It's a tough month fundraising-wise because a couple of Nevra's regular supporters are dealing with financial hardship. Chip in if you can!

Hi everyone, with your help I’ve stayed housed during and after my first surgery for endometriosis

I need $1,465.58 in donations to make my May rent β€” please donate, comment, repost: www.paypal.com/paypalme/Sav...

I’m still recovering and figuring out next care plan steps, symptoms very severe

I believe this is the first elected Dem member of congress in the country to make this call. We get the party we demand.

Live updates: Hundreds killed as Israel launches airstrikes across Gaza Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he ordered the strikes because of a lack of progress in talks to extend the ceasefire. Officials said the operation was open-ended and was expected to expand.

THEY BROKE THE CEASEFIRE. WHY IS THAT SO FUCKING HARD TO WRITE.

5 years. The only thing more traumatic than losing your life to a pandemic is being judged, mocked, & abandoned for it. If I look a little dead behind the eyes, that’s because I am πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up.

Tomorrow is the cloture vote.

KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️

Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill.

Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.

I love to call my Senators' offices three times per week and try to cajole them into doing the most elementary political messaging and strategy. This is what it means to be an engaged citizen: leaving a strenuously polite voicemail for a 74yo on a more regular cadence than I talk to my parents.

The White House, not even DHS, the White House itself apparently, is directly deciding which permanent residents should be detained and deported based on their political speech.

If this doesn’t scare you about the state of our democracy and liberties, I don’t know what will.

If you're wondering why you haven't seen more organized disruptive action from Democrats at the speech tonight, I've heard from multiple people on Capitol Hill that House Dem leadership actively organized against any strong actions tonight. They are leading, but in the wrong direction.

Took me a minute to figure out exactly what Al Green said during SOTU. Was happy to hear that he was specifically telling Trump he has no mandate to cut Medicaid <3 youtu.be/BfAUM3zyo5o?...

The image shows a person holding a protest sign that reads "FREE PALESTINE NOW" in bold letters. The text is integrated with an illustration of a red flower with a green stem, where the stem appears to be forming part of the lettering. The background features a large crowd of protesters waving Palestinian flags and holding similar signs, with a stage in the distance displaying a banner that also says "FREE PALESTINE." The setting appears to be an outdoor rally in an urban environment, with buildings and an American flag visible under a partly cloudy sky.
