Sending strength to Representative Hakeem Jeffries of New York. Keep speaking the galaxy is watching!

Thank you for helping us save democracy!!

Keep going!!

Democracies use government as an instrument for the common good. Using a tax bill to destroy and deny health care for 17 million of our people is a sign of authoritarianism.

Birthright Citizenship

Bravery is wheelchair users putting their bodies on the line to stop Medicaid cuts.

Shame is arresting them instead of listening.

Medicaid is a lifeline — not a line item.

Seriously! Republicans did this! We won’t get over losing Medicaid!

How Black Lung Came Roaring Back to Coal Country

We’re grateful @nytimes.com published this powerful article on black lung—covering its resurgence in Appalachia, the crucial work NIOSH has done to reduce its impact on coal miners, and the reckless decisions by this admin that cut health protections for miners.

President

In America, we have no Kings, no Queens, no nobles, no dictators, and no emperors. We have no slaves, no serfs and no subjects.

Just us—‘We the People.’

Happy Present Obama appreciation day!

Booker: He was made to kneel before the authority of the executive… They treated a member of the United States senate violently after he identified himself, dragged him out of a room, threw him upon the ground, and put him in handcuffs

Don't let them lie to you about Senator Padilla. DHS is claiming the agents DID NOT KNOW he was a senator. He CLEARLY says (BEFORE he is tackled and cuffed) "I am Senator Alex Padilla and I have a question for the secretary."

We’re deeply disappointed in much of the U.S. media. Grateful, however, to international journalists who are telling the truth.

With the Supreme Court now handing DOGE access to Social Security data, it’s becoming undeniable, the Trump administration is building the “deep state” themselves. Don’t get distracted by the noise.

Happy Pride Month! 🏳️‍🌈

Happy Anniversary!

This sums it up.

Things the president of the United States said on meet the press today:

He doesn’t know if he has to follow the constitution

He’s fine with a recession

Americans can do with less

Small businesses are just “a couple of little businesses”

ONE IF BY LAND

TWO IF BY D.C.

Happy Caturday!

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act.

Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes?
Staffer: a DL and birth certificate.
Me: The documents don’t match
Staffer: Then a marriage certificate.
Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too?
Staffer: No
Me: See the problem?

I hope everyone realizes that scrubbing historical references from web sites is no different than burning books
