So many predicted close races, which is understandable. But turnout favored the anti-kings…. And blew the predictions up. 2026, and 2028….. stand back and stand by

Trump and his Mar-a-Lago β€œfriends” can party like it’s the Roaring Twenties while tens of millions of Americans face hunger from cut food assistance. But we remember what happened to that β€œimmune” bunch in 1929.

CNN says the Epstein & Trump-Epstein searches are down by 86% on Google. The conversation has shifted to Alaska & other topics just like Republicans wanted.
Keep Googling "Epstein & Epstein & Trumps name together". Change the narrative back. #Epstein #Trump #TrumpWasOnTheIsland

Sometimes you just have to stop agonizing over the state of the world and read an excellent book. Thank you, @mollyjongfast.bsky.social, for your honesty and gorgeous writing. Your words are more helpful than you’ll ever know.

β€œThis bill is one of the most reckless and cruel legislative efforts I’ve seen in my career and it’s Washington families who would pay the price.

This is a really important point. Most Medicaid recipients likely have NO idea that they’re about to lose their coverage.

The GOP bill will also give America’s Gestapo, ICE, a bigger budget than the US Marines. These are HORRIBLE people with very twisted, sick priorities.

Compare and contrast scenes from yesterday in America.

On the one hand, Trump's low-energy Dear Leader parade (that cost you $45 million).

On the other, millions of people across the country gathering peacefully to say:

Here, we have no kings.

Proud to be part of this community. Citizens from small Washington state cities of Edgewood, Milton and Fife showed up today to say β€œNo Kings.” Kudos to @indivisibleemf.bsky.social for a job well done.
