This is what I know about Republicans: they don’t want us to have healthcare or food. They don’t want us educated. They think people are only worth as much as they can produce in GDP. They don’t like gay people or trans people.They treat women with disdain.

I would never vote for a Republican.

this is something that individual members of Congress could do tomorrow. The government is shut down so they could use their district offices. I suggested in January that they turn those offices into full on community centers where people could find each other re: mutual aid etc...

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.

Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

Apparently some folks are playing real dumb about skull symbols so let’s play a little game I like to call “Nazi skull or not a Nazi skull”

First up, the Jolly Roger. This is a pirate skull, not a Nazi skull. It means you might get robbed, but prolly not genocided.

Gov. Phil Scott's Burlington action plan is "a combo platter of disappointing, punitive, and cheap." Did we really expect anything more?

If federal Democrats simply said that they won’t be cowed little sycophants and let Trump do whatever he wants because that’s the actual fucking job that they’ve been hired for—and Republicans won’t do theirs because they’re weak and useless, so many people would be energized behind them

Kaitlin Is Just Getting Started @gothamgirlblue.com · 6d

The correct response to this is not to attack Trump or his cronies (they know what they’re doing), but GOP Reps and Senators for being sniveling little cowards and pieces of shit who won’t do their goddamn jobs and love licking Trump’s feet and getting publicly degraded while looting the Treasury

NEW: A Jan. 6 rioter who breached the Senate floor — and was subsequently pardoned by Trump — was arrested Sunday for threatening to assassinate Leader Hakeem Jeffries.

The best time to abolish ICE would have been in 2021. The next best time is if we win in 2028. At this point, any Democrat unwilling to abolish ICE must be drummed out of the primary.

Senator Chris Larson @senchrislarson.bsky.social · 9d

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.

The President is building an army to attack his own country.

Covid not "a cold" - it attacks every system of the body, making it weaker to every other kind of infection. There's another illness that does similar.

Whatever you think of the White House as a building or a symbol, the fact is that the image of it being torn apart on a whim two days after 7 million people hit the streets against autocracy is going to make a HUGE amount of people really, really angry, and that's an energy that should be harnessed.
