Science, education, and reading. These are good things. I support real equality and environmental sustainability, and I believe a woman's right to choose should never be taken away or restricted. (He/Him)
The descent into cruelty isn’t accidental. It’s cultivated. What began as Trump’s instinct has become MAGA’s culture, where dehumanization is a strategy and empathy is treated as weakness. That always carries a cost.

"dei medal" you might as well just put "n*gger medal" because that's what they mean to say
ICE stripped a German green card holder naked, drove him from Boston to Vermont to Rhode Island, put him in a cold shower, deprived him of medication, sleep and food until he collapsed.
No one knows why he was detained.
Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.
We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.
They own what happens next.
I am SO SICK of these cowards!
So many democrats have shown how weak they are, and how willing they are to let real people down by the thousands. These fights matter. I want you in leadership roles ASAP. We need to listen to women!
Cool so what happens if GOP attach a national abortion ban to a CR? You'll vote for that too?
🚮
KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN.
☎️: (202) 224-3121
Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid.
The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING.
Call retiring Senators too!
Appeasing authoritarians is certainly... uh... a choice. It's not a good choice. I'm starting to think you should really consider retirement, Mr. Schumer. Step aside for someone with some fire.
Character matters. Geographic point of origin not so much. If we deport anything, we should deport hate, not people.
TOMORROW- Friday, February 28th is BLACKOUT FRIDAY!
If you believe we are in danger of losing our Democracy forever, FIGHT BACK!
Let's make our voices heard in numbers too big to ignore.
JOIN US if you've had it with Comrade Krasnov. 🤬 🇷🇺
#24HourEconomicBlackout
Congress critters can't be trusted to own individual stocks. I don't care what "team" they play for. It encourages all the wrong things, and it does so right out in the open.
They were Sens. Maggie Hassan (N.H.), John Hickenlooper (Colo.) and Tim Kaine (Va.)
I love the excuses they give (although Kaine didn't even bother with an excuse). These people drive me insane. This is why we need more progressive voices in committee seats.
Our power lies in our unity. Those ppl are fighting back
Here are some other ways: HIT THEM WHERE THEY HURT👇
Gaetz is so disgusting that even hearing his name makes me want to vomit. I'm sick of these people getting no consequences for their horrible behavior and predation.
I feel like AOC and a handful of other sitting Democrats are actually fighting, the rest seem to be... I don't even know. Fundraising quietly? Shrugging? Getting on TV and looking utterly baffled? I want AOC and Crocket in charge of everything at this point.
You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.
A mirror big enough to expose the hypocrisy, hate, and division being sown by those at the highest levels of our government.
How many 5-alarm fires do we need to experience before we see some firefighters?
If you voted for Trump, you just voted to raise your taxes by 25%.
A tariff is a tax -- the cost gets passed along to YOU.
Yep, it does seem that way. And there are real people being hurt RIGHT NOW that aren't going to magically be un-hurt at some point down the road, even if the "guardrails" suddenly kick in. They need to obstruct everything the GOP does, loudly, and grind this fascism to a halt.
Secession time folks...
Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

I just assumed the Gulf of America, was the gap between the rich and the poor. 🤷🏻♂️
Having these goons in control of generative AI is such a nightmare. The goals they have are absolutely not beneficial to the public at large, regardless of how well the dress it up with soft, attractive language.
