I’ve created my first List! Everyone on this list receives this account’s full endorsement—and I’m very selective.

This is a list of Progressives not just here in America, but from all over the world.

ABOLISH ICE and EXPAND THE SUPREME COURT should be mainstream Democratic promises and talking points.

But timidity and civility will rule the day and screw the rest of us and this country in the end.

Systemic racism was/is the warm-up act for authoritarianism across the board. In case anyone is still unclear on that point

AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.

The GOP that gave us the Jan 6 terrorist attack and then pardoned the terrorists is calling the No Kings rally a pro-terrorist rally. These are despicable people.

It's been 22 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress.

Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in. At what point will political reporters start calling this a constitutional crisis?

The White House has posted so much white nationalist garbage that people aren’t even reacting to it anymore.
This is hell, isn’t it?

Just a reminder that the Speaker of the House is REFUSING to swear in an ELECTED OFFICIAL because she’ll be the last vote they need to force the release of the Epstein Files.

House Speaker Mike Johnson insisted Tuesday that he would not swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva until Democrats relent and end the government shutdown.

Grijalva, speaking alongside Democrats, including Sen. Mark Kelly, on Wednesday, said the delay “is not procedural. It’s intentional.” 🧵

I’m pleased to announce that I will be joining @berge-eauclaire.bsky.social ‘s campaign and helping with some of their socials.
Since the end of the Benjamin campaign, I have been looking for a candidate who embodies the progressive values Laura fought for. I believe Berge is that candidate.

Marjorie Taylor Greene says she puts the blame for the shutdown squarely on GOP leaders Mike Johnson and John Thune. That’s all you need to know about that.

Democrats shouldn’t have to apologize for choosing essential healthcare over funding the government.
If Republicans really cared, they’d drop their demands and pass a budget.
But they don’t.

🏳️‍🌈Progressive Girl🏳️‍⚧️ @progressivegirl.bsky.social · 1d

The No Kings protests are going to be so big they’re ALREADY claiming everyone there is paid, more than a week out from the actual protest.
They’re scared. It’s working.

A bunch of young Republicans just had their group chat leaked—to nobodies surprise, it was full of racist, misogynistic garbage.
That’s who these people are.

OpenAI’s strategy is very clear, it’s trying to get people - especially young people - so reliant on its products intellectually & emotionally (& now sexually!) that going without them becomes unthinkable. And they need signs of that strategy working to keep the funding flowing in

The ‘Peace President’ killed six more people off the coast of Venezuela this morning. We have no evidence other than his word that they were a threat to anyone, anywhere and also release the Epstein files. Thank you for your attention in this matter!

Things to do in the future:

1. Putting them all on trial for crimes against humanity at the Hague

2. Totally reforming entire government to root out corruption and abuse of power so this bullshit never happens again

3. At some point you’d imagine, brunch

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.

It's time for Speaker Johnson to quit stalling and swear in Democrat Adelita Grijalva to secure the final vote on releasing the Epstein files.
