Hey US MSM start reporting on the shit going down with Trump & his disgusting behaviour. Are you all afraid to lose your press credentials & be banned from the Oval office press conferences where he lies through his teeth & is never questioned. The foreign press are doing a better job.

We the people... have had enough. #nokings #nokingsday #resist #june14 #nokingsday

“About 500 severely normal Albertans, many as pissed as summer hornets, filled the hall to the brim.” Andrew Nikiforuk on a boisterous “coal town hall” with Premier Danielle Smith. thetyee.ca/Opinion/2025...

ONE WEEK UNTIL NO KINGS DAY! At this time next Saturday, we will be taking to the streets across the country. While Trump wastes millions on a birthday parade in DC, we’re showing up everywhere else to say NO KINGS. There are nearly 2,000 events planned. Join us: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Pretty cool seeing Tcaf volunteers wearing my artwork on their t shirts 👍

when people argue that democrats shouldnt stand up for transgender people, i want you to substitute "transgender" in your head with "black" "latino" "asian" or "women" and understand why its a non-starter. either we all have equal rights or none of us does. this is simple.

Too many of my white friends are still doing risk analysis, still weighing the costs of expressing their new revelations, still concerned about what they will lose by speaking out. The reality is, the risks and consequences of silence are far greater. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/white-frie...

Getting bank robbers to ask permission before stealing people's life savings would kill the bank robbing industry.

We will not win the battle for democracy if those in the pro-democracy movement prize caution over taking risks. We cannot permit ourselves to be deterred by the defeats and public criticism that are inevitable along the long path of restoring democracy. Now is the time for fearless leadership.

This says something horrible about the American people and their attention to the facts and evidence that the Republicans are not good for normal Americans.

We all gotta take a stand against this wanna be king, against this authoritarianism, against this tyrant in the White House. Do only what you can. And if we all do that, we’ll prevail. Today’s Substack, check it out.👇 open.substack.com/pub/socialco...

Republicans in Congress really want to take food out of the mouths of hungry children and medicine away from the sick to fund tax cuts for people who don't need them. Tell your Senators: Vote NO on the Trump budget.

We know a lack of sex ed is a symptom of a culture that teaches us to abandon sexual health as part of our overall well-being. We provide inclusive, accurate and comprehensive sex ed for ALL, including parents/guardians who want to learn how to start open conversations about sex & relationships.

This a campaign to follow and hopefully emulated by others.

BREAKING: The Trump administration is working on a plan to permanently relocate up to 1 million Palestinians from the Gaza Strip to Libya, five people with knowledge of the effort told NBC News.

A message to people commenting on the Hockey Canada case:

Hey you - yes YOU - would you take 5 minutes and nominate me for Justice Democrats? I'm fighting to represent everyday people, not corporate donors or billionaires, and I believe my progressive platform fits right in with the mission of JD. Thank you so much. See comments for helpful data.

I need to take a deep breath before I write this. Today has been hell. I just spent the last nine hours in a room full of grassroots organizers, & because of four people, we got absolutely fucking nothing done. This is gonna be a long one, so get comfy. Cause I’m royally pissed. #harmreduction 🧵

🧵This morning a constituent emailed in q's. Wanted to share my response here too. Q1 Do you support the first amendment of the U.S. constitution, without any exclusions? In nearly all contexts. But like most things there are nuances - libel, slander, yelling "FIRE" in a crowded room, threats -

Politicians with hearts 💕 need to be encouraged, as do lawyers. Both fields discourage them.

Republicans have just proposed defunding Planned Parenthood nationwide. In doing so, they are telling women and people across the country that our healthcare doesn’t matter and that we are undeserving of care. It’s time to stop this bill in its tracks.

AOC shuts down GOP outrage—calling out their arrogance, their condescension. “I will not yield to disrespectful men.” No apologies. No deference. Just straight fire. And they couldn’t handle it.💥🔥🔥

Ages 0-4 are the most important, emotionally & intellectually, in human development. Yet, in the US, we have a very high rate of childhood poverty and a broken child care system. Congratulations to New Mexico for leading the way forward for high quality, free child care. Other states must follow.

can we get some more coverage of this? 74 year old navy vet with anodyne protest signs on her van was set upon by a retired cop who put her in the hospital. mississippitoday.org/2025/05/06/c...
