I’m curious to know why there has been no coverage of the July 17 protests, not even here on BlueSky. Zero in the national news, and only one local paper near le. Was it that much of a bust or is it being suppressed?

It’s important for these Democratic senators to hear from their constituents right now. Email your senators and tell them to protect our elections by rejecting the GOP’s voter suppression bill.
I think the Republicans shot themselves in the foot. The poorly educated, low information voters they depend on are the ones LEAST likely to even know about the new requirements til it’s too late, and the LEAST
likely to be able to navigate the maze now necessary to register.
Looks like kind of a small crowd but I came late. People were streaming out and new people constantly streaming in. Also all over the streets downtown, lined up on sidewalks, cars honking in solidarity.
Sen. Strom Thurmond voted against the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act, AND supported Jim Crow laws.
Thurmond’s record for longest floor speech (in protest of the Civil Rights Act, no less!) was just broken by a Black man, my good friend Cory Booker.
That’s America.
The most maddening thing about Chuck Schumer right now isn’t even that he made the wrong call. It’s his continued smugness and indifference to the feelings of his base.
We’re in a battle against neo-Nazis for the future of our nation. We need a Churchill not a Chamberlain leading our party. I implore you to replace Chuck Schumer with someone that has the courage to fight. Do it NOW. The regime is consolidating more power every day. Time is running out!
We Democrats need to raise our voices loud and clear: Chuck Schumer needs to go. Call your senator and demand that they replace him now. We’re running out of time. We need a Churchill, not a Chamberlain if we’re going to defeat the Nazis (again).
Seriously fuck your vision, pundits treating activists like schmatte...

Schumer is not going anywhere based on what you rube. No, we need to have this fight & purge the most conservative AIPAC 3rd way Dems over time.
Indivisible called for him to step down. Stop manufacturing consent for abuse!
Every Democrat in the Senate should be calling for Senator Schumer to step down.
If you have a Democratic Senator, you can call them and tell them to demand Schumer steps down and replaced by a leader that doesn’t work for corporations.

OKAY SO WHAT BEHAVIORS ARE YOU DOING THAT WILL ADDRESS THIS?
REMINDER THAT MERELY INFORMING US OF THINGS IS WHAT NEWS SOURCES SHOULD BE DOING. YOU'RE A SENATOR - WHAT EFFECTIVE, NON-SYMBOLIC ACTIONS WILL YOU BE TAKING?

Stand strong against the MAGA budget bill. Let us see that you’ve listened to us begging you to show real leadership. For God’s sake, keep your caucus in line!
French Senator Claude Malhuret:
"Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."
(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.
I want to quit FB but can’t find another way to keep in touch with family and friends. Does BlueSky have a category for that? They should. I’d get my peeps to cross over if they did.
