Next week is 20 years since the release of The War on Errorism. Are we ready to credit @NOFXband with being the most prescient and astute political philosophers of our time? Because listening to this album now really gives “we told you so” vibes.

You cannot honestly say that this country has free and fair elections. This is not a democracy. This is why voting cannot be the only solution.

I am really fascinated by the DeSantis commercial in which a woman walking across the screen BECOMES Ron DeSantis.

[Devon @devonevec]

I cannot believe there is a single real person who really believes that Dianne Feinstein should still be in the Senate other than Dianne Feinstein herself.

[Devon @devonevec]

@JoeBiden Cool, and what are you doing as Tennessee is being taken over by fascists and the national Dem party is doing nothing about it?

Peep @electamandanh‘s important words here. Denouncing someone else for their white supremacy while actively working towards public policy beloved by white supremacists is hollow AF. https://t.co/9M7jVD5F1l

If Sandy Hook couldn't move the needle on the American right on the need for common sense gun control, nothing ever will. Certainly not Nashville. They don't care. They never did, and they never will. You might as well ask snow to stop being cold.

"If you've ever been to a Scandinavian home, you know they're not letting you leave until you've had a piece of cake." We watch @RealJackEdwards for both the hockey calls & the cultural commentary.

Wealthy people would rather found and fund nonprofits & pretend they’re a replacement for a government funded safety net.

Princeton sociologist Matthew Desmond says if the top 1% of Americans paid the taxes they owed, it would raise $175 billion each year.

"That is just about enough to pull everyone out of poverty," the author says. https://t.co/6gG3gA113F

[Amanda Elizabeth Soto NH State Representative @electamandanh]

Although CACR2 did not pass the house today, I am thrilled that the majority of the House voted in favor. We’ll keep fighting for a Reproductive Liberty Amendment, because it’s right for NH. I’m also thrilled that HB88, the Access to Abortion Care Act, has passed the House.

Me texting “mic drop” to Amanda so fast my thumbs set on fire.

Ladies and Gentlemen...the General Court G.O.A.T. Rep. Lucy Weber.

[Matt Binder @MattBinder]

after watching today's Congressional hearing, it's clear that we must continue to inform our children that TikTok is run by the Chinese Communist Party

TikTok is brought to you by communists

kids, if you like TikTok...then you have communism to thank

@MarkCaton19 @RachelBradyCole @NHHouseDems @electamandanh Doesn’t want babies in public places but is also “pro-life.” Tracks.

[Devon @devonevec]

Had a minor knee procedure today & after, I told the recovery nurse I was in pain & she nonchalantly got me some fentanyl to help. All I could think about was c*ps who scream & cry about how they could die if they just touch fentanyl & use that as an excuse not to save lives.

[Devon @devonevec]

I believe in my higher ed law class this was called the “heckler’s veto” 🙃

BREAKING: The doors at UC Davis

Today at UC Davis, a large group of protestors carrying a banner reading “QUEERS BASH FASH” approached and then smashed the doors to an auditorium at UC Davis, where far right propagandist Charlie Kirk spoke today.

THREAD. Many progressives are not paying enough attention to what is happening with Cop City in Atlanta. The level of state violence against local people organizing to protect an essential forest from becoming a training center for militarized cops is escalating.

[Amanda Elizabeth Soto NH State Representative @electamandanh]

Honored to receive @NHYoungDems's Progressive of the Year award w/ incredible @Jbonilla0720. @mannyfornh did a beautiful job facilitating & @NHSebastian603 gave compelling intros. Progressivism's future can be understood through the lens of the repro justice mov't. Speech att'd.
