See, we knew they were bad actors and had a dirty trick up their sleeves. They're offering for us to die this way or die that way. It's time for Gov. Newsom to lead the soft secession so women don't die in exchange for everyone else not dying. open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

They missed a golden opportunity to both rebuild the party and fight for our democratic republic. They spit and shit on the momentum from Tuesday. I hope voters remember come primaries.

NOW, it's time for that general strike. There is no one on our side in Washington. The GOP wants to make us starve. The Dems want us to be homeless when we can't afford rent or mortgage after we pay for healthcare. We really must strike.

This is humiliating for every person who showed up for NO KINGS, everyone who voted last Tuesday, everyone who stands up to ICE, every judge who has held the legal line, every small town person who stands up week after week in their red rural area with their signs saying “Vote Blue”. YOU LET US DOWN

DEMS HOLD THE LINE

Call your senators. (202) 224-3121
Following up on this. This remains a ‘cave is minutes or hours away’ situation. If you want to impact how this plays out you need to contact senators literally now. I want to add additional points of context. What I’m relaying is what I’ve picked up from highly reliable sources.
Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.
