I'm Jewish, I was born in New York City. My grandparents were immigrants from Europe. My grandfather opened a kosher dairy restaurant in lower Manhattan. Jonathan Greenblatt from the ADL is a bigot who doesn't speak for me. Congratulations, Mayor Mamdani!

More amazing news! In a historic move, New Mexico just became the first state in America to guarantee free, universal child care for all residents. 🩵 Families win, kids thrive, and the economy grows. Now let’s get the entire U.S. to follow suit.

Those MAGA tears taste delicious!

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social delivered a scalding hot #CupOfJoe! “The extremists are all in on the Pedophile Protection Program, but could care less about healthcare for everyday Americans.” #TurnUpTheVolume

While Democrats celebrate victories across the nation, the people are rising. 🔥 Americans are flooding the streets of D.C., reclaiming their power and their voices; a defiant rebuke to Trump’s authoritarian rule. This is what democracy looks like. 💪🏽🇺🇸 #BlueWave

Your daily reminder. You have a sexual predator in the WH. Swear in Adelita Grijalva. Thank you for your attention to this matter. #TrumpEpsteinCoverup #SayLessRepeatMore

USA Today: The Kansas state Legislature won't have a special session to redistrict its congressional maps in favor of Republicans, skipping out on a push led by Trump ahead of the 2026 midterms. The tide is turning against Trump, keep up the pressure! #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

OMG ! This is horrible , some of the blows could kill someone.

There were a lot of factors that drove more white women to vote for Democrats in Virginia, but one of them was reproductive healthcare. 🧵

Voters sent Trump and the GOP a clear message, we will not be forced into submission. So instead of deciding to put constituents over Trump, expect Republicans to double down on voter suppression efforts. #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

One of the quiet victories yesterday. Georgia rebuked the data centers as everyone should!! Great stuff 💥 Every election and every vote matters!

Gavin Newsom: Trump is a historic president. He's the most historically unpopular president in modern history. In every critical category, Trump is under water. He promised to make us healthier. He promised to make us wealthier. We're sicker and poorer. #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

Are you listening to the tariff arguments at the supreme court? You should be. Our taxpayer funded solicitor general is arguing for an imperial presidency. Link to actual argument mid article. www.npr.org/2025/11/05/n... #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

#ProudBlue #Pinks #ResistanceUnited Good morning, friends! Every step forward is a victory, no matter how small it may seem. Believe in yourself and your journey. Be patient with yourself.

Dems walkin up on the joint like…

Trump just admitted it the shutdown’s been disastrous for Republicans. While millions suffer, voters know who to blame. The GOP’s chaos strategy backfired, and Democrats are the ones standing up for workers, families, and sanity. The meltdown is theirs. The momentum is ours.🔥

@ericadeuso.bsky.social Erica Deuso just made history as the first transgender woman mayor and she did it with grace, intelligence, and heart. Representation matters, and she’s proof that leadership has no gender—just vision, courage, and community. #Pinks #MomSky

Daily Beast: In the wake of GOP beatings in VA, NJ, CA, and NYC, MAGA has descended into a blame fest, arguing over whether Republicans had failed to mobilize enough voters or if internal fighting and other strategic missteps were to blame. It was the fascism. #ProudBlue #Pinks #VoteBlue2026

I feel like I’m in The Twilight Zone. First, I post Nick Fuentes making sense. Now, we have MTG.

America rose and the map turned more blue.💥 From deep-red towns to heartland cities, voters proved what democracy really looks like when people take back power. The wave’s still rising: share it, fuel it, live it. 🌊🔥 Read & roar: www.digitaldrumbeat.com/p/america-ri...

Nope, that's not true. Trump was on every ballot that had Republicans running for office. Voters called bullshit on the fascist fucks. #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

Don Winslow nails it again! His new TikTok video ICE CLOWN SHOW perfectly exposes the chaos, cruelty, and incompetence behind Trump’s immigration circus. 🎪 Nobody tells the truth with more fire and style. 🔥 #DonWinslow #ICEClownShow #Trump #Resistance #Politics #USDemocracy #Pinks

So the DOJ decided to charge first, think later? 👀. A federal judge just ripped into prosecutors over their “indict first, investigate second” approach to the Comey case calling it “highly unusual.” That’s not justice, that’s politics. #Comey #DOJ #USDemocracy #Pinks apple.news/A6eFhnLwJRYe...

