Third time and I receive something new each time I read it.

None of these people are my reps, but I called them anyway to voice my disgust at their votes. Their behavior is not what we’re looking for from Dems. They should be fighting back like @algreen.house.gov not staying silent and hiding behind norms that no longer serve.

I haven’t been a political person. Almost 45 years, and this was my first protest. But the state of our country? I can’t stay quiet. Silence is where power thrives, and I refuse to sit back. I love this country and the freedoms we should ALL have as outlined in our Constitution.

10 cowardly Democratic members of Congress just voted to censure Congressman Al Green.

Jared Moskowitz
Marie Gluesenkamp Perez
Tom Suozzi
Marcy Kaptur
Jim Himes
Chrissy Houlahan
Ami Bera
Ed Case
Jim Costa
Laura Gillen

They should be ashamed.

It's OK if You're Not Ok. No One Who's Paying Attention Right Now, is. “How are you?” I asked my dear friend Julie, as she fell down into her chair across from me with a loud exhale.

No one is OK right now.

At least, no one with working empathy and a knowledge of History who’s paying attention.

It is an emotional impossibility to be living in days like one’s we’re in here and to be fully unaffected.

We just walked out of the state of the Union. My shirt showed Trump an important message: NO KINGS LIVE HERE.

In the spirit of student protestors from the Civil Rights Movement, I’m proud to have protested and walked out with many of my colleagues. This is NOT a normal time.

I’m still processing what we saw in the Oval Office and it’s difficult to put into words how disgusted and ashamed I am.

This was a coordinated assault on an ally to benefit a dictator and authoritarian regime. Trump and Vance aren’t just Putin’s puppets, they’re his assets.

To President Zelensky, From an Embarrassed American Dear President Zelensky,

Dear President Zelensky,

As it is likely that our paths will never cross in person, I could not let this day go by without trying to reach you here.

I come to you humbly as an American citizen who is thoroughly and completely embarrassed of our leaders.

We apologize to our Ukrainian supporters. We are embarrassed by how our president and vice president have behaved. We are fighting to redeem the soul of America. 🇺🇸

Tomorrow.
Only Buy Local.

federal employee says what

😂

Yet again, another Governor DeSantis press conference sucking up to Elon Musk, this time threatening to eliminate 740 state jobs and pursuing more politically motivated audits targeting our state university system.

My statement in response:

EXACTLY HOW IT'S DONE!!!

Show America where their money is REALLY going.

Damn, You Look Tired, America How this cruel Administration is intentionally aging us in dog years

I recently caught up with a friend who I hadn't seen in a few months.

"Damn, you look tired today" he said to me, with sincere concern. I told him that he was right, but assured him that this was not an isolated reality.

When my class was elected in 2010, we cut congress’ own budget and our personal ones by about 10 percent.

This one should cut theirs by about 20, and each office should lay off a couple employees.

Same DOGE is requiring.
