Adding ❌👑 to your handle is a simple fun free little way to promote No Kings Day in the lead up to what is shaping up to be largest pro-democracy protest of the year (so far). I don't want to blow this out of proportion, but it might literally save our republic. nokings.org

This is the best team crossover video I've ever seen.

We've got the PERFECT birthday gift for Donald Trump: A nationwide day of defiance. Trump is planning a military parade in DC, so we're taking to the streets everywhere else on June 14 to say No Kings. social.demcast.com/s/5Om9aqoE

Guys, it's the oligarchs. If you want to blame someone for 2024, blame the oligarchs. Anyone telling you to blame someone else is part of the oligarchy. Dark money has been to blame since citizens united.

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

Musk has stepped out of the limelight, but DOGE is still gutting countless government programs and services that millions of Americans rely on. Here are seven ways that DOGE is ruining your life.

While President Trump further ramps up attacks on Harvard, Trump & Congressional Republicans are planning to gut federal support for community colleges across the US, which serve mostly working class & low-income students & families. Fr/ @cwbeacon.bsky.social commonwealthbeacon.org/opinion/trum...

Hope anyone in need or homeless sees this

I started the course on Civic Engagement in U.S. Constitutional Democracy with Prof. Danielle Allen today. It looks great and I think I will learn a lot! #Democracy

If there’s money for a parade, there’s money for Medicaid.

Great interview by Scott Galloway of Timothy Snyder. 2 days ago

Well payed, Harvard, well played. Harvard offers FREE American Government course.

41% of babies’ births are covered by Medicaid. 49% of children are covered by Medicaid or CHIP. 62% of long-term care residents in nursing homes are covered by Medicaid. 35% of people with disabilities are covered by Medicaid. HANDS OFF MEDICAID.

While they distract us......😠

This is what an authoritarian regime would do. Hidden deep in Trump’s 1,100-page bill that passed the House today is a provision that would block federal courts from enforcing contempt charges against government officials who violate court orders.

JOINT DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP STATEMENT ON PASSAGE OF THE GOP TAX SCAM Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Whip Katherine Clark and Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar just released the following statement:

Note the the Big, Ugly Bill blew up the deficit so badly it triggered over $500 billion in automatic cuts to MEDICARE! So now it’s not just MEDICAID but MEDICARE that’s on the chopping block!!!! TAKE ALL THE REPUBLICAN SEATS IN THE HOUSE!!! #Project2026

Boyle: We just verified with the congressional budget office and of 13.7 million Americans who will lose their health care because of their bill, exactly zero are undocumented immigrants

Our democracy is strongest when we trust in our systems and vote. When pundits sow mistrust, ask why! Who benefits from questioning election outcomes? The winners, or the losers? When truth tellers vote, democracy wins. #TruthBrigade truthbrigade.indivisible.org/s/KnoXjxW3

After an all-night debate, House Republicans just passed a bill that: ❌ Slashes food assistance and SNAP ❌ Guts health care and Medicaid for working families 💰 And still adds over $5 trillion to the national debt?

Most parents value a good education. Yet The White House calls science, history & critical thinking ‘radical’ while pushing to control curriculum. Who benefits from an uneducated public? Lies don’t justify taking learning away from our children. #TruthBrigade truthbrigade.indivisible.org/s/agWpwrZE

WATCH Jasmine Crockett call out all the lies of the billionaire bailout bill! #StopTheBillionaireBailout #DemsConnect #DemVoice1

Frost: Tonight the people stealing are not folks with tattoos and hoodies but people wearing suits and ties and congressional pins sitting in the capitol now, not in some alley wrapped in darkness but the United States congress wrapped in the flag. It is disgusting and we will never forget this.

House Republicans passed a federal budget bill by a vote of 215 – 214 early Thursday morning that includes massive cuts for Medicare and Medicaid in order to extend tax breaks to billionaires. It now goes to the Senate.
