Chatham MA showing up! #NoKings

If you are one of the almost 100 Dems who voted to honor the guy who said the Civil Rights Act was a huge mistake,

don’t bother asking Black people to vote for you, donate to you or canvass for you next year.

Don’t bother.

Please.

And don’t be shocked if you get a primary opponent.

Ashli Babbitt was a grown ass adult who chose to break into an unauthorized area during an insurrection against the repeated warnings of law enforcement. She ignored those warnings and got killed through no one's fault but her own.

She was a traitor. She doesn't deserve full military honors.

Here is three straight minutes of Donald Trump saying things will be happening “in two weeks” (spoiler alert: none of them ever happened)

Every time I read “Vladimir STOP!” all I hear is “Piper Nooooo!”

Still watching @booker.senate.gov on CSPAN. Take a moment to watch him speaking between 9-9:30 this morning. Absolutely spot on

Thank you @booker.senate.gov

Sending up gratitude for the judges AND, more importantly, the lawyers who are willing to fight for the rule of law.

What can we do to help you?

Threatening to impeach judges who check your power is proof you need judges checking your power.

Great News For Us, Awful News for Trump Onward.

AOC slammed Mike Johnson, saying: “You run the government. If you have the votes, then go ahead. If you need Democrats, then you need to negotiate with Democrats. Those are your two options. Blaming someone else because your shoes are untied isn’t one.”

This is Winston Churchill visiting Washington DC to request assistance in the war against Germany. Notice he is wearing a "zip suit" and not a traditional suit. This was to honor the British troops--the same reason Zelensky dresses the way he does.

If Russia stops fighting, there will be no war; if Ukraine stops fighting, there will be no Ukraine.

Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦

While I am stewing about what happened to Zelensky, I can easily fill out this Heritage Foundation form to fuck up their day…

You can too.

Here’s what I need from Democrats; get in the fucking way. Stand in front of those who will hurt others. We can say “constitutional crisis” all day long, but you have to get in front of them.

Refuse to budge. Don’t back down.

"Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed”

Do not consent — Take Back Your Power

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare.

Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.”

We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽

With Sweeping Executive Orders, Trump Tests Local Control of Schools The orders seek to encourage “patriotic education” and restrict discussions about racism and gender by threatening to withdraw federal funding. But schools are often resistant to change.

The government has no right to decide what name or nickname your child goes by in class.

The government has no right to pick out what clothes your child wears to school.

This is not just an attack on trans children. It's an attack on personal choice.

We passed a law. They don’t get to force people to petition the king for mercy. We are still a democracy and this will be found illegal.

I know she's eventually going to break my heart again, but I'll thank her for doing the right thing today.

Judge Coughenour "I've been on the bench for over four decades. I can’t remember another case where the question presented is as clear as this one. This is a blatantly unconstitutional order."

Thank you for the reminder @oliviajulianna.bsky.social!
Keep 'em coming
