I totally get it. I'm deeply exhausted & scared. I'm not ready to give up yet. I'm going to hang on at least until the midterms. We need our people to come out in droves. Then we'll see if there's hope. Please take care of yourself a enjoy the well-deserved break, however long that turns out to be.

We’ve uncovered fraud, waste, and abuse! ICE has now exceeded its congressionally approved budget. ICE is violating the Antideficiency Act by spending beyond Congressional authorization.

Wayne County community rally amid ICE raid at restaurant Newswatch 16's Emily Kress spoke with people in the Honesdale community who are shaken after watching three restaurant employees get detained.

""It's really hard to fathom that the guy making my pizza for 25 years is a gangster and a terrorist, and the person who shows up in an unmarked car wearing a mask and body armor comes to take him away is somehow the good guy," said Simon..."

The Constitution guarantees all citizens the right to freedom of speech

The right to peaceably assemble

The right to petition the government for a redress of grievances

I’ll be DAMNED if I let some wannabe dictator take away MY rights

See you on Saturday, Trump

A group of angry protesters wearing red "MAGA" hats, holding torches and pitchforks. They wave protest signs that read "TARIFFS ON PENGUINS NOW!", "PENGUINS OUTSMARTED US FOR YEARS!" and "MAKE PENGUINS PAY!"

I will no longer read the NYT. They have capitulated to trump's authoritarian regime and are a discredit to journalism.

We lost 4 Americans in Benghazi and MAGA still won’t shut up about it.

We lost 4 American soldiers today in Lithuania.

And Donald Trump didn’t know anything about it.

America’s heart beats with Ukraine’s brave souls, pouring out military might, funds, and tears to fuel their desperate stand for freedom.

We stand with them, united and unwavering.

We all need to take lessons from Chris Kluwe. We need to disrupt locally, state wide & nation wide.

HB is where I grew up & I’m extremely disappointed in my home town.

Way to go Chris! Let’s all keep resisting.

Republicans know making cuts to these services will be a losing issue. White poor Republicans living in red states, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and West Virginia will feel pain the most. Call your senators. #VOTEBLUE2025 #wtpBLUE #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue

We already know how susceptible to being scammed the people who voted for this are. I hope they lose everything they've got.

Devastating

Destructive

There aren’t enough words to describe what is being done

CDC does research of deadly illnesses to find cures, prevention and treatment

This saves lives

Obliterating life saving agencies for oligarch’s pockets FOTUS orders!

We all need to take part in this action on February 28th. We, as a cohesive group, the American people, must show our distaste and disgust for the actions of our corporations and government. Please join us. #wtpBLUERESISTS #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue

Call your 2 Senators and 1 Congressperson every day. To make it super easy, I use 5calls.org which will provide the phone numbers you need PLUS a script for the most concerning issues each day.

Yesterday, Trump fired the NLRB's general counsel and its acting chair.
Now the agency tasked with defending the right of workers to unionize can't function because it lacks a quorum.
Guess who has been fighting in court to gut the agency altogether?
Amazon and SpaceX.
