We need the best educated workforce in the world. We need the best teachers in the world. We need to pay our teachers fairly for the important work they do. No teacher in America should begin at less than $60,000 a year.

This is what a rigged economy looks like: In the 1970s, CEOs made 27 times more than the average worker. In the 1980s, CEOs made 48 times more than the average worker. This decade, CEOs are making 354 times more than the average worker. That has got to change.

Trump and Republicans are gearing up to eliminate Head Start programs, which provide vital childcare to nearly 1 million kids. SNAP, which helps feed nearly 14 million children, is also on the chopping block. And they wonder why more people aren’t having children. Hello?

The worst form of addiction that this country now faces is the greed of the oligarchy.

Al Gore launched an attack on the FOTUS regime, saying there were 'important lessons' to be learned from its similarities with the early rise of Nazi Germany. His #CupOfJoe overflowed with a need for action fro all of us. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

See the problem here?

🚨ECONOMIC BLACKOUTS! April 18, 19 & 20 Prepare to $upport Small Local Businesses-preferably Minority Owned Businesses Cash only! (to avoid support of credit card companies) History shows that Economic Blackouts work. Spread The Word! #MomSky

In today’s atmosphere, it’s obvious why a book warning of totalitarian censorship would be in the American Library Association’s list of most commonly challenged books

A staggering 70% of Congressional Republicans would personally benefit financially from the party's own tax plan. How will the tax cuts being pushed (that predominantly benefit the wealthy) be paid for? Drastic cuts to programs that help millions of people. Reverse Robinhood.

The fundamental choice has not been as stark since World War II: democracy and freedom, or dictatorship and tyranny. Trump and his sycophants are siding with the latter. The rest of us must loudly, proudly, and boldly proclaim our allegiance to the former.

Tax Day - round 3 - NIH 🩻🧠🧬 🧬 The average U.S. taxpayer contributes $105/year to NIH, helping fund: • Cancer & rare disease breakthroughs • Pandemic preparedness • Children’s health • Medical tech innovation • Mental health science & more NIH powers the science behind the healthcare we rely on.

DOGE has reportedly gained access to sensitive NLRB data — including info on union activity, workplace complaints, and names of organizers. Coincidentally, the NLRB has multiple lawsuits against SpaceX and Tesla. The conflicts of interest just keep getting more blatant.

When elders can't afford to pay their bills because their Social Security check got lost and they can't talk to a government worker because Donald Trump and Elon Musk decided to cut 7,000 jobs and sell off federal buildings, ask yourself - is this "efficiency"? www.wbur.org/news/2025/04...

This is extremely dangerous & irresponsible. Residents of the East End of Long Island, we are surrounded by harbors and the ocean. #ProudBlue #DemVoice1

The Supreme Court is no longer a brake on authoritarianism — it’s becoming an accomplice. Just like the courts in 1930s Germany, they’re paving the way for the destruction of democracy, one cynical ruling at a time. It’s both disgraceful and terrifying. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

He’s had a plan to accomplish all of the evil things he’s doing in front of our eyes and behind our backs for a very long time. Don’t give in & let Barbara Walters be right! Hands Off Our Medicaid #MomSky

Hands off our Medicaid! #MomSky

#ResistanceRoots Today in history, 1939: Marian Anderson performs for 75,000 people at the Lincoln Memorial. The DAR had refused to allow the renowned contralto to sing in Constitution Hall, so FDR and Eleanor Roosevelt helped arrange the concert on federal property. /1

Revisiting this post. Medicaid is public health, and it is also public safety. It provides critical services for victims of crimes such as domestic and sexual violence, and decimating it would be catastrophic for survivors. Hands off my Medicaid Hands off survivor services #MomSky

Is the current president a malevolent narcissist blatantly insider trading and manipulating the markets for personal and favor-granting gain? Yes. Is he a blithering, incompetent idiot? Also yes. And until GOP repubs care more about service than reelection, the crazy will go on.

Greetings all! Does anyone have any video of this white "rolling coal" truck while he was spinning his tires to create noise and smoke at the Staunton HandsOFF rally? Thanks again for attending and making your voice heard!

#ProudBlue #MomSky This former DOJ Employee testified today & discusses witness intimidation by the DOJ. They were sending armed guards to her house on Friday night to intimidate her. They were trying to stop her from testifying.

Today is Library Week and as a way of rising against book bans today is #RightToRead. Thank a librarian for their work, tell your congressmen to save the Institute of Museums and Library Service (MLS). #resist #libraries #BookBans @amlibraryassoc.bsky.social uniteagainstbookbans.org/right-to-rea...

We fight to give hope — a reminder that there are still those within the government standing up for what’s right. Since Saturday, we’ve faced relentless attacks. We know there will be consequences for our actions, but we will not back down.

West Coast numbers are coming in, and estimates have now surpassed 5 million. People are still pouring into the streets—nearly 2% of the American population is rising up. America, we are so proud of you. You did it.

Now THAT’S some #GoodTrouble. #HandsOff

We could not agree more today has given us new life and we will are so grateful!

Being able to heat your home in the winter is not a luxury. It is a matter of life and death. Trump and Musk’s decision to arbitrarily fire every worker in the office that helps working class and low income people heat their homes is outrageous.

1/ Trump has gutted the Admin. for Community Living (ACL), a lifeline for 2,500+ orgs. Its grants supported local Independent Living Centers, dev. disabilities councils, respite care & more—helping people with disabilities & older adults live independently. www.disabilityscoop.com/2025/04/03/h...

🌟 Deep Red Florida panhandle shows cracks - Escambia Co. flipped Blue by 3 pts in the CD special election. Trump won by 19 points in '24. The Repub mayor in the next door County voted for the Dem saying “It’s about making sure we have a functioning democracy.”
