The energy at the march was amazing. We need to keep organizing and mobilizing against the regime! 🫢

AOC: What they like to call as radical, I believe is common sense.

I believe that when a person gets sick, they shouldn’t go bankrupt in the wealthiest country in the history of the world. Common sense

I believe that a minimum wage should cover the minimum cost to live. Common sense...

No matter how many EOs Trump signs, they do not become law. Only Congress can pass laws.

The ADA is law.

This matters to EVERYONE. If you don’t need it now, wait.

The opposite of fascism Living well and fighting back in a time of terrors

"Having, and nurturing, a sphere for joy and connection and community and love and food and music and human difference … is everything they are not and everything they are trying to take away. They are waging a war on living. The more fully you live, the harder their job will be."

Trump moves to gut several agencies, targeting Voice of America, libraries The president signed an executive order that repeals several Biden-era labor and environmental policies, and another that severely cuts various independent agencies.

Good rule of thumb for determining who are the good guys and who are the bad guys is β€œwhich side is eliminating libraries” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up.

Tomorrow is the cloture vote.

KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️

Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill.

Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.

Here’s How Many Employees Each National Park Is Losing A nonprofit is tallying up how many NPS employees have been let go from each park. A key asset has been social media posts from terminated employees.

The attacks on the rights and livelihoods of trans people should be more than enough to act and fight back publicly, but listen: even aside from that, we will all suffer if Dems don't fight back and allow the GOP to continue attacking and fully occupying the national discourse.

When asked about taking in Palestinian refugees, Trump said it's a "very far distance for them to travel." (roughly 6K km to DC)

Meanwhile, Trump on Friday said he will prioritize resettlement of white South Africans who want to come to the US. (roughly 13K km)

I’ll be going with a group to Moreno’s office. Probably won’t see him, but we’re keeping up the pressure.

Texas v Becerra! 17 Red states are suing the government to get rid of students’ 504s! They do not want to be held accountable for ensuring accommodations for disabled kids? WTH?

Since we beat them for the Webby in 2019, the @nytimes.com has wanted to be cool so badly that they’re now falsely referring to themselves as INDEPENDENT. Independent from what? Reality?

Tesla Paid Zero Federal Income Tax in 2024, Despite $2.3 Billion in Income This brings Tesla’s average tax rate over the past three years to 0.4 percent.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024.

You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right?

Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.

You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

Elon Musk was not elected to hold Office

Opinion | A new era of government censorship has dawned Donald Trump fancies himself a champion of free speech. Oh, really?

A new era of government censorship has begun.
It started with the silencing of scientific speech, when the admin blocked release of research on bird flu. But MAGA has also cracked down on other wrongthinkβ€”on race, geography (!), and of course Trump himself

When you solve for the wrong problem, not only do you not get the solution, you can cause harm. The President wasted water that was being saved for farmers for a PR stunt.

This was harmful, ludicrous, and solved nothing.

LGBTQIA minors make up 40% of the endangered minor runaway population. They are 120% more likely to be unhoused. They are also uniquely at risk for exploitation and trafficking.

This is breathtakingly evil.
