Shooting at Evergreen High School in Colorado leaves several students hurt; suspect among those injured Three students were critically wounded on Wednesday in a shooting at Evergreen High School in the Colorado foothills. The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office says one of those students is the shooting s...

Students were eating lunch when they heard the gunshots. It’s yet another horrific school shooting, and every time my heart breaks for the kids, parents, and communities shattered by gun violence.

We can’t stop demanding change. Congress can and must pass gun safety legislation.

“No right is safe in the new legal regime the Court creates.” –Justice Sonia Sotomayor.

One of the most chilling sentences I have ever read.

Yes. Portland, Oregon. 😀

Portland OR Hands Off Rally

Oh wow: Portland Oregon is NOT KIDDING
#handsoff

Portland was out in full force today! No idea what the number was but wall to wall people as far as I could see. It gave me hope that I haven’t had in a while.

Thank you @booker.senate.gov Democratic Senators need to make a schedule and take shifts to keep this going. This is the kind of energy we need!

Thank you @booker.senate.gov for standing up (literally) for our democracy!

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Reporter: What do you need to buy Gaza?

Trump: "We're not going to buy anything. We're going to have it. We're going to keep it... and nobody's going to question it."

For the love of all that is good in this world do NOT buy books from Amazon. Cancel your Amazon accounts.
Go to the Library (in person or online ebooks!) and support local bookstores instead. Please #BookSky don’t be ambivalent

A screenshot of an email sent to Federally Qualified Health Centers demanding that they comply with Trump’s discriminatory Executive Orders against DEI and trans people or put their funding at risk.

Donald Trump is threatening to take away necessary funding from Oregon health centers because they provide comprehensive care for all of their patients.

It’s heartless and dangerous for Trump to prevent Oregonians from accessing the medical treatment they need.

Dystopian lit used to be my favorite. Now that I’m living in it, I’m no longer a fan. I’ve had to seriously consider which character I want to emulate IRL.

Dystopian literature used to be my favorite. I never thought I’d be living it!

Where we spend our money matters! I’m using this app to help me make decisions about where I shop. It’s shows political donations by company. I hope they expand to show things like keeping/reversing DEI programs. If anyone has a good list for those, I’d love to see it

THE ASK This week, between Monday and the vote on Vought, we're asking people from all over the country to plan a visit to Senate State Offices to demand Democrats fight and to hold Republicans accountable for their complicity. DEMOCRATS MUST USE EVERY PROCEDURAL TOOL TO SHUT DOWN TRUMP'S AGENDA Yes, we need Democrats to vote no on Vought's nomination, but no is not enough. Democrats have the power to grind Senate business to a halt and force Republicans to feel the political cost of backing Trump's extremist agenda. Here's how: 1. Deny a Quorum: If Republicans don't have 51 votes in the chamber, Democrats can walk out and shut down Senate business entirely. 2. Block Unanimous Consent: Object to every procedural shortcut, forcing Republicans to take the longest possible route for every step of the confirmation process. 3. Max Out Debate Time: Use all 30 hours of debate on Vought to expose Project 2025, Musk's Treasury takeover, and the funding freeze. 4. Delay and Disrupt: Force roll-call votes, quorum calls, and procedural delays to slow everything down. 5. Blanket Opposition: Democrats cannot continue to vote for Trump's other nominees, helping to install more MAGA loyalists into powerful positions in the federal government while this power grab continues. No Business as Usual: This is a constitutional crisis. Democrats must abandon the old rules and fight with everything they have. Bottom line: Senate Democrats must block, delay, and obstruct every step of this process-no cooperation, no easy votes, no fast-tracking Trump's takeover. To learn more about how Senate Democrats can shut down Trump's agenda with procedural hardball, check out our explainer here.

Indivisible is urging people to visit their senators' local offices between now and Thursday to demand that they use every tool—including denying a quorum and blocking unanimous consent—to fight the confirmation of Project 2025 architect Russell Vought for head of OMB docs.google.com/document/d/1...

If you take down a Confederate memorial that was literally dedicated to promote white supremacy, that’s “erasing history.”

But if you hide pictures of accomplished women, that’s just fighting wokeness.

Please, everyone, drop what you’re doing and read this:

Here's the speech if you haven't heard it. 13 minutes of your time. Share it with your American friends and neighbours, because they won't see it otherwise. Circulate it in Mexico and Denmark, France and the UK, Panama and Germany, Poland and Estonia, and especially -- especially -- Ukraine.

Piglet, it’s only day 3 of the Trump term…😩

My daughter was born on Obama’s first full day in office 16 years ago. We were so filled with hope then. Today, on T’s (second) first full day in office, I got her a car. We are all disappointed today.

Today and in the coming days, remember

Forever and always!
