Silence Is Not an Option But you can still speak out and stay safe.

These days it can be scary to stand up and speak out publicly, but it is vital that everyone plays a role in saving democracy. Here are some ways to speak out and stay safe.

Democrats want our leaders to fight the abuses forced upon us by Donald Trump and his MAGA cabal

Trump’s
Shutdown

It's clear that they work for billionaires— not for us.

Our elected Republican leaders are actively working against us.
They want to take the healthcare away from millions to fund tax cuts for billionaires.
Now they're holding our government hostage to get it.
☎️ your congressperson 202 224 3121 and tell them to vote NO on this budget.

𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙙 Trump for wasting time golfing + obsessing over Epstein files instead of focusing on preventing a shutdown - while giving off pure, wholesome Ted Lasso dad energy. 🔥⚽

A 5x draft dodger lecturing 800 generals, telling them they can clap if they want?

This is very interesting but surely needs to be updated as we watch women in SC lose these hard fought rights and representation. Just note we are down to 2 women senators of 46 in our state senate. Representation matters.

America 250: The Billionaire War on Public Education A dark-money campaign to defund schools, silence teachers, and replace democracy with indoctrination.

Unprecedented & authoritarian.
Federal law explicitly prohibits govt control over school curricula.
The Brookings Institution warns that dismantling civil rights & promoting ideological curricula is a rollback of decades of progress & threatens our democratic foundation

I’m sorry, was it the DEMOCRATS who defunded Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act to give tax breaks to billionaires

Nope-that was Trump

With votes from MAGA Senators like Roger Marshall

Now hundreds of rural hospitals will probably have to close

And only the Democrats are trying to stop this

When Democrats bring back sanity, each of these ICE criminals should be forced to pay back every penny the government loses on the suits. There will be empty concentration camps where these jackbooted thugs can work off their debt to our civil society. Dems, put it in your platform!

These are some of the violent criminals ICE detained in their performative show of force in Millennium Park on Sunday.

Oh wait, it’s only Hispanic families with small children.

Our country is currently creating a generation of traumatized youngsters who will grow up hating America.

Today I spoke with a neighbor (a reliable Democratic voter) about Prop 50.

She was dead set against it, but I was able to change her mind.

She didn't understand that Republicans are stealing Democratic Congressional seats across the country.

Talk to your friends & tell them to vote YES on Prop50!

More Impeachable Actions….
