Science and logic rock! A tiny blue dot in a red state. Did not uproot myself half way across the planet for this, yet here we are. When things go sideways, I hope we end up in the same camp for emotional support purposes.
Governor Tony Evers@govevers.wisconsin.gov · 2d agoIf the past decade has taught us anything, it’s to remember that hard fought progress can be wiped out in a stroke of pen. Vote accordingly at every election.
Kamala Harris@kamalaharris.com · 3w agoSixty-one years ago, the Voting Rights Act became the law of the land after generations of Americans refused to accept that the right to vote should depend on who you are.
Vote at every election because our lives depend on it. “The vote is precious. It is almost sacred. It is the most powerful non-violent tool we have in a democracy.” — John Lewis #GOTV #goodtrouble

I have done this ever since I can vote, and I will continue doing this at EVERY election.
SpryOldLorax@spryoldlorax.bsky.social · 3mo agoI stand with women. I stand with Black People. I stand with LGBTQ+ People. I stand with Jewish People. I stand with everyone who isn't a straight white Christian male that's invested in patriarchy and white supremacy. So I will NEVER vote Republican. I will ALWAYS vote for Democrats.
Equality is essential in democracy, no ifs, no buts, no conditions.
Marc Elias@marcelias.bsky.social · 4mo agoI often say that the fight for democracy is the fight of our generation. But let me be clear, if you aren’t fighting for Black voting rights right now then you aren’t really fighting for democracy.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.” ~~ Teddy Roosevelt
Intellectual diversity does not mean we have to entertain bad faith arguments. Some things should not have both sides. The Supreme Court should just repost the decision of the U.S. v. Wong Ark Kim, and uphold the birthright citizenship that’s enshrined in the constitution.
Don Moynihan@donmoyn.bsky.social · 5mo agoThe fact that the assault on birthright citizenship has gotten this far, despite the plain text of the constitution, is astonishing. It also reveals some flawed assumptions about intellectual diversity, which sometimes involves resuscitating a dead and discredited idea b/c powerful people want to.
Birthright citizenship is enshrined in the constitution. No ifs, no buts, it’s settled and as clear as day, period.
Michael Li (李之樸)@mcpli.bsky.social · 5mo agoToday is the 128th anniversary of the Supreme Court’s decision on birthright citizenship in U.S. v. Wong Ark Kim.
Bravo, Illinois! Can’t wait to celebrate when history is made with two women of color as senators from one state. 💙

Important 🧵 Minority party cannot magically fix what the majority party breaks. We have to give the democratic elected officials tools, i.e. obtain majority at midterm, if we want to restore checks and balances, and hopefully get out of the current existential crisis caused by the republicans.
Eliza 7777777🌟@eliza7777777thstar.bsky.social · 7mo agoI’m turning this into a consecutive 🧵 to make it easier to show people who are being bamboozled by the current ICE funding being debated: The current funding is a pitiful drop in the $183 mil per month ICE *already* is guaranteed through 2029. Republicans are banking on you not knowing that. 🧵:
⬇️ Minority cannot magically fix what the majority breaks, and no, people should not ask minority to break laws just because majority is lawless, either.
Eliza 7777777🌟@eliza7777777thstar.bsky.social · 7mo agoThis is the message.⬇️ PLEASE teach ppl to teach ppl that yelling at Dems for not being able to magically change math & the “no guardrails” 2024 election results… when the blame is the REPUBLICAN MAJORITY… *incentivizes* Republicans to let ICE murder & Trump plunder. You’re making them happier.
This is the correct take. You cannot only yell at minority for not magically fixing what the majority breaks, and you cannot ask minority to break laws, either.

People need to understand the Herculean efforts required for minority democratic representatives to push through this bill, which will literally save lives. 💙 Both sides are not the same. Our job is to vote straight blue at every election for the foreseeable future.

@optimisticsoap.bsky.social · 10mo agoI went to my first ICE watch yesterday and was surprised by how kind and community-centered it felt. PIRC (@pirc_oregon) runs free ICE watch training in Portland. Once trained, you’ll get text alerts so you can show up when ICE is sighted. Sometimes just showing up is enough.
“All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.” There’s no ambiguity or missing context here. Birthright citizenship is in the Constitution. End of!
