I read the “Save America Act,” so you don’t have to. Most of the media apparently *hasn’t* read it because, if they had, they would be sounding the alarm about the provision in Point 1, below, which almost none of them have even mentioned. I hope this summary helps raise awareness. 1/

🧵 Wanna know why we’ve never had a female president? Why women are said to be too emotional to hold office? Why Kamala was mocked, belittled, and patronized while she was running for the presidency? It’s because women PROTECT children. Women stand up for what is right. @bittersouth.bsky.social

The refusal by @blakegendebien.bsky.social to engage in pre-primary debates with @dylanhewitt.bsky.social is inexcusable. NY-21 is a crucial battleground for the control of Congress this fall and the people of the North Country deserve a robust primary, not a coronation.

Everyone should read this deep-dive into the failing business model of Avelo Airlines, the discount air carrier that tears families apart: “Avelo’s ICE flights appear to be a fiasco, defined by the poor planning, cruel treatment, and serious safety lapses endemic to ‘ICE Air’”

I'm hearing the same thing. Dems are nearing a surrender. I'm shocked. Largest protest in history + best election night in years + polling showing we're kicking their ass in public opinion. And now Dems may cave. It ain't over til it's over, so please do call if you've got a Dem senator.

Political office holders should be determined by election, not succession. In order to rebuild after the King is gone, we’re going to need a Democratic Party that is thoroughly intolerant of every form of corruption and self-dealing, including this political inheritance bullshit.

Some true shenanigans: Rep. Chuy Garcia reportedly ending reelection campaign just before candidate filing closes in Illinois and leaving his chief of staff, Patty Garcia, as the only Democrat on the ballot in this safely blue House seat.

“Too many union leaders rely on staying in the good graces of Democratic Party leadership to maintain power because it’s easier than building enough muscle and engagement among rank-and-file members to enforce power in the old-fashioned way: through collective action.”

Avelo Airlines turns a profit by tearing families apart. It flies deportation flights for ICE and traffics people who have been denied of the rights due to them by the US Constitution. Simply put, Avelo abets ICE’s violent terror campaign against American communities.

President Trump on Wednesday signed a memorandum expanding his administration’s authority to repurpose unspent federal funds to pay members of the military during the government shutdown, escalating his challenge to the authority of Congress on spending matters.

We had the displeasure of meeting Peter Giunta in August, at the NYSYR celebration of Elusive Elise Stefanik in Albany. This reprehensible portrayal rings true, as he spent most of his time skulking through our demonstration while haranguing our friends. But make no mistake, this who the GOP is.

ICE targeted an apartment building near my home. Masked agents in unmarked cars. I've said this before. Democratic Governors & Mayors need to order their local police depts to arrest any & all unidentified & masked alleged ICE agents. This anonymous denial of due process is deadly. 1/2

We are gratified that Albany International eventually did the right thing and turned this propaganda off. We know that a deluge of telephone calls and emails to local electeds from our members and others played a crucial role in making this happen. But we remain confused about a few things…

We’re often asked whether it’s “safe” to march in the streets in protest of what is happening in our Country. Well, this is the alternative.

“ABC7 spoke to Pertissue Fisher, a woman who lives in the building. She said ICE agents took everyone in the building, including her, and asked questions later….’They was bringing the kids down, too, had them zip tied to each other.’” It can’t happen here, you say. But it is happening.

Boycott Citizens@boycottcitizens.org

🚨 It's time to talk about about DHS's surveillance apparatus. For a few months, I've tracked ICE contracts for a map of companies supporting the mass deportation agenda. Huge sums for detention, weapons, and—especially alarming—an array of tech for spying on immigrants and citizens alike. 1/

At a time where we can hardly count on elected Dems to even try and use their voices to drive attendance at rallies and events, we appreciate Sen. Murphy’s alternative approach. This is the solidarity that the moment demands!

Chris Murphy@chrismurphyct.bsky.social

Every major Democrat has millions in their campaign account. The threat to democracy is big enough that we need to be funding mobilization and messaging right now - not just banking money for the next election. If we don't build right now, there might not be another election.

In what rational world does the “leader” of the NYS Democratic Party get to decide that he knows better than the overwhelming majority of Dem voters? If he’s “uncomfortable” with the choice of his constituents, he (and his ilk) should get out of the way to let the People rebuild the NY Dems.