Last night we the people reached for something better & grasped it. We have a long way to go to roll back the totalitarian tide but from Mississippi to Colorado, from Georgia to Detroit, from New Jersey & Virginia to California we made progress! Now let’s do 2026 the same way!

AP Poll Young NYC voters broke hard for Mamdani Sherrill performed well among non-white voters Most Muslim voters supported Mamdani Young voters broke hard for Democrats — but especially women Federal government worker households supported Spanberger Veteran households voted against Sherrill

8+ weeks of ICE/CBP induced chaos in our city. Chicagoans are furious.

Updated partial list of Dem Senators negotiating to end the shutdown: Gary Peters (D-Michigan) Mark Kelly (D-Arizona) Angus King (I-Maine) Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) Maggie Hassan (D-NH) Instead of using our election blowout as leverage to extend ACA credits, they'll agree to a "promise" to do so.

Money Talks News: American families will pay an average of $2,700 more annually due to Trump's tariff policies. GOP Rochester Hills, Michigan Mayor: "Higher tariffs lead to higher cost. Higher cost leads to lower demand. Lower demand leads to lower production...means job loss." #ProudBlue #Pinks

The GOP leadership is beholden to Yam Tits. This is the time they could try and change the direction. Will they? I bet not, going to double down on this path of devastation and destruction.

#MorningVibe Don’t wait decades to believe in yourself. Don’t be afraid to use your power. Don’t be intimidated by anyone whose goal it it is to lessen you. Turn the volume up.

#ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited #Pinks It was a referendum on your cruelty and inability to be honest. Suck it, DonOLD!

PM Carney just handled that reporter’s question perfectly so calm, clear, and unflustered. He didn’t dodge the issue, just spoke with confidence and substance. As a supporter, it only deepens my trust in his leadership. 🇨🇦 #MarkCarney #Leadership #Canada #Politics #USDemocracy #Pinks

So sick of candidates pretending to be Christians and supporting and protecting pedophiles. Van Epps is a Trump stooge and by proof in this clip — an enabler of child abuse. TN-7 your special election is December 2nd

This is a most excellent confident start—5 experienced women!

Action Alert! We want the government open, but only with restored ACA subsidies. Call the following Senators 👇 & demand any deal includes iron clad, in-writing agreements on subsidies that are more than a promised "vote". prospect.org/2025/11/04/t... @5calls.org

Incredible federal court hearing in Chicago this morning over ICE assaults on the press & protestors. The DOJ lawyers are tying themselves in knots as the video evidence clearly shows ICE intentionally assaulting everyone. Follow @jonseidel.bsky.social for on going updates:

VIRGINIA ROBERTS GIUFFRE, A FALLEN SHERO Trump told a reporter that he was upset with Epstein because "he 'stole' Virginia Roberts Giuffre from his Mar-a-Lago spa". SHE WAS ONLY 17 and became a sexual object for wealthy men. She fought, despite the threats and pressure that took her life away.

Johnson: When we cheat, we win.

Pam Bondi LITERALLY Kisses 🦆 Trump's A** How can #Felon supporters watch South Park & not realize what’s true about it?! Raging Moderates @jessicatarlov.bsky.social @katiephang.bsky.social #MagaCultMorons

SCOTUS appears doubtful re legality of tariffs as Atty Neal Katyal argues: “Tariffs are taxes. They take dollars from Americans pockets...Our founders gave that taxing power to Congress alone. POTUS bypassed Congress and imposed one of the largest tax increases.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

Winners: THE PEOPLE. Turning toward 2026 and noting the good progressive move left. Thank you to the youth who kicked ass in NYC and in CA on Yes on 50. You are the beating heart of our Democratic Party. Thank you from the bottom of my blue heart!💙 💙 #Pinks

Mad love shoutout to all the patriotic warriors who kept fighting through the cruelty, the demoralization, the sheer chaos and insanity to help deliver a MASSIVE message to MAGA-infected #Republicans. WE. THE. PEOPLE. #NoKings

And this is why we beat the pants off them yesterday. #ItsTheEconomyStupid #Pinks

Thank you California and Governor Newsom! We have the ability to elect 5 more representatives in the House for 2026! FU Trump & Abbot! #Pinks

There was so much more winning!: 1st female Detroit Mayor, Cincinnati mayor, VA Governor, Lt. Gov, & AG, the Dem majority in the VA House of Delegates increased, ME said no to election rigging, wins in SC, Mississippi, GA, & CA Prop 50! (There are errors below, but I’m posting for lobster comment.)

