Secular Lefty

For more information on the US primary elections, save this thread 🧵 for more details on each state. The first 3 states voting are #Arkansas #NorthCarolina & #Texas on March 3rd Many of the Secular Lefty Approved Candidates have Bluesky accounts & are in the starter pack below.

Blue Cross Blue Shield is being sued as a monopoly after the state found it's been in a conspiracy to restrict access to healthcare. Corporations should not have this much power. We need money out of politics, money in our pockets, and Medicare for All.

Q: If you're elected governor, what's the first thing you want to do? FRANCESCA HONG: We want to make sure we call a special session for the legislation on a moratorium on data centers

Q: Were you prepared for pushback you received, especially from Republicans, framing you as too extreme for Wisconsin? HONG: What's extreme is Rep. Tiffany has voted against interests of Wisconsinites over & over. What's extreme is that he's an election denier & continues to protect pedophiles

Happy primary day! Get out and vote for @cedrickfrazier.bsky.social @peggyflanagan.bsky.social ❤️ Polls close at 8pm.

The Democratic Party’s mega-donor class is horrified by the rising tide of progressive populism. Too bad. It's time they recognize the real choice is between democracy and tyranny, between an economy that works for all or one that works for a small sliver at the top.

TONIGHT: Let’s get to work to elect real Democratic fighters in Michigan! Following the lead of our local groups, we’ve endorsed @abdulelsayed.bsky.social, @wewill2026.bsky.social and @donavanmckinney.bsky.social. Join us to learn how you can help get out the vote for their people-powered campaigns.

They want us to own nothing. To rent you your home, your car, your entire life, while they sit in paradise, profiting off every second. But that is not the only option.

Victory in Colorado! Congratulations to Melat on winning her primary in CO-01! Together, we proved once again that grassroots power can defeat AIPAC and secure a win for a champion of Palestinian rights.

I’m honored to once again earn the endorsement of CBTU’s St. Louis Chapter. CBTU has done incredible work advocating for the rights of Black workers in the St. Louis area for decades. Together, fighting for livable wages, fair working conditions, the right to organize, and more.

My heart is with everyone impacted by the wildfires burning across Colorado, and especially with the families of the three firefighters who lost their lives this past weekend, and those who were injured while keeping our communities safe. Stay safe, Colorado ✊🏽❤️

#MI07 is one of the most watched swing districts in the country. Our campaign offers voters an alternative to the establishment status quo. Gander Newsroom published a full profile on our campaign, running on people-first politics.

Proud to stand with our UAW public defenders fighting for: Fair contract NOW. Fair wages and benefits NOW. Fair workloads NOW.

.@wired - Michiganders across the political spectrum are rebelling against data center proposals. I'm gaining their support because, unlike my opponents, I don't take money from big tech executives, and I show up on the picket line to protest these data centers with residents.

Please join Congresswoman @delia.bsky.social and me as we rally in Grand Rapids on July 3rd! Doors open at 5:30 PM:

The debate is OFF. Both my primary opponents have refused to participate in a TV debate. Barrett doesn't show up either. It's clear my opponents would offer more of the same. In lieu of the debate, we'll hold a town hall and save a seat for them, if they change their minds.

Her supporters said it best, Senator Collins always stands with Trump when it counts.

They show you the millions raised. We show you the work ethic. If we can stretch a budget on the campaign trail, imagine what we’ll do in office. heathhowardnh.com #nhpolitics #NH01

"Every life is sacred [and] that is inconsistent with writing a blank check to kill people, whether they're in our country or elsewhere." We talked to Jenneva in North Miami about why her Jewish values led her to advocate for accountability and stop funding violence abroad.

In small towns and big cities across Colorado, Indivisible activists are having 1:1 conversations with their neighbors and changing what is politically possible. Let’s go, fight, and WIN this! ❤️✊🏽

THIS IS HOW WE WIN! We’re getting rid of do-nothing-Dems in congressional districts across the US. Tomorrow, it’s Colorado’s turn. Tonight, we’re getting out the vote for @senadorajulie.bsky.social, and making voters know what’s at stake.

Susan Collins has the billionaires. The lobbyists. The Super PACs. The Washington establishment. But we have Maine.

Ready to make a difference? I’m looking for passionate NJ-10 college students and recent grads to join our team this Fall as interns in my D.C. and Newark offices.

It was wonderful to welcome Abigail, PA-12's Congressional Art Competition winner, to the Capitol and hear about the inspiration behind her powerful piece, "a lo que conduce la injusticia." Congratulations on this well-deserved recognition!"

AI was built off us. It should work for us, not against us. Americans deserve clarity, control, and a say in how this transformative technology will shape our world.

We are 50 days away from the August 18 primary election here in Florida. Florida is a closed primary state. So if you want me to win the Democratic nomination and be the candidate to take on Brian Mast, you have to be registered as a democrat in order to vote in the Democratic primary election.

