A very important story. Pam Hemphill, who is a hero, was disinvited from a rally because the organizers would not “forgive” her. This is how oppositions fail reedgalen.substack.com/p/dear-rally...

I once again say to you that every day Republicans in Congress wake up and decide to be cowards. Impeach this tyrant and remove him from office.

👇This is exactly it. We can't let ourselves be baited into their trap. They want to make a spectacle of us. We cannot let them. Peaceful protest isn't silent. It's just not violent. Stay peaceful. Stick together. And be good to each other. See you Saturday! 💪💙✌️ #nosilencenoviolence

This is not surprising. Remember the sit silently response if it's appropriate (meaning you don't have to duck weapons).

My thoughts on what’s going on in Los Angeles:

"An order is only lawful if it aligns with the Constitution..." Refusing to obey an unlawful order is essential.

Here’s what it was like in Downtown LA today. (Spoiler alert: Trump is lying to you) youtu.be/to9wEgUCIpQ

I held off on what I had planned to discuss in “The Week Ahead” tonight to try and give us some baselines for understanding what is happening in Los Angeles. And in the White House. There is a lot of territory to cover here, and it’s complicated, so bear with me. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

If any marginalized group has to fight for equal rights…then our systems and laws are NOT equal. Read that again. Take all the time you need.

1/7 This is more than a thread. It’s a call to action. Don’t just like it. Don’t just repost it. Take this into your life, talk about it at work, in your book club, on your team, at your café. What’s in here is dangerous, and it’s being buried. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

Laws should solve real problems/like better healthcare/ financial protection. Why do so many lawmakers push laws based on disproven conspiracy theories? Because they get headlines? Who benefits & who’s left out when outrageous laws are proposed? Demand better! #TruthBrigade

Hakeem Jeffries lays out the facts: 14 Million with canceled healthcare $700B cuts to Medicaid $300B cuts to SNAP food assistance $500B cuts to Medicare …while Billions in GIVEAWAYS go to the wealthy, big tech, corporate prisons, Elon, oil leases, logging, etc. #StopTheBillionaireBailout

To those serving, you DO NOT have to follow orders! You took an oath to the U.S. Constitution, not any rascist, bigoted idiot who believes their “words,” “declarations” or “beliefs” validate trashing Constitutional Rights. Call the GI RIGHTS HOTLINE: 877.447.4487.

this is a letter to the editor from a high school track runner who came in second to a trans girl in a race. her state house rep in maine started talking about it. so she wrote this: www.pressherald.com/2025/05/14/r...

Social Security is one of the most important public programs in American history. It helps millions retire with dignity, supports people with disabilities, and keeps families afloat. It’s a cornerstone of economic security—and it’s worth fighting for. rooseveltinstitute.org/blog/doge-wa...

In a fiery moment on the House floor, Rep. Tom Suozzi just tore into the GOP’s reconciliation package—exposing contradiction after contradiction. If you watch one clip today, make it this. 🎯🔥

Fascism is here. It’s too late to prevent its arrival, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t a great deal you and I can do to slow its spread, dilute its power, and derail its mission. Here are ways of reaffirming your agency and flipping off the fascists. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/5-ways-to-...

The people have the power. All we have to do is awaken the power in the people.” — John Lennon

America has to put an end to this madness...

JUST NOW: Leader Jeffries, Senator Coons, and Senator Booker sat on the Capitol steps, watched the sunrise, and talked about the budget fight. This is what we need—bringing people in and speaking plain truth. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @coons.senate.gov @booker.senate.gov

Don’t let the arrest of a Federal Judge distract you from the announcement that ICE can enter anyone’s home without a warrant to look for migrants.

Allison Riggs won fair & square back in NOVEMBER! The sore loser Republican kept litigation alive long enough for the Republicans on the North Carolina Supreme Court to find an excuse to throw out a few 1000 ballots. Don’t let them silence you! Hit the link 👇 #DemVoice1

Cutting wasteful spending is a good thing. Are the culprits really climate and cancer research, veterans' services, national parks, and financial oversight? Or is this just propaganda? The real cost falls on working Americans. #TruthBrigade truthbrigade.indivisible.org/s/erXfNiDs
