They wanted silence
She gave them a movement!

When Rosa Parks refused to surrender her seat in Montgomery, she exposed the lie that injustice deserves patience!

Justice doesn’t wait!
Freedom doesn’t sit in the back!

Carry that courage forward✊🏽

On what would have been John Lewis’ 86th birthday, I am reminded of his perseverance, courage, and incredible sacrifices. His life and work inspire me — and so many others — to commit our lives to protecting the right to vote and continuing his march for justice.

It was an honor to receive an axe from St. Paul Professional Firefighters Local 21. I was surrounded by heroes who put their lives on the line everyday to help others. I’ll keep working to honor the memory of Mike Paidar and ensure our firefighters get the support they deserve.

Put aside the fact that non-citizens don’t vote in federal elections—the SAVE Act would require Americans to provide a passport, a REAL ID that explicitly indicates citizenship, a birth certificate, or military ID in order to register to vote.

52% of voters don’t have a valid passport. (1/2)

Public service announcement. If someone tells you that they are having a mental health crisis, do not say things like

-“Breathe”
-“You have so much to be grateful for”
-“Focus on the positive”

It’s extremely dismissive and does nothing to help the person having a crisis.

This is the Republican party in a nutshell—they don’t give a damn about children who were raped by wealthy pedophiles. All they care about is helping their Epstein class donors (many of whom are in the Epstein Files themselves) get richer.

True justice for Epstein survivors means more than just files—it means accountability for the powerful enablers still in the shadows. We must prioritize victim privacy over perpetrator secrecy. #JusticeForSurvivors

Places in South Carolina where Democrats won

Places in South Carolina where Democrats won

It took a little time to pull all this data together, but I think it was worth the wait!

Democrats won 245 races in South Carolina last month❕

They won in some of the reddest counties in the state.

They won because South Carolinians are tired of Republican nonsense.

LFG!

It is absolutely wild that the guy who won’t stop yelling about law and order is now personally stepping in to keep January 6 documents hidden from the police officers who were attacked that day. He knows exactly what’s in those files and he is terrified the country will see it.

"Lupita" is currently picking pomegranates in the Selma CA area working 8 hrs/day earning minimum wage. She shares, "I work for different companies and crops throughout the year. This affects me greatly as my salary varies greatly depending on the crop & type of work." #WeFeedYou

Thou shalt not support a man who bulldozes the White House to build himself a golden ballroom whilst the government is shut down because he doesn’t want the financial records tying him to Jeffrey Epstein to come out.

I waited to post this until I had permission from the writer. This is real and it's frightening. The blood running through the veins/arteries of the monsters in the R' party/Project 2025/Russell Vought has been replaced with cruelty and evil. 😡🤬😭

4.4 million veterans live in rural America, many of whom are older and rely on Medicaid. With Republicans slashing funding, struggling rural hospitals face even greater challenges, putting veterans' lives at risk. #TrumpsHealthCareShutdown

Trump’s masked gestapo just shoved a Common Defense member and Air Force veteran to the ground and arrested him for peacefully protesting in Illinois.

The lawlessness of this regime must end — and he must be released immediately!

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

I am a member of the largest anti-fa group in the US. I am a retired US Air Force veteran. The U.S.’s active duty and veterans have fought against this bullshit since, ‘Continental Army formed by the Second Continental Congress on June 14, 1775.’

Fight back! for the 1st Amendment.
