#Resist - Refugee from Twitter. Love the mountains of Western North Carolina. It is peaceful here when we are not having hurricanes and floods. I enjoy resisting, gardening, reading, cooking, the theater, nature, the outdoors. #SaveDemocracy

We just wanted to say thank you to everyone! ICE agents keep lying under oath, and you’re the reason the truth is coming out.

Your videos and documentation have been crucial in revealing the truth behind those claims.

Trump’s masked gestapo just shoved a Common Defense member and Air Force veteran to the ground and arrested him for peacefully protesting in Illinois.

The lawlessness of this regime must end β€” and he must be released immediately!

It’s painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson’s covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking ring.

Hey GOP: Bring back the House, cancel your health care cuts, reopen the government and release the files.

One of my β€œprogressive” opponents took thousands of dollars from a gas executive. Call me crazy, but so-called β€œprogressives” shouldn’t be taking money from the fossil fuel industry.

That’s why I’m not taking any money from fossil fuel executives, and asking my opponents to make the same pledge.

Himes: If you've got the capability to blow a boat out of the water, you've got the capability to interdict it, arrest everyone on board, interrogate them, and find out where it was going, where it came from, who the bosses are, and what the distribution networks look like.

It costs ~$70 to produce a year’s supply of insulin.

Yet, the average annual cost of insulin went from $2,864 in 2012 to $5,705 in 2016 to $18,000 in 2025. A 25,714% markup. That isn’t inflation or supply chainβ€”It’s corporate greed.

Nowβ€”California will sell insulin for $11. Make this nationwide!
