Senate GOP seeks to slash rural healthcare. Tell your GOP senators to oppose H.R.1 (Trump’s One Big Ugly Bill). Save Medicaid! wapo.st/44mGKEi

I know this is heresy, but I really don’t care what Barack Obama has to say anymore. Back in Public Eye, Offers a Careful Warning of a Democratic Slide www.nytimes.com/2025/06/17/u...

Call your senators & tell them to reject Trump’s terrible tax bill.

Truth!

The Senate GOP has released its version of Trump’s “Big Ugly Bill” & it’s worse than the House’s version! Use @5Calls.org to demand your Senators oppose this monstrosity - this is uber critical in Red states!

It now looks like Trump plans to unilaterally join Israel’s war against Iran. Please contact your state’s senators & representative to demand Trump abide by the Constitutional mandate that only Congress can declare war!

Just got back from a trip to MN to visit our daughter. Was in Duluth for No Kings. People came out!!! ❤️✊🏻✊🏽✊

More than 1 million in Boston! www.wcvb.com/article/more...

Nicely done, #SalemMA! 👏🏻🙌🏻👏🏻🙌🏻👏🏻🙌🏻

Iran was negotiating. With the complicity of the US, Israel launches a massive surprise attack on Iran, killing many, including Iran’s chief negotiator. Now the US demands Iran “make a deal” to avoid complete destruction. Who would you say are the aggressors here?

Honor to all those 100s of 1000s who will march tomorrow against fascism, for democracy!

Israel likely just started a war with Iran. Trump either preemptively gave Netanyahu the “green light” to do so or Bibi will extort the US into defending Israel from Iranian retaliation. In either case, not good.

yes. i think the only thing the white house has accomplished this week is dramatically grow the crowds against them.

These are the people that make America great 🇲🇽🇺🇸

This. 👇👇👇

I pray that the National Guardsmen & Marines now in LA heed the profound words of former Joint Chefs Chairman General Mark Milly. Obey the Constitution, not a “wannabe dictator!” youtube.com/watch?v=9to_...

Boston city hall protest. Free David Huerta! Abolish ICE!!! ✊🏻✊🏽✊

Things pretty suck right now, but music will help pull us through. Check out this tune by the great Steve Earle. youtu.be/3aeqGex645Y?...

Boston area folks, listen up!!👂👂👂

We may be at an inflection point in our nation’s history. Do not give them what they want. Resist. Stay strong. Stay nonviolent.

As a proud Californian (now living in Mass.), I’d say you are fucking with the wrong state, Donny.

Earlier today in LA. Of course, this is just what they want & are already calling it “insurrection.” Get ready for what comes next.

Huzzah Ukraine! 🇺🇦 apnews.com/video/ukrain...

Trump wants us to submit. We will not. Let’s ruin his fascistic birthday bash. Join your local No Kings protest on 6/14! www.nokings.org

I am shocked, shocked.

The sign I made for today’s Marblehead protest commemorating the 81st anniversary of the D-Day invasion. Glory to my Dad and all who served.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia has been returned to the US, but is being charged with “human trafficking.” The head of the criminal division of the US Attorney General’s Office in Nashville resigns in protest. Two steps forward, one step backward! aaronparnas.substack.com?utm_source=n...

Now for something completely different…

The U.S. is now a police state but people aren’t having it.
