A small cabal of self serving, ultra rich tech titans should not be allowed to drive humanity off a cliff with artificial super intelligence, while they quietly build their rockets and bunkers in New Zealand and Hawaii to escape the apocalypse.
Stand with us and DO NOT ACCEPT this future.
AI companies admit what they’re building might kill everyone. We don't have to agree to this.
Add your name at donotaccept.ai to say: we do not accept your terms.

For Democrats to continue taking back power nationwide, we need highly trained campaign and party staffers.
We’re partnering with Arena and GAIN Power to host a FREE virtual training series to help staffers navigate the post-election period. Sign up: win.dnc.org/2026-post-electi…

Democrats won by recognizing Americans’ economic pain, denouncing Washington corruption that has made a rigged economy worse by favoring giant corporations over working people, and by pledging to upend this system.
Americans need Democrats to deliver now.
Larry Drake retweeted
Nobody is above criticism. But Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer put in the work, helped recruit competitive candidates, and fought to deliver what could be one of the largest Democratic midterm victories in American history.
With Democrats potentially gaining as many as nine Senate seats and an enormous House majority, those who helped engineer this victory deserve the opportunity to lead.
They earned that opportunity. Now let them use it to deliver what voters demanded: AFFORDABILITY & ACCOUNTABILITY.
We can demand more without disrespecting those who got us here.
We've long feared that Democrats would snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory.
Making @hakeemjeffries and @SenSchumer Speaker and Senate Majority Leader would be the very definition of that.

Excited to see my friend Stefany Shaheen win her race for New Hampshire’s 1st Congressional District!
Congrats, Rep-elect Shaheen!

Malcolm Kenyatta gave a great keynote speech at the Portsmouth Democrats (NH) banquet in September 2025. Very inspirational. So glad he was re-elected! #NHPolitics
Great to see Pennsylvania State Rep. and DNC Vice Chair Malcolm Kenyatta reelected tonight!
In the House, Malcolm has fought to invest in public transit, defend LGBTQ+ rights, and lower costs for working families.
He’s a key voice in our party, and I’m proud to call him a friend.

When I became DNC chair, I made a bet: If we organized everywhere, we could win anywhere.
Democrats had to start organizing year-round—in blue states, red states, and purple states—to rebuild trust with voters and win back power nationwide. And that’s exactly what we did. 🧵

People are finally starting to understand just how good @kenmartin73 was for the DNC and our party. Investing SMARTER rather than simply fundraising BIGGER was the way to go and Ken got that.
A lot of people gave @kenmartin73 a hard time. He led the DNC when our party had our biggest win since 2008. He built up digital and grassroots capability. I want to thank him and so many of the talented staff at the DNC for their sleepless nights and work. We see what you did.
Larry Drake retweeted
Our victories on Tuesday were made possible by Cinde Warmington carrying the party’s banner and creating a solid foundation for our entire ticket despite being outspent 5 to 1. Her masterful candidacy didn’t win but she deserves great credit for the 2026 success.#nhpolitics

Little to no sustained investment in FL, LA, MS, SC, and much of the South. That MUST change.
We can’t keep calling Black voters the backbone of the Democratic Party while failing to invest in the states where so many live.
Listen to the folks on the ground. Invest in them. Give them the resources to build and compete.
You can’t win everywhere if you refuse to invest everywhere.
I remember that just a few months ago, quite a few people were calling for @kenmartin73 to resign because he supposedly was not a good fundraiser. I'm glad he persevered. #NHPolitics
Chair @kenmartin73 explaining how the 57 state party investments--along with an amazingly strong bench of candidates, and of course Trump not delivering on promises--led to the historic wins. Every state had wins. Because we invested everywhere not just a handful of states.

Watching white liberals publicly call for Democrats to reject the first Black Speaker of the House is legitimately wild
Larry Drake retweeted
The fact is the more deranged Trump gets, the better for Democrats. He is the best campaign ad in the history of politics. We r in full crazy town at this point. Meaning landslide in ‘28. Politically speaking, Dems should celebrate the Miller appointment. Though it’s truly horrible for the country.
Larry Drake retweeted
If you’re a Democrat doing intra-party score settling — whether ideological or personal — and 2028 posturing on Twitter after three days after we just won 260 U.S. House seats, flipped 9 U.S. seats, flipped 7 Governor’s mansions & flipped 11 state legislative chambers, you have lost all perspective.

Republicans confronted a five-alarm fire Tuesday that engulfed their House and senate majorities, and is still smoldering.
But instead of a hose, @POTUS reached for a can of kerosene by naming the incendiary Stephen Miller as his new WH COS.
Larry Drake retweeted
Stephen Miller is the architect of some of this Administration's most horrifying actions.
He is a bigot who should have been fired long ago. Instead, President Trump is promoting him.
President Trump has learned nothing and is doubling down on his mistakes.
Larry Drake retweeted
The GOP loses everything beyond deep MAGA terrain (+ even some there), suffers big reversals w/all the groups that moved to Trump in 24, swing voters & even non-MAGA Rs, & Trump's answer is to elevate @StephenM as COS, w/his unerring instinct for outreach & consensus. Got it.
