Called my maga congress people using the 5 Calls app. My nonprofit is losing funding left and right. Sucks! In the app you can call about what concerns you the most and it gives the background of the topic along the script and numbers to call. Remember Sis. Obama said “do something.” #thepowerofone

I called my maga congress people to say they need to do something about this madness. If their loved one was illegally detained they would be up in arms!. And the thought of sending US citizens to a foreign nation as prisoners…beyond infuriating. I called using the 5 Calls app.

What would a general strike in the US actually look like? General strikes have been the final means to overcome tyrants around the world. What can be done to lay the groundwork for one in the US?

Calls for a general strike in the US are growing. It's important to understand how to organize one, given their key role in overcoming tyrants around the world.

Just wanted to get back to all of you who helped share this message, all of the constitutional amendments failed. Which is great news. White supremacy was put down and I wanted to say thank you for sharing the thread.

Trump’s top security officials were caught openly sharing classified information and putting our troops at risk, yet he refuses to take action.

Why is Trump afraid to hold his team accountable?

I called using the 5 Calls app. Join me. The power of one multiplied can make a difference….which speaks to the power of one person, YOU…ME…taking action.

Don’t fall into a lull. The people in charge of the government seek to inflict the greatest amount of pain for their greedy and hateful gains. I called my maga reps today and about USDA funding cut for food banks, schools and farmers. These people are diabolical.#DoSomething

What ever happened to Trump's promise to make the price of eggs go down??? They've only gone up when you can find some.

Newsmax really can't say much about it so they just... gave me the floor to discuss egg prices.

Maybe I'm wearing them down with my frittatas?

About 30 activists held a peaceful protest at an Israeli weapons contractor in Rosslyn, VA this morning. 24 activists were detained. Their phones were confiscated and, we can presume, are being searched.

Someone explain to me why it's illegal to give an old lady a bottle of water as she's waiting on line for hours in the sun to vote, but it's totally cool for an ultra-billionaire to bribe voters with million dollar checks in Wisconsin.

I called my maga reps and gave them an earful!!! Republicans are the worst!!! I encourage you to use the 5 Calls app which gives you numbers and scripts to call your reps. This fight in the US is a marathon. Stay engaged and in the game.

I called my maga senators today. It always feels like it won’t make a difference but I call anyway because I refuse to give away my freedom. I plan to fight for democracy until the end and give them hell along the way. I used the 5Calls app which gives me the numbers to call and the script.

Tonight I voted "no" on the Republican budget blueprint — that prioritizes the wealthiest and hurts our most vulnerable.

Senator Tina Smith said: This is the ultimate dick boss move from Musk - except he isn’t even the boss, he’s just a dick.

That was in response to Musk saying “Consistent with President @realDonaldTrump's instructions, all federal employees will shortly receive an email requesting to understand what they got done last week. Failure to respond will be taken as a resignation.”

Musk responded @SenTinaSmith “What did you get done last week?”

Elon, I hate to break it to you but you aren’t my boss. I answer to the people of Minnesota.

But since you bring it up, I spent last week fighting to stop tax breaks for billionaires like you, paid for by defunding health care for moms and babies

This is that moment.

We are done waiting for politicians to fix what is broken.

We are done watching billionaires hoard wealth while the working class struggles.

We are done believing we are powerless.
