A progressive populist movement is growing in Texas. It’s building organizations, building media.

It's electing candidates, and turning people out to vote.

2.2 million Democrats just showed up for a primary.

Whether the pundits see it or not, something big is happening in Texas.

Awesome thread!👏

The 33 million people who call Texas home deserve better than what Republicans have to offer, which is nothing, nada, zilch, zero, cero, nunca!

Something Big Is Happening In Texas

A progressive populist movement is growing.

Trump Administration Live Updates: House to Vote on Funding of Homeland Security Department

Noem funneled 220 million to her buddies and bought airplanes and the GOP wants to vote on further funding for the DHS.
I as a taxpayer, am sick of the corruption and wasting of my money for things that do not benefit our country.

They are also afraid, greedy, un-American, hypocrites, and power hungry.

He cannot do any of these things without his enablers.
Where is Congress? They can stop ALL of it, right now.
Why are they impotent?
The answer? EPSTEIN. The key to it all. Enough of them are compromised that they will let him destroy our nation to protect themselves.

Seems like a good day to remember this. He's the enemy of ALL the people, including MAGA.
They just can't recognize it.
What is it going to take?

Screenshot of UNITED24 Media Western Components Helped Iranian Shahed Drones Reach Cyprus, Dubai, and Beyond The best way to stop Iranian and Russian Shahed drones is not in the sky but on the supply chain. Their production is impossible without Western components.

‼️ Iranian and Russian Shahed drones, even basic variants, are dependent on the global supply chain of high-tech civilian electronics.

‼️ As long as these supply chains remain open, both production volumes and the geography of strikes will continue to expand.

This is Tony Gonzales!
The staffer he was having an affair with committed suicide.

“​​I’ve asked God to forgive me, which he has,” the San Antonio Republican told a radio host the day after he was forced into a primary runoff.

You might want to check out this channel on YouTube. It is specifically about the Insurance and Escorts issue - once again #CF47 lies & has no idea what can be accomplished. It’s worth your time!

8/8 To recap: Trump started a conflict, spiked your gas prices, scared off every private insurer on the planet, and then handed the bill to American taxpayers while promising military protection the Navy says it cannot deliver. But sure. Peace President. Totally. Thanks, MAGA Morons

7/8 Oh and he also promised U.S. Navy escorts to protect these ships. Sounds tough. Except the Navy has already quietly told tanker executives behind closed doors that there are NO ships available for escort duty. No guarantees either. So that was just a post on Truth Social.

6/8 Let that sink in. Private insurers looked at the risk HIS strikes created and said "absolutely not." So now YOU, the American taxpayer, are on the hook for it instead. Experts say payouts could run into the hundreds of millions. Maybe billions. For ships. In a war zone he started.

5/8 So what does the "Peace President" do? He jumps on Truth Social and orders a U.S. government agency, the Development Finance Corp., to take over the insurance that private companies just ran away from screaming. His words: "Effective IMMEDIATELY."GOP won't pay to make life easier for us but...

4/8 Without insurance, tanker ships won't sail. They can't. No captain is risking a billion dollar vessel with no coverage. So tanker traffic through the Strait collapsed by 94%. Oil prices spiked. Gas prices in the U.S. are now above $3.20 a gallon and climbing. BUT TRUMP PUT US ON THE HOOK FOR IT

3/8 Once bombs started dropping, private insurance companies did what any rational business does: they stopped covering ships traveling through a war zone. Makes sense. Nobody insures a house that's already on fire. WE HAVE TO PAY FOR IT

2/8 This weekend, U.S. and Israel launched strikes on Iran. Those strikes killed Iran's Supreme Leader. Iran responded by threatening to shut down the Strait of Hormuz.You know, the waterway that carries 20% of the world's oil. Great peace so far. In short, if a ship gets hit, WE HAVE TO PAY FOR IT

1/8 Trump calls himself the "Peace President." But this week he started a war in Iran, spiked your gas prices, and then quietly signed an order that could cost American taxpayers BILLIONS to cover the wreckage. And most people have no idea it happened. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

7/7 Orwell wasn't writing fantasy.He was writing about how power consolidates - slowly, bureaucratically, with plausible deniability at every step."Deliberative documents." "Draft revisions." "Anti-American ideology." The language is always laundered first.Pay attention. Truth Solidarity Resistance

6/7 The Interior Dept's response to the leaked database? They didn't deny the plans. They called the leak "inappropriate and illegal" and said employees "will be held accountable." The Party didn't deny the rewriting either. It just punished whoever noticed.

5/7 When EPA and FEMA employees signed letters criticizing their agencies' leadership, they were fired or put on leave. In 1984, even thinking the wrong thing was a crime. We're not at thoughtcrime yet but firing people for signing their names is close enough to be alarming.

4/7 Trump's framing for all of this? He's removing "anti-American" ideology. In 1984, Newspeak existed to make dissent literally unthinkable by controlling language. Calling accurate history "anti-American" is the same trick - reframe truth as the threat.

3/7 Orwell called it the "memory hole" , inconvenient history simply disappears. We're watching exhibits on slavery get dismantled and Confederate statues get restored. Not recontextualized. Restored. That's not education. That's erasure.

Leaked Interior Department database reveals US plans to revise historical information The U.S. Interior Department said a database revealing how President Donald Trump's administration planned to revise information on key phases of ​American history at national park sites was deliberat...

2/7 In 1984, the Ministry of Truth's job was to rewrite history to match the Party's current ideology. Right now, the Interior Dept has a database of plans to revise or remove info on black history, LGBT rights, and climate change at hundreds of national park sites. www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

1/7 George Orwell wrote 1984 in 1949 as a warning about how gov't's destroy truth, erase history, & silence dissent. He imagined a dystopia so extreme it felt impossible. 75 years later, a leaked gov't database just described it almost word for word. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

They don’t care anything about the poor or people having healthcare. We should all have universal healthcare here & the rich should pay their fair share of taxes.

The regime leader is out of control with his invasions & unmerited wars. Iran had not attacked us & we weren’t on the verge of war.

Graphic featuring a quote from Senator Ed Markey that reads: “Donald Trump’s illegal war with Iran has already cost $2 billion. Americans don’t want another endless war. We should be funding health care, not warfare.” Markey is shown speaking into a microphone at a press conference, wearing glasses and a suit, with a blue background behind him.

$2 billion already spent on Trump’s war.

Tupac said it decades ago.
“They got money for the war but can’t feed the poor.”

Still true. 😔

Abolishing ICE: A slogan with several interpretations "Abolish ICE" is a malleable term that means different things to different people.
