#democrats

In the new session, #Texas #Democrats will have the State House but not the Senate. And they aren't even waiting for the new session, much less a trifecta, to start slugging it out. They're rapid firing new bills that would improve life for everyone in their state so they can expose the cruelty and corruption of the #Republicans. Once again, southern Democrats are schooling the old national Democrats who think they're safe in their deep blue coastal districts. Texas Dems know how to fight.

We swept the 2026 elections - and that means making sure our electeds take action, so call them constantly! (thanks to https://www.5calls.org/ )

So after YOU delivered a Blue Tsumani walloping to the GOP and Trump, did they learn? Not really. They made Jim Jordan Minority speaker of the House. https://thehill.com/homenews/6211341-republicans-elect-jim-jordan-minority-leader/ A reminder he ignored (or covered up?) a hideous sex abuse scandal at OSU, which got brought up when he tried to be Speaker. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/oct/11/jim-jordan-house-speaker-ohio-state-wrestlers-abuse House Republicans banded together to derail attempts to impeach Pete Hegseth. https://www.nytimes.com/live/2026/11/10/us/hegseth-impeachment-vote-house So between these actions and Stephen Miller, looks like the GOP is all behind racism, war, and covering up sex abuse. So par for the course. Ready to make them pay even more in 2028? #uspol #democracy #epsteinclass #democrats #bluetsunami

The #Democrats are having a convention in Denver this week to decide the party's future-- after we already made it crystal clear what we want. #Denver protestors will not be found wanting. I'm already seeing the protest notices. #NoKings #Schumer #50501movement

Incoming House Member Don Leonard (D-OH) has asked for two preconditions before he votes for Hakeem Jeffries as Speaker: working for a Constitutional Amendment to end the Citizens United decision, and ending support for Israel and the war in Iran. In response, the party has told him to drop his demands, or else they will make his "life a living hell" and ensure he doesn't get reelected in 2028. These kind of threats have no place in a party that calls itself "Democratic". They are refusing the will of the majority of voters who brought them their new majority. Such threats need to be confronted or they will continue, just as in fascism. Progressives are tired of obstruction of popular policies by corporate Democrats like Jeffries. Call your Representative every day and tell them to oppose Jeffries for Speaker. Pass it on. We need to be each other's news media. https://www.denvergazette.com/2026/11/10/incoming-house-democrat-says-party-is-threatening-him/ #Democrats #SpeakeroftheHouse #Speaker #Jeffries #HakeemJeffries

All due respect Sen. Chuck Schumer, it’s always about a team, not the vanity of “me”. You’re not the future, get out of the way. #Democrats #USA

When you're in a hole, you should stop digging. But the Guardians of Pedophiles Party doesn't learn and doesn't do consent. They aren't giving up. Neither are we, though. No matter how much some of our leaders want to capitulate, even though we put the wind at their backs, the people won't stop. Protests are ongoing nationwide and we're still fighting against ICE taking our neighbors. https://www.cleveland.com/open/2026/11/ohio-democrats-brace-for-gop-push-to-curb-amy-actons-powers.html #Ohio #GOP #Democrats

Trump and the GOP got destroyed by YOUR Blue Tsunami. So what do they do? Promote Stephen Miller to the Chief off Staff, doubling down on the murderous, racist policies we spoke out against.

I wrote a nastygram to a less than inspiring senator last night and posted it here. I told him basically that if he wants to redeem himself after all his collaboration he needs to support aggressive new leadership. But you can also use this form from Indivisible!

OK we won, now let's reflect on the GOP trying to cope after spending a decade trying to ruin America and having YOU destroy them. Enjoy the meltdown.

Raman is a member of the #DemocraticSocialistsOfAmerica #DSA

I think of this as the #Mamdani template:

1. run as an outsider within the #Democrats
2. just fucking beat them anyways

We can replicate this across the country, and replace the shitty #DNC
