Kristi Noem being shuffled into some other inane position doesn't exactly feel like accountability
They need to hear this regularly and loudly. I don't want to hear that they'll never be held accountable. That's up to us, because nobody else will hold these fascists to account but us. It may not be tomorrow or next week or next year, but they'll have it coming.
That's my rep!
I think a lot about how shame is not a useful emotion, because it doesn't change people for the better. It's the idea of "I'm a loathesome person" and the good people will take it and apologize for existing and the shitty ones lash out because they hate themselves. Case in point, the US regime rn

If only holding their feet to the fire actually changed these people
That's the dream, isn't it? All of this has to start somewhere...but without choosing a lesser evil. We can do better than that. It sounds like we have the voters in Texas but people have been disenfranchised and gerrymandered all to hell. Appreciate you being in it for the long haul.
It's going to take a colossal amount of (doable) work to detangle our political systems from corporate money and donors. Jeffries pays a lot of empty lip service without follow through. When people are so embroiled in dollars that they no longer consider the working people, it's a problem.
I never know whenever it's bots or propaganda, but I agree with you. It's like perfect has to be the enemy of good. If I take the comments in good faith, let's get someone into office who will be receptive, who we CAN pressure. Progress is an arc, not a direct line...
I'm gonna start blocking accounts that suddenly follow me, have no description in their profile, are following a lot of activists, 0 posts or replies, and have a sketchy af username with a lot of numbers in it.
I suspect we're going to see a lot more of this...
Okay now Governor Scott will do this next. Right? Right?

"Hope is not a naΓ―ve emotion. It is a sober responsibility. Hope is what we do when the odds are long and the options limited. It is the stubborn act of trying when despair feels easier."
I needed this today. That's exactly what we're working for...choosing hope and fighting.
And then corporations are getting their money back while we're left here empty-handed. Evil grifters gonna grift
I for one would like to know how Nazgul the not-wolf goodboi ranked
Boosting for whatever reach this may have.
Reporter @lidiaterrazas.bsky.social crossed the border to stay with the family and baby. She's a damn hero.
DHS and ICE deported them because it was the cruellest thing they could do. That's it.

I think a lot about how we were told to stay away from strangers as a kid, or be careful and stay in groups with friends, because there were bad people who'd take you away.
Those bad people are this fascist regime and their gestapo thugs.
Lunacy.
Was reminded yesterday by an organizer friend that MAGA is circling the drain. Trump and Co. are going to escalate the violence because they're losing.
May the ones who've stood up remain safe. Keep the courage. This'll be a rough one.
Brave little state π
Five alarm fire. And if it passes, we need to litigate the hell out of it
She'll never take accountability because she doesn't care, Becca...we need to stop pretending that they care about anything except stealing what they can-- lives, money, dignity, safety.
She's a liar. Hold her in criminal contempt.
I don't know what it'll take for everyone to say as much and then ACT. How much more evidence? We've had a thousand smoking guns. People act on far less if their coworker is stealing their lunch
I appreciate @balint.house.gov has really raised the bar on what our legislators should be doing
"Ever since the Greenland dialogue has elevated, my colleagues are telling me that they question our commitment,β Sfraga said.
Overseas colleagues are def more reluctant to collab because of this wannabe dictatorship. Decades of diplomacy & work down the drain

So are we gonna start a tax strike or what
Like funnel our income taxes through our state and they distribute it and withhold from the feds if they're not delivering?

This is the future of politics we are all fighting for
It's so wholesome I just can't
My gods I didn't know a post could be this perfect
I can't believe this has to be explained. The ghouls in the WH are classic abusers and will gaslight and tell you you're overreacting
With the disgusting racism coming out of the White House, looming threat of stolen elections, ICE to show up at voting locations, the depravity and cruelty of the elite and rich...remember hope. Remember goodness. There are more of us. People are waking up.
New York chose THIS. Remember this: Try.
Tell Your Members of Congress to rein in ICE NOW. Do not mince your words! Whatever state you're in, be loud, be persistent.
I called out Sen. Welch before Sen. Sanders and Rep. Balint. Shame him to the mountains to get him to do the right thing. act.indivisible.org/sign/ice-out...
Mahmoud, I'm so sorry for all your pain...I am donating to organisations helping folk on the ground so my funds can hopefully reach others too π©΅
When are we going to widely talk about demonic husk Stephen Miller running the presidency? He's gotta be making the Idiot Truth Social posts
They're all ghouls but he's pulling the strings
A bit of hope. Now this for all the children and detainees, please.
Don't let anyone ever tell you that what we do as individuals toward this collective good doesn't make a difference.
I also just sent you a message, I would love for our Indivisible chapter to use your art on posters/etc. and credit you