We are just $2,500 away from our goal. Every contribution brings us closer to reaching more voters, organizing more volunteers, and building the kind of movement that inspires change and brings our community together.

"We've arrived here brick by brick, really building this union over years and years." I talked about @uawregion9a.bsky.social's growing political muscle, built by and for the rank-and-file.

This Haley Stevens video is insane. Ban foreign lobbying groups. End Citizens United. Elect people who care more about their communities than their biggest donors. And if you're in Michigan, vote for Abdul El-Sayed.

I want to hear from YOU and share how I've been working for the East Bay in Congress - join me for a town hall July 7th at 6:00 PM in Albany. Please RSVP at the link below to receive location information and arrival instructions. See you there! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

We knocked on 600 doors this weekend in Attleboro, Bellingham, Brookline, N. Attleboro, and Newton! We are scaling up our canvassing operations in all 35 municipalities in the district. If you live in or near MA-4, join our campaign: poulos.house/volunteer.

Thank you to all who joined our first Town Hall in Bay Village! Accountability starts with showing up to listen. Ohio's 7th deserves that level of commitment. Join us next: Brook Park Library 7/1, 6-8pm Parma Heights Library 7/11, 1-3pm Strongsville Library 7/18, 1-3pm Medina Library 8/15, 1-3pm

Over 4,000 people canvassed today by volunteers across #MI07 Light work for the Lawrence camp. These grassroots will carry us past August, through November, and all the way to DC WE WILL WIN

Happy Pride, St. Louis! We had an amazing day downtown celebrating STL’s queer community. Together, our movement will go back to Congress and we’ll protect the rights and well-being of our LGBTQ+ community from the current administration’s attacks.

Am I dangerous? To AIPAC...yes. To corporations who want to buy off politicians...yes. To the system that allows this to go on...yes. But to the working people of Michigan? Hell no.

Ending poverty is pragmatic. Medicare for All is pragmatic. Ending Citizens United is pragmatic. Replacing Mitch McConnell and retiring Andy Barr so we can finally deliver for working people is the most rational, practical, and pragmatic thing we can do.

I attended my first event and the newest part of Florida Congressional district 21, Lake Park, Florida. I was able to meet Vice Mayor Mike Hensley, Mayor Roger Michaud, and Commissioner Judith Thomas. Thankful to them for hearing my message and the opportunity to earn their support.

⚓️ Rhode Islanders: if you want a fighter in the U.S. Senate who will tax the billionaires, get universal healthcare, and stand up to Donald Trump and the oligarchs, you're in the right place. ⏰ Mark your calendars for September 9th and check out burbridgeforri.com for more

Tomorrow morning, we're kicking off Election Day right at home in Ferriday with some sweet treats and even better conversation! 🍩🗳️

Trump’s illegal war has cost thousands of lives, wasted billions in taxpayer dollars, and stoked a wider conflict. Now he wants applause for attempting to clean up a mess of his own making. A peace deal is welcome news, but we never should've gotten here.

My opponent,Tom Suozzi (D?-NY) held Palantir stock when he voted for additional DHS funding (benefitting Palantir) right after Renee Good's murder. Voting is already in progress for the primary, and I am on the ballot. Please make a donation today to help fund GOTV efforts: votewelch.com

We have sacrificed trillions of dollars and tens of thousands of American lives in a series of Middle East wars, and all we've accomplished is making some executives at Raytheon and Lockheed Martin very, very rich.

This is our last full week to get out the vote ahead of Primary Day on June 23rd 🗳️ We're hitting the streets to fight back against Trump's megadonors and deliver real change for New Yorkers.

Wall street folks are celebrating Elon Musk for creating 4,400 millionaires. Fine. Did any of them celebrate Joe Biden's IRA, ARP, CHIPS for creating millions of good paying jobs? Our barometer should be opportunity & stability for the majority, not simply wealth for the few.

Brad, a 5% tax on Elon's trillion net worth would literally pay for free college and trade school for every American. And with the market's growth, he still would be worth over a trillion dollars! You don't think that's worth it?

It's clear that the second Trump term is outside the Constitution and a discontinuation of the American tradition. We should just declare it illegitimate and we'll redo our 250th Anniversary when we're back on track.

This the basic difference. Republicans believe that that if you let the wealthy spend capital it will make Americans prosperous. Democrats believe that the federal government investing in the healthcare & education of our people will make America prosperous & productive.

Musk is worth more than South Africa’s GDP. Bernie Sanders and I proposed a 5% tax on people like him. In one year, it could fund: - free public college & trade school -$10/day childcare - Special-needs education nationwide Wealth inequality is the moral failure of our time.

We are working to build a politics of solidarity, to win a city that everyone can afford, where everyone is welcome, and where we don’t compromise on anyone’s humanity. Thanks @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social for helping energize our volunteers yesterday!
