It didn’t take long. Trump has done every last thing the @nytimes editorial board warned us about before the November 2024 election.
Do not look away. Do not be complacent.
Call your representatives and senators today. Let them know you expect them to stand up to Trump’s regime. Use @5calls or call the Capitol at +1 (202) 224-3121.
And check your voter registration at https://votefromabroad.org. Make sure you’re ready to vote in every election.

Do you see that people?
We can get 50 #AOC s across this country
The establishment is weak
Third party divides the left: what we do is we treat the #democrats like an empty vessel, take them over
The centrists don't mean shit!
Most most most importantly:
MOB THE FUCKING #PRIMARIES#PRIMARIES2026
SHOW THE FUCK UP AND OWN THIS PARTY AND THEN OWN THIS COUNTRY

Amen, and it's exactly what MAGA did to the Rs.

Just a reminder that the #West destroyed #Iran ’s #progressive #democracy in 1953, deposing a leader beloved of the people, & installed a #dictatorship in his place.
The #US & #UK have been terrorizing that country for as long as any of us have been alive.
It’s sick.

#Stalin gave people #healthcare. #Liberals have been promising to give us healthcare since #FDR & have failed to deliver on that promise for 9 decades.
And when you dare get mad at them about this & bring this up, there's always some excuse why it can't ever be done.
Why am I supposed to believe after nearly a century that #Democrats will EVER follow through on this promise?

#Israel is the spear-tip of #Western #imperialism in the region, & #Netanyahu is now openly calling for #assassination & #regimechange in Iran. They want to destroy the country to extend their hegemony.
These people are murderous monsters, all of them.

I cannot emphasize this enough, an #Israel / #Western #regimechange operation against #Iran would lead to hundreds of thousands of deaths.
We have seen this play out before, several times in the past decades.
Anyone who tries to justify this madness will have blood on their hands.

The puritanism of the cancel reflex;
"My online trans community had extremely mixed feelings about my public participation in the Democratic campaign. I received daily messages expressing their disappointment and distrust of me. On the eve of the election, there was a brief, unsuccessful movement to cancel me on Tumblr. I’m pretty sure there are still some trans women out there who still have me blocked because of my association with the campaign"

"I understood it, then.
I hadn’t seen a choice when I began campaigning for Kamala Harris. But there were thousands of progressive voters in this election who never got a ticket in the 2024 democratic process at all.
They had already lifted their voices for the people of Palestine. And then they were silenced."
