PERSIST.

Tonight on Wait a Damn Minute…
@moniquepressley.bsky.social steps in for Katie, and she’s bringing facts!

Jobs down.
Costs up.
And the White House is building a $200 million ballroom...
While the rest of us are dancing with debt and job loss.

Watch. Share. Spread truth further than their lies.

YouTube video by PERSIST. Good Trouble Lives On hosted by The Persist. Network, Mom’s Rising and West Coast Women Forward

Hundreds gathered to honor John Lewis, spark joy, and fuel action. From breathwork to bold speakers, GOOD TROUBLE PERSISTs brought the fire.

Tonight on Wait a Damn Minute,
@elizaorlins.bsky.social steps in for @katiephang.bsky.social to do what the White House won’t: tell the truth.

Karoline Leavitt wants you to believe Trump’s a peacemaker.

He’s not ending conflict: he stokes them.

He’s not a humanitarian: he’s a failed dictator.

They’re not just redrawing districts. They’re rigging democracy.

Texas proposed a map that could wipe out 5 Democratic seats— and they’re not stopping there. Gerrymandering is the biggest threat to our democracy. And, if we don’t fight back now, we forfeit fair elections. @katiephang.bsky.social

Kamala Harris’ 107-day campaign reignited our fight. Now, we PERSIST.

We’ll keep doing the work—guided by her example and ready for whatever comes next. #WePersist #ThankYouMadamVicePresident

Trump’s not just golfing in Scotland, he’s intentionally bulldozing democracy. His Fed stunt wasn’t “official.” It was a power grab full of lies, intimidation, and ego.

Wait A Damn Minute!

This is authoritarianism on full blast.

Watch. Share. Spread facts over the fiction. #WePersist #WADM

Trump says South Park can’t derail his hot streak. But wait a damn minute…what hot streak?

His approval fell to 37%.
He’s bullies everyone from the Fed to late-night TV hosts.

If you want the Epstein files released: Share this. Spread truth further than their lies.

Trump pushed new lies about 2016 today. But wait a damn minute — what was he really hiding?
That he’s known since May he’s named in the Epstein files.
More than once.
This wasn’t spin — it was a full-blown cover-up.
From the Oval Office.

I can’t believe he’s still talking about tariffs as though they’re paid by the other country!! 🙄

Right?! This is why #WePersist

Trump said tariffs brought in $100B. But wait a damn minute! We the people paid for that. Not China! Oh, and where are those Epstein files he promised?

Another con, another distraction. Listen as @katiephang.bsky.social breaks it down.
