Busting up big corporations.  Tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics.  Strengthening unions and fighting for higher wages. Medicare for all, paid family leave, universal childcare... This is the progressive populist agenda we need in America.

Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. 🎉 Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace. You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.

With an American President who is the utter antithesis of Jesus’s teachings, it’s no accident the church picked the first ever American Pope. And with an American President who has declared war on immigrants, it’s no accident the first ever American Pope is also a missionary.

House Republicans have added a plan to raise billions of dollars to help pay for President Trump’s massive tax cuts through the sale of thousands of acres of federal land

I’m autistic and have special needs. People used to bully me for just being myself. I lost confidence. Some still call me fat or tell me to lose weight. But I am trying. I’m walking. Healing. Losing weight. Finding myself again. This is only the beginning. #NeverGiveUp

A letter supporting Medicaid cuts signed by 20 House Republicans last week was reportedly authored by a Koch-funded think tank, according to digital metadata. The GOP is barely hiding its true agenda: slash the social safety net to give billionaires another huge tax cut.

💙✊️😡💙

How does laying off FDA an this "make America health again"? Cartoon by Dennis Goris.

I may be the only lawyer targeted by Trump willing to speak on camera, but for me it wasn't a choice. All of us have an obligation to speak out against what Trump is doing. All of us have an obligation to fight for democracy. I am fortunate to be a lawyer and to have a platform -- and I will use it.

The American Recovery Act was cancelled by Trump’s administration. Insulin used to cost this senior citizen $8 for a 28 day supply under President Biden, now it’s $80 under Trump. #MomSky #Voices4Victory

-Dropped or halted investigations into 100+ corporations -Gutted regulatory agencies and fired ethics watchdogs -Launched a crypto coin and offered an "intimate dinner" to top buyers -Turned the White House into a Tesla showroom to help his biggest donor "Drain the swamp."

This is old… but I will always love this kind man, who saw a thirsty squirrel that was struggling, and helped him drink water from a bottle 💗 📽️gabrielecorno

Here’s a video of Bernie Sanders 21 years ago explaining how the Republicans win even though no one likes their policies. How Republicans split and divide and win. #MomSky #Voices4Victory

Republicans are corrupted into fossil fuel’s service by fossil fuel dark money; Democrats’ indolence has aided the “spiral of silence” — there is blame galore for where we are. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Big thank you to The Dangerous Ones for giving me a chance to talk about a different path for America, one our parents and grandparents believed in, but has been buried by two generations of nihilism and self-interest by the tiny group that’s made trillions by hollowing out our country’s soul.

They're dismantling (what remains of) the social safety net and replacing it with a dragnet instead.

As Trump imposes punitive tariffs in an effort to strong arm American companies to invest domestically, the Trump Organization continues to invest abroad. Just last week, it announced deals to build a tower in Dubai and a golf course in Qatar.

I think a lot about what Carl Sagan said in one of his final interviews.

@wyden.senate.gov has earned the respect his constituents have for him. He listens. He knows what is necessary because...he listens. www.oregonlive.com/politics/202...

#ProudBlue #Voices4Victory Never ever tell me fotus & the GOP care about our Vets 🤬 Fotus has decided to put Biden’s VA Servicing Purchase program that was built specifically to keep our vets housed on the chopping block 90,000 could be forced out of their homes www.rawstory.com/trump-vetera...

POISONING THE AIR WE BREATHE Senate Republicans voted to overturn an EPA rule which limits 7 hazardous air pollutants, including benzene, which causes leukemia. This is a major victory for the fossil fuel industry, courtesy of Trump. #ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited 👇🏼 www.cbsnews.com/news/senate-...

The most dangerous legal doctrine right now is a "norm" the courts developed to presume good faith and regularity from presidents and their administrations. For the sake of democracy, the courts must stop presuming donald Trump is a regular president. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

So a military parade for Trump’s birthday is acceptable but children’s cancer research costs too much? newrepublic.com/post/194764/...

We all must stand up every single day. "If the founding history of this country is any guide, those who stood up in court to vindicate constitutional rights and, by so doing, served to promote the rule of law, will be the models lauded when this period of American history is written." -Judge Howell

A girl from occupied Makiivka secretly studied in a Ukrainian online school despite her parents' objections. The moment she turned 18, she escaped the occupation. This is the kind of courage that shapes the future.

Robert F Kennedy Jr was a 14 year heroin addict and had the money/privledge to get the very best treatment. Now, he's going to take away Narcam so addicts can die. Put that in your church plate and pass it around.

Looks like I will be on 60 Minutes on Sunday. That is me at the end of the clip.👀 www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1ef...

Inspiration for today….

Trump and the GOP are trying to get working people to pay for tax cuts for billionaires. If a Republican represents you, tell them to stop putting billionaires first and start fighting for the families they were elected to serve: indivisible.org/reso...

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978? 100%? 500%? Try 1,085% Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Everybody receiving Social Security or about to receive Social Security needs to hear about the emergency announcement Trump just made. It may impact you. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue youtube.com/watch?v=SiEs...

This newly adopted pup is looking at his new person with so much love 🫠 Please consider adoption. There are so many animals dumped in rescues and shelters, through no fault of their own, waiting for loving forever homes ❤️ 📽️adoptioncenter

Last night the average Canadian proved they are smarter than the average American. They also respect their women & allow abortions, (read: men don't control their bodies), have legalized pot, do not use schools as mass murder sites, etc .... AND, ... here's the big one: elect a Statesman as leader!

JUST A FACT…👇 Any Questions?!

This is from The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson aired on May 20th, 1977. Carl Sagan says something very important, a strong message that didn't lose any validity since then.

The man who has never accepted responsibility, apologized, or admitted a mistake in his entire life isn’t about to start now.

20 ARMED men bust into your home. They claim they’ve got a search warrant. They make you stand in the rain w/your 3 daughters in their underwear. They seize your phones, laptops, your cash life savings. The suspects listed on the warrant? They don’t live there anymore. kfor.com/news/local/w...

⚠️💉Concerning news from FDA. Delays on Novavax’s COVID booster—despite past approvals of similar vaccines—limit choices for those who can't tolerate mRNA (e.g., some with long COVID). If FDA demands new trials from Pfizer/Moderna, fall boosters could be off the table. www.statnews.com/2025/04/27/f...

Republicans in Congress don’t want us talking about Trump’s tax scam because they know it screws working people by taking trillions from Medicaid and SNAP to pay for billionaires’ tax breaks. We must get the GOP on the record & hold them accountable. Call your representative: indivisible.org/reso...

Amended complaint has been filed in the ring boys sexual abuse lawsuit against WWE, TKO, Vince McMahon, and Linda McMahon. Three new plaintiffs have joined the original five, one of which accuses Pat Patterson of also participating in the abuse. PDF link: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

This suit rightly challenges Trump’s lawless restructuring of the entire Federal Government without Congress’s authorization. Read the details here: statedemocracydefenders.org/fund/massive...
