Blue Sky for bsky friends!

From AOC:

WE ARE STILL IN THIS.
Wipe your tears.
This is the difficult business of hope and defying expectation.
We do not give up.
We run through the tape.

Y’all aren’t allowed to throw in the towel until I do. 😉

Big breath. Locked in. Let’s do this.

Some say that many of the MAGA persuasion will be shocked when Project 2025 actually hurts them too. I don’t buy it. I think 76 million voters knew exactly what they were voting for. The difference in the vote was only 3 million. That’s a reachable number of non-voters to get to the polls in 2026.

Was there today for the H.R. 9495 vote (bill that would have allowed labeling nonprofits as terrorist supporting organizations).

Voted no, of course - but I do want to report that the activism DID work and persuaded members.

I thought it’d be a lonely NO vote, which we take often. It wasn’t.
