“They ask me…“how do you talk to rural voters?’
I live in a town of a thousand people. I AM a fucking rural voter. I know how to talk to them?!” @grahamformaine.bsky.social in conversation with Tory Gavito, president at @waytowinus.bsky.social .bsky.social

@netrootsnation.bsky.social 2025! It was so powerful to be in community with long time collaborators like and more, and make new friends in NOLA! Can't wait to see everyone again in Philly next year. @anatosaurus.bsky.social @murshedz.bsky.social @waytowinus.bsky.social @movementvoter.bsky.social

Walked down to the corner to gather with neighbors. Many honks and waves!

Just had to type the phrase "winning with those voters who make less than $55k a year and ultimately winning every battleground state" -- and it just doesn't get easier to really sit with the devastating reality of the loss and it's implications.

Absolutely fucking not.

I’m at my gate at LAX after a quick trip. I swear this city steals a little piece of my heart every time. Today she was just showing off. #DTLA

"Its about the doing more than it is about the saying" - @anatosaurus.bsky.social live with @anandwrites.bsky.social right now on substack substack.com/@anandwrites...

Both of these movements are gloriously grassroots. It just is what it is: Real people with sharpie markers, who aren’t done with giving a damn. From a messaging perspective, it’s far from perfect. But authenticity is what makes it so powerful, and that creates energy. *Energy is what we need now.

Thankfully, grassroots progressives are swinging into action. Pop-up protests against DOGE spread nationwide on Monday with hundreds of spontaneous rallies on the theme of “No Kings on President’s Day,” part of a memetic movement known as as 50501, coming on the heels of the Day without Immigrants..

I went to my son's school play tonight and sat next to one of the grandmas who leaned in close, with a pleading look: "Doyle, what are Democrats doing? I went to the DNC website and there was...nothing. So I wrote them with my ideas, telling them they have to fight! But why would they listen to me?"

Got the band back together for @rootscamp.bsky.social to talk Vote for Respect with @dataforprogress.org @breaksomething.bsky.social and friends! Full recording and recap of our panel on reaching working class, lower propensity voters is coming soon on Substack

Wheels up to @rootscamp.bsky.social and looking forward to connecting with my fellow progressives to find a way forward. It is not an easy time. But this is the sun rising over Rainer, and above the fog it is clear - here’s hoping we may we find this clarity and embrace the light of a new day.

Roll call for @rootscamp.bsky.social: Very excited about hosting this panel on Friday afternoon re: Winning Working Class voters with United for Respect! We're going to be talking messaging, organizing, actual results - and where we go from here. The only way forward is together! #RootsCamp2025
