If fentanyl is a weapon of mass destruction then what is unleashing measles across vulnerable populations in the United States

Couldn't agree more. All of these proposals are constitutional, reasonable, and vital. (1/2)

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

-Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

According to a new study, members of Congressional leadership perform 47% better in stock market trades than their rank-and-file peers, thanks to access to nonpublic information.

Today would be a great day to ban ALL elected officials from trading stock, don't you think?

Want to make it clear that this case was 4-6 years in the making and heroes here are League of Women Voters and Mormon Women for Ethical Government. I hope national press gets this right. Voters approved an initiative in 2018 to create a districting commission. Fighting for implementation since

-A living wage
-Guaranteed healthcare
-The right to join a union
-The right to vote
-The right to choose when, how, and with whom you start a family
-The right for you and your family to live free from gun violence

These are the foundations of real freedom.

Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance

THIS x 1,000,000. Honestly I don’t know who this person is (this clip popped up on social media) but I would vote for them tomorrow.

The folks hollering about “family values” are out here tearing families apart with unlawful ICE raids, militarized police, & the weaponization of government.

All while ripping away food & healthcare from working-class families.

Are the family values in the room with us?

Senator Cory Booker, his voice still booming after more than a day spent on the Senate floor railing against the Trump administration, surpassed Strom Thurmond for the longest Senate speech on record, in an act of astonishing stamina that he framed as a call to action. nyti.ms/4iXMx8m

The fascism we are experiencing is an EMERGENCY. It needs to be responded to with lightening speed.

The courts are helping, but lightening speed is not their thing. They weren't designed for that.

So we all need to do more to respond. Get angry. Get organized. Get creative. Get vocal.

YouTube video by Jim Acosta Pentagon removes web references to Colin Powell and others as part of DEI purge. Have you no shame?

Pentagon has been ordering the removal of web site references to General Colin Powell and the Tuskegee Airmen and one of the flag-raisers at Iwo Jima as part of a crackdown on DEI. Have you no shame Pete Hegseth?(hat tip to Task and Purpose, WaPo for reporting) youtube.com/shorts/0HJpe...

Over 100,000 seats are up for grabs in 2025 — governors, mayors, city councils, state representatives, judges, school boards, and more.

Taking back our power starts now.

They want the unreviewable power to grab people and render them to a foreign gulag.

They started with the undocumented, then they went after visa holders and permanent residents, now it's naturalized citizens.

How many times must history rhyme and repeat before we realize what's going on?

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

The fight going on in the Democratic Party right now is not between hard left, left and moderate. It’s between those who want to fight and those who want to cave. And Team Fight stretches across all ideological aspects of the Party. Misread this at your own peril.

We Can’t Give In to Fear From Marc | No one wants to speak up. Everyone wants to hide or lay low.

It does not surprise me that people are worried. I expected many to be concerned. But I did not anticipate that so many leaders across industries and professions would allow fear to silence them. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/we-c...

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

Looking beautiful Time Square. 🇺🇦

What’s the opposite of a Nobel Peace Prize?

I think we have a winner.

Never forget this day, February 28, 2025, when an American president abused and betrayed a democratic ally in the midst of a barbaric war with Russia. This grotesque stain will never wash away.

Clearing the way to resettlement of Palestinians, so the Rivera of the Middle East can proceed?

US joins Russia to vote against UN resolution condemning Russia’s war against Ukraine | CNN Politics The United States joined Russia to vote against a UN General Assembly resolution condemning Russia’s war against Ukraine Monday in a stunning shift from years of US policy.

For the US to side with Russia and North Korea to oppose a UN resolution condemning the illegal invasion of Ukraine defies all common sense and adds insult to the countless injuries suffered by the brave Ukrainian people. edition.cnn.com/2025/02/24/p...

Zero interest rates let some people in Silicon Valley luck into riches without much breadth or depth of knowledge, but because they became rich, they convinced themselves they are geniuses, and that their genius extends to everything, and thus their opinions about everything are informed by genius.

Winner Take All Why the tech bros want authoritarian government.

“Because the key insight is this: The tech sector operates as a winner-take-all economy. But our political economy is based on perpetual competition.” @jvl.bsky.social

80 years ago today: Marines raise the flag on Iwo Jima.

We in the pro-democracy camp fight for the America that won World War II, and for the America that after the war worked to further advance the American idea. We know what side we would have been on 80 years ago, and what side we're on today.
