🚨 We are not in a theoretical crisis—our American democracy is on its last breath. But from coast to coast, city to city—the people are uniting. Join our nonviolent resistance at www.FiftyFifty.one 🤝 #FiftyFiftyOne #50501Movement #PeoplesMovement #MayDay #May1 #ImpeachTrump

Workers are not asking to get rich. They just want to afford three meals a day. In the richest country in the history of the world, no one should work for starvation wages. It is time to raise the disgraceful $7.25/hr federal minimum wage to a living wage of AT LEAST $17/hr.

🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🇺🇸💙🩷🍀🍀

⚠️ Warning: Flashing lights or patterns 🚨 On May 1, 2025, in cities across the U.S., we will honor the legacy of the workers who gave everything for the eight-hour day—and we will carry their struggle into today’s fight for a country that serves the many, not the few. JOIN US at www.FiftyFifty.one

We will March. May Day.

Our military is in chaos. Our most sensitive national security intel isn’t safe. Our adversaries are overjoyed. Pete Hegseth has to go ASAP.

It isn't that America lacks courage. It's that we’ve become so cut off from one another that many of us feel alone, which makes us feel afraid. But when we are surrounded by courageous people, all of us become more courageous.  Courage is contagious.

It's textbook corruption - a company doesn't like that there is a free alternative to their product that helps Americans save money, so they give Trump cold hard cash and he goes to work to remove that free alternative. #TrumpCrimeFamily

An 89-year-old Holocaust survivor. A 93-year-old woman who never protested before. They're mad as hell at what Trump is doing to America, as they joined about 80 others in their senior complex in Haverford, Pa. for a "No Kings!" protest like no other My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/comm...

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?

These billboards line the streets around Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Because it bears repeating. I am an American soldier. I am sworn to protect the constitution and the citizens of the United States. As a member of the US military, I want to let you know this. I am sworn to protect _YOU_ and I know what an illegal order sounds like.

The turnout in small towns across the country has been incredible drawing crowds of thousands. We’re already seeing over one million in attendance nationwide, and events are still underway. Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Ohio all had especially surprising showings.

Former GOP political operative Steve Schmidt nails it - or as former GOP Congresswoman Liz Cheney famously said: "To my Republican colleagues who are defending the indefensible: There will come a time when Donald Trump is gone. But your dishonor will remain.” #ResistTrump

There is no easy way out of this nightmare. Everyone better prepare for the worst. www.themirror.com/news/us-news...

YES!

This is what corruption looks like.

If you work full time, you should be paid enough to live a decent life - and it doesn't matter what the job is that you are doing. This should not be a controversial statement in the richest nation on earth. #UnionsForAll

women and minorities will be ruthlessly denied rights, little by belittle. Vote Susan Crawford I Wisconsin www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

Tomorrow is Election Day for the Wisconsin Supreme Court race — and we have a message for Elon Musk: Wisconsin is not for sale! @benwikler.bsky.social @wisdems.bsky.social Make sure to go vote and elect Judge Crawford, WI!

US women deserve better

Jesus never punished anyone.

Can Trump run again? Of course he can. Of course it is unconstitutional, like many of his actions the last 3 months. He can run. Despots around the world can advise on election-rigging. And he needs a loyal-to-him military. We cannot bank on the rule of law to save us.

Uplifting @hcrichardson.bsky.social time capsule/history lesson, too: Maine women know how to handle tyrants. heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/march-22-2...

AOC: We need to be taxing the rich on the floor of the Congress We need to be establishing guaranteed healthcare on the floor of the Congress We need to be passing a living wage on the floor of the Congress

AOC: In every single stop that Bernie and I have had in the past couple of days… every single stop has completely blown out all attendance projections.

Wow, just WOW!! Looks like orange Slim Shady is at it again…👇 What. The. Actual. Fuck. ✨

You have $100 in your checking account. One day, you check your balance and it's $60. You haven't made any withdrawals. You call the bank. They say $40 was taken as part of their "waste, fraud and abuse" program. Would you be ok with it? Coz it's happening to your social security and Medicaid.
