Great grandmother of 2-so far. Love my country. Hate Trump and Musk. Lost my hubby to Agent Orange in 2010. He was NOT a sucker or a loser. Mom to 3. Grandma to 7. DMs=BLOCK.
More than half of Americans have cut out eating out just to afford other necessities. That’s not belt tightening, that’s a country getting squeezed dry while corrupt Republicans pretend the economy’s fine. We don’t fix that by staying quiet. #BlueWaveIn90Days #USDemocracy
“This is not working” isn’t a complaint anymore, it’s a rallying cry, and Troy Jackson is turning it into a movement. Universal healthcare, affordable childcare, reproductive freedom, working people demanding all of it at once. Ninety days to help make it real. #BlueWaveIn90Days
Congratulations to @fjohnd4.bsky.social for advancing to the general election in #WA04! Standing against genocide is good policy and good politics!
Why is there not a NoKings5 scheduled? Because a POS Ezra Levin of Indivisible came in on the 50501 NoKings1 protest, Ezra Levin took it over, and Ezra Levin of Indivisible scuttled all the National mass mobilizations. So, who does Ezra work for??? Obviously Trump.
NEW from me: I think this is the perfect time to use Rachel Maddow’s oft-repeated phrase - ‘watch what they do- not what they say.’ Ignore Ellison's PR pitch, but look at what's happening at CBS News including directing reporters to add “facts” that did not exist. open.substack.com/pub/jennifer...
David Ellison can’t be trusted with CNN
We've already seen how Ellison has wrecked CBS. Don't fall for his PR push on CNN.

Four Black men murdered by federal agents in Tennessee
Holly McCall@jhollymc.bsky.social · 2d agoI've been irate at how little national coverage the killings of four Black men in Memphis by federal agents have gotten -- and even how little in Tennessee. The root? State lawmakers who wholeheartedly approve of the occupation of Memphis.

Thank you, MICHIGAN! I'm so proud to be your Democratic nominee for Governor of Michigan. I'm ready to fight for your future — costs down, wages up, rights protected, and a government that works for all of us.
If we don’t focus on what everyday Americans are struggling with/issues & coalesce around the selected candidates, we LOSE in November. Stop the infighting, the far left vs centrist nasty rhetoric-NOW! No-one gets everything they want. Find common ground, focus on tangible achievable solutions VOTE
Way To Go! This made my day! Congrats to Scott Pelley and Sharyn Alfonsi And... Congrats Columbia University Students

@jamestalarico.bsky.social for Texas US Senate gets it - under his opponent Ken Paxton and Gov. Abbott, data centers are running amok in TX. Talarico has a sensible plan to regulate data centers. Texas, he is the right choice for your next senator, not the corrupt, 15 home owning Paxton.

Abdul El-Sayed was outspent 9-to-1 by AIPAC and corporate Super PACs in the most expensive Senate Democratic primary of all time. Last night, he proved that organized people can beat organized money.
I’ve long been concerned that when a country like Russia runs out of conventional military hardware and munitions, they will turn to nukes out of desperation. That concern now applies to us as well. Add in a mad man behind the wheel …

WATCH — Sen. @chrismurphyct.bsky.social on Trump’s insider trading: “If you pay Trump $100,000 a month, he will give you early access to White House announcements on economic and trade policy. None of this is normal, and a lot of this is illegal.”

El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"
A gracious concession: “I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander. I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election…