Kristi Nome and trump are denying members of congress access to detention facilities where prisoners are held. What are they hiding?

Yesterday, Democratic candidates won 3 Council seats in the town of Hudson, Ohio. The sitting Republican Council President up for reelection in 2027 resigned today. 👀 🤔

Congratulations to the new Mayor of NYC and his wife 🇺🇸💙🙏 #LibertyAndJusticeForAll #TTDS

Last night was awesome. Now, back to work: #ReleaseTheEpstienFiles!!!

The US is headed towards economic collapse because of Trump’s tariffs, tax cuts for the billionaires and his cruel, asinine policies.

This is the Sept incident Rev Black is describing in Federal Court in Chicago this afternoon: Shot in the head with pepper balls, without warning by ICE agents outside the Broadview immigration detention facility.

1️⃣ The right-wing echo chamber isn’t organic. It is engineered. This week’s #EchoMap reveals how one lie, “America is collapsing because of Democrats,” spread from meme accounts to GOP talking points in six days. #Voices4Victory #DV1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

We told you this would happen. www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

Did anyone vote for Mamdani specifically because of this promise?

It was an incredible night for Democrats as we dominated elections across the country. Every win makes a difference. A lot of people donated a lot of time, money and effort to make this happen. I especially want to thank our friends overseas for their untiring dedication and support. 💙🙏

I love Gerry’s positivity here and totally agree with him! Democrats just scored wins across the country a clear message that voters are rejecting extremism and choosing progress. Even Mississippi Democrats won 2 seats breaking the Republican Senate Supermajority! #BlueWave #USDemocracy #Pinks

My favorite part of his speech! 👏. Newly elected NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani didn’t hold back delivering a powerful message directly to Trump during his victory speech. A bold reminder that courage and conviction still have a place in politics. 💪 #mamdani #newyork #USDemocracy #Pinks

Trust me, this is worth watching until the end 😂😂😂

Florida Young Democrats capture the excitement of seeing Mamdani win NYC. May the Autocracy of Dunces be over. Democrats had a huge Florida win, flipping the Clermont City Council in Lake County, Florida. 🫶 AND Miami mayor race heads to a runoff: A Democrat against a DeSantis-endorsed candidate.

#ResistanceRoots Eugene V. Debs was born on this day in 1855 in Terre Haute, Ind. Debs was a prominent labor leader, political activist and five-time Socialist Party candidate for President of the U.S. He opposed capitalist wars and was a vocal advocate for workers’ rights and social justice. /1

We canceled our #Spotify family subscription. We told them that we canceled in protest of their running ICE ads. We are long time #Spotify users & huge music fans We are using our economic power to say NO #CancelSpotify #BoycottSpotify #ICE needs to get out of our communities now.

This is great news. A State finally ensuring there is accountability against these Gestapo ICE agents terrorizing communities. Well Done, California - You are next. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue dailynorthwestern.com/2025/11/03/c...

KY Gov. Beshear: Let me be clear. Trump has both the funding & the authority to fund SNAP during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that Trump has made. #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

We know from the deficit that Trump has never had to balance a checkbook, but now the befuddled little man thinks we have to Show Papers at the grocery store.

Fvck! Our work is NOT done. "Centrist" Senate Dems are negotiating to end the shutdown in exchange for "promises" to extend #ACAcredits down the line. GIVE ME A BREAK. Hit those phones, and target those "centrist" Senators. www.usa.gov/elected-offi... www.cnn.com/2025/11/04/p...

Read this by @gelliottmorris.com about how & why Dems scored big on Tuesday. Bottom line: affordability & anti-Trump backlash won the day. Also: -Almost every single county moved to Dems -Democrats swung economy-focused voters by 93 points -Trump’s gains with Gen Z and Latinos have vanished

Don’t threaten us with a good time!

Delusional people see ordinary things as threats They believe people who aren't wealthy Are breaking the laws on ships There's no court case They become victims No consequences for the delusional because... They were installed in powerful positions Without experience Or compassion

MP (NS) Chris d’Entremont appeared alongside PM Carney this morning after ditching the Conservatives to join Liberals right after their budget drop. He said he’s no longer “aligned” with PP’s political ideals and hinted others in the party may soon follow. 🇨🇦 #cdnpoli #USDemocracy #Pinks Article⬇️⬇️

I saw this video clip yesterday- front page of the Guardian today. Truly horrific. Want to know how to create people who hate the USA? Here is one way.

