"THIS IS...PATRIOTISM" graphic.
Many Americans suspect our nation is on the verge of becoming a dictatorship — and across the land, we are coming together to defend our democracy.
In my hometown, more than a thousand of us rallied together for the second time this past Saturday. As I said to my neighbors, “This isn’t liberal versus conservative or Democrat versus Republican. (God-willing, a time for that healthy political discourse will come later.) This is more fundamental than that: It’s freedom versus autocracy. This isn’t America-bashing…it’s patriotism. People from across the political spectrum are waking up to our national emergency, and it’s time for blue and red to stand together for democracy. And that’s why I wear my purple shirt!”

Cory Booker just passed the 24 hour mark. He's been speaking for a full day straight. 20 more minutes to break Strom Thurmond's record.

I have a question: Why does an administration that is so concerned about antisemitism have a guy who did a Nazi salute on stage — twice — running the government?

Cory Booker on the Senate floor: “I rise with the intention of disrupting the normal business of the United States Senate for as long as I am physically able. Our constituents are asking us to acknowledge that this is a crisis. So I am going to stand here until I no longer can.”

There were four Republican-backed extreme constitutional amendments on the ballot in Louisiana yesterday.
The voters REJECTED them all (in a state Trump won by 22 points in November).
Keep the pressure on.

The 1% evade $163B in taxes per year.
Tesla paid $0 in federal income taxes from 2018 - 2022 & 2024.
Billionaires can write off the cost of their private jets and yachts.
While undocumented immigrants paid $96B in taxes in 2022.
The more you look into it, the crazier it gets.

The image is a screenshot of a post on X by a user named Mrs. Betty Bowers (@mrsbettybowers
.bsky.social). The post reads: "I learned this week that you can put our troops’ lives in danger, compromise our national security, and violate the Espionage Act. And the government will do nothing. But if you write an editorial for your school newspaper that Trump doesn’t like, you will be abducted on the street and disappear."
This is horrifyingly correct.

Wow. Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum officially recognizes Palestine as a state. Here she welcomes Palestinian ambassador Nadya Rasheed.
Sheinbaum is Jewish, supports Palestinian self-determination, & unapologetically condemns Netanyahu's attacks on Gaza.
Historic & inspiring leadership. ❤️✊🏽

Holy shit. Republican Harriet Hagemen got torn apart at a town hall in Wyoming last night. In a state that voted for Trump by 46 points.
She tried defending DOGE and it went as well as you’d imagine.
“Deport Elon, Deport Elon!”

🚨 NEW: VoteVets is launching a six-figure ad blitz across TV, streaming, digital, and billboards—exposing GOP Veterans dodging constituents while Musk’s DOGE fires thousands of Veterans.
They promised to fight for Veterans—now they’re silent. Stop Elon’s war on Veterans. Demand Congress act!

“It is the people who make constitutions work,” Commager wrote. “Where people are enlightened and alert, where they are inspired by faith in themselves and in democracy, where the spirit of liberty flourishes, constitutionalism will succeed.”
