One isn’t necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential. Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We cannot be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest.
-Maya Angelou 💜

If you paid $1 In federal income taxes, you paid more than:

Tesla in 2024 & 2022
AT&T in 2021
Nike in 2020
FedEx in 2020
Dish Network in 2020
Amazon in 2017-2018
Elon Musk in 2018
Jeff Bezos in 2007 & 2011
Carl Icahn in 2016-2017

Yes. It’s time to tax the rich.

No, Mr. Trump. We won't allow you to pay for tax breaks to billionaires by eliminating Head Start which provides early education to over 800,000 children and LIHEAP that keeps seniors and families warm in the winter.

Your budget proposal is morally obscene. It must be defeated.

In a competitive global economy, we need the best educated workforce in the world - doctors, nurses, dentists, plumbers, welders, electricians, etc.

Young people should not have to go deeply into debt to get the education they and our nation need.

We must make public colleges tuition free.

Today is a great day to support fearlessly independent Democracy Docket. With no corporate overlords,

It will never bow down.
It will never bend knee.
It will not obey!

WE ARE GETTING SCREWED.

Happy Friday. #UnionsForAll

1/2: We have reason to believe that events on 4/19 and/or the 50501 Movement may be misrepresented by the Trump admin in an attempt to justify the use of military force.

Let us be clear: our movement is pro-democracy and firmly grounded in non-violence.

My mom called Karoline Leavitt a CUNT yesterday.

But if we can raise $1500 by Sunday for Heidy's GoFundMe (below), my 88 year old mom promises she will come up with a really vulgar name.

Let's all chip in $10, $25, $50 or more to get my mom's mind going deeper into the vulgar zone.

Chip in now:

It doesn’t trickle down, but MAGA wins are a big boon for bad businesses — like the companies, across industries, that profit off mass criminalization, caging and spying

Springfield, IL Protest March 4/5/2025

Trump is trying to disappear your rights, but we’re still here—and we’re fighting back. #Handsoff

These are the signs of the times — as demonstrated in today’s Hands Off!

WE ARE THE OPPOSITION!!

The people are fed up.

"The problem?
Most boycotts fail because they aren’t organized.
• People forget after a week.
• No clear alternative to replace spending.
• No media attention = no external pressure.

To make a boycott work, we need to go from emotion to execution."

Want to help me continue passing out stickers at protests?

I want to keep them free, but need help covering costs. I print with a local, family owned business. Their pricing is the most affordable and I purchase in bulk :)

Visit the link in my bio to my venmo to help spread the word about 50501

Protesting against a tyrant is about the most American thing a person can do.

TODAY WE MOBILIZED OVER 3 MILLION PEOPLE ACROSS THE NATION!!!

This movement has entered the next chapter: the people will mobilize again, and again, until we make a difference.

It only takes 3.5% of the population in a sustained resistance in order to make a difference.
