Thank you, Senator Cory Booker! #Resist

Sen. Booker just broke the record for the longest floor speech in Senate history—a record set by Strom Thurmond trying to block the Civil Rights Act. The irony ain’t lost on us. From fighting against justice to fighting for it. This is what courage & being on the right side of history looks like!

What’s most clear to me tonight is that this is just the beginning, that Americans across this country, no matter their title or party, are ready to be heard.

I believe that history will show we rose to meet this moment.

We’re proud to celebrate Judge @crawfordforwi.bsky.social’s victory and her ascension to the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Wisconsinites sent a clear message: it’s the people—not billionaires—who decide our elections.

why are y’all rooting for gentle parenting to fail so much? let’s talk about that.

Medicare for All isn't radical.

What's radical is that we are the only major country not to guarantee health care as a human right. Every other major country figured out years ago how to provide health care to all at a much lower cost.

Please don't tell me we can't do the same.

This is blood-boiling. Charles Rogers was awarded the Medal of Honor in Vietnam after being wounded three times leading the defense of a position.

Google his name and the entry below comes up. When you click, you'll see the page has been deleted and the URL changed to include "DEI medal."

the patience & self-love required to allow locs to grow out at their own pace without putting extensions in or a protective style over is the real test.

this business shift is absolutely in the right direction. this feels good. it might take a while, but this is definitely my path.

I wish more people knew about the 1920s Klan because they—perhaps more than European fascists—are the model for Trumpism.

This is a good summary and a nice reminder that they do a lot of damage, but in the end, fascists always lose.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS IN CASE OF ICE: CONOCE TUS DERECHOS EN CASO DE ENCUENTRO CON ICE:

DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR. ICE cannot enter your home without a warrant signed by a judge. Tell the agents to show you the warrant by sliding it under the door. NO ABRAS TU PUERTA. ICE no puede entrar a tu casa sin una orden firmada por un juez. Diles a los agentes que te muestren la orden deslizándola debajo de la puerta.

ASK THEM TO LEAVE. If ICE doesn't have a warrant, tell them you do not consent for them to enter your home and ask them to leave. At work, ICE cannot enter employee-only areas without permission. 2 PÍDALES QUE SE VAYAN. Si ICE no tiene una orden judicial, diles que no das tu consentimiento para que entren a tu casa y pídeles que se vayan. En el trabajo, ICE no puede ingresar a áreas exclusivas para empleados sin permiso.

REMAIN SILENT. You have the right to remain silent. If the agents ask you questions, tell them, "I wish to remain silent." PERMANECE EN SILENCIO. Tienes derecho a permanecer en silencio. Si los agentes te hacen preguntas, diles: "Deseo permanecer en silencio".

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

Look at the faces of those fascists — completely covered.

Our faces are the only ones identifiable in the video.

Rock their shit, and don't give them anything for retaliation.

Just realized someone should probably say this. . .

Black people:

When we do this?
Do not put your face (and faces of your community members) in the video.

And you got one of our faces in the video by accident? Blur it out before you post the video online.

And be EXTRA CAREFUL when going live.

Russell Vought, Trump's Office of Management and Budget nominee, has made it his life’s mission to destroy programs and benefits that American families use every day. His fingerprints are all over last week’s OMB disaster.

There is still time for the Senate to vote against him. Call your Senators.
