C’mon over, I’m at bsky.app/profile/debbra…

Hate to burst your bubble, but…

Dems have the Senate majority for the next 60-plus days. Use it! Not just to confirm judges. Hold your own pre-confirmation hearings. Foreign Relations on Tulsi Gabbards ties to Russia. Intel Committee onJohn Ratliffe's misconduct on intelligence in Trump's first term. 1/

This wasn’t about the price of eggs.

@jessemermell Was there a dial tone or any leftover change?

Apparently I’ve travelled back in time.

@ChrisMurphyCT Overall this these are important points to consider as ways to better. But… guns and climate disasters are killing people.

9/ Real economic populism should be our tentpole. But here's the thing - then you need to let people into the tent who aren't 100% on board with us on every social and cultural issue, or issues like guns or climate.

That was a cataclysm. Electoral map wipeout. Senate D practical ceiling is now 52 seats. R's is 62. Time to rebuild the left. We are out of touch with the crisis of meaning/purpose fueling MAGA. We refuse to pick big fights. Our tent is too small. 1/ Some early thoughts:

@BedrockWM @Angry_Staffer And pegging it on Biden

@Angry_Staffer Can’t wait for them to be crying around Christmas time when prices are raised preemptively.

We’re not a serious country

@SydneCatherine @Angry_Staffer Just the prospect of tariffs will send prices soaring

@wolfkitten @OhNoSheTwitnt Same, and I know I haven’t done nearly enough

@OhNoSheTwitnt I'm as white as it gets, New England stock that's been on this continent for centuries. And I'm absolutely ready to join you.

So when Trump fires all non-partisan career professionals in government, replaces them with radical loyalists within every nook and cranny of the US government, and adds radical judges everywhere. And every one of you that voted for him finally wake up from your fucked up fantasy just like the folks that woke up after 4 years of the last shit show, only to realize it’s much much worse, and much more permanent, this time. When the cancer you caused has infected every bit of the American system and it can’t be unwound for a lifetime. What then? Do you beg this country for forgiveness for choosing fascism because you were conned into believing your eggs are too expensive because of Joe Biden? You just put Steve Bannon in charge of American policy. You just put Michael Flynn in charge of our military. You just put Alex Jones in charge of media and propaganda. You just put Stephen Miller in charge of immigration policy. You just put batshit crazy RFK Jr. in charge of health policy. You just killed free public education and privatized schools, which you will have to pay for. You just sealed the deal on a national abortion ban, because you’re demented if you think it’s not coming. You just radicalized the Supreme Court for a generation. You just made women less safe and less free. You just made this country an oligarchy with the billionaires quite literally in charge now. You just put in office the one person that believes a president is a king, with the fucking Supreme Court ruling to prove it in his back pocket! You just ushered in Fascism. Because your cereal costs more. Congratulations.

Something doesn't add up. In 2020 Biden had 81 Million votes, Trump had 74 Million votes. In 2024 Harris got 66 Million votes, Trump got 71 million votes. 15 Million Democrats decided to sit this one out? 3 Million MAGA decided to sit this one out? No fucking way.

A reminder that tens of millions of Americans believed the country was heading in the wrong direction because they believed the economy was doing badly and that crime was going up. None of that is true.

@TifaAuntie Just laughed out loud for the first time in a loooong time. Thank you!!!🤣

@jessemermell There must be something going around

I just asked a friend how they were feeling about the election and they said "nauseously optimistic." I have stolen it with permission, and will be using it excessively from here on out. Please share far and wide.

@0xChamchi @Rainmaker1973 Exactly! This Euro-centric view is distorted and denies the existence of the humans who were nearly exterminated to make this possible. #AmericanIndianHeritageMonth

@Rainmaker1973 now show the population of natives
