Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Born in 1975, I represent the one generation of women who had rights. I’m fighting for my daughters and granddaughters. Fuck this shit.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

When you say something 100% true that people don’t want to hear, because it makes them feel ashamed for the evil things they have done and will continue to do, instead of changing their mind they just get really, really angry at you for saying the truth. This is why everything is so fucked up.

When the government tells you that transparency is a hostile and political act … The truth is dangerous - for the president.

Despite knowing the people on the search warrant weren't there, the ICE arrest team STILL took this family's phones, laptops, and life savings — and refused to leave a BUSINESS CARD so they could ask to get it back! This stuff is sadly not unique to ICE; it happens with regular police raids too.

Cory Booker accomplished something amazing yesterday, and made history. So why is it not being mentioned today?

They're eating your Medicare. They're eating your Social Security. They're eating the funds of the people who paid into them.

It’s amazing to find out at this late date how much the rule of law depended on people simply deciding, on a voluntary, daily basis, not to break the law.

We are working on launching an ALT DOGE website. It will soon feature a team page listing all of Elon’s staffers, our own wall of receipts (tracking the money he’s taking from America), and a section to help Americans keep tabs on the false claims on Doge’s website—which now exceed 52%.

Officials at the FAA have directed staff to identify tens of millions of dollars to fund a Starlink deal for upgrading air traffic control communications. Staff has been instructed to find the funds while minimizing documentation and avoiding a paper trail.

The way Elon went from “I won’t be endorsing anyone for president” to “look at me, LOOK at me, I’m the president now”…

Imagine being a "president" of the United States and pardoning the criminal insurrectionists who tried to overturn democracy, threatened to hang a VP, assaulted police officers with flagpoles and other weapons for 5 hours, and shat on the floors of the U.S. Capitol like animals.

Guys we can be worried about what's coming and the worst case possibilities without giving into things like "welp...I guess democracy is over" takes. My God...I've never seen so many people willing to just give up and declare surrender and the guy hasn't even been sworn in yet.
