If my taxes don’t pave my roads or fix my bridges or keep my schools open 5 days a week or pay local teachers a living wage or help keep my hospital open or help my neighbor’s kid eat lunch or fund public television or my healthcare…

Why the f’ck should I pay taxes?

Vice President Harris and Douglas Emhoff watch fireworks at the White House on July 4, 2024.

This Fourth of July, I am taking a moment to reflect. Things are hard right now. They are probably going to get worse before they get better.

But I love our country — and when you love something, you fight for it. Together, we will continue to fight for the ideals of our nation.

America the beautiful, America the deeply fucked up here’s to you on this 4th of July

The orange felon and MAGA make me ashamed to be an American but I’m proud AF to be a Californian.

Expose the lies…

REUTERS: Trump falsely claimed a photo showed evidence of mass killings of white South African farmers being buried—but it was actually a screenshot from a Reuters video on February 3 in Congo, showing victims of conflict with Rwanda-backed M23 rebels.

Me too!

If only Christian charity were as easy as accessorizing.

For f*ck’s sake, I can’t believe I have to do this again!!
Ok, this time louder, for those on the back:
Hands off education!
No cuts to schools!
Free public education for everyone
Liberty and justice for all
Public education is a cornerstone of democracy

Yup. That’s the one.

Linda McMahon, Secretary of Education, sent Harvard a letter.

They graded it.

Bwahahaha.

Yep … did a few years ago when I saw they hired the Pinkerton Detective Agency ( yes, THE Pinkertons of The Homestead Mill Strike fame) for union busting in Alabama..

Thank you Senator Booker for your powerful leadership and courage! I am grateful to be fighting this fight with you !

Cory Booker's epic speech beat SC Sen. Strom Thurmond's, 1957 24 hours and 18 minutes speech against Civil Rights Act of 1957. Booker nodded Thurmond as a motivator. April 1, 2025 "To hate him is wrong, and maybe my ego got too caught up that if I stood here, maybe, maybe, just maybe, I could break this record of the man who tried to stop the rights upon which I stand. I'm not here though because of his speech. I'm here despite his speech. I'm here because as powerful as he was, the people were more powerful."

We need a Booker not a Schumer 🔥🔥

GOP pollster Frank Lutz, “I want to emphasize what Cory Booker did over the last 24 hours may have changed the course of political history. I watched a lot of it. I listened to words.  I listened to phrases.”

Fourteen hours later, he's still going.

Thank you, @booker.senate.gov, for using your voice to alert people to Trump and Musk's wrecking ball to Social Security and other vital services Americans rely on.

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.

That’s a damn good question.

📌Our Park Service Rangers have flagged the warning on El Capitan.
We are under threat by an America-attacking felon.

Every. Single. Word. Of. This.

I couldn't be prouder of my fellow Floridian
@maxwellfrost.bsky.social and the new generation of Dems fighting fire with fire.

More of this, please!

👋🏽 here’s what @thedemocraticparty.bsky.social did today!

Jasmine is on FIRE 🔥 🔥🔥
