Philly! #50501

This.

The President and Vice President publicly mistreated and bullied an ally today…and the Republican Party is supporting it. When will people realize what is happening??

Just tried to email AG Bailey's (MO) office to oppose MO's involvement in Texas vs. Becerra (repealing 504). A few problems: 1) Character count is very low 2) Captcha not working no matter how many times I clicked I was not a robot. Had to call and work my way through to find a human.

Missouri--always in a race to mirror DJT. governor.mo.gov/press-releas...

Thirty lonely but beautiful actions you can take right now which probably won't magically catalyze a mass movement against Trump but that are still wildly important https://thewhitepages.net/p/thirty-lonely-but-beautiful-actions

I am DISGUSTED by Missouri's AG signing on to the Texas vs. Becerra lawsuit. Disgusted, yet not surprised. I am pushing my professional association to fight back and am working with my city to do the same. Setting precedents for responses, not relying on them.

Aged to perfection.

Did some comparison this morning. MSNBC is covering the FBI firings, DOGE, and big dip in the stock markets. Fox is covering immigrant deportation and Netanyahu to the White House. Villain vs hero complex. No wonder people are divided and confused and don’t believe anything that is reported.

Impatiently waiting for SOMEONE to step in and stop this madness.

I keep repeating my retirement account investor’s words…invest for the long term. I am now very worried about what the “long term” will be for investments, my retirement account included.

1/ Your overwhelm is the goal—it’s not accidental. The chaos, the flood of news, the constant crises? The negativity. It’s a strategic manipulation designed to disorient and exhaust you. Here’s how it works and how you can fight back. 🧵 #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

Disgusting.

Congratulations to Ken Martin, the new Chair of the DNC. DemCast and our tens of thousands of digital volunteers are eager to work alongside @kenmartin.bsky.social and his team to finally make gains against the right wing’s disinformation machine. There’s a lot of work to do. Let’s go.

I found this very comforting. We CAN DO THESE things. Make sure to take care of your physical and mental health!!

I am disgusted Trump said the D.C. plane crash may have been caused by DEI initiatives (his data on this "I have common sense.") He also blamed the California fires on DEI initiatives. I believe he has "blamed" DEI for many things and will continue to do so to fire up his racist base.

So, if RFK, Jr. is appointed, will the government actually put strong funding behind school lunches...or make school breakfasts and lunches free for all???

Medicaid was not supposed to be impacted by the great "pause". However, the portal that state Medicaid offices use to process payments is currently closed. So...how is Medicaid not impacted again?

18 eggs cost $7.50 at my grocery store today. So glad Denali was re-named. {sarcasm on Denali}

Trump's DEI attack may halt progress for disabled workers t.co/HG4fynK7w1?s...

I love everything about this. Serious or not, we need more lawmakers willing to hold men accountable for their role in contraception and procreation.

I want to thank the little voice in my head that stopped me from captioning this 'don't shoot the messenger'... www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

In preparation for the People’s March, I offered to host a poster-making party. This person who is in my life, and has opposite political choices-initiated the below exchange. Oh. The. Irony.

“Exuberant” is not the word I would have chosen. Nazi seems more accurate.

Find your rallying cry and MOVE.

Seems fitting and timely for today (and the days to come). I am not sure of the creator. I found on Pinterest. Thanks to the creator!

As a mother of boys, I am legitimately concerned for battles & wars & physical fights to come. As an aunt to girls, I remain terrified for their personal health and safety. As a woman standing for democracy, time to take care of myself and improve my own physical fitness. Lots of marching ahead.

Because #bigpharma is more important than the health and medical needs of all of us.

I was thinking the same thing. So much for “backing the blue”. Disgraceful.

Remember: It can be sad. It can be tragic. It can be disgusting and depressing and discouraging. But it doesn’t have to mean this is who we are now. It’s what our country is doing right now and that’s not the same as who we are. Who we are isn’t up to him.
