"We should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low wage job. Rather than stand idly by while our constitutional freedoms are lost, I dissent." —Justice Sonia Sotomayor

Why your groceries cost 8% more 🛒📈 It’s not just tariffs. Trump’s war on workers gutted our economy:

• 155k farm workers gone
• Fresh veggies up 8%
• Restaurants up 5.3%
• 1.2M workers vanished
• Housing permits crashing

Your receipts don’t lie, even if he does.

SHAMELESS: Donald Trump is slapping his name on infrastructure projects across the U.S. funded by President Biden’s historic 2021 infrastructure law that Trump opposed and tried to derail. (NYT)

CHICAGO!!!!

Hi. I’m the executive director of the organization that had the honor of hosting the FEMA Katrina Declaration and I can confirm this is a lie.

NICE TRY, KRISTI!

NPR: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth reposts video of pastors saying women shouldn't vote

You know how people called women hysterical for predicting the right wing would take down Roe v. Wade (which they've done) and then attack access to birth control (which they're doing)?

Hear me when I say that women's very right to vote is next.

We’ll be paying the price for that for a long time.” Next to the text is a stylized portrait of Marshall, wearing glasses, with a gray beard and a pensive expression.

Around 600 in Ashland, OR (pop. 20,000)

Great turnout in Ashland, OR today! We’re guessing about 600 showed up in a town of 20,000. I haven’t seen any official estimates yet.

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

This. Write your name in the history books on the right side of the ledger.

So, if I understand correctly, the President of the United States is saying that the Supreme Court of the United States consists of nine “sick people,” including three whom he appointed.

Allison Riggs: 'This is a fight for the very soul of democracy' Read more here.

“This does not just affect North Carolina,” Riggs said. “This is like dropping a match in a really dry forest. And if we let this kind of anti-democratic effort take hold, we will not be able to contain it. So this is a fight for the very soul of democracy. Today’s decision was deeply misinformed.”

Thank you, Senator Cory Booker! #Resist

Ummmm

SEIU is standing up for their members big time.

Following ICE’s snatching of an @SEIU worker, they’re not f*cking around.

It would be a shame if everyone shared this and embarrassed ICE. #4The1st

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

People have been screaming for action from Dems for over 2 months

Recognize when Dems stand up & push back.

You may want more, but it won’t come if you scorn any & all action.

Offer some kind of public “payoff,” & more people will stand up.

Don’t fall into yet another Democratic purity test.

Share share share share share! And VOTE Wisconsin and Florida!
