If a 5โ€™2โ€™โ€™woman can keep fighting even if some days, it feels like harnessing the waves in the ocean, why can't I? She simply will not accept the things that she can't change coz for her, as long as she's breathing, she will keep fighting!

The question of "why do people vote against their self-interest" is pretty self-explanatory when you look up the literacy rate in local schools.

We have high schools with a literacy rate of 32%.

Thirty-two percent...

I paid to be there. I drove 5 hours to get my mom and then drove 5 hours to bring her back home so we could both be in Minneapolis. My momโ€™s first protest because she knows she had more rights than me because of scotus when she was my age.

The 'Big Beautiful Bill' slashes food stamps. One map shows how much red states depend on them. Over 40 million Americans rely on SNAP. Trump's new legislation will cut nearly $200 billion from federal nutrition programs over the next decade.

Another reminder why Democrats are holding the line. Aside from cuts in healthcare, SNAP benefits will end as early as November.

Hey MAGA: Trump did this.

You voted to lose your SNAP.

The Nazi tattoo alone is disqualifying, regardless of party, but especially in the Democratic Party.

Weโ€™re already in the fight of our lives against fascism in the United States of America *in 2025.*

Cannot believe this even needs to be said.

Not one Republican elected official is speaking out!

Not one is trying to investigate ICE atrocities being committed or the horrific conditions of the detention facilities.

Not one.

Flood their phone lines & demand action!

Call your GOP Senators & Congressional reps at 202-224-3121.

How can we let ICE take our neighbors?

How can we let them brutalize grannies, grandpas & pregnant women?

How can we let them ziptie little children?

This Dolores Huerta video must go viral.

There are atrocities being committed in our name with our taxpayer dollars!

Don't be silent!
Speak out!

Here are the corps that are donating to the ballroom which now will cost $300M. We may not be able to boycott some of these corps, but we can call them, protest at their HQ, or if you own their stock, disinvest in them or go to a shareholders meeting and speak upโ€ฆ.and

AP photos show Rubio's urgent note to Trump before announcement of Mideast peace deal Secretary of State Marco Rubio passed President Donald Trump a note during a White House event, hinting a Mideast peace deal was close.

Trump saw the note from Marco Rubio, told reporters it was about peace in the Middle East.
AP photo shows the note said โ€œApprove a Truth Social post soon.โ€

We already knew he wasnโ€™t writing his posts and now hereโ€™s proof.

Oh yeah and then he lied about live on camera ๐Ÿ˜ก

A Navy veteran rips Trumpโ€™s shutdown apart: โ€œTheyโ€™re cutting back medical help in the hospital. Youโ€™re cheating the veterans out of everything. President Trump, what are you doing? You donโ€™t love American veterans?โ€

Every Trump cut bleeds those who bled for this country.
