It should enrage all of us, but it should also motivate us to beat the everliving hell out of every last Republican politician in ‘26 and again ‘28.
What the fuck?? Once again, my monthly BlueSky check in does not disappoint!

Woof. Bad take, Tim
Dare I ask why?

Donald Trump’s net worth has grown by $3 billion since January, but Republicans cared more about making him happy than they did about the people who sent them to Washington to make their lives better. (4/)
They don’t deserve this cruelty. No one does. Especially not in the richest country on Earth, where people with the most power just used it to make themselves even richer. (3/)
“Well, that’s what they voted for.“ “They should’ve known better.” Sure, maybe. But the brunt of the pain will be felt by babies, kids, the elderly, the sick, the disabled, the poor, people who are barely making it, people who fled danger to save their children. (2/)
So, shitty day! I’m pissed, but mostly I’m just sad for the millions of people who will suffer because of what Republicans did today. Many, if not most, are Trump voters. And most probably have no idea what this law will actually mean for them. (1/)
Also: how’s everyone here feeling today??
Here’s a link to the episode: crooked.com/podcast/the-...
This is even more hopeful than you might think - on today’s very timely @podsaveamerica.crooked.com, I talk to @chenoweth.bsky.social about their 3.5% rule - the finding that nonviolent protest movements haven’t failed when 3.5% of the country is engaged.
One of the best convos I’ve had this year
Based on crowd-sourced records of No Kings Day event turnout, and extrapolating for the cities where we don't have data yet, it looks like roughly 4-6 million people protested Trump across the U.S. yesterday. That's nearly 2% of the U.S. pop! Mobilized anti-Trump resistance is exceeding 2017 levels
A life lesson for us all
Twitter lets you only see replies from people you follow - that would be an amazing function here
Incredible site 10/10 no notes
This place has somehow gotten worse how do you find all the normal people who aren’t out of their minds??

Totally agree on messaging and incentives, but this is a book about the Democratic Party and much of it I know is true because of my own experiences and conversations. So I think it’s useful not for looking but for what comes next
I check in here a few times a week, and genuinely want to be on here more, but 90% of my mentions are usually complaints that I haven’t passed someone’s purity test. It’s wild.
Dems: Who’s our liberal Joe Rogan? Also Dems: How dare you platform journalists who’ve written a deeply reported book that makes some Biden supporters uncomfortable?
Leah is a genius who makes law highly accessible and entertaining AND is a Swiftie - all reasons to buy this book immediately
