Tired of hearing screams by people told to die for the economy in 2020 by Trump. We look at history for places where screaming actually helped people. 40 yrs old

Lee Jae-myung, the South Korean politician who climbed the fence of the parliament to get inside and vote against martial law, has been elected president. Pretty cooool

Minneapolis… San Diego… Folks are pushing back. This is only going to get worse.

The right likes seeing us upset about scandals. They think the law is corrupted, so don’t argue law argue immoral. They think men have a right to women, don’t wast your breath. Don’t focus on Rump, he is a diversion and they know it. Focus on who the law helps and hurts and how.

🔥JONES: “If they come for one of us, they will come for all of us. No one is expendable.” Rep. @brotherjones.bsky.social speaks powerfully at @hrc.org about the importance of not leaving anyone behind in the fight for equality. #PrideIsAProtest #PrideMonth

President Obama warns Republicans are quietly coming after the ACA again. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.

Rachel Maddow is right: History shows us how to resist tyranny—not just big moments like WWII, but recent ones too—Poland's Solidarity movement, Navalny’s courage. The lesson? Don’t wait. Protest. Vote. Call. Write. Show up. Small actions, repeated, change everything. Democracy depends on you.

"Where are the Democratic leaders? We should have been dancing on this (the "We're all going to die!" remarks of Sen. Joni Earnst to her constituents who complained of healthcare cuts) two seconds after she said it!" -Rev. Al Sharpton He's exactly right. Where are they?

Wonderful idea

While Stephen Miller publishes the faces of the judges that struck down Trump’s unlawful tariffs, his own goons in ICE refuse to show theirs out of fear of being publicly identified. If our judges are brave enough to face MAGA threats with their faces showing, ICE should not hide behind masks.

Dear senate republican men, it is common knowledge that most of you are on the Epstein list. Please stop letting people use this to blackmail you. Your constituents don’t care or they would never have elected a president who was proven to be on that list. Sincerely,

We need rallies showing support for the judges and lawyers fighting Trump. We need them to know we got their backs. @michaelmhughes.bsky.social

This week, I met with federal workers that President Trump fired. I will keep fighting for them and the work they’ve done every day in Congress.

Ice will be immune from prosecution for resisting court orders.

Good morning friends ☀️☕️ What’s going on in the video below is way out of hand and has been.

They will NEVER silence us on the House Floor. Or anyplace else.

Hayes: Every provision in this program is cruel and they know it. That's why none of them spoke on it in committee. That's why they have no response. That's why they don't hold town halls. That's why they don't answer questions. All they do is tweet, repeat, and hide in the back until they vote yes

@warren.senate.gov: "They're fighting over how many children should go hungry so that Mark Zuckerberg can buy another Hawaiian island."

The current budget bill is an atrocity and out-of-touch leaders like Chuck Schumer laid the groundwork by voting for the CR. Appeasement and complicity do not work. When you bend the knee, they’ll break your leg.

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.

AOC: When you wake up in the morning, you will realize that you voted to defund planned parenthood and take away health care from 13.7 million Americans and when this country wakes up there will be consequences to pay for this

This monstrous bill strips health care from 14 million Americans, cuts $300 billion in food and nutrition from working Americans, while giving a temporary head fake to those working on overtime and those working for tips. It actually raises taxes on the poorest 20% of Americans.

The GOP Tax Scheme represents the largest wealth transfer from the poor to the rich in American history.

Well maybe it’s because they no longer identify themselves properly like the law requires. maybe it’s people fighting back against breaking and entering with lack of warrants.

Very sad to hear Rep. Connolly has passed. Also, Dems might be wise to consider empowering younger people and not clinging to power until the very end?

BREAKING: Following today's emergency hearing, Judge Brian Murphy orders the Trump administration to "maintain custody and control of class members currently being removed to South Sudan or to any other third country," such that he could order their return if needed.

Boycotting large chains is a privilege. Protesting is a privilege. Moving States or countries is a privilege. Prepping is a privilege. Growing your own food is a privilege. Stockpiling meds is a privilege. Far too many of the “solutions” to fascism are inaccessible to many disabled people.

MAKE NOISE ON THIS ONE‼️ They didn’t just deport him—they sent him to CECOT in El Salvador. Agelviz came here legally through the refugee resettlement program—fully vetted. But when he landed in Houston, CBP snatched him over a tattoo: a clock and a rose. No charges. No record. Just a suspicion.

This isn’t about waiting for permission. It’s about doing what we can,together,before it’s too late. June 6–10: General Strike. Walk out if you can. Withhold spending,Show up visibly & locally. If you’ve felt the system cracking beneath you- if you’ve asked what more you can do- This is the moment.

How would you fight if you knew no matter what you did they were coming for you? There are many disabled people who should be asking that question because they are going to destroy Obamacare and let people with preexisting conditions die again.

How would you fight if you knew no matter what you did they were coming for you? There are many green card holders that should be asking themselves that because they stripped people of their green cards to deport them.

After reports exposed that the Trump administration (Ed Martin) is using bot accounts to manipulate social media comments, we recommend ignoring the trolls entirely. Operation Whirlwind’s tactics keep escalating from online disinformation,
