Ouch. #TrumpsTrillionsTransfer

I just made a contribution to @ossoff.senate.gov @ossoff.bsky.social. It's crucial that Jon holds this seat...not just for me and all of my fellow Georgians, but for the United States.

DOZE Department of Zero Efficiency

I'll say it over and over. I do not believe in gate keeping. I do not believe in pulling up the ladder. I believe in kicking the wall down like the Kool-Aid man, and making room as I go for those who come next. Just because it was hard for me, doesn't mean it has to be hard for anyone else.

This is your daily reminder that Republicans are planning to gut Medicaid, Medicare and SNAP to hand tax breaks to billionaires. Don’t get distracted. Help me spread the word.

It will forever anger me that so many NY State Democratic leaders are backing a known sexual predator to lead New York City just to protect Big Money and corporate greed — and then will continue saying they will “fight for women.” Don’t rank Cuomo.

Shout out to everyone who showed up for what's right today. A WHOPPING 11 MILLION & COUNTING🌐 We will only be louder & larger in The follow-up‼️Stay tuned 🫶🏼 Our next nationwide call to action is not far from being announced✨️ KEEP SHOWING UP SPEAKING OUT & FIGHTING BACK #UNITEDWESTAND #50501ACTIVISTS

Looks like God is taking a dim view of the stinky stains parade!

50,000 or more at St Paul No Kings rally

St Paul has 50,000+ gathered at the Capitol!

ALWAYS!!!!

Hell yes, a federal judge has blocked the MAGA regime from deploying National Guard troops to Los Angeles and has ruled it unconstitutional and illegal. Damn right it’s illegal, it’s also unAmerican and unbelievably fascist. More of this please! 👏

2/2 It turns out it is easy to provoke crude/stupid/criminal reactions from magats. Democratic leaders need to provoke them at every opportunity. Padilla asked a question. Maga overreacted. Score one for democracy in the narrative war.

The Padilla mugging illustrates the kinds of action anti-Trump leaders need to take. The short-hand is "the action is in the reaction." Saul Alinsky's famous rule of organizing. 1/2

Trump won't release the Epstein files. Because he's in them. Keep this going.

Very powerful invitation to show up with TACO signs!

🚨NEW: Former Vice Chief of the National Guard Major General Randy Manner criticizes Trump for deploying federal troops in California: "This is an inappropriate use of the National Guard and is not warranted.” REPOST to thank General Manner for standing up for democracy!

I am a Philly partisan, so it is rare (that is never) that I root for LA. However, in the stand against Trump and fascist Miller, I am all in with Los Angeles and the Patriot Protesters!

The Republican bill is incredibly unpopular. It would hurt millions & give tax cuts to billionaires. Make the politics SO toxic that Republicans have to rework the budget framework completely. Protest! Resist! Join together to fight back!

LAPD STATEMENT: “The protests remained peaceful… without incident…”

We've heard this song and dance from successive admits. Bullshit then. Bullshit now. Prices are rising sharply in imported goods. Retailers are hiding weak numbers by reducing hours in place of layoff. I work in retail, hours are down 20% in the last 2 weeks . It will get worse in the coming days

🚨Oklahoma Special Election🚨 On June 10th, you have the opportunity to vote for Amy Hossain for House of Reps District 74! Her priorities are: 🗳️Affordable Housing 🗳️Quality Public Education 🗳️Living Wages 🗳️Equitable Healthcare Vote for Amy Hossain on 6/10!

In the Twin Cities too

Senator Chris Murphy should be a candidate for the Democratic nomination in 28

Reminiscent of the Tuscon border trials under Bush. Sanctuary organizers were attacked by government and Charged with bogus items. Acquitted all.
