Right 👇🏾👏🏾😊

We just want to remind you: You’re not alone. We’re all in this together, and we’ll get through it together. We’ve seen so many people sharing their feelings of anxiety and stress—please take a moment for yourself. Your well-being matters. Sending you hugs—you are amazing, and we love you all! 💚

The Holocaust did not begin with gas chambers and crematoria, it began with name-calling, taunting, spitting, pushing, shoving, and bullying… and it began with words, with hate speech.

Words were used to promote hatred.

It’s how it starts.

It’s happening now to many groups by trump and musk.

Not for nothing but everyone realizes that these teenagers and 20 somethings who have complete access to the Treasury payment source code are now #1 espionage recruitment targets for Russia and China, right?

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: He choked.

The market started to tank, and suddenly, he said, “Oh, didn’t you guys already have a plan to deal with the border back in December? I love that—I’ll take that.”

This is Mr. Art of the Deal.

It's not just about having a majority - it's about knowing how to use every procedural tool available. These tactics fundamentally changed how Congress operates. 🏛️

So, Democrats, why aren't you playing the same game? If you're not willing to fight fire with fire, how do you expect to win? 🔥

6️⃣ United Front Messaging
Leadership enforced strict party discipline. No breaking ranks, no compromise. Coordinated talking points amplified by friendly media created the appearance of organic opposition. 🔒
Why aren't Dems as disciplined in their messaging and strategy?

5️⃣The State-Level Squeeze
GOP state AGs would threaten lawsuits against bills before they even passed. Created uncertainty, scared moderate Dems, slowed everything down. Smart but cynical. ⚖️
Why aren't Dems using state-level legal challenges to block GOP policies?

4️⃣ Death By 1000 Amendments
Wait until a bill is ready for vote, then dump hundreds of amendments. Force Dems to either delay everything or look like they're "rushing." Classic delay tactic. 📝
Why aren't Dems flooding GOP bills with amendments to slow them down?

3️⃣ The Empty Chair Strategy
GOP would skip committee meetings to deny quorum. Can't vote without quorum! Imagine scheduling a meeting and your coworkers all "coincidentally" call in sick to block decisions. 🪑
Why aren't Dems using quorum denial to grind GOP agendas to a halt?

2️⃣ "Anonymous Holds" - The Silent Killer
Individual GOP senators placed unprecedented numbers of secret holds on Obama's nominees. Key positions sat empty for months or years. Imagine trying to run government agencies with no confirmed leaders. 🤐

1️⃣ The Senate Filibuster Game
Even with Dems having 60 seats (briefly), GOP senators required 60-vote thresholds for virtually everything. Basic legislation? Filibuster. Routine appointments? Filibuster. Morning coffee? You guessed it. 🚫

🧵 How Republicans obstructed Obama's agenda during 2009-2010, even as a minority party. The GOP playbook wasn't just about voting "no" - it was a coordinated strategy using every procedural tool available. Here's how they did it... and why aren't Dems doing the same? (1/8)

In the 20th century, they were known as "concentration camps." Now, they are simply called "housing."

Doesn't that sound so much more humane? Voila, problem solved!

HOLD UP.

Did Trump just say he will put tariffs on medications?

Americans already pay more for prescription medications than anywhere in the world - and he wants us to pay EVEN MORE?

Americans want cheaper drug prices. Trump is giving us higher taxes instead.

My statement on the FBI Purge that puts at risk the safety, well-being and national security of the American people.

they are stealing data from the american people and depriving us of the transparency that we are entitled to by law. none of this is legal and not a single federal employee has any reason to comply.

Regular checking up on @politifact.bsky.social might be an easy, helpful way to check the disinformation you're consuming day to day. e.g. a video purporting to show current traffic at the border was taken a month before Trump even took office www.politifact.com/immigration/

The New Oligarchs On the dangerous breed of ideologically-motivated billionaires who believe that democratic institutions have no purpose--and who are ready to use their wealth to advance their alternative visions

“The more accurate definition of oligarchy has less to do with the amount of money involved in influencing the political process and more with the distinction between money and power.”

We’re here to stay!

Republicans are relentless, aggressive, and unapologetic. Democrats need to stop worrying about decorum and start worrying about winning. Call out the lies, hypocrisy, and corruption with the same energy Republicans bring to their culture wars. Where are the REAL leaders in the Democratic Party?

Trump claimed the military "turned on the water" in CA. Reality? Pumps were offline for 3 days for maintenance. No soldiers. No faucets. Also, Pacific Northwest water doesn’t flow to the Central Valley. Facts are hard, huh? 🤔 #TrumpLies #CaliforniaWater #CallHimOutEveryTime #Resist

Yep, checks out #Resist

Here’s How Corporate Media Completely Surrendered To Donald This Week What an absolute mess

I’m still shocked to see how many people are only now discovering they’re being incessantly lied to about Trump. Which is why we keep analyzing the Press, and calling them out at a constant. Especially now, since they’ve bowed down to Donald.

Time to lace up the boots. We can not let this be our country.

the verbal and mental gymnastics people are falling all over themselves to excuse this as "an awkward" gesture show how they are sane-washing everything these people do! We can't stop pointing it out every time. This is not normal and we can't let it become normal.
