Reminder! Everyone PLEASE call your Senators today and tomorrow, and urge them to vote no on the atrocious Billionaire Bailout Bill. It may feel futile. But make your voices heard! #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Jackson graduated with the highest honors from Harvard University. She graduated Magna Cum Laude. Charlie Kirk dropped out of community college. He could never earn what our first Black female Supreme Court Justice did.

Just a reminder that it will forever be the Gulf of Mexico, no matter how many times they rename it.

My name is Bobby Cole and I'm running to be the next governor of the state of Texas. Who am I? In the words of Greg Abbott: FAFO. Learn more 👉 coleforgovernor.com Donate 👉 secure.actblue.com/donate/stand...

Keep Calm, and Keep On Boycotting Target. #TargetBoycott #BoycottTarget www.newsweek.com/target-facin...

#boycottTarget

The boycott continues. #BoycottTarget

Remember when we were told Trump was to Kamala’s left on being the antiwar choice? 😂

Straight from the Bible ...

BREAKING NEWS: In a stunning act of betrayal to Black America, the National Baptist Convention, USA has accepted a $300,000 donation from @target. The leadership of this Black Baptist church denomination made no effort to talk with, consult, or reach out to the leaders of the Target boycott.

and some now-prominent pundits legitimated this nonsense

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

Six former CDC vaccine chairs are sounding the alarm—and we better listen. The U.S. is on the brink of losing access to life-saving immunizations. When science is attacked and trust is eroded, lives will be lost. This is not a drill. This is a national emergency.

🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️

Extremely alarmed by reporting that the VA under Trump has changed bylaws, removing prohibitions against denying care based on marital status, political ideology, age, nat origin, or disability. Why does this Admin keep making it easier to discriminate? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

UPDATE: Minnesota authorities have identified Vance Boelter (57) as the alleged murderer. The kill list recovered from his car also targets Gov Tim Walz, Rep. Ilhan Omar, several Democratic lawmakers, & abortion-care providers. If you know where Boelter is call MN state tip line at (651) 555-TIPS.

Rep Hortman and I were classmates at the Kennedy School and graduated together in 2018. It took me a moment to realize the person who I remember as deeply service driven and incredibly bright was the victim of last night’s heinous act. She was a bright light and made us all better.

Thousands form a human banner on Ocean Beach this morning. Check it out @maddow.msnbc.com #nokings #nokingsday

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x convicted felon & adjudicated rapist Trump did.

The same MAGA leaders backing Trump's use of the National Guard & Marines in LA refuse to put up a bronze plaque honoring the brave men and women who defended the Capitol on J6 against the violent insurrectionists seeking to overthrow an election and execute the VP & Speaker

BREAKING: Minnesota state House Leader Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark were shot and killed in their suburban Twin Cities home in one of two "targeted" attacks against sitting Democratic legislators.

Dear Members of the Military, You can conscientiously object to his war on America.

Senior officers of the United States military have an obligation to speak up and be leaders. Where is the Army chief of staff? Will he or others speak truth to the commander in chief and put a stop to the assault on the integrity of his troops? www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Get out of my brain. I will keep saying this… Some folks are going to have to go through some things so this country can actually heal and have any chance of becoming what it promises to be. If they’re still on that “both sides bs” or “Harris should have done this bs” they still don’t get it🤷🏾‍♀️

Truth-tellers, not rioters. Protect these two men at all costs. “You feel tough with your assault rifles and your sticks. You should be standing here with us. You’re on the wrong side of history.” “John Lewis said make good trouble… that means make trouble on behalf of democracy.”

ICE Protests I’m very scared for resistance activists who do not understand or comprehend that he is lining up the Marines from San Diego Marine Corps Camp Pendleton Base and declaring WAR on peaceful protesters. This reminds me of Tiananmen Square. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1989_Ti...

Trump is deploying the military on U.S. soil to crush the first amendment rights of citizens protesting his administration’s illegal abduction and trafficking, and detention of immigrants. This is the authoritarianism we warned about.

Posting this bc Bluesky users often miss things being reported on Xitter, and as a result falsely claim nothing is happening. Two of these MoCs (Jimmy Gomez was one) were still present when the tear gas started.

George Clooney? The guy who led the crazed mob with pitchforks and torches following Biden’s bad debate? Yeah, I’ll fucking pass!…

Better safe than sorry… 🚨Heavy ICE Presence Expected in Los Angeles on Sunday. A bilingual warning is being shared with the community — including areas to avoid. Stay alert. Protect each other. Know your rights.

Hate is on the rise—and it’s showing up in ways that should alarm every single one of us. We’re seeing violent attacks targeting people for who they are, what they believe, or how they choose to live. That’s unacceptable. (1/2)

🔥 MUST-WATCH: Rev. Barber preaches about Iowa Senator Joni Ernst’s “we’re all going to die” comments about Republican Medicaid cuts — and her ensuing un-Christian non-apology. Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DKXwOc0...

Law enforcement officers should never cover their faces when making arrests or conceal their identities (unless they are working undercover). They work for us. We have a right to know who they are. These face coverings are frightening & unAmerican, as though they're ashamed of what they're doing.

The grandson of our 10th President , John Tyler, died this week at age 96. His grandfather, President Tyler, was born in 1790. Three generations of Tyler’s lived from 1790-2025, or a 235-year arc of continuity. That is statistically wild! 😳 nypost.com/2025/05/28/u...

if your grand approach to politics is bloodless poll-testing so that you're always aligned with wherever public opinion happens to be, you've already lost

This Memorial Day weekend, the best way to honor the soldiers who gave the ultimate sacrifice is to honor and protect the freedoms and the democracy they died for.

Reminder: When companies pay less than a living wage and don’t offer healthcare, their workers are forced to rely on taxpayer-funded social safety nets like Medicaid and SNAP. That’s not a handout to workers. That’s a handout to the companies exploiting them.