Thank you to my BlueSky supporters. In a short-span of time and as an Independent in deep blue Bloomfield NJ, I garnered 20% w/ 2,891 folks who voted for me. We are tired of uncontested elections, high taxes and machine candidates. #DemVoice1

This is happening in Chicago’s northwest side. ICE literally invading a private business to grab a day care employee. Disgusting.

Look at these numbers for young men. Keep up the anti-Trump messaging — being a bulwark against chaos and cruelty — and match it with pragmatic cost-of-living issues.

SC voters we elect @drjljohnson.bsky.social next year. Follow the lead of NJ and VA! They got it right! #scpol #NewSC

So, this PA town called Downington, just elected a trans woman as their mayor. She ran against a GOP candidate. Democrats have to stick to their original values of inclusion and equality. You don’t have to throw the trans community under the bus.

✨ The tides are turning in the Deep South. Democrats just flipped TWO seats and shattered the GOP supermajority: proof that no place is beyond change when people rise up and vote for progress. 💙 #BlueWave

Top ICE chief lied under oath when he testified he was hit with a rock which is why he used tear gas on protesters. Videos show he was not hit with anything. He needs to be arrested for assault on state charges so he can’t be pardoned. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1 www.thedailybeast.com//

Thank you to the candidates, campaign workers, the Dems who are standing up against this regime, the post card writers, and most of all to the voters! I feel like “Hope” is perched in my soul again.

NYC has a new mayor who’s saying the quiet part out loud: When workers have ironclad rights, union-busters shrink. Mayor @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social gets it. We’re building a future where workers hold the power and we’re just getting started. ✊🏾💜

Black and Latino voters are the spine of the Democratic Party, not white moderates. That’s what this election showed—when candidates actually energize the people doing the groundwork, the ones who show up rain or shine, they win. You can’t fake authenticity or build power without us. #Pinks #Momsky

Chicagoans have repeatedly been hit with unwarranted tear gas attacks and now in federal court, CBP says it's no big deal: Loevy: "Tear gas is a serious weapon, would you agree?" Hewson: "No."

Some mysteries solve themselves.

Terror at a Chicago daycare facility: "The agents had followed the woman as she parked and chased her inside the daycare and preschool." “It’s some of the most chilling video footage I have ever seen" said one local elected official. blockclubchicago.org/2025/11/05/d...

#ResistanceRoots Today in history, 1916: A violent confrontation between members of the Industrial Workers of the World union and local authorities left five workers dead and 27 injured. The Everett massacre, aka Bloody Sunday, marked a deadly peak in tensions during a shingle weavers’ strike. /1

Moms 4 Liberty went 0 for 31 yesterday in their races.

The American voting public has just given permission for Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries to be the leaders we need, rather than doing what their positions as House and Senate Leaders demand. Lead the Way

Really good news, via Daniel Nichanian: Bucks County, #Pennsylvania, was ground 0 for conservative takeover of school boards & anti-LGBTQ policies in 2021, on Central Bucks & Pennridge boards. Dems flipped both boards back in 2023. Tonight, Dems have ousted *all* Repubs from both school boards

#ResistanceEarth Voters made it clear yesterday that they won't tolerate the cruel policies of Trump/Repubs. One factor driving their anger is escalating energy costs. Climate advocates say that Trump's war on clean energy is to blame. insideclimatenews.org/news/0511202...

When the National Review is reporting bad shit, it's bad! This admin is disgraceful. DOj is a terror organization. Fraud, waste and abuse is the new motto! Sidebar: Sen #fettermanchin thought she was a good idea and voted for her!!

This is obscene: "Lawyers play a video that was played for Bovino. In it, he tells agents "everybody fucking gets it if they touch you." "This is OUR fucking city," Bovino tells them" (From Bovino's deposition played in court today courtesy journalist @jonseidel.bsky.social)

Just FYI: The Mayor of NYC doesn't have the power to change minimum wage, tax rates, or even bus/subway fares. That authority is with Governor and state legislators. 🤷🏻‍♀️

No words.

Women are being raped by people pretending to be ICE. Women are being raped by actual ICE agents. Women and being raped while in detention. These men are leveraging the unchecked power bestowed on them by an abusive regime to perpetrate more abuse. Abolishing ICE is rape prevention.
