It is important to remember, in all the changes that are happening, you still have some control and some say. Use it! We can easily feel defeated, say that repubs are in charge, SCOTUS is compromised, etc., but we can ORGANIZE. Call congress, governors, get active locally. It will help!!

The VA literally didn't have the space to bring everyone back to the office, full time. They would have needed to acquire more office space in nearly all locations. During the pandemic they hired a lot of people, and with everyone working from home they don't seem to have considered where we are now

Please call congress and tell them this cannot pass!

Posting this for anyone who wants to know about all the EO's and legislation. Since it is also a POTUS tracker, I wonder if we will be able to see all the days he spends on the golf course this time around?

What To Do If Youโ€™re Approached by Immigration Officials in New Jersey Remain calm. Do not run. If youโ€™re stopped by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), ask them โ€œAm I free to leave?โ€ If you are, calmly walk away. Ask agents to show you their badges. ICE agents

For my fellow NJ peeps. Attached is the ACLU guide for what to do if you are approached by ICE

I'd say very, very high. She is probably lower on his list than people like Liz Cheney though, so she may be safe for a short time

100% If Republicans had ANY kind of backbone, we would not be here now. It makes me so mad seeing McConnell saying things like Trump is bad for the country, when he opened the door and laid out the red carpet for that reprehensible felon

We have a long 4 years of fighting. I'm a social worker, so it is in my nature to fight for the _____ (fill in the blank: marginalized, oppressed, etc.)My main advocacy is in women's rights and in mental health rights

NJ Sues Trump Over Ending Birthright Citizenship State leaders say the president's executive order violates the constitutional rights of children born in the United States in a new lawsuit.

I am such a proud Jersey girl! In today's version of why I am proud, I present this: a lawsuit my state is taking against the fed gov't to protect our birthright citizens!

AI RECONSTRUCTS HITLER'S SPEECH TO ENGLISH (Extended)
YouTube video by History Unknown AI RECONSTRUCTS HITLER'S SPEECH TO ENGLISH (Extended)

I wonder what the similarities are in comparing Hitler's speeches to Trump's. Here's a linked speech of Hitler's, which has been translated to English in his own voice, using AI.

I would say every woman has either been assaulted or has held the hand/been a shoulder to cry on for another woman who has been assaulted.

Plan B! On sale at Costco. Please remember to buy some for any of the people in your life who may need it. Hopefully you won't need it, but you don't want to be stuck in a situation of needing it but not being able to access it

In all my life, I never thought I would have a felon as President. HE IS A FELON!!! He should be in jail! I hate that we got here. BUT! We got this! These next few years may be difficult, but there are helpers everywhere (like me!). We will get through this together ๐Ÿ’œ

This is long overdue! I hate that this is a last minute signing, allowing for the next administration lawsuits to quash it. I really want to be hopeful it will be kept as an actual amendment

Honestly for me, not enough. He currently has the gift of 'presidential immunity'. He should have done more to preserve our democracy

If this is true, it is awesome news! I don't have Spotify, so I can't cancel her. Anyone know if we can on iHeart? This is what us democrats need to do! The reverse of the Bud Light crap that the repubs pulled when they were SO OFFENDED over transgender people.

I haven't posted in a bit because I have just been a bit overwhelmed.I am so disappointed in the direction the country is going.Never in my life I thought we would be moving towards something other than democracy.I know I am strong and will get through these next few years but it is going to be hard

Does she realize she is "they" She is government. If there is cloud seeding or whatever bs she is spouting, she would know since congress controls spending!

I don't have a choice when a vocal minority voted in an oligarch loving narcissist to take over the country I live in. I can either stay and try to help those around me make it through the next 4 years, or I can move away. As of now, I prefer to stay and fight

Biden Signs Women's Suffrage National Monument Location Act โ€” Women's Suffrage National Monument Foundation

This is a nice gesture. But all it is is a gesture. How about getting the ERA amendment ratified? That would be worth celebrating

MAGA Congresswoman proposes Jan 6 be established as 'national holiday' On January 6, 2021, the United States Capitol Building in Washington, D.C., was attacked by a mob of supporters of then-president Donald Trump in an attempted self-coup d'รฉtat

This woman, as well as all of MAGA are destroying our democracy. Jan 6 was an embarrassment to our country, and all of the politicians who stand behind it, or at least remain silent are complicit and should be arrested on treason/sedition

Good morning โ˜€๏ธ

Ladies, we are STRONG.
Shift our rage into empowerment.
Use our voices and actions to uplift and unify women, especially those who donโ€™t agree with us.
Show, donโ€™t just tell, who we are. #WeTheWomen
Power used correctly = Positive energy and results.

This is what happens when government is actually trying to help it's people. It can still do much better, such as universal healthcare...

And here HE is again, dividing our country and making baseless claims. The NOLA driver was an American born citizen, in the military. Yet he claims it was a migrants who crossed the border. AND THE MEDIA REMAINS SILENT. OUR MEDIA IS BOUGHT AND PAID FOR!
