Muslims didn’t storm the Capitol on January 6, try to steal an election, or overthrow our government. White Christian nationalists, racist militia groups, and rabid Trump supporters did. We need to stop pretending the biggest terrorist threat to this country is coming from somewhere else.

Neil Bush: “I see in [James Talarico] the qualities I admire most in public servants: integrity, civility, humility, and a willingness to listen to those with whom he disagrees... a principled, pragmatic leader who understands public office is a responsibility to serve, not an entitlement to power.”

I’m sorry my daughter moved away from home, but I’m glad she and her family live in Cincinnati.

Ohio’s Cincinnati Public Schools is the first district in the nation to own and operate a parking lot where families experiencing homelessness can go to at night and sleep in their cars, and has served more than 300 people since opening this past spring ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/10/14/c...

John Lewis bled on the Edmund Pettus Bridge to guarantee Black Americans could vote without shame or obstacles. We must be outraged when voting stays a struggle. Honor those who sacrificed for this right by making a voting plan & talking to your neighbors about it. #LetsGetVoteReady

I’m still registered in GA. Early voting starts next week.

Good people of the United States: Here is your reminder for the day- DEMOCRACY IS NOT A SPECTATOR SPORT! Check your voter registration! Make a plan to vote! Tell your friends and family to do the same! Donate your time, talent and treasure to a candidate who needs it. GET IN THE GAME!💙

Voting isn't asking for power; it is the power. If you are in AZ, AR, FL, GA, IN, KY, LA, MS, OH, TN, or TX, the deadline to register is Monday, Oct. 5. Verify your status today and make sure your community is prepared. Let's do this together. 💪 #LetsGetVoteReady #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Just in case it wasn’t clear, when they say the U.S. Government’s paying for this, that’s YOUR taxpayer dollars they’re using. I’ll say this as many times as I need to: it is ILLEGAL to use American taxpayer dollars from the government to pay for candidates’ or parties’ political ads.

I don’t understand, and I struggle to articulate my frustration with, the “president” and ENTIRE administration each swore an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution, yet nearly every policy they enact is actually unconstitutional, and no one is holding them accountable. Why not?

If any of you ever want to have an actual life? You’re going to have to come together to elect progressives and tax the billionaires.

The penny is beginning to drop with American voters that Trump is not merely a bombastic narcissist nor just a ruthless exploiter of office for personal and family enrichment. Most Americans by now suspect that his Golden Age of tariffs has achieved nothing for them individually... MORE: ⤵️

No matter what he calls the ballroom, it must come down. No matter what he calls the golden arch, it must come down. He does not have the legal authority to build either one. Both, if built, must come down.

Now that SCOTUS has REJECTED his SCHEME to fvck with absentee ballots TRUMP is going to get more and more DESPERATE because he knows a blue wave is coming Judge Luttig is right, we need to buckle up because J6 COUP ATTEMPT 2.0 is coming But first, we need to VOTE in numbers too big to ignore!

Call your senators.

🚨 Section 219 is on the brink of passing the Senate. It would permanently merge US & Israeli weapons programs, with no way for a future Congress to undo it. Only 6 Senators are fighting it with 30 days left. Demand yours block it now! actionnetwork.org/letters/stop...

Lines look boring until they scare rooms that prefer empty chairs. Fifty days. Bring a book. Bring patience. Bring the plot twist. #BlueWaveIn50Days

As a boomer I absolutely support this message. The future of this country requires change, not status quo. Step 1 is 💙💙 winning elections. The olds need to train up the next representatives and then step aside to let them lead.

I’ve been a member of five labor unions in my life. I’ve seen firsthand what working people can accomplish when we stand together. The rights and protections workers have today weren’t handed to us. Generations of workers and organizers fought for them, stood their ground, & refused to back down.

I retired at the end of June, and yesterday visited my school library for the first time. My replacement hired a library fung shui consultant, and rearranged everything. I love it! she has good energy (like I did 25 years ago). I made the right decision.

I visited only because I was chaperoning a 1st-2nd grade field trip with my friend to the botanical garden in 90° heat - I questioned my life choices within an hour, and I have not yet recovered.

Trump’s assault on voting is becoming impossible to ignore. A whistleblower alleges USPS may undermine timely mail ballots and defy court orders. The answer? Vote en masse. Hungary showed how overwhelming turnout can defend democracy. #Resistance

Those local races are critically important to how your community functions. Also, check your registration since GOP officials are systematically kicking off registered voters.

Brian Cardone@cardonebrian.bsky.social

Here’s your daily reminder that when you go to cast your ballot in November please vote all the way down the ballot. The further down you go, those races really do get closer to your front door and ultimately your wallet. Let’s turn these laboratories of autocracy back into democracy.

NO media 1000s are marching in DC to defend voting rights; 90 orgs signed on, Reuters sent photographers, but local media Bernie Sanders, AOC and Martin Luther King III attended Wa Post buried it A Black-led march is visible in DC only after somebody else reports it Repost the march they buried

Texas just suspended 1.2 million voter registrations because Talarico is beating Paxton in the polls. And OF COURSE they won’t tell us how many of those voters come from Democratic districts. Texas isn’t a democracy. It’s a racist fascist state.

Excellent point. j6 happened - we saw the video - and the felon in chief pardoned all the traitors.

Why do you take the bait??? Talking about Lake Ontario instead of Epstein, $2B Trump windfall as Pres, corruption at every level, senseless wars… the list goes on and and on and on. Instead of pounding them with simple slogans and messages, you and all the dems keep taking the bait.
