As @brandyjensen.bsky.social once wrote, "Too often these days I find myself in the position of defending someone I think is annoying from someone I know is dangerous." I can work with annoying. I don't have to like them. I can't work with fascists. Democrats should have a laser focus on fascists.

"Candidates should be talking much more about not just the rule of law on principle, but the prosecution of people in practice."

Fun fact (not) : after the 2018 Toronto attack, where a lookist (incel) militant killed 11 and injured 15, Ross Douthat penned an opinion piece where he leaned into incel propaganda and advocated for a 'fairer' distribution of women's bodies among men.

I also don't understand why seemingly no elected Dems have commented on Suozzi living at C Street / working with The Family.

Next Tuesday night let’s make MAGA lite Rep. Tom Suozzi sweat.

No words needed. Except...VOTE. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Laura Gillen just voted to give more money to ice. Funding for ICE instead of Childcare, Healthcare, Education, programs that prevent crime, building a pathway to citizenship, not infrastructure projects to remove lead pipes from schools and homes. ABOLISH ICE!!!

Seems likely given his early statements, though the many community groups who have been organizing on this and other issues get most of the credit here. Still, wouldn't it be fun to have a representative who does the right thing just because they actually have principles? www.votewelch.com

Hell yeah let's fucking GOOOOOOOO. Fuck Tom Suozzi.

This is your reminder that today is a great day to donate to @votewelch.bsky.social and help her primary Tom Suozzi! secure.actblue.com/donate/danie...

He was! One of the top results when you search for him right now is a politico article with the headline "Suozzi: ‘I failed’ when voting to pass DHS funding bill." He was also one of the 1st dems to throw trans folks under the bus, voted to censure Al Green, and opposed impeachment last summer.

Choose your fighter. @tomsuozzi.bsky.social says he agrees with Trump, and signals that he simply wants to bomb Iran with a bit more decorum and ideally not for too long. I believe it is foolish to start another forever war with preemptive strikes. We already made that mistake once.

I would encourage people to vote for a scorpion that lives in a toilet rather than Suozzi. Luckily you don't have to, there's a real candidate and she's cool!

Wasn't Suozzi one of the ones who voted for the DHS bill in the House too?

You can help get rid of at least one of those! I am primarying Tom Suozzi. www.votewelch.com

NEW — An obscure Navy contractor program is making Trump’s plans to quickly build out and supply immigrant concentration camps around the country a reality. Here I explain WEXMAC TITUS, an acronym you need to understand:

Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:

I am frankly more concerned about the apathy of the American public and even more importantly the lack of leadership in the Democratic Party. This is not a dress rehearsal. Every single American must speak out against this Facist administration.

A challenger rises to primary Tom Suozzi, the 8th most Trump friendly Dem in the House!

Suozzi teamed up with Republicans last month to vote for more ICE funding. Shame.

For those unfamiliar with the district, voters have been clamoring for someone to primary Rep. Suozzi after he was one of just seven Democrats to vote with Republicans to increase DHS funding in January. Now Danielle Welch will try to beat him in the June 23rd primary.

Very excited for @daniwelch.bsky.social, a union sibling who’ll be a progressive champion in Congress. She’s challenging @tomsuozzi.bsky.social, one of the worst elected Democrats, whose constituents are so unhappy with him he was recently forced to send out an apology email for voting to fund ICE.

@housedemocrats.bsky.social We The People are SUPER DISAPPOINTED IN OUR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES.

Gosh, if only there were a constitutional mechanism for removing a president who is mentally ill and unfit to hold office.

Danish Parliament Deputy Speaker Lars-Christian Brask: "If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"

I want the world to know how ashamed I am. This is not what Americans want. I recognize Greenland's sovereignty and their right to remain independent. If Greenland was ever threatened, the real America would show up to support them and leave when it's over. That's what real allies do. I'm sorry.

What solidarity looks like. This is the most American thing that I will ever be proud of. Downtown Minneapolis 1/7/2026

If you are a foreign president who commits crimes overseas, America will come get you, arrest you, and lock you up. But if you are a US president who commits crimes here in the United States, America will give you immunity from prosecution, reelect you, and bribe you with billions of dollars.

Swalwell: He couldn't run a casino, and now he's going to run a country in South America while he fails to run a country in North America?

How could this book be more than a single page reading “no”

it’s really fucking cool to see people working outside the system to expose the hacks running all of our crumbling institutions
